foodie fun {CSS new release}

It's new release day over at Clear and Simple Stamps!  I am so excited that we get to showcase my favorite sets first - the foodie fun series features all of my favorite junk foods and lovey phrases, some fun dies, and a very gorgeous apron...

I'm featuring foodie fun and foodie fun sentiments in my projects today (along with a whimsical little frame that you'll be introduced to later on in the week):

Nothing goes together like burgers and fries, right?  I was crafting with my 8 year old daughter, Sofia, and she saw the "bff" sentiment (from a new rag doll set!) and said "mom, I think the burger and fries are BFFs."  It's a big word in our home lately - everyone is Sofia's bff, but I thought it was such a cute idea, so I went with it.  The card is obviously hers now, and the biggest question is which one of her pint-sized bffs will be on the receiving end this week :)

A speedy how-to:  I masked the burger, then stamped the fries, then masked that too for a little sunburst action over-top.  It looks like fast-food on a card, with that bright red case base and yellow stripes. so fun.

My next card cools down the temperature a bit.  From a hot red to a cool argyle blue background, and from steamy burgers to a frozen treat...

This card is a smaller and cuter - at 3.5x5 inches...the perfect little notecard size.  I love the tall, skinny font of the "i love you more than" paired with the script "ice cream" - and with a glossy cherry on top, it's just adorable.

the tiny heart at the bottom doesn't hurt either.

My next card goes taller and skinnier:

The set has all kinds of fun combinations - I didn't use up half of them here.  We go together like...

burgers & fries...

mustard & pretzels (although, I'm not a mustard fan, truth be told... why mess up a perfectly good, buttery soft pretzel with mustard?  nuh-uh.  but it sure looks cute on the card.)

and pancakes & syrup.

I'll take one of each, please.... hee.  I hope you like what I've created today!
