Gettin' sweet...and weird!

Weird Love
Hey!

Happy Tuesday! It's a particularly 'sweet' Tuesday here on the blogeroo as I'm hopping on board this month as a guest designer for Sweet Stamp Shop!

Today is release day and three super sets have been released. I was sent two of them to play with: Eye Love and Weird Love.

The card above features some weird love. Never thought I'd type/say that here....ha! But fear not, this is no weird set, but a sweet (what else?) mini-set featuring a lovely sentiment that pretty much sums up how I feel about my fiance and I: we're both a little weird...and I can't quite believe our luck that we found each other and fit together so perfectly (altogether now: awwwww!) The heart is stamped from the set 'Eye Love' and is covered in a good dollop of Glossy Accents.

So enough weird love, how about some eye love? Yup, the name kinda sums up the set: love with a focus on some items you may just find at the opticitans. However I went for something a little more....geeky! :)

Ion U

The set has this oval shape and as soon as I saw it I thought 'atom'! Then I got thinking 'ion'! And this led to the pun 'ion U' as in, 'I've got my eye on you...' I just stamped and rotated the oval to create the atom shape, adding red dots with a marker and stamping the 'U' from the set in the centre.

Now as I understand it, an atom can be an ion, but not all ions are atoms. I didn't have time to hit the science textbooks to research it! So my escape from any geek design faux pas I may have unintentionally created, was to stamp the inside with another sentiment from the same stamp set.

genius

Now if you subscribe to this being a mini card with an atom, it'll read U....genius. And if you subscribe to it being an ion then the card will read 'ion U...genius'! It's win/win in my book! :)

That's all from me today! I'll be back later on in the month with a couple more projects to share featuring these sets, but for now be sure pop across to the Sweet Stamp Shop blog for more inspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping by here today! Wishing you all a 'sweet' Tuesday!

Well, that's weird! I typed a post and it disappeared. Sigh. I will try to repeat my first post: I love your weirdness and all of your creations. Superb job. Where did you get the chevron paper? I love it. It adds so much to your design. My email is: auntkit@comcast.net if you feel like sharing where you got it. Have an awesome day!

Fabulous!!!!

Taheerah said...

Love both of these so much Aimes! That sentiment stamp is probably going to end up living with me! But the second one - you know how this speaks to my geeky heart!!

You are indeed correct about atoms and ions - all atoms can be ions but not all ions are atoms. What you've stamped looks to be an ion to me - as if not there would only be two red dots circling. If you really want I can give you the scientific explanation, lol! But I think I'll just praise how awesome it looks instead! ;D

I love your cards! They both make me smile :)
