Happy Birthday

Hello wonderful crafting friends!  It is Lisa here with you today and I am sharing a bright and fun Birthday card with you today...

To create this card I started by stamping and masking the donut and cupcake images from the Sweet Treats Stamp Set and coloring them in with Copic Markers.  I added the sentiment from the new  Snarky Birthday Sentiments stamp set I then die cut the edge of this panel.  Next I used the Sprinkles Stencil on pink paper with white pigment ink.  I love the way this turned out!  Once everything was dry I layered my panels onto my card base, and finished it all off with a bow and some sequins.  I also used the Snarky Birthday Sentiments stamp set on the inside saying, " Treat Yo' Self" hehehe!  Love it!

Thank you so much for stopping by today and Happy Crafting!

Adding Texture with Sparkle featuring Sweet Treats

Hello, all!  It's Tara and I hope you've been having a fabulous week!  Today I am sharing a sweet thank you card featuring Sweet Treats!  I am late to the donut parade but I'm finally here and couldn't resist adding lots of sparkle to these adorable little guys!

I started by using some Bo Bunny Sugar glitter paste (one of my fave go to items) and the new Sprinkles stencil.  Using some light pink card stock made me feel like the entire card was actually a giant, pink frosted donut!  I love the look of the clear sparkly sprinkles on the pink.  Nice and subtle for a background but still really eye catching and glittery.

I stamped the donuts on some Bristol Smooth White card stock and used my beloved Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers (colors are listed in supplies below) to color them in.  The frosting is sparkled up with some Neon Flamingo Stickles.  I always forget about my Stickles but when I bust it out I just fall in love all over again!

My sentiment was die cut three times and stacked to create a dimensional word.  I used the 'sweetie' from the 'thanks, sweetie!' sentiment in the stamp set and just embossed the part I needed since I was using the die cut word.  I think the black helps to offset all the fun pink.  And my craft room is black and pink so I'm a little partial to that color combo! 

I hope you enjoyed today's card and I'll see you all again soon!  Thanks so much!  Bye!

So Happy Together...

I can't take you loving' nobody but me, for all your life.... come on and tell me you totally aren't singing that song now... hehehe!  It is Lisa here with you today on this amazing Wednesday! I hope your week is going well so far, because I'm hopefully about to bring a little smile your way with today's card...

This card uses lots of fun Mint Owl Studio products including: Happy Moments, Coffee Craze, and Sweet Treats Stamp Sets, the Half Tone Stencil, and Sprinkle Stencil.  Woot woot!  To create this card I started by going over my Sprinkle Stencil with yellow and orange distress inks.  I then die cut the heart out of the middle and set this panel to the side.  Next, I used the Half Tone Stencil on a separate panel and went over this one with fired brick distress ink.  I then lined the two panels together to stamp my sentiment in the center.  After popping the sprinkled panel up with foam adhesive I stamped and colored the coffee cup and donut and fussy cut them out to add in the corner of my heart.

I have to admit I wasn't really sure where I was going with this card when I started out with the first stencil, but after looking at this sentiment and singing the song over and over in my head the rest just sort of fell into place :).

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
