How to take a Christmas image and have it not look Christmassy at all!  Here I've taken the Mice Holiday Stamp set and using just the girl and the mice I've created this lovely Bookmark.  Makes a great gift too, or how about for someone going of to college or university to bookmark the course book.  https://www.sweetsentiment.us/ https://www.facebook.com/Judecreates1/ https://www.facebook.com/sharonscraftyplace #sweetsentimentstamps #sweetsentiment

Have you been waiting for the Christmas stamps from Sweet Sentiment Stamps, then your wait is over.  What I love about the ethos with Sweet Sentiment Stamps is that they try and do stamps that can be use for other occasions.  A lot of the time simply changing the colours can give a totally different look and feel.  My first card is the lovely Playful Poinsettia, which can be used in so many different ways. Here I've stamped and embossed onto coloured paper, I then cut this out and then I've scanned that in. The rest was made using a scrapbooking digital kit I've made this card.  This is a great way of making a 3D looking card that is flat for postage.  Or you could quite easily recreate this with embellishments you already have. https://www.sweetsentiment.us/ https://www.facebook.com/Judecreates1/ https://www.facebook.com/sharonscraftyplace #sweetsentimentstamps #sweetsentiment

It's realise time over at Sweet Sentiment Stamps and I have been playing with the Playful Poinsettia Stamp set.  This is the second card I've made this time I've made it into a lighted wreath.  I used the cheap craft LED lights you can buy from Amazon (don't buy the craft ones they are so expensive) I got a pack of 20 for less than £15.    https://www.sweetsentiment.us/ https://www.facebook.com/Judecreates1/ https://www.facebook.com/sharonscraftyplace #sweetsentimentstamps #sweetsentiment

We have a extra digital stamp release happening this weekend from Sweet Sentiment Stamps, called Not Worth the Herbs (you get just the witch stamp, the extra images are from kits I already own), which is just in time for you to get your Halloween cards made. Here I've done a mix of alcohol markers and watercolour to make this card, with a little bit of computer magic too. Colours used - Tri-Blend and Copic's https://www.sweetsentiment.us/ https://www.facebook.com/Judecreates1/ https://www.facebook.com/sharonscraftyplace/ #sweetsentimentstamps #sweetsentiment #copiccoloring

I so love the flower stamps from Sweet Sentiment Stamps as they are so easy to use and to change.  Here I've coloured Calming Clematis using water colours again in yellow's for a more autumn tone which I've cut out with my Scan'n'Cut with a 3mm boarder. The word art is from a digital collection I already owned and the oval is from a digital frame kit.  I use Serif CraftArtist 2 for the digital part printed then stuck the flowers on.   https://www.sweetsentiment.us/ https://www.facebook.com/Judecreates1/ https://www.facebook.com/sharonscraftyplace #sweetsentimentstamps #sweetsentiment #copiccoloring #copics

As you may know every month Sweet Sentiment Stamps have a flower stamp realise, and this month its called Calming Clematis.  Here I've made a DL card using these stamps, I did do a practise run first to get the colours right using my copic's as well for a change. There is also a watercolour wash in the background just to help the flowers pop. I always swatch my colours out as it makes it easier to keep to the 3 pen blend.  https://www.sweetsentiment.us/ https://www.facebook.com/Judecreates1/ https://www.facebook.com/sharonscraftyplace #sweetsentimentstamps #sweetsentiment #copiccoloring #copics
