Recently, Sweet Stamp Shop had a meet and greet in Florida and....

there are NEW stamps just for the Sunshine State! :)

And since the stamp sets are TOO cute and also versatile, you don't have to live in Florida to own these cuties.

Here are some cards that I made using the Sunshine State set.

Check out the cute turtles and flamingo!

Here I stamped the flamingos in 3 different pinks and made a background with it.

And this card is made using the Hello Florida set. 

Don't you think the mermaid is just so beautiful chilling at the beach? :)

I have stamped the Planted kit onto some cardsstock then colored the image in using my Kuretake Zig Clean Color Real brush pens. For the diluted watercolor look, just spritz some water and dip your marker slightly into the water to paint. So far, I had no problems with this so --- guess it should be ok? :) I've also stamped the sentiment on some vellum to get the subtle see through effect.

For my next card, it's this cute owl!

Although I don't celebrate Halloween, this cute owl from the Happy Owl'oween kit is too cute to be missed. I colored him in using my Copic markers then created a circle see through card using my Kaisercraft nested circle dies -- which I had distressed with Tim Holtz distress ink {mustard seed}. Then I added a piece of acetate for the see through portion. I also painted some stars using the Zig Clean color pens.

Since Christmas is just a few months away, it's never too early to start making holiday cards!

I have stamped and colored the Love Bug Christmas with my Copics. Then I wanted to make my own Christmas wreath. So I took the Die-namites Summer Branch die and cut it into smaller pieces to form my wreath. :)

***

The next card, all coffee (or tea) lovers will love this stamp!

I first created the coffee stains and splatters with some Dylusions ink spray. Didn't want to use real coffee so ants wouldn't come near it! hahaha :)

I colored the One Little Latte coffee mug with my Copic and then added some Freckled Fawn enamel dots.

***

Next up, is a pet lovers FAVORITE I am sure!!

The Purrty Wonderful & Bones About It stamp kits is a MUST have because it is sooooo cute! I added spots and stripes for my puppy and kitty. I also stamped the sentiments and cut them out into bubble shapes. Did you notice my cute borders? :) The dog/fish bones are also from the same kit. Then I created the rainbow background using Prima Oil pastels.

***

And for my final card, it's Mermaid time!

This mermaid from the Spirit of a Mermaid kit is just so beautiful! I have colored her with my Colleen colored pencils and then created the glitter waves using Tim Holtz distress glitters {peacock feathers, broken china}. I have also inked the sentiment up with Distress ink {broken china}.

I'm on the Sweet Contributor team and I'm excited for the AMAZING Sweet stamps!

Here is a card that I made using the Pug Life set :)

Don't you just  loveeeeee all the different faces of the pugs?

This set is PERFECT for dog lovers!

Here's another cute set for all you nature lovers - Garden Plans :)

This set is awesome not only for planner addicts but for card crafters too.

I cut out the dirt slopes without any die -- then stamped the dirt lines into it :)

Then I stamped the flowers and carrots along the dirt slopes. 

Another MUST HAVE super cute set!

And here's another cute planner set, which is also great for cards!

I stamped the floor with Totally Rad stamp set then stamped all the cute appliances out in a row. Did you see the sentiments too? Love them all! :)

I am sharing a mermaid step card I made over at the SVG Attic blog --  using the brand NEW JGW Fathoms Deep kit.

This set is just AMAZING and has SO MANY to look forward to making in just ONE set!

You have cards and gift boxes all in such fun shapes. Have I mentioned how talented Jodi is?

So here is my mermaid card when it's closed up. It's like an oyster clam shell :)

When opened up, it is a step card, with the beautiful mermaid and underwater scene!

I added liquid pearls to decorate the sides and scaled down a piece to add the underwater background patterned paper. I also gave the beautiful mermaid some ombre pink dyed hair :)

Happy Weekend! :)

 It's Inspiration Time with The Cutting Cafe design team on the blog and here's a shaped card I made using these sets:

Pencil Shaped Card

All Occasion Circle Scallop Word Set 1

I used the pencil shaped card and used some Amy Tangerine Finders Keepers pencil paper for the background. Then I used Sweet Stamp Shop "College Plans" stamp set for the cute study elements. Then I die cut the scallop sentiment and colored it in! 

Here's the close up of the pencil shaped card.

Do visit The Cutting Cafe blog for more inspiration.

Have an awesome weekend :)

Happy weekend and hello to all Jessica Lynn Original stamps fans! :)

I am the FIRST stop of the blog hop (list can be found below) and I am EXCITED to show you the brand NEW Brentwood Owl - Home of the Brave stamp set.

Although I don't celebrate it here, this set is still cool for the mix of images and can be used in other ocassions too.

***

Here's my first card using Brentwood Owl in his army uniform which I have colored in with my Copic markers. 

I also had this cool MT Tape camouflage washi tapes that I thought matched this card nicely :)

For the sentiment, I first distressed the cardstock with Tim Holtz distress ink {vintage photo} and then embossed the sentiment in white.  Also added some silver brads to match Brentwood's dog tags.

***

For my next card, I absolutely love this snail image with the mail. SO cute don't you think?

I also stamped the mails overlapping each other by using a mask. Just stamp one on a post-it note and cut it out to shape. Then layer it before stamping the next. :)

I also gold embossed the sentiment and added lots of hearts the "The love of a cat" stamp set.

So here are some PRIZES to be won!!!

Hi, I have my Design Team post at the Sweet Stamp Shop blog -- sharing some Sticky Sweet inspiration for Christmas! I decided it's good to be ready for the holiday season and make some Christmas gift tags.

I LOVE the Fall Into Sticky Sweet because it has a mix of images which are perfect for different ocassions. So for this project, I am only choosing the Christmas images. Seriously... these stickers are AMAZING! Who ever heard of a sticker that can be colored with almost all kinds of medium?

Here are my finished gift tags for Christmas!

And... some close ups of the tags.

I also added some hand lettering to some of the tags.

For the FULL Tutorial, please click HERE to see how I made these simple and fun Christmas gift tags.

I’d love to see your Christmas gift tags, so please tag Sweet Stamp Shop on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. You can also tag me on Instagram @scrappyscrappy_.

Happy Monday!

I am sharing my Design Team post over at the SVG Attic blog  ---  a shaker clam shell box I made using CG Under the Sea kit.

This clam shell box is so unique because it mimics the porthole AND it is a SHAKER "card" box.

I added some under the sea creatures stamps from Sweet Stamp Shop's Between You & Me set that I have colored and cut out to adhere onto the base. Then I added a multi-colored glitter as the shaker element.

Here's the view from the top!

Hope you're inspired to make your very own shaker clam shell box and have a wonderful week ahead!

Happy Sunday! :)

Sharing a card I made for my Design Team post over at The Unity Stamp blog.

There's a NEW Stamp of the Week (SOTW) and it's a Folksy Partridge.

Don't you just love making Christmas cards?

I decided to go for the non-traditional Christmas colors for this card and colored in the partridge with my Colleen colored pencils.

This bird is just screaming at me to "Color me! Color me!" :)

I also added some Viva Decor liquid pearl in silver for the borders.

For more info on Unity's SOTW, please click HERE.

It's Christmas in AUGUST! :)

The Cutting Cafe Design Team is creating all Christmasy projects on the blog and I decided to make a card with the printables.

The printables are already colored except for Mikala Ann -- which I colored her in with Copics and added some Stickles glitter. For the Merry Christmas sentiment, I colored it in using the Sakura Gelly Glaze and tied it with some Trendy Twine - Holly Berry.

Here are the supplies used:

Christmas Mini Colored Set

Christmas Elisha Jean and Friends

December Christmas Daily

Sweet Stamp Shop is celebrating 5 years of Sweet and here's a BIG Happy BIRTHDAY (and Anniversary).

And for this Birthaversary -- there are SO many NEW and CUTE stamps (as always!). 

Pssttt... in case you didn't know, I am so blessed to be Sweet's contributor and I LOVEEE their stamps.

I just couldn't resist making stuff with all the new stamps, so GET READY for lots of photos below :)

***

First up, it's Burnin Love!

Although I've never been to Vegas but this just brings me there! 

So with Vegas weddings being so popular, I made this cake topper to decorate a wedding cake.

So... since I didn't have a wedding cake, I used a donut instead ... hehe :)

I colored the images with my Copic markers and glittered them up with Stickles, coz Vegas needs some bling right? :)

***

Next up, it's Totally Rad!

First up, I LOVE this set because I am an 80's baby :) Totally brought me back to my childhood days.

I have it a retro feel with all the funky colors.

And I also made some cute notecards with these iconic items from the 80's.

Recognize any of it? :)

***

Next up, it's the Musical stamp set.

OMG I was totally wishing for a musical set from Sweet and here it is! 

And didn't Nicole totally rocked it?

I made a card using this set and I LOVE how fun you can mix all the stamps up.

Here's a quick stamp out I did with some of the musical images in this set.

OK, NOW.... for the BEST PART!

What's a celebration without FREEBIES? :)

So, with ANY purchase you make during our Sweet celebration (August 3-5), you will get this Birthday Unicorn DIGI stamp for FREE! 

How super cool is this??

And since you know the older unicorn was retired, I think this is PERFECT as the next unicorn.

Here's a card I made using this digi and Happy Birthday stamp set.

I couldn't resist adding lots of foil with Thermoweb's deco foil pen and stickles too!

And...

That's not all!!

WHAT... there's MORE??
