Make It Stick!

Hi all!

Did you know one of my favorite super dooper easy cards is to use stickers! Penny Black stickers are my fave and you can create a whole set of cards in about an hour with just a sheet.

Here's what the sheet looks like....
And here are just some of the creations you can make!!!

Card #1 - This card is pretty much an exact copy of a stamped card using Penny Black stamps. It's really neat that the company matches up its stamps and stickers so you can create backgrounds or stamp some pieces to coordinate!

Card #2- Mat up the sticker, add some ribbon and you're done!
Card #3 - Use the strip on the sticker sheet as an accent border, mat the sticker and add some Stickles glitter glue for some glitz!Card #4- Mat your sticker onto some coordinating card stock. Use a belt buckle die cut to attach to your matted piece, thread through some sheer ribbon, add some bling and mat this piece up!
Like I said - super dooper easy! And fun! I felt like I conquered the world making 4 cards in less than an hour!! Ok, maybe I am exaggerating, but you get my drift!!!

Have a fabulous Wednesday!
