Been having a play with Sweet Sentiment Stamps set Pensive Peony, using watercolour paints for a change this is my purple version. I have also done another version in yellow. Both have the Sentiment stamps onto vellum.  This Sentiment is from a scrapbooking kit I had.  https://www.sweetsentiment.us/ https://www.facebook.com/Judecreates1/ https://www.facebook.com/sharonscraftyplace #SweetSentiment

Well its release weekend and I have a pop up card I made using the Sweet Sentiment stamp set called RAWR. I made this card for our friends little girl's 3rd Birthday, as she is a right tomboy and I thought this was so her. She loved it and it has pride of place on the windowsill. I used another kit I already had for the papers etc (its from Polkadoodles called Sticks and Stones). This was all cut out with my Scan'n'Cut using the SVG template for the base card which was purchased from Creative Fabrica. Once everything was cut out it was just a case of using construction weight acetate to make tabs to stick onto the panels. This show's the card folded flat as you can see everything flattens down. I took an A4 envelope and just took about an inch of from one side. Glued it back together and my card fitted in lovely. The other option would be to make a box for this.

New stamps set from Sweet Sentiment Stamps called Sentimental Susan. I've been wanting to have ago at making 3D flowers and thought this was the ideal stamp. I did a colour wash over this shimmer paper (Pink Frog Crafts Ice Gold A4 Paper Collection - 120gsm) then once dry I stamps the flowers and leaves. You could also use a colour wash digital paper and print that onto the paper.  I had to cut these out by hand as my Scan'n'Cut couldn't see the lines. But it was easy to do, just took a bit time. I used a A5 card blank and cut a panel for the front, which I added a bit of shading to using yellows inks. I then used Pinflair Glue Gel to stick the flowers together then I stuck these down and added the leaves and the swirl. After I was happy with the layout I added some glitter gems to the centres of each flower. The sentiment was a digital one I had on my computer.  This was then left over night to dry you need to leave any glue gel for at least 12hrs before you move it in...

I've being having another play with this months new release from Sweet Sentiment. This set is called Swamped find out how I made this and what colours I used on my other post.

Needed a quick card this week for a friends Birthday.  This is a 6inch square card I used Serif CraftArtist 2 to make this card.

Well its that time of the month again when Sweet Sentiment bring out new stamps. I've also moved over to the main DT as it gives me more scope and more designs to play with.   This month I've chosen the Swamped Stamps set as these cute guys.  I also thought this would be good for male cards and Fathers Day isn't that far off.  Aren't these stamps just so cute! My First cards, I've done a splodgy wash background with watercolours and added some splodges too.  The white circles are dies cuts (dies from Carnation Crafts - Eyelet & Ring Collection) and I had some waterdrop beans from my stash. Matted onto a 6in card. This is my second card this time I've got a very faint wash behind the circle die cut I coloured in the characters using Tri-Blend Pens I used my scan'n'cut to cut them out with a 2mm boarder. Matted onto a 6in card.  Come and join the FB group for more ideas and the rest of the new stamps too. https://www.facebook.com/groups/234249981697602

 Our good neighbour and friends had a little Boy this week, so I made them this card and gift. This was made using the New Arrival Die set from Carnation Crafts, the plane is also from Carnation Craft backing papers I made in Serif CraftArtist. This was a file I purchased from Design Bundles I used Serif CraftArtist to add the details.
