Ideas for Sassy Cards

Hello and Happy Crafting!

Did you know June is for sass? I just made that up but the brand new Unity Stamp Company sentiment kit for June is out and it is a SASSY one. I wanted to do lots of stamping and somehow make this vintage girl shine. Plus, I’ll share some fun and simple ways to add something extra to your cards.

Add a Bow & Shine with Nuvo Drops

The Details

I’m keeping my supplies fairly minimal for this card set and just mixing and matching as I go along. For this one, I am using the amazing Pop Dots Background. I love the retro feel that matches this sassy girl so well.

Fun element: I added a textured bow and some Nuvo Drops for shine. The Nuvo drops mimic the Pop Dots pattern as well.

Add a Fun Bow Treatment

The Details

This time, I’m stamping this beautiful Bloomy Background. What a gorgeous backdrop for our funny girl. I stamped her and then popped her up in a banner shape.

Fun Element: this time I tied a multi-loop bow around the cutest tiny paper clip. Very vintage looking and it adds a bit of texture to the card as well.

Add Texture with Stencil Paste

The Details

Time to add a bit of texture and shine. Stencils are so very fun and I don’t use them enough. I just stamped the girl on a die-cut panel and pulled out a pretty stencil to add a little glitz to this card.

Fun Element: A shiny and raised pattern using a stencil and stencil paste. It is really easy to do and what a gorgeous effect.

Bonus Element: decorate the inside with a sentiment and die. It really finishes off the sassy sentiment going on for this card.

Layer it up with Stamping and Stencil Paste

The Details

Last we are really layering it on. This card has a mixed media feel. The stamping, die-cut layer, and stenciled pattern all come together perfectly.

Fun Element: stenciling over a stamped pattern adds a lot of texture and interest to this card.
