A Mother's Love by Charmaine Canham

 I am so very excited to be on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps blog for the very first time as a fellow design team member. I hope to share some of my love of creating with you on a more frequent basis. If you have any questions, leave me a comment and let me know how I can help!

 With Mother's Day fast approaching, this Sweet 'n Sassy Stamp, A Mother's Love, is just perfect for this card I envisioned. This stamp is versatile and can be used for birthdays, baby showers, or an "I love you, Mom" card.

I love silhouette-type images, and the mom and baby stamp just spoke to me. I created the card using a nested die set that I have had forever and white and black scraps of cardstock in my stash. If you don't have this specific nested die, use any other shape like an oval or stitched rectangles.

The main image was stamped with Altenew Obsidian Black ink and clear embossed with Ranger Clear embossing powder. Remember to use your embossing buddy before embossing anything.   Use the smallest die and cut the image. 

Cut a piece of white heavy cardstock with a larger die from the set. Since I know that I want the sentiment and some of the card to match, I "colored" this cardstock that will go right under the mom and baby. Use Versamark Watermark stamp pad or any clear "tacky" ink that will stay wet longer and stamp/apply to the cardstock. Heat emboss this piece with WOW Metallic Copper Super Fine embossing powder. Wait for it to cool down before placing double-sided foam tape above and under the cardstock. Adhere the mom and baby to the top.

The sentiment was heat embossed with the same WOW embossing powder and placed on a banner die from SSS, or was it MFT? Place this on double-sided foam tape as well. 

The black background was made by using a pierced cover plate with detailed stitching for a sophisticated look. Place all of this on a top folding A2-sized card and you are done. This card can easily be modified with a pink or blue hue instead of the classic white and black look. 

I hope you liked today's card and find more pretty stamps over at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.

See you soon!

a mother's love

Hello! Sweet ‘n Sassy has just released some great new sets for May...be sure to check them out! Before I share any of the new stamps, though, I have two Mother's Day cards using a stamp set from the April Release. Here I used A Mother's Love. This set has wonderful silhouettes and on the first card, I heat embossed the image and sentiment.

For my second card, I masked and sponged the oval background. Then I stamped the silhouette and sentiment for a CAS card.

Have a great day!

No Love Like Mom's

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps friends!  It's beginning to feel more like spring and that means that Mother's Day is on the way...in fact it's three weeks away!  The A Mother's Love stamp set released this month is great for creating the perfect card for mom.  I have two cards to share using this wonderful stamp set...love the silhouette images and the wonderful sentiments included in this set.

For my first card, the flowers from the Whimsy Bouquet Stamp Set were stamped around a circle aperture cut from a piece on Neenah Card Stock.  This was done by rotating the panel in my Misti.  After the flowers were colored with Copic Markers, the panel was placed back in the Misti and the flowers stamped again to obtain a dark, crisp line.  The silhouette image was stamped through the frame and the sentiment added on a die cut banner.

The background on this second card was created by sponging Worn Lipstick, Bundled Sage, and Squeezed Lemonade Oxide Inks through a stencil.  Black splatters were added.  Strips of black card stock were added to the bottom of another panel to create the striped pattern.  The silhouette image from the A Mother's Love Stamp Set was stamped and the panel cut with a stitched oval die.  Stitching and the sentiment strip were added to finish the card!

The two stamps sets used for these cards can be found at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

I Hope you've been inspired to create a card for mom!

Hugs,

Cathy

A Mother's Love

{jane bosi}  Happy Friday, Sweet Friends!!  It's a very special Friday in my world since today is my momma's birthday!  That makes it the perfect day to share a series of cards that celebrate A Mother's Love; and feature the new Sweet and Sassy Stamp set by the same name!  I love this set, the sentiments and silhouette images.  All so sweet!

I created a series of backgrounds using  my Gelliarts gelli plate.  Friends, this a seriously addicting tool!  It's so much fun to combine colors, textures and whatever else you can think of.  Each pressing is unique.  It's kind of like opening a gift each time; you never know what you are going to get!

This final card also features a resist panel and the Whimsy Bouquet set. I added extra color to the panel using distress oxide inks.  A few sparkly blings and......done!  Sweet and simple!

Have a great day!  Jane

Happy Mother's Day!

Hi Sweet Friends!

Julie here, and today I am sharing a card designed with the new  A Mother’s Love Clear Stamp Set from the SNSS April Release and the previously released stamp set, Grunge Elements 2.

With Mother’s Day only a few weeks away, A Mother’s Love Clear Stamp Set is perfect for quick and easy cards as well as more layered cards not to mention, new Mother cards or overall general encouragement.

This is an easy card to create- ink the images from A Mother’s Love  using archival black ink, emboss with clear embossing powder and add the heart image from Grunge Elements 2 with violet distress oxide ink.  Layer the panels, add the crystal drops and satin bow along with a few rhinestones to finish off the card.

Also, don't forget that you can receive the Rose Banner Clear Stamp set as the April Stamp of the Month free with a $75 (US$) net after all discounts.  

 

Thanks again for taking the time to visit! I hope all of you have a wonderful week, sweet friends!

A Mother's Love and Rose Banner

Hi friends, It's been awhile since I posted and it's good to be back! Today I have a couple cards I am sharing with you the first using a new release set called A Mother's Love, just in time for all your Mother's Day cards.  I love Silhouette Stamps because they make for quick and easy card.  I stamped the image with Versafine ink and then used embossing powder.  The paper is from DCWV.

 My second card is using Rose Banner which is free if you spend $75 during the month of April.  I've stamped with Versamark ink and used White embossing powder, then I used 3 different colors of Distress Oxide ink to make the background and then stamped the sentiment in black ink and used clear embossing powder.   Make sure you stop by the store or scroll on the blog to see the other new release sets this month!
