DETAILS
This month kit features, among other things, a book of clear stickers by Amy Tangerine. I was never a fan of clear stickers (just something about them doesn’t appeal to me), but I loved the designs in this particular sticker book so I used a trick for my cards – I adhered my stickers onto white cardstock and next cut them out with my scissors. This gave me sturdy cardstock embellishments for my cards!
I paired stickers with the patterned papers from my kit and some minimal stamping. I also used foam adhesive from my kit to pop things up and also sequins to embellish my cards. I even layered some of the stickers to create new ones – the “sunshine” sticker was adhered onto a light pink banner to make a word banner.
I stamped “You’re One In A Melon” sentiment for my second card and added several watermelon stickers-embellishments along with a few sequins. I also used foam adhesive here to pop things up on my card and make it dimensional.

This is so cute Yana, a great way to cover up a ‘mistake OR a change of plan’. Very nicelt done.
I am in total agreement with you Yana; I don’t like stickers and I definitely don’t like stickers on my cards BUT you have shown me a way that I can use a sticker if I find one I like. Thank you for demonstrating this TOPTIP. :O)
Love that you made cards with the stickers. I never use stickers and have been struggling with them because I just don’t like stickers but you made cards that I adore with them! I am curious what you used as a backdrop for your photos. That gray concrete looking background makes the colors pop so much!
Hey Ashley!
Thank you!
The background is something I painted the other day. I used a piece of dry wall and some old paints in gray and white, a sponge (like one to wash dishes) and just dabbed away! I posted some photos on my instagram story the other day, it’s featured in the highlights in my profile under “Photography” – https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17864578648258714/
Oh wow that’s awesome! Thanks for responding
Cute cards Yana–I’m just waiting for my kit to arrive.
Fabulous cards! I love the bird card with the patterned-paper panel popped up. 🙂
Awesome cards, love this kit. I hate stickers on cards also, great video and tips as always. Thanks
Beautiful cards 🙂 I have a lot of stickers but somehow don’t use them on cards.. Guess I should start giving it a try 🙂
