Simply Sassy... CAS Card

Hello Crafty Friends!

I chose to do a CAS (clean and simple) style card, as I felt the quote and image spoke for themselves.

Stay safe and well!

Snark and Sass ...

Hello crafty friends!

Today I want to share a fun snarky set of ATCs.

Who doesn't love a little sass? I have so many sassy stamps, and never enough time to share them! These three will be sent out to a friend. :) 

I hope you all enjoy these!

Stamps Used:

Hello Crafty Friends

Happy Mail Art Monday!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Today I am happy to share some super fun mail art!

Stamps Used:

Apparently I have an Attitude

Typeset Scallop

Lady with Scissors

(I just love this lady!!!)

I started with and A2 Envelope, and began by stamping my lady with scissors and my typeset scallop in memento ink. 

Next, I masked everything off and created an address box.  I used distress ink in carved pumpkin, to color my background.  I used a Tim Holtz layering stencil (THMS078) to add depth. 

I used various Blick Markers to color everything after removing the masks.

To finish the envelope off, I stamped my sentiment and added a marching postage stamp. 

I hope you all get a chuckle from this envelope!

Late for Facebook...

Hello, It's me Tera again...

Today, I am here to share another super fun and easy Mail Art Monday 

card and envelope set!

You know I love snarky mail, and this one is just too perfect for so many people...

(Myself included)

Stamps Used:

I was in my kitchen

Hands on face

I started with and A2 envelope and card base. 

I began by stamping my woman with her hands on her face on both the envelope, the card, and on scrap paper. (the scrap paper was to make the mask).

Next I stamped my sentiment on my card base then set this aside. 

Returning to the envelope, I covered my woman with the mask. I also created a mask for the address box from some scrap paper. 

With everything masked off, I began to add my background detail using a Tim Holtz shifter stencil with distress ink. 

When the background was complete, I removed my masks and colored my card and envelope with various alcohol based markers. 

I hope you all like this fun little set!!

Have a wonderful week!!

Ignore Reality

Hello Again, 

Happy April Fool's Day and Mail Art Monday!!!






Stamps Used:
Man with Tea Cup
Double Coffee Rings
Doodle Frame
Cow in your face
Deliver To

I started with an A2 Envelope and card base.

I forgot to take pictures until a few steps in, so I hope you understand my description.
I started by inking my man with tea cup (when inking I masked off the head on the stamp). I stamped the body in memento ink. With the body stamped and dried, I masked this area off.

Next, I stamped the cows head in memento black and masked it off too.

On the envelope, I stamped my scalloped boarder "Doodle frame", and deliver to. I masked off the address area with a small block of paper, and masked off my boarder.

(Below you can see all the pieces masked off)

With everything masked off, I used Distress Oxide inks in: mustard seed, fossilized amber, ripe persimmon, and spiced marmalade. The stencils used were the Tim Holtz layering stencils. 

The best part... removing the masks....

And coloring the base pieces.

Now, the finishing touches...

I stamped my coffee ring stamp. I added a few flicks of distress stain inks in black soot, and picket fence. I also added a matching cactus stamp.

Below on my matching card, I added a Tim Holtz snarky sticker.

I hope you all enjoy this set. This was made special for a new friend whom is also a coffee lover as well as a fan of cows. 

How do you drink your coffee? 
Mine is usually 90% milk and sugar with a hint of coffee...
AKA cappuccino, frappes and lattes

Coffee Time!

Hello Again!!!

Who else here is a Coffee Addict?
Some of you know I am!!!

In Honor of my love of coffee, I have decided to make a set of 3 ATC's. 

Stamps Used:

Coffee Ring Stain

Fancy A Cuppa

Lady with Cuppa

Man with Tea Cup

I stamped these all with black stayzon ink, and versa fine sepia ink.  

(I also used the verafine to edge everything) 

Tis the season!

Since it's getting so close to Christmas I thought it only appropriate to make some Christmas inspired ATC's!  I made a trio of them, as I'm known to do, and they each make me smile.  Here is the first one using three different VLVS stamps!  I used the Cowgirl with tray, the Arched window and the Set of three ornaments to make this ATC

and here is a close up to show the red embossing I used for the ornaments

For the next ATC I used the Lady with wine stamp

 

and here is a close up

and last but not least this little gem using the fabulous Angry lady stamp

I hope you enjoyed these ATC's and I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with family and friends!
