This Tuesday we have Carisa in the spotlight an boy does she make some gorgeous cards!
This is the card she made for us
Here she has used Luv A Latte
*Start by telling us a little about you:
I married my high school sweetheart 10 yrs ago and right now I am a stay at home mom to 3 amazing kiddos. My oldest is in kindergarten, my 2nd is 4 and my youngest is 1 yr. They definately keep me busy but I somehow manage to find time to stamp and color in between! Besides stamping, I love to read any chance I can - mostly fiction. We live in Colorado right now, but I grew up in Florida. In fact, I'd never lived anywhere else till I moved out to Texas when I was 18 to live with my boyfriend now hubby!
*When did you start card making and what made you start?
I started about 2 yrs ago. I went to a LSS that was having a Stamping Bella release party with make n takes. I met Angela who introduced me to Copics, bought my first pair E00, E21 and really the addiction hasn't ended! When I found out you could COLOR stamped images, well, I knew it was going to be a life long relationship! I had always loved coloring as a kid, had tons and tons of coloring books and those big boxes of crayola's with every color imaginable. After that, I realzied that stamping and card making made me HAPPY! I love sitting down with a black and white image and seeing it come to life with color. It's like magic and it's good for the soul!
*What is your preferred coloring medium?
Definitely, hands down, COPICS!!! I love that these markers make anyone look like a coloring genius!!! It's like the adult version of my Crayola's as a kid. :D
*What is your fav Simply Sassy stamp?
That is an impossible question to answer! I honestly love them all. I really adore Luv A Latte because I'm a serious coffee drinker!! The card I made for today's post is my FAVORITE! But I really can't wait to get my hands on new favorites like Bad Hare Day, Windswept & Hippie Love!
*How did you notice the Simply Sassy stamps the first time?
I do believe I blame, or, credit my Make It Colourful DT sistah Tracy for this new obsession!!! When I saw them on her blog I just HAD to have them and I think I bought my first Simply Sassy stamps that day or the next.
*What is your favourite style (card making)?
This is a question I do NOT know how to answer! I think I am starting to find my own style now after 2 yrs of experimenting and something I have admitted recently is that I am one chick that is ridiculously addicted to pretty pattern papers! I love picking out my paper and coloring an image to match! One thing that I am seeing a lot on my cards is distressing - I love tearing the edges of my paper and inking them to add texture to my card.
*And what would you love to see more of at the Simply Sassy blog?
I actually love that you have an inspiration only blog! It's awesome to come each day and see a new DT member sharing a Simply Sassy stamp. I also love that you spotlight your fans - it's the ultimate compliment!
It was so much fun digging into Carisa's blog to show off some gorgeous Sassy cards!!
