Designing With the Sweet Stamp Shop: CAS Plus

It’s been while since I popped in.  I will blame it on the recent snow invasion here in the US Midwest and a week of snow days for both school and work.  So we are behind in this household! In any case, I wanted to pop in and share a few sneaks and bonus looks at what I have designed for the Sweet Stamp Shop.  I am hosting a new series, “CAS Plus” where I (try my best) to show how to use I design elements on CAS (Clean and Simple) cards.

Last week I shared how I love using do-it-yourself journaling cards.  Here is one look at one of the cards I created:

Today I’m sharing on the blog a few tips on using washi tape.  Check out how I stamped a sentiment right on top of washi using (Staz-On ink):

Tip: using decorative edge scissors to give a distressed but consistent clean cut to the edges of your washi tape strips.  I love how I found a new use for an old staple 🙂

Check back tomorrow for another project I created using the super cute January Release! Thanks for much for stopping by the blog.

Than so much for stopping by!

JustTyra Design Team Projects

Take care and have a wonderful weekend! xo- Tyra 😉

Designing with the Sweet Stamp Shop: CAS Plus

Today I created a few cards featured over at the Sweet Stamp Shop as part of my new Series “CAS Plus” where I’m sharing fun CAS-friendly techniques. Click here for more.  In the meantime, check out this card I created using the latest release:

laundry_card_Tyra_Sweet_Stamp_Shop_edited-1

Lots of stamping on patterned paper here along with a fun embellishment to the cute little washing machine.  Would laundry be fun if all we had to clean were glitter?  Well, that’s all for me. Thanks so much for stopping by! xo – Tyra

Guest Designing for Paper Smooches

Whew! I’ve been away for a while, just….busy and yet still a lot to do before the holiday! That being said, I wanted to drop by and share a card being featured over on the Paper Smooches blog today:

We_Totally_Click_JustTyra_for_Paper_Smooches

I love the graphics from the “We Totally Click” stamp set.  I cut up the sentiment so that it could fit on the die cut (Silhouette) banner.  The funky paper is from an American Crafts  6×6 paper pad I (surprisingly) found at Michael’s.  And then there are the sequins. I loved being a Guest Designer over on the Paper Smooches blog and I was very thankful for the opportunity.

I hope to be back with later with some recent listing from 30 Days of Lists and few other fun projects to share.  Take care and thank you for stopping by! xo – Tyra
