New stamps have arrived at Sweet Stamp Shop!

Hi, everybody! It’s time for another new clear stamp release at Sweet Stamp Shop! I have cards with three of the new sets to share with you today, so let’s grab our sleeping bags and kick things off with the “Campout” set:
Now, I’ll be the first to admit the outdoors doesn’t feel so “great” to me. I don’t think I’d go camping unless I had a nice little trailer like this one! I chose pastel colors to go with the retro style of the camper, and whipped up a wedding card. (As an added feature, the camper is mounted on a wobble spring.) Here’s a closer look:
My second card for today’s new release is this fun birthday greeting featuring the “Koala” stamp set:
I paired the Koala Family images with the “Balloons” and the party hat stamp from the “Too Hip” set. The sentiment was created with the “Alpha Tabs” alphabet set. Because the koalas are colored grey, I chose to color the balloons brighter so they gave the card pops of color like the background paper has in its design!
Here’s a closer look at the dimension on the balloons! After coloring, I added some clear dimensional glaze to give them shine and shape:

My third card for today features the new “Condolences” set, paired with the “Elegant Flowers” set. I went with a soft, watercolor look for this card. I know a lot of my crafty friends have a hard time making cards for sad occasions, and I admit, I do, too! Keeping the design simple and the colors soft seems to work well.
Now that you’ve seen all three of my cards, here’s a special treat for you!

Step right up! The circus has arrived at Sweet Stamp Shop!

Hi crafty friends! Step right up, because it’s time for the show to begin! The circus has arrived at Sweet Stamp Shop, and I have a trio of cards that are sure to surprise and delight you!

You’ll want a ringside seat for the first performer, “Elephant Hearts“! It’s one of three NEW stamp sets being released today at Sweet Stamp Shop, and each one is a star!


Today’s second performer has a “Juggling Act” to entertain you! He’s also great at birthday parties and would be happy to show someone special how much you appreciate all they do!



And the final act in the first June release is this little guy who is full of “Monkey Business“! (I hope those plates aren’t breakable!)


And here’s another look at all three of our star performers: “Monkey Business“, “Elephant Hearts” and “Juggling Act“!


So, how did you like Sweet Stamp Shop‘s first June release? I had a lot of fun playing with these sets, and they work so well together! Having all three sets opens up tons of possibilities for birthday invitations, thank you and inspirational cards, or fun cards for the special little guys (or girls) in your life! It’s so easy to mix and match with these sets!

As a special THANK YOU for coming to our release day show, take 10% off your purchase of these three new stamp sets with the discount code: JR310

A sweet color challenge at Sweet Stamp Shop!

Happy Tuesday, everybody!  I’ll have some projects up shortly with the first June release at Sweet Stamp Shop, but today, I’m helping out my fellow DT member Danni, with a card that I made for her new color challenge at the Sweet Stamp Shop blog!
I chose the “Cookie Sprinkles” set for today’s card:
I’m really working to improve my photo taking skills, and I have to tell you, I probably took 10 shots of this card in front of different backgrounds before I settled on the one to use on my blog! The weather wasn’t cooperating, so I had to shoot this picture inside on my craft room table. I added the matching sequins as a nod to the color combo and to the sprinkles theme of the card!
Here’s the color combo for the challenge:
and the stamp set that I used, “Cookie Sprinkles“:
You can find all of the details for this challenge at the Sweet Stamp Shop blog! And, once the challenge has 25 entries or more linked up to the Sweet Stamp Shop Flickr group, there’s a prize!

Some SWEET news!

Hi, everybody! Before the weekend starts, I thought I’d share some fun and super SWEET news with you! I’ll be joining the Sweet Stamp Shop design team in June!  WOOHOO! If you aren’t familiar with their stamps, you will be!
I made this card for the DT call, which gives you a good idea of  Sweet Stamp Shop‘s style! I used the “Cheeky“, “Too Hip” and “Doggy Dog” sets, along with a bit of layering and masking.
If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know that I LOVE cute food with faces! Here’s another project that I made for the DT call, using the “Cookie Sprinkles” and “Monogram It” sets.
I know you’re going to love what I’ll be sharing with you over the next three months from Sweet Stamp Shop! Make sure you check ’em out on Facebook, and of course, pop over to the Sweet Stamp Shop blog and sign up for the newsletter!
Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
