Create It Wednesday, Sketchy Alphabet Stamp Set

Create It Wednesday ~ {Mexico Scrapbook Page}

I truly hope you’re finding some fun ways to create word and number layouts for your cards and art projects using the new {Sketchy Alphabet Stamp Set}! Today, I’m sharing a scrapbook page from my trip to Mexico last month with the wonderful BF.

This stamp set is made to create all the title, subtitles, headings, and phrases that you just can’t find in a ready-made stamp set! And it really does scream for you to color in the letters and numbers 🙂 I used a stamp press to make sure all of my ‘Mexico’-s looked the same regardless of my ink switching. I also added the “Don’t forget to take a break” sentiment from the {Blossom Stamp Set}.

I hope you’ll get really wordy and think up ways to use the {Sketchy Alphabet Stamp Set} for your projects! Have a great day 🙂

Design It Monday ~ {Happy Birthday!}

May 29, 2017 8 Comments

Hello and Happy Memorial Day! I don’t have a memorial card to share, but how about a birthday card! I’ve mixed images from several stamp sets with the numbers from the Sketchy Alphabet set.

I created a mask then stamped the numbers inside the small jar from the Oh So Fun stamp set. The number 3 & 6 were placed close together and colored in to highlight the birthday being celebrated. My jar was fussy cut then placed over stamped images on a white panel. I used the grid-like tape from the retired Border Tape #1 set along with the circles from the Positive Thoughts set. I decided I wanted to add more of the aqua color inside the jar. The teeny heart from my Sweet Pea stamp set worked perfectly!

The sentiment and it’s frame (Oh So Fun stamp set) were added to a tag die cut then popped onto the card with foam tape. A couple of tiny rhinestones help to pull the gray colors together.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this card brought a smile to your face today!

Hello there! When I saw this new PR Sketchy Alphabet stamp set with letters and numbers, I immediately flashed back to studying with my son when he was very young. He was diagnosed with a learning disorder and one of the tricks we learned was to make flash cards to help him remember information. I think this set would have come in handy! We used to make the cards together so he learned while he was making the flash cards and then went over them time and time again until he memorized whatever the information was! Here is my idea for math for a very young child just starting out:

I stamped the word with the PR Sketchy Alphabet set and made the lines with a stamp from the PR Coffee Love stamp set. For the circle on the tag for the ribbon, I stamped the letter O. I thought it was cute!

Then inside there are simple addition equations:

I hope you like this idea! Thanks for stopping by!

Hello, Lovely by: Rosemary Dennis!

Hi everyone!! Rosemary here for my second guest post using the fun Sketchy Alphabet stamp set. This time I paired the set up with the super sweet PRS Blossom stamp set.

The flower was stamped on some bright yellow and white patterned paper from My Mind’s Eye and then trimmed out. I cut a piece of coordinating paper down to fit a card front and then cut that piece into two. The sentiment was stamped on the lower half using the Sketchy Alphabet and the word lovely from the Blossom set. I adhered the two pieces of patterned paper to my card base and then attached the flower. Some Nuvo Glitter Drops in Blizzard White were added to the center of the flower and dropped in various spots around the flower.

Inspire Me Friday ~ Hello, Friend

Hello, everyone, and welcome to my first {Inspire Me Friday} post featuring the new release stamp set, Sketchy Alphabet!

I was inspired to play with various colors based on the patterned paper I used on my card base. The nice thing about this alphabet set is the ability to color the letters any color you want! I used colored pencils to match the various stripes on my card base.

Using my Mini Misti, I lined up the letters to spell “friend,” and then added the “hello” on top from the Positive Thoughts set. I added color to the letters using colored pencils. The layered flower mimics the colors in the paper and in my letters.

I hope you are enjoying the Sketchy Alphabet set and how versatile it is for cards and other projects! If you have projects to share using Precious Remembrance Shop stamps on Instagaram or Facebook, be sure to add #preciousremembrancestamps so we can check them out!

Create It Wednesday ~ {Sketchy Alphabet Bookmark}

I hope you’re enjoying the new release of the {Sketchy Alphabet} Stamp Set! I’m sharing a bookmark for this week’s Create It Wednesday using this really fun stamp set.

sketchy bookmark full

I love reading and have been needing to put this bookmark die to use and the {Sketchy Alphabet} letters were perfect for some multicolored stamping. I stamped each letter in a different color, cut them out, and matted them on a small piece of paper that I colored using the ink pad directly on the paper…makes a perfect match! This was my first time making a tassel too 🙂

I hope you enjoyed my project and check back Friday for the creative Judy Marino’s post using this cool stamp set.

Design It Monday ~ {Thank You!}

May 15, 2017 3 Comments

Hello, Lisa here today with a project featuring our new Sketchy Alphabet stamp set. I’ve paired it up with some of our previously released sets to create a school themed thank you card. Something suitable for a teacher or even the bus driver!

I left all of the letters intact on the acetate sheet they came on. Using Washi Tape to hold it in place, I inked up just the letters and stamped them on an aqua panel with my Misti. Next came the star splatters from the Journey stamp set. My sentiment is from the Thanks set.

To make the thank you even more special, I whipped up a little goodie bag with some sweet treats! A few letters from the Sketchy Alphabet set along with the school bus from the School Days set were added to die cut pieces. I dressed them up with patterned paper, a die cut doily and ribbon. The windshield on the bus is coated with glossy accents and the headlights are rhinestones! Just some added fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! We have tons of inspiration headed your way using the new Sketchy Alphabet set. Stay tuned…

Happy Saturday! I hope you have time this weekend for a little crafting! Maybe this new PR stamp set, Sketchy Alphabet, will get your mojo working!

Today I have a FUN card for you:

000_4956 I LOVE how you can use this set to make sentiments and how you can color the letters in. For the tiny circles I used the period from this Sketchy Alphabet stamp set and for the larger circles I used the PR Positive Thoughts stamp set. The squiggle underline for the word HI is from the PR Sweet Pea stamp set.

This is a card you need to hand someone in person because of that Gorgeous flower or if it’s for a special someone you can put it in a padded envelope and pay the extra shipping. I know they will be excited to receive a card from you!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like my card!

Hi everyone!! Rosemary here for my first guest designer post on the Precious Remembrance Shop blog and I’m super excited to be here!! Thanks so much to Dyane for asking me to be a guest designer!! Have you seen the newly released Sketchy Alphabet stamp set??? It is super cute and very versatile!

For my card today I decided to use it in a way that is a little bit more elegant and created a card that would be perfect for an anniversary or a just because type of card. I started by stamping all the letters in the alphabet on white cardstock using a light gray ink. I used my mini MISTI to do this to get a somewhat straight alignment of all the letters. Once that was done I die cut the panel down with a rectangle die. I then arranged the A, E, I, the heart from the Positive Thoughts set and the U on my MISTI and then stamped everything on vellum using VersaMark watermark ink. Copper embossing powder was applied and heat set. The strip was trimmed down and adhered to my main panel with rolled up glue dots. I added some sequins that I had that are a pale copper color. A piece of copper foil cardstock was die cut using the same rectangle die and then both pieces were adhered at angles to my light gray cardstock base.
