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!

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

Designing December: My progress so far

Hi It’s Tyra and I’m here to share my December journal progress:.  First, stop here to see the supplies and journaling prompts I’m using and stop here for my recommendations for Designing Your December. Here is my progress:

dd_cole_edited_justtyra

I’m realizing that my journal is not following a particular order or coordination between pictures and journaling.  I am incorporating #30 days of lists (see sidebar for details) along with pictures from everyday life.  I may also add some advent readings that I love and maybe some entries from my Oh Life.  I guess that reflects how my life is here and there and everywhere right now.  This holiday journal will capture pieces of it before it turns into yesterday.

  Take care and thanks for stopping by! xo- Tyra

30 Days of Lists: The Rest of September

I’m here to share the rest  of my #30 Days of Lists, from September.  I’ll say it again (and again) how I love how #30 Days of Lists provides interesting questions that seem to get to heart who you are: your likes, dislikes, quirks and everything in-between.  I will share a few favorite lists from my remaining cards:

30_List_JustTyra_19202122

List #19: Qualities I admire in others:

  • Honesty
  • Integrity
  • lovingkindness (a beautiful sounding & looking word, isn’t it?)
  • respectful
  • kind
  • hunble /down to earth

I don’t really have anything further to say about this because I think each characteristic speaks for itself. Wouldn’t you agree?

30_List_JustTyra_23242526

List: #26: Rules for being my friend

Sounds like a long lost list note from high school, huh? Seriously, my closest friends are genuine and nonjudgmental.  It’s something my mind and spirit can really sense in another person and at the same time this puts me at ease.   The other characteristics that follow closely behind are trust and love.  And that makes a good friendship a great one.

List # 28: In my fridge

I just want to point out that I think it’s hilarious that at one point both Kale (the superfood) and Pecan Pie (ultimate super gooey sweet bad for you food) coexisted in my fridge.

That’s it for my September List!
