Sweets...Reveal Day 2

Hello stamping friends! I'm back to help announce the second group of sweet sets arriving in the Sweet Stamp Shop.  The design team (and guest designers) have prepared some delicious morsels to tempt your sweet tooth...and your stamping muse!

Introducing:  

View Finder, Gears Backdrop, Warm Notes, Let's Chat

 

I'm happy to share a few little projects I created using the Gears Backdrop.  It was fun incorporating the Valentine theme/Date Theme...

What a fun little collage.  It all started with the red backdrop...Then I decided I wanted to incorporate some handcut gears.  After that, I just put a fun collage together, popped it up onto the red layer, stitched and poof...  There it was!  

I added the gears stamping to the hand drawn heart too.  The little red fan shape is actually half of a candy/cupcake wrapper glitzed up with some stickles!  

I added some little silver pearls to mimic the circles punched in the watercolor paper.  

And for another fun card created with this fabulous Gears set, I'm sharing this little collage:  

Now actually, this is a combination of two sets.  Nesting and Gears.  I stamped the gears onto craft cardstock using Ranger clear resist ink.  I stamped the frame only (framed sentiment in the nesting set) and incorporated some of the nesting doll faces into the "frames".  I really like incorporating paper and graph paper and it works so well with the gears set, don't you think?!

Handwriting the little "smile" sentiment just finished the card off.  I really like to have my sentiments on the front of my cards.  

Staples are a great touch on a card with graph paper!  LOL

And yes...Yet one more card.  This time I'm using some old, some new...Gears Backdrop, God Bless America ($7.95) and the really cute die set called Snapshot Fun ($5.95)!  What fun!

 

I stamped the gears background with colorbox chalk ink then stamped the sentiment and heart using Versafine Onyx ink.  After coloring the heart with Copic markers, I attached the Polaroid diecut onto the gears.  



 A closer peek at the card base and you'll notice that I repeatedly stamped the "Thank you for protecting our freedom!" sentiment using Ranger distress ink.  The twine, bling and clothespin were the final touches in assembling this "on the fly" card. 

This card is on on the way to the military base near my home.  I had thought about sending it to OWH but because of the paper clip and the "bumpy" nature of this card, I felt a hand delivery was more appropriate. 
 

I hope you are inspired by my creations and hope you'll stop back again.  Before you do, head over to the Sweet Stamp Shop blog to get more sweet temptations from designers like me.
