Hi friends! I'm sharing a couple cards today using the Sweet Street collection by Tina Smith for Spellbinders. There are some really cute die sets in this collection, and I happen to have a pretty big sweet tooth, so they are right up my alley.
I kept this first card quite simple. It features The Cookie Corner die set. You can create several different types of cookies using this set, but I really loved this shortbread cookie style with the embossed detail. I cut six of them from cream cardstock, and then used a blending brush to add a bit of Dark Chocolate ink to them.
Originally I was going to place them in a grid, but when I was moving things around while working on the card, they ended up in a bit of a pile, and I liked the look, so I just went with it.
I used a couple of neutral patterned papers to complement the soft warm tones of the cookies. The sentiment is from an older Close to My Heart set in my stash.
My next card has a much more bold graphic look, and features The Sweet Shoppe die set. I decided to use predominately neutrals with some splashes of red for this card.
It was really fun to create all the little desserts, and sticking with a limited color palette really made the process easier.
To add a bit more graphic punch, I used a black and white diagonal stripe mat. I also popped up the awning with foam tape for some dimension.
The sentiment is from an older My Favorite Things set.
