Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #112 - Use Kraft Cardstock

Today at Sassy Studio Designs the challenge is to use Kraft cardstock. I chose a design from the Steampunk collection.


The image was colored w/Copics and coupled w/papers from my stash. I added grosgrain ribbon, glittered paper used w/Sprockets and Sprights Nestabilities. I included several layers, each matted including a minature post card stamp. I also used my favorite swirl bling. To finish, I used the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge w/accompanying sentiment stamp along w/Kraft cardstock.

Sassy Sponsorship

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring FF #99 - Anything Goes at If The Shoe Fits...Scrap It!
This is my contribution to the sponsorship. I love this card! The image is from Sassy Studio Designs and was colored with Copics. I used Martha Stewart glitter on the wings and gel pens on the bow and arrow. The heart was cut with the Cricut while the papers, acetate glitter heart and ribbon are from my stash. The silver doily is from Wilton and was bought on clearance from Michaels as was the swirl bling. The February stamp is from Close To My Heart and the ticket was cut from the Cricut from the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge. Hope you like it as much as I do. Thanks for stopping by.

Nurse Heather


This is preview week at Sassy Studio Designs. Be sure to check it out. There will be a new image previewed everyday. This is Nurse Heather.



I colored the image w/Copics and used papers from my stash. This is my second clean and simple card in as many days. What is up with that? The border punch is part of a Martha Stewart "Punch Around the Page" set. The swirl bling, my favorite, is from Michael's Recollection. I hand wrote the sentiment because the battery is dead in my Xyron hand held printer. Although my husband says he can't read my handwriting, I think the sentiment is quite legible! Don't forget to stop by Sassy Studio Designs to see what the other design team members have created.

Corrosive Challenge 142 - Love Bites

Today's Corrosive Challenge is "Love Bites." What does it mean to you? I used Dracula from Sassy Studio Designs who was acutally a part of a Halloween release. In my twisted mind I figured who would know better that "Love Bites" than a vampire!


The image was colored with Copics and because I wanted to keep the design clean and simple I used lots of sewing machine stitching and faux gel pen stitching to add texture and interest. The papers are from my stash and the heart was cut with the Cricut. The sentiment was handwritten with a white gel pen. Dracula is popped up with foam dots. Finally I just had to add a little bling. Don't forget to visit the Corrosive blog to see what the rest of the design team has created.
