Studio Light Valentine Heart Stamps Cards

 

Hello lovelies!  I'm sharing a new group of cards I made with gorgeous stamps and papers by Studio Light.  For my first card, I used the Candy Jar stamp (BL-ES-STAMP351).  I colored the image with the new Studio Light brush markers and fussy cut the jar.

I used the Card Passe Partout Rectangle cutting dies (SL-ES-CD447) to cut the layers.  The center panel comes from the gorgeous Love Ultimate Scrap Collection (SL-USC-PS18).  I added a folded doily, some loopy twine and a stamped sentiment from the Bubbly stamp set (BL-ES-STAMP356).  I was so pleased with the colors on this card!  I finished with some Studio Light adhesive pearls.  

I wanted to use the stamp in a completely different way, so I did some colored pencil work using my Prismacolors on kraft.  For these layers, I used the Card Passe Partout Square cutting dies (SL-ES-CD446).  I used the same sentiment stamp and added some white highlights with a Uniball.  It's been ages since I used my colored pencils and I really enjoyed it, though I'm a little rusty...  :)

My next card features the gorgeous new Flying Hearts stamp (BL-ES-STAMP349).  Again, I used the new Studio Light brush markers to color and layered with the Card Passe Partout Rectangle cutting dies (SL-ES-CD447) and the Love Ultimate Scrap Collection (SL-USC-PS18).

I went in a shabby chic direction with my final card and focused on using the imagery in the Love Ultimate Scrap Collection.  I cut my elements using the Slim Passe Partout Oval cutting dies (SL-ES-CD445).  Isn't the cage a beautiful image?!  

I embossed the "love" sentiment from the Bubbly stamp set (BL-ES-STAMP356) onto a black strip to add contrast and added some of Studio Light's adhesive pearls, along with a torn piece of paper doily, of which I made a crunched ribbon.  I hope you've enjoyed these cards today and are inspired to create some Valentine cards of your own.  xx, Autumn

How Tweet It Is Valentine Cards with Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps

 

Hi friends!  I'm excited to share some adorable Valentine card ideas with you today!  I've had such fun playing with the How Tweet Stamps & Dies by Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.  I hope you'll join @sweetnsassystamps and myself @sewpaperpaint for an Instagram hop on January 18 for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate.  

For my first card, I made some buffalo check paper using the Texture Tiles 4 stamp set and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide.  I made some heart paper by stamping the tiny hearts from the How Tweet set in a pattern and watercoloring the hearts.  I used the Hearts & Stars Scalloped Border dies behind my birdie pair.  I used the coordinating dies for the hearts and birds and fussy cut around the sentiment to complete the card.  

For my next card, I did some more watercolor with brush markers and die cut the stamped elements.  I made an inky background with Broken China Distress Ink to resemble the sky behind the sweet bird.  

For my final card, I made some more patterned paper with the Peppermint Stripe stencil and a blending brush, using Hickory Smoke Distress Ink.  I carefully stamped "tweet" in a pattern.  I layered with a circle die and the Hearts Scallop Border, adding a twine wrapped bow and some pearls.  I love the "bird-day" sentiment!  I hope these card have given you some ideas for the How Tweet stamp set.  Best of luck at winning the generous prize from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps, Autumn

Studio Light Grunge and Marlene Crazy Birds Slimline Cards

Hi friends!  I've been making a few mini slimline cards over the past few months and decided to share the batch with you today.  I've enjoyed the slightly elongated shape and find these minis are quick and easy to create.  For my first one, I dipped a Bristol panel into Distress Oxides in Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemon, Orange Marmalade and Worn Lipstick.  I carefully bent the paper and dipped just a stripe into the watered inks and used my finger or water spray to blend them lightly.  I used the Romantic Florals stamp set from Art by Marlene's Bold and Bright collection (ABM-BB-STAMP124) to stamp a floral pattern in the same color across each section.  I splattered the inky panel with bright colors of acrylic paint.  Next I used my new favorite stamp, the owl from the Crazy Birds stamp set from the Back to Nature collection (ABM-BTN-STAMP147).  I watercolored him in the same Distress Oxidess with the addition of Wilted Violet, which I also used to color the balloon from an older stamp set (Marlene's World collection A Windy Day (STAMPBM68).

Once I incorporated a balloon into my project I went crazy!  I wanted all of the Crazy Birds to hold balloons!  LOL!  My mom wanted us to recreate a journal page following THIS YouTube tutorial.  It's a good one!  I cut the cloud stencil from sheet plastic for the background and used Distress Inks and Oxides in Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch.  I made a large panel and used part of it for my journal page and had a strip leftover, which became this card.  The swirl and cloud are also from A Windy Day, accented with a white paint marker.  

My next card is much prettier in person.  I used the flower strip stamp again to stamp a rainbow of Distress Oxides in the same colors as my first card.  I finished with a die cut sentiment and watercolored Wildflowers from the Back to Nature collection ( ABM-BTN-STAMP150).

 

I changed directions with my final card and chose a stamp from the Studio Light Grunge collection (SL-GR-STAMP199).  I watercolored the image and added the stamped circles from another Grunge stamp set (SL-GR-STAMP33).  

I hope these cards have inspired you to get inky today!  xx, Autumn

Studio Light Mini Book and Wardrobe Die Cuts

 

Hi friends!  I've got quite a lot to pack into today's post, so I hope you'll grab a cuppa and enjoy!  It has been my pleasure to create with the new Ultimate Scrap Collection by Studio Light (SL-USC-PS21).  

I immediately fell in love with the deep, moody purple florals in this collection and spent an evening fussy cutting while watching TV in preparation for a few special makes.  For this first project, I used the USC with the Pocket Creative Folder dies (SL-ES-CD454).  These fab dies cut every element for a wee mini book.  

The front and back inside pages have flaps and the prescored pages can easily be adhered with a variety of options for tag pockets and layers.  If you love working small, this mini book die set is for you!  I hope to add some photo booth snapshots to personalize my finished book.    

My second project features the fabulous Floral Heart Frame die set (SL-ES-CD465).  I layered several fussy cut flowers in the central heart for dimension and finished with a sentiment stamp from the Happy Birthday stamp set (SL-ES-STAMP305) stamped in Archival Plum.  

I love the elegant look of this layering die set!  

Finally, I have a very different style of project for you.  I used the 3D Closet Card Shape dies (SL-ES-CD455) to make this amazing little wardrobe that folds flat to fit into an envelope.  There are tons of dies to create all sorts of layering options for the doorway.  

I used a little Rub 'N Buff to accentuate my card base with gold.  This die is perfect for you fantasy fans of Narnia!  How fun to send a little wardrobe to a dear friend.  I hope you've enjoyed these projects today.  Until next time, Autumn
