Out in Space

Yesterday I shared a layout my 6 year old son made using my new stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop called Out in Space.  Today I'm here to share a card I made using this super fun set.


My card stock is Stampin Up and the pattern papers are DCWV.  I added stickles to the rocket ship and paper pieced the alien just because :-)

I have a few other new Sweet Stamp Shop sets so I will be sharing more sweetness soon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Scrapping with the Sweet Stamp Shop

I just got the "Out in Space" set from Sweet Stamp Shop and had to ink it right away.  While I was my son came in and loved the space images!  SO he made his first scrapbook page using this set.  He used pictures of his favorite ride from an amusment park which happens to be a spaceship type ride.



On the bottom he wrote "said the alien" which is supposed to be the follow up to the stamped image "Fly me to the Moon" :-)

Anyhow, I had to share because it was too cute.

Stay tuned I'll be back tomorrow with a card using this wonderful set!

Sweet n' Sassy July Challenge

Today is release day over at Sweet n' Sassy Stamps!  Great new sets offered, be sure to go check them out!

They are also having a day of challenges over in their SCS forum HERE!  The first challenge is to make a one layer card.  When I hear that I automatically think literally one layer just ONE piece of card stock without any layers on top!  This is definitely a challenge for me since I love layers.  SO I pulled out some inks and came up with this:


In the end I didn't like the blank space on the left but didn't want to redo SO I just went with it.  But overall I like how this came out.  I used the set from Sweet n' Sassy called Beach Bum Cocoa.  I used Memento Desert Sand ink and the Distress inks Squeezed Lemonade (spring series) and Salty Ocean (summer series).  I wanted something around the edges so I just doodled an edge for fun.

Little Cocoa has pink glittery hears and I used some distress stickler for the sand:



Well that's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by!

Beach Bum

HAPPY 4th OF JULY to all my US friends!  

This week I played along with the sketch challenge from Sweet n' Sassy Stamps challenge blog - The Sweet Stop.    I didn't go with a 4th of July theme for my card but did go with a summer theme.  I used the beach bucket image with Cocoa from the Beach Bum set.  Along with that great image I paired it with some new DCWV papers called A Type of Art.

Here is the sketch:



Here is what I did:


Close up:


I paper pieced the bucket and added glitter to his ears, isn't he the cutest?  I've been having fun with the Sweet n' Sassy images lately!  Get ready because in just a few weeks July 19th they are having a fun Christmas in July blog hop and friends are invited to link up!  

Have a safe and happy fourth!

Till later!
