Bittersweet - NEVER!
February 23rd, 2009
The last VSN Challenge that I got to participate in yesterday over at Splitcoast was called Bittersweet. The idea was to take a stamp set (or product) that you weren’t sure about and roll with it. Give it some love. Well, I’ve never been bittersweet about Crafty Secrets and these Vintage Stickers are no exception.
But, I just never felt like I could do anything great with them. I always got really uptight about the whites matching or the creams matching….the answer? … Kraft Cardstock, friends.
Guess who is going to be ordering more of these sweet Vintage Stickers from Crafty Secrets?
I’m feeling so much better! And, without the challenge, who knows how much longer I would have waited to work with these gems?! So, step out of your comfort zone - try something new - you’ll ‘feel better soon’. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.
- Stamps: Feeling Yucky (Crafty Secrets)
- Cardstock: Kraft Cardstock (Prism) and patterened paper from my fave October Afternoon

These are so sweet. My supply of get well cards is down to nil. I better get busy and make some more, but I think I need to order this set first. TFS!

[…] A while back, I used some of my Vintage Stickers from Crafty Secrets to make a short series of get well quick cards. I love how they paired with Kraft card stock for a sweet salutation. Last weekend, I used the Vintage Cuts to make another 8 quick cards focusing on girlfriends and general happliness. With quick witted sayings and darling vintage art, I’m happy to send these out for a quick hello. My favorite sentiment set to go with these quick cuts is Card Sentiments from Crafty Secrets. Hopefully by mass producing…I’ll actually send them. :) (short supply at the bottom) […]
