Karber Stamps Preview: "You Are So Sweet" set!

20 Comments

Hi! Thanks for stopping by to check out the card I’ve made with this month’s Karber stamp set! It’s called “You Are So Sweet” and will be available in the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Store this Saturday, October 8!

You might notice a change in the Karber stamps…they will now be released as acrylic cling stamps instead of unmounted red rubber, and instead of two individual stamp releases, there will be one 4″ x 6″ set released each month!


Here’s my card! I only used two images from the set and one of the sentiments.

Supplies: Image and sentiment stamps (Karber Stamps “You Are So Sweet” set), patterned paper (Bo Bunny Sweet Tooth), card base, Copic markers, foam tape.

Be sure to visit all rest of the SCRS designers for more peeks of You are So Sweet. Sparkle will be giving away You are So Sweet to one lucky person! For a chance to win, you need to comment on all of the designer’s blogs (list below). Then stop by the SCRS blog and comment on the Leslie post. You have until midnight EST each day to comment. The lucky winner will be announced the following day!
