Cheers...

Hi!  It is Lisa here with you today and I have a bright way to cheer someone up...

To create this card I used the stars from the Birthday Bash Stamp set and stamped it in several bright colors.  I then stamped the cheers, glasses and arrows from the Scripty Sentiments Stamp Set onto a tag.  I layered this all onto my cardbase and finished it off with some matching sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by and see you 2017!
Happy Crafting!

No Matter How Old...

I am totally loving the snarky sentiments in the new Snarky Birthday Sentiments stamp set!  It's Lisa here with you today, and I'm sharing this totally girly and fun Birthday card with all of you...

To create this card I started by stamping my fun background with the Retro Patterns Stamp Set.  Next I used various spray mists to splatter colors all over, and set this to the side to dry.  I then stamped my sentiment from the Snarky Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set onto pink paper and added the drink images from the Scripty Sentiments.  Finally I finished this off with a sparkly black bow cut with the Packaged Pretty Die Set.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and Happy Crafting!

Custom Card Backgrounds with Mint Owl Studio

Hello!

We hope you're ready for another Mint Monday Video with Jess today!  She created a fun background using the Scripty Sentiments stamp set.  I love to create my own patterned paper with stamps and ink.  You can pick all your own colors and will never run out of patterned paper!

She stamped all of the hexagons from the Scripty Sentiments stamp set with a rainbow of inks.  She then heat embossed the owl and sentiment from the Outrageous Owls stamp set with white embossing powder on black card stock.  I love the way the black and white pops against the rainbow background.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

I'm Tickled Pink

 Hello!

We start the new stamp reveals tomorrow, but today we are sharing an adorable card made by Cassie. I love the Distress Ink background for the cute little piggy image from the Piggy Party set.  The pink frame is also a nice touch that ties the whole card together.

For her setniment, she combined one of the sentiments from Piggy Party with the thank you stamp from Scripty Sentiments.  The sequins she used are from the Chocolate Truffle Mix.

Have a great day!

Tracy

Sending Hugs

Hello!

I hope you're ready for an amazing card made by Cassie today!  She combined several stamp sets to create a gorgeous background!  Plus, it's watercolored, which is a super hot technique at the moment.

For the background, she combined the mushrooms and leaf from My Deer, flowers from Some Bunny, flower from Easter Blessings, flowers from Piggy Party, and the heart and dot from I Moose You.  It's just incredible how well they all work together!

For the sentiment, she used the Scripty Sentiments set and heat embossed it in gold.

Have a great day!

Rainbow Birthday Card

Hello!

Welcome to Mint Monday with Jess!  She has a fun birthday card to share today!  Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more crafty inspiration.

She inked up the background with Distress Stains by swiping the stain across the card stock.  She stamped the first sentiment from the Scripty Sentiments set over the blue stripe with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  Next, it was time to stamp the rest of the sentiments.  She stamped each of them with a coordinating Distress Ink pad.

She die cut out the rainbow piece with a stitched square die and matted it on a piece of black card stock.  To the black card stock, she stamped the arrows with VersaMark ink for a subtle touch.  The final step was to add in a few sequins.  She used the clear sequins from the Peach Passion mix.

Also, feel free to check out Jess' channel for more inspiration!

Have a great day!

Hello!

We hope everyone had a great week and will maybe get a little crafty time in this weekend!  Jung is joining us today with a bright and bold card!  It is sure to scare away those winter blues.  Does anyone else have snow on the ground still or is it warm where you are?  It is supposed to be in the 50s here next week and I could not be more excited!

She stamped the flowers from the Happy Mail set (it is currently out of stock, but will be here next week) and colored them in beautifully.  I love the addition of the enamel dot to the center of each.  The sentiment she used comes from the Scripty Sentiments set.  I have been using this set on every card lately!  It's that awesome!

Have a great weekend,

Tracy

Thank You

 Good Morning!

We have some watercolor goodness for your today!  Lisa stamped the wreath from the Bundles of Joy stamp set and colored it in with watercolors.  She then stamped the sentiment from the Scripty Sentiments set in black ink and outlined it with a white gel pen.  That helps the sentiment "pop" on the card.

She also watercolored the background and added in a few pink sequins from the Blossom Mix. Such a pretty card!

Have a great day!

Set of Cards with Scripty Sentiments

Hello!

We have a set of cards to share today made by Cassie.  She used Distress Inks to create the different background combinations and then splattered them with water.  The water reacts with the ink and leaves the "bleached" look.  So cool!

She then heat embossed some of the sentiments from the Scripty Sentiments set with gold embossing powder.

On others, she heat embossed the sentiment in silver.

I just love the idea of creating a set of cards.  This would make a great gift!

Have a great day!

St. Patty's Day Shaker Card

Happy Friday!

As you know, around here we love shaker cards!  Jung created an amazing St. Patrick's Day shaker card!  Green is my favorite color, so I am in love with this card!  She heat embossed the glasses and sentiment from the Scripty Sentiments in gold.

She then used the Gold and Mint Owl Mix sequins inside of the shaker card.  I love the glitter paper around the outside edge to bring even more sparkle to the card.  So pretty!

Have a great weekend,

Tracy

With Sympathy + Winners

Hello!

Lisa is joining us today with a simple, yet stunning sympathy card.  She created the background with Distress Inks and then heat embossed the sentiment from the Scripty Sentiments set with white embossing powder.

She also added a few white and clear sequins from the Snowflake Mix.  You could also use the white sequins from the Chocolate Truffle Mix and the clear sequins from the Mint Owl Mix or Peach Passion Mix.  That is the awesome thing about the mixes.  It's like you get 3 colors for the price of one!

We have two winners to announce from the Share the Love Blog Hop!  Please email me with your mailing address within 1 week.

Thank you so much to everyone who hopped along and shared your cards with us!  It was a great event and we cannot wait to do it again next year!

Bright Watercolor Birthday Card featuring Mint Owl Studio Stamps

Hello!

You might need to put on your sunglasses for today's video!  Jess created a bright background for her birthday card.  It's sure to put a smile on the face of the recipient and make their birthday extra special.

Watch here || Watch on YouTube

She created the background with the Prima water-soluble oil pastels.  These blend really well with water and have great color.  After it was dry, she heat embossed the sentiment from the Scripty Sentiments in white for the focal point and then stamped the rest with black ink.

She then stamped the chevron pattern with the oil pastels to match the background.  The final step was adding the sequins from the Hearts and Kisses Mix and the Royalty Mix.

Have a great day!

Miss You Pig Time

Hello!

We hope you you all enjoyed the Share the Love Blog Hop yesterday!  We cannot wait to see what you create!  Cassie is on the blog today and I don't know if I've picked my jaw up from the floor yet!  It is such a cute card and I love how she combined two stamp sets for the sentiment.

She created the scene with the Piggy Party stamp set.  Isn't the mud amazing?  That's one question I never thought I'd be asking.  Haha!

For the sentiment, she stamped the "missing you" from the Scripty Sentiments set and the masked off part of a sentiment from the Piggy Party set.  Very creative!

Have a great day!

I created this card using the new Scripty Sentiments stamp set.  I love the images that come with it, so I decided to use one to be the focal point of my card.  I stamped it with lilac, bright pink, and yellow inks.  I then heat embossed the sentiment onto a piece of black card stock so that it would stand out on the card.

My final step was to add some Electric sequins.  These sequins are so bright and fun!  It adds just a touch of sparkle to your card.

A Couple More Peeks

Hello!

We hope you loved all three of the new stamp sets!  Remember, they will be available at 7 AM CST on Monday.  We have a big blog hop starting at the same time, so make sure to get your orders in quickly - we do anticipate that some of the sets will sell out!

I created a couple of extra cards using the new sets to share with you.  This first one is using the Easter Blessings set.  I created the watercolor background and then stamp the image on a die cut circle.  I then colored it with Copics to match the background.

The second card I made was using the new Scripty Sentiments set combined with the older Some Bunny set.  I stamped the blue and green background on a die cut circle and then stamped the sentiment on a piece of black card stock.  I colored in the bunny with my Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils.  The sequins I used are from a new mix called Ocean Waves.  They are gorgeous!

Have a great weekend,

Tracy
