SST Sweet Card

Today I have a "Sweet" card from Sweet Stamping Treats with the stamp Mouse Treat. I printed this stamp to make a Christmas card, and then I never got to it. So when I saw it I just had to use it.

I used a bunch of scraps from my pile to make this one. The black is Coordinations cardstock. The red swirls paper is from Imaginisce, and the pink striped paper is from Making Memories. The strip of black and white rose print paper is from DCWV. The "sweet stamp" is from Inkadinkado.Be sure to check out all the cute stamps at Sweet Stamping Treats.

Sweet Stamping Treats Dollar Digi Sale

The SST Dollar Digi Sale is back! This month's stamp is Hearts Circle. Super cute for Valentines!

I decided to use this one for a decoration. I made this rosette hanging decoration for my office. I plan to make a bunch more.

This is actually really easy. I used 2 strips of 2x12 paper and my glue gun. I scored the strips every 1/2" and then glued the ends together to make it long enough for this big rosette. Super easy. Get your stamp today and get started on those Valentines! Happy Crafting.

Love U Card with SST

This week's theme at Sweet Stamping Treats is "Love". So I just had to use their super cute Tweets Hearts Roses stamp.

Isn't this cute? Reminds me of strawberries for some reason. This paper came out of my scrap pile, so I have no idea where it's from, but I think I made some good use of scraps!

Sweet Stamping Treats Tag, Bag or Box Challenge.

Today at Sweet Stamping Treats they are having a Tag, Bag or Box Challenge. You can enter this one by using any SST stamp to create a tag, bag or box. Since I made a box the last time this Challenge came up, this time I made a bag.

I made this bag using the Sally's Teddy Bear stamp from the December stamp release.

Sweet Stamping Treats Christmas Card

Well, it's finally that time of year! Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is here. So I am all set with my Christmas Cards! Here is the one I created using Sweet Stamping Treats Reindeer Forest Stamp.

 

Most of what I used to make this card comes from a kit I got at Target on clearnace. the red dots on the frame of the stamp are those clear plastic dots. I colored in dots with a white pen and then added the red ones over the white so that they would show up better on the black frame. The Noel is stickers that came with the kit. I also colored over the stars on the stamp with my white gel pen. I think it came out very well. 

Happy Crafting and Merry Christmas!

Sweet Stamping Treats New Dollar Digi Sale Stamp

It's time for a new Dollar Digi Sale Stamp over at Sweet Stamping Treats. This time it's an adorable Holiday Wreath Stamp. I think it's perfect for Christmas cards, so that's what I made with it.

Instead of cutting out the center of the wreath for my card, I used a stamp from the dollar bin at Michael's. It actually goes perfectly with this wreath. I used some snowflake garland from Martha Stewart, and flowers from Prima to finish off the card. The background paper is from My Little Shoebox. Head on over to SST and get your stamp today so you can get started on your Christmas projects.

New Dollar Digi Sale at Sweet Stamping Treats

You can use it for any winter sentiment, which makes it great for all kinds of cards.

Sweet Stamping Treats Halloween Challenge

This week on Sweet Stamping Treats there is a Halloween themed or colored card challenge. I love Halloween, so I was all over this one. I used one of their newest stamps, Trick or Treat.

I cute the black frame from the Happy Hauntings Cartridge, and used my Martha Steward edge punch to add the cracks to the green cardstock. The sentiment I printed from my computer. I think it came out so cute.

Happy Crafting!

Sweet Stamping Treats Sneak Peek

This is the new Boo Greetings Stamp. It's just perfect for Halloween! Aren't you just dying to buy it?

Dollar Digi Sale!

If you are looking for the Back to School Blog Hop Day 2 post please click here!


Hi all! There is a new Dollar Digi Sale Image on the Sweet Stamping Treats Blog. This stamp will be on sale for only $1 for the next 30 days.  

Its perfect for fall, but I just couldn't use it that way. I started too, as you can see from this mostly colored image:

But then I realized my creation would look just like the others on the blog and I can't have that! So I changed it up a bit.

I cropped the photo to just have the flower from the image, and then I used it to create this fun summer time card using Echo Park's Sweet Summertime paper and a few of their stickers. I hope you like it.

Happy Crafting,

Amber

Tipsy Tuesday - Masking

Click here if you are looking for the Inspired Stamps Sneak Peek

Today's Tipsy Tuesday post from Sweet Stamping Treats is about masking. Masking is a way to add a background to paper without coloring in the stamp. Normally you wold stamp the image on a piece of post-it or some other kind of sticky paper, but you can't do that with digi stamps.But you can still mask your project, which is what I did on my picture frame using the Violet Fairy stamp from the last blog hop.

I take a nice thin, light colored sticky-note and put it over the stamps so that I can trace out the shape of the stamp I want to mask.

This is what it looks like.Then the outline out of the sticky-note.

This image is a little larger than my sticky-note so I just took the sticky corners and used them to help me cover the entire image.

For this simple background I used a blue cats-eye chalk, and stamped it around the image until I liked the amount of color on it.

It looks like this.

Then I removed the post it.

And this is what my finished image looked like (before I framed it).

Happy Crafting!
