Hello crafty friends! April is here already and Spring for sure has arrived in Southern Ohio. We can see some new leaves, buds, and new birds visiting our backyard. Change can be beautiful, let’s embrace it.

Today, it is the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps new release day and we are celebrating it with an Instagram Hop with theme: “Finding Beauty in Times of Change.” I join the design team sharing projects that feature both the new release and our current line of products. 

On my CAS card today, I used the Embrace Change Stamp Set and Stitched Rectangle Die Set. I stamped the butterfly on heavy-weight vellum with VersaFine Clair Nocturne and then heat-embossed them with clear-glitter embossing powder. After that, I colored them with alcohol markers. 

I added the vellum paper on a white cardstock and then cut it with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I added black mat background cardstock to it and tied up some white twine ribbon, then added it to the card base.

I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Clair Nocturne, trimmed it, and added it to the card with 3D foam tape.

Head over to my Instagram Post Here to enter the giveaway and to hop along with us. You will find beautiful inspiration from the hop participants for sure!!!

Thank you for stopping by my blog! Have a wonderful season.

Hello coffee loving friends! Today, I am a guest at the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge blog. This is a fun challenge for you who love caffein and Christmas card!

Inspired by this month’s theme: Coffee + Snowflakes, I made this coffee snowflake shaker card using the die sets and stamp set from our sponsor, A Jillian Vance Design.

I used the Bold Snowflake Die to make that snowflake shaker background. I saved the snowflake die cut to use on another project later. I added a piece of acetate paper with double-sided tape on the back the negative snowflake die cut and then I added some 3D foam tape. I added mix of sequins and jumbo glitter on it and added a piece of silver glitter cardstock on it. I added the whole shaker to the card base with enough permanent adhesive glue.

I stamped the cup from More Coffee and Jesus Stamp Set on a white cardstock with permanent black ink pad and then colored it with alcohol markers. I fussy cut it with scissors and then added it to the card with permanent adhesive glue.

The sentiment is a die cut word from Merry Christmas Script Word Die. I used gold brush to color the letters and added the whole sentiment to the card with permanent adhesive glue.

I cut out some of the small snowflakes from the Sam E. Snowman Die Set and added them on the card with permanent adhesive glue, too.

Final step, I added some white paint splatters on the card for extra snow effect.
