Sweet Stamp Shop August 2019 Release

hello!!
join me in welcoming the Sweet Stamp Shop back after a little hiatus that included a move for the company and sweet little baby for Nicole!

today I'm sharing the projects I made with the new sets and I hope they make you as happy as they make me!
because, honestly, my inner Lisa Frank fan is freaking out! ha!

my first card uses the new Roller Girl stamp set, which is amazing!!

see? that set, swoon!
I am SUCH a fan of roller skates and ANYthing 80s!
so here's my FUN card:

eeeep!
I popped up the skates and then added some glitter to the stars and the fire!!! looooove the glitter, which is PERFECT for the 80s feel!
and the top part of the background was ink blended with Distress Inks in Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade!

my second card uses the fun vegas-y Slot Machine stamp set!

it's perfect for making cards for my husband who LOVES vegas!
I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then fussy cut them all out!
that sentiment CRACKS ME UP!! ha ha ha!! 
I can still remember playing nickel slots in college and jumping up and down and squealing when we 'won' what felt like a million coins!!! (it was 5 dollars...ha!!)

my last card uses the amazing USA Map stamp set...which I'm SUPER in love with!

and yes, I stamped, watercolored and fussy cut every SINGLE state...for those of you playing along at home, that's 50 images, some of which are SO SMALL! ha!! but they're PERFECT for making cards and adding to a planner! 
for my card I used most of the states, and arranged them in a rainbow order! 
the sentiment from the Whole World Stamp Set and was heat embossed in white and popped up with foam tape!

oh!! and I have to share the other stamp set being released: Summer Stickies!

who else is in LOVE with this, like I am?!

so that's the release!

my first card uses the awesome Visiting San Francisco stamp set!

I colored the image with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then fussy cut it out and popped it up with foam tape! love the dimension! 

my second card uses the sweet James 1:17 stamp set!

I am in LOOOOVE with that sweet bunny and balloon image! 
it's sooooo cute!
The images were popped up with foam tape against the ink blended backgrounds! the sky was created with Distress Oxide Inks Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers. the grass was created with Lucky Clover and Twisted Citron! then I sprinkled some water on top!

my last card uses the super cool and FUN Succulents stamp set!

looooove those cute plants!
I ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks in Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio! such a pretty color combination!

love them!

those little unicorn-ice creams have got me all heart eyes and squeals!! they're so cute, and the phrases are JUST PERFECTION and so funny!! ha!!

don't you love them?
I used some white embossing paste and a star stencil to create the background, and then popped up those cuties for some dimension!!

and the Ride or Die set is SO COOL, too!!

I used some Distress Inks to create the background, and I just LOVE how it looks like they're riding into the sunset, well at least that was my intent!!

oh my goodness, they're so CUTE!
I am in LOVE with those cute little birds and the bunnies are just cute as can be, too! ha!

the first card I made is with the birds from Chickadee Love...I LOVE THEM!

my 2nd card uses Big News set with those adorable (and nosy!) bunnies! ha!

I used the Heart Stitched Metal Dies to create the shape of my card - it's the best heart-shape for a card base!!!

...if I do say so myself! ha!
again, I colored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and fussy cut them out. one of the cards uses the image cut with a white edge around everything, and the other image was cut against the black outline!
the soft kraft like paper has some white embossing paste stripes (made with a stencil) and drops of white acrylic ink! I heat embossed the sentiments from the Prince Charming stamp set in white onto vellum and attached it to the card!

he's ADORABLE!!! EEEEK!!!! I'm in love!! ha ha!!
I used a cloud die cut as a mask, and did some Distress Ink blending to create the clouds and grass! I just LOVE that green and blue together!!

my last card is for all the special Grandma's out there!

so sweet, right? I colored the image and then stamped and colored the image AGAIN! that allowed me to cut out the bow and some of the flowers and pop them up for dimension!! the sentiment was heat embossed and the background was just stamped repeatedly in a light grey ink!

I hope you all enjoyed this AWESOME release!!
