Hi creative friends, What a busy week we've had here at Shabby Art Boutique.... this is my 5th blog post this week! Recently, there was some conversation in our Simply Shabbilicious Facebook group about printable sentiments for card making. I could see that having a printable sheet of sentiments on hand could be very useful to card makers and paper crafters.... so this is my first offering. I actually used the printable sheet today for a gift box I decorated. Download the Sentiments Printable This is a one page printable PDF that you can cut up

The other day I was browsing tinternet when I saw a sentiment stamp set that I really liked the look of. However, the sentiments themselves were not what I thought I would have much cause or need to use, so I thought I would try to make some in a similar vein but with themes to suit ME! With thanks to Hannelie for helping me sort these out! For our friends across the pond... we DO have 2 ells in marvellous! I am hoping that these are in a format that you will be able to use should you wish to. I'm sure someone will inform me if they are not. I rattled off a few cards to illustrate them and here they are! For these last two I inked and spritzed the inside of embossing folders with Distress Ink before running the card through the machine. I think it makes quite an interesting effect. Both folders are from Sizzix. The sunny one is for the challenge at Addicted to CAS The sentiments are cut with either Die-namics Pierced stax or Lil Inkers Stitched ovals.
