I used Leafy, Romantic Expressions - 3 and Pierced Curly Frames/Tags Nesting Dies

STAMPlorations Sticker Monday - June 22nd 2020

Hello friends! I am back with my final "Sticker Monday" post featuring Clear Stickers. Every month, we draw one lucky crafter to win a $15 gift code -- randomly drawn from all comments left on the Sticker Monday posts at the STAMP blog for the month, as well as from my blog. So don't forget to leave a comment.

Today I am sharing super quick and super fun cards for men, I am featuring. "Bits of Washi #1 - Clear Stickers" 
Let me show you the cards I made... For this set, I wanted to make birthday cards for guys. So I kept the design clean and simple. I used washi tape sticker in three unique ways to make three different ways birthday designs

Here is my first card...

I adhered the washi stickers on white card stock and fuzzy cut each of the strips. I then adhered them with some dimension to make a gift box. To add finishing touches I added ribbon die cut and a sentiment strip with some splatter.

Here is my second card...

Birthday cards must have gift boxes, candles and cakes and I incorporated them all in each of my designs. Only here instead of stamping the candles I used washi tape stickers. I think its super fun. what do you think??!!!?

I paired stamping for the flames with the stickers :) I kept the other design elements constant.

Here is my third card...

For my final card I used washi stickers to make layers of a cake slice. Added a candle on top and again kept the rest same.

I hope you like the cards I created and that I inspired you to try stickers on your projects. You can also make the same design without adding any dimension by simply adhering the stickers right on the card stock.

Besides the stickers, I have used the following Snarky Birthday to you, Little Love Birthday Wishes and Gift Builder #2
   

This is my last post for Sticker Monday feature but you will see a lot more cards from me featuring these stickers in future. I hope you enjoyed all of my posts :)

Thank you soooooo much for all your lovely comments. Love reading them!

STAMPlorations Spotlight - Stencils and Sentiments!

Hello friends! I am back with another spotlight project over at the STAMPlorations blog. I hope I will be able to inspire you. I decided to make birthday cards to celebrate STAMPlorations birthday month :) I am in love with Skinny Sentiments dies and they gave me the idea to use sentiment dies in three ways and to make the sentiments shine I decided to use stenciled backgrounds. So in these I used the sentiments the traditional way by layering, then I used the negative and finally I just used the skinny dies and not the layering part.Let me show you...

I have used  Skinny Sentiments, All Blooms, Stained Glass, Weaving stencils, Shaker Balloon #2 Star, Shaker Balloon #3 Oval, Shaker Balloon #1 Heart and Little Love Birthday Wishes for sentiment strips. I have used the following shaker blends White Frost, Sunshine Yellow and Bubble Gum Pink

STAMPlorations Sticker Monday - June 8th 2020

Hello friends! I am back with the special "Sticker Monday" posts. I will be sharing various styles of cards and also various ways you can use the Clear Stickers on your cards :) I am so loving the stickers. Every month, we'll draw one lucky crafter to win a $15 gift code -- randomly drawn from all comments left on the Sticker Monday posts at the STAMP blog for the month, as well as from my blog.

Today I am sharing cards where I combined stickers and shaker cards :). I have featured "Happy Happy - Clear Stickers" 

Let me show you the cards I made... For these cards, I wanted to create shaker cards using three different dies. Making Birthday cards is usually my top priority because they are my most used cards :) The font of the sentiments on these stickers is just gorgeous and I wanted to use them. I wanted to use the stickers as a part of the shaker element.

Here is my first card...

I also decided to use dies that would define a birthday and celebration. So I picked Cupcake, balloon and Gift box. Aren't these cupcake dies fun. Love that layering makes them so fun :)

Here is my second card...

For all my cards, I wanted to work with patterned papers and die cutting in harmony. To pick the right combination I usually get cues from the patterned paper set. Like pick a few sheets from one booklet. Or you can pick one paper and take cues from that and pick papers that would match colors on the one you picked.

Here is my third card...

Besides combining patterned papers and making shakers. I also stamped some images like hearts, leaves and flowers on my cards.

I hope you like the cards I created and that I inspired you to try stickers on your projects.

Besides the stickers, I have used the following Cupcake Builder #2, Gift Builder #1, Kathryn's Big Wishes Coordinating Dies and Frames and Flowers Golden Autumn, Mocha Swirl, Sunshine Yellow - ShakerBlends along with a few patterned papers that I have been hoarding ;)
