Sweet Shoppe Birthday Wishes Card with Lexa

Hi everyone. Lexa here today with Sweet Shoppe (with coordinating dies) as the star of my card. I fall in love instantly with this set as I'm a sweet tooth myself, I craved for something sweet after I saw all the images. I bet some of you understand how I feel. Hehe.

This card is a very simple one, I started with a 4.25" x 5.5" smooth white cardstock, blended with Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Distress Inks for the background. Because I needed a "ground" to place my donuts, I cut a strip of plaid patterned paper as the tablecloth. Two donuts have holes on them and the others don't. The trick is I wipe the hole before I stamp the image, easy peasy right? Then I stamped different toppings for each donuts.

For my card I choose the donuts with four different glazing flavors: chocolate, strawberry, mint and vanilla. My favorite will be the mint with crunchy chocolate on it. Yum! I stamped all the images with Versafine Onyx Black ink, watercolor them with Distress Markers after that. I also add some glossy accent to give a real glazing look. Here's a closer look..

Thank you for looking, I hope you like today's card as much as I do. Have a wonderful day!

Sweet Shoppe Rainbow Cupcake Card by Vanessa

Hello everybody! Vanessa here with a card using the Sweet Shoppe Stamps & coordinating dies. The images of this set are so yummy! For my first card, I chose to create a lemon cupcake:

First, I trimmed a piece of watercolor paper slightly smaller than my card base and inked it using yellow, pink and aqua ink. Then I added little drops of water. After it was dried, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment using silver embossing powder and adhered the panel to the card. Now I stamped, colored and die-cut the cupcake and adhered it with foam tape. I topped it with a slice of lemon from the Tropical Paradise set. Finally, I added matching sequins.

Can't wait to use this set again to "bake" something yummy :) I hope you liked today's inspiration! Thanks for visiting!

Sweet Shoppe Birthday Wishes Card with Lindsey

Hello, Lindsey here today sharing a birthday card using the fun and yummy set Sweet Shoppe stamps as well as the coordinating dies, new Fishtail Banners 2 and Sweet word die. I love all the sentiment combinations in this set and that it coordinates with the new Sweet word die. There are so many options! Let's get started on how I created this "sweet" birthday card.

I started with an A2 size card base of pink patterned paper. I then cut a green piece of cardstock with the scalloped Fishtail Banner 2. Then, I cut a piece of white cardstock and embellished it with the dot detail from the Fishtail Banner 2 die set. I wanted to use the Sweet word die so I made it part of my sentiment. I cut it from both pink and green cardstock and layered them together. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from the Sweet Shoppe set using some green dye ink. 

I also stamped the donut, ice cream cone, and cupcake from the set. I colored all my images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I adhered the sweets to the white part of my card, popping up the donut and cupcake with foam tape. Finally, I added a small strip of green cardstock to the bottom of the card to pull it all together. I added some Wink of Stella to all the sweets and some sequins for a little extra interest and shine. 

I love how this card turned out, and I can't wait to see what you come up with! Thanks so much for reading. Be sure to check back to the blog for more inspiration with this cute set!

Baby Bear, City Streets, & Sweet Shoppe Cards with Mendi

Hi there! It’s Mendi here today and I’m so happy to be back sharing some fun ideas with the latest release. Up first I have a card using our new Baby Bear set. I started my card by stamping the images from the set and just having fun coloring. These images are so much fun because you can use the bears as they are in a little diaper or dress them up with the bib, bow, sleeper and onesie images. The set also comes with quite a few tiny images designed to personalize the front of the bibs and onesies for endless combinations.

When I was done playing I had a moment where I was completely stumped feeling like the colors I had selected didn’t go together. To solve the issue, I created a custom background by blending those same Copic colors on two strips of cardstock to adhere to the top and bottom of my card. Truth be told when I was done with that, I still wasn’t quite happy. The colors felt a bit too bright for a baby card. To resolve that I heat embossed my sentiment on vellum and then added vellum over the top of both strips. Finally it was starting to take shape!

To complete my card I colored a handful of mini hearts and two offset scalloped circles along the edges using the same Copic markers. For my final touch I added some Diamond Stickles, topped with some Glossy Accents for a bit of sparkle.

For my next card I created a little downtown scene using our new City Streets stamps. I thought it would be fun to color each of the buildings with a monochromatic color scheme that would create fun pops of color when paired together.

For my 3.75″ x 5″ card panel, I inked it up the background with Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron distress inks using my favorite Jumbo Dauber, rounded the corners with my Corner Chomper and then stitched around the perimeter with my sewing machine. To add a little interest to my scene I decided to adhere the shops at an angle, trimming off the extra parts that fell of the edges with my scissors. To finish my card I heat embossed my sentiment on some black cardstock using white embossing powder. Love how they pop!

My final card use our new Sweet Shoppe set. This set comes with 15 unique sentiments all revolving around the word sweet as well as several “sweet” images like candy, ice cream, cupcakes, donuts and all sorts of sprinkles and toppings for you to personalize them. For my card today I chose to decorate the cupcake image, pairing one of the sentiments with the matching Sweet Word Die. Using another Jumbo Dauber I created an ombre effect by applying my ink from the bottom and using a lighter touch along the top.

To create the oversized scallop along the bottom of my card, I die-cut three 1-1/4″ circles and then hid the other half of the circle beneath my brown cardstock strip. I then cut three 1-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ strips of cardstock for the upper portion of my card to give the illusion that they are one continuous piece. I inked them up with a mix of inks to match my Copic coloring and then stitched around the edges of each before adhering my entire card panel to a card base.

I hope I’ve inspired you to get inky today!

Sweet Shoppe: A Very Sweet Set of Cards by Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here!  Today I have a set of three cards for you. All three were made using the set Sweet Shoppe (there are also coordinating dies available).

I started by coloring three watercolor pieces in various color schemes. I used Ken Oliver's Color Burst. For every card I used three colors.

After drying I stamped the cupcakes on these pieces. I chose the parts of the paper that looked the most like icing! I stamped the cupcakes on white paper and colored the lower part with Copics. After that I fussy cut all the images.

I die cut some squares from white cardstock and created three matching backgrounds by inkblending and spritzing some water droplets on the paper. Than I stamped the sentiments in Versafine black ink, the best ink for sentiments and detailed images.

For every color combo I chose a matching patterned paper and assembled the cards.
To make the toppings of the cupcakes look more realistic I added some Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents.

If you choose the same design for all your cards, it is easy to make a few cards at the same time.

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week.
Anni
