Sweet Stamp Shop New Release – Part 2

Hi! As promised I’m back with another card to celebrate the Sweet Stamp Shop’s November Release.  I created this card using the Monogram Alpha set:

What I’m Designing This November

Hi! I wanted to drop in with a sneak peek of what I have been up to:

Design_Projects_NOV2013_JustTyra.com_Sneak

  • Check out my series “Just Add Ink” at The Sweet Stamp Shop where today I create a scene using a little ink and patterned paper.
  • I got a chance to create a scrapbook page using a sketch from PaperHaus.  It was so fun to play on a larger area of paper!
  • Finally, check out my post over on the SEI Blog where I used an everyday item — a grocery bag — as inspiration. There is a linky open to share your own creative inspiration!

I’ve been a little under the weather this week, so I’m looking forward to using the weekend to rest and recharge.  I hope to post the rest of my 30 Days of Lists next week and share more of my creative journey.  Take care and have a wonderful weekend! xo- Tyra 😉

Happy Everything with the Sweet Stamp Shop

Today I have shared a few special occasion cards and an envelope over on the Sweet Stamp Shop Blog! Please check it out.  Before you go, I wanted to share a quick little card I made:

happy_everything_card_by Tyra for Sweet Stamp Stop_justtyra.com

I really do like how pearlescent paper adds a special touch.  Perfect for the holiday season.  I embossed this image of a stack of presents and colored it with Perfect Pearls and a little water.  Sometimes when my white embossing does not come out uniform, I use my white signo pen to touch up the card.  I think this cards needs a little something extra.  In the meantime, that’s all for me. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend. xo- Tyra

A little bit of Awesome

Hi I’m checking in to share with you a little bit of awesome:

First, I was nominated for a Liebster Blog Award by the very talented Mayuri of the blog Candles In The Garden.  Thank you so very much Mayuri!  The Liebster Blog Award rules vary but are usually given to favorite blogs or bloggers with 200 followers or less.  In turn, I can give this award to five other bloggers who inspire me.  There are so many who inspire me, but for now, I will focus on a few.  They are:

So to all of you — you truly rock 🙂

Check out my first post with PaperHaus Magazine.  I got into the spirit of the season of giving and gratitude, creating tags perfect for host/hostess gifts.  Check out one of the gift tags I created:

Whew! That’s all for now. I hear the kids and the husband calling my name, so I better go.  Take care and have a wonderful weekend! xo- Tyra
