Snow Much Coffee Goodness

Hi Sweet 'n Sassy friends! It's Julee popping in to share a couple little creations I've been working on lately.  It's no secret that I love coffee, so I can never resist making a few cards for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hops. The Fall/Winter hop started yesterday and I shared another coffee card on our Super Sponsor post. Here are a couple others I created dressing up the big to go cup from the Fill Me Up set.

For this first card, I paired the brand new Snow Much Fun set with the cup for a fun wintry feel. This little snow friend is so jolly, I couldn't resist having him skating on top of the cup. I created a fun background by randomly stamping the snowflakes from the set in distress oxides and then blending with distress inks. A few snowflakes and some ribbon and jingle bells finish things off.

My second card for today, brings a fall spin to the cup, using the Fur-ever Friends set to add leaves and color with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.  I created a sweet little gift card pocket and added a vellum sentiment from the Donut Worry set for the perfect little gifty for a coffee loving friend.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to pop over to the website to see the entire NEW release, plus take advantage of the 12% sitewide savings for our 12th birthday month!

Autumn Greetings

Hello! It is Gloria with you today. Autumn is my favorite season. I love the colors, smells, and textures of autumn. I have a created a quick and easy card for you today, to celebrate the season!

Sometimes, all that you need to create a card is paper and a few sentiment stamps! Once I created the card, I used black ink to stamp a sentiment from the Autumn Mum Greetings stamp set onto the bottom right corner of the patterned paper.

I cut a small tag from a scrap of cardstock with the Mini Tags Die Set.  I stamped a tiny sentiment from the Autumn Bounty stamp set onto the tag.

I lined the inside of the card with more patterned paper and stamped another sentiment from the Autumn Mum Greetings stamp set onto the center of the patterned paper. I cut a second tag from a scrap of cardstock with the Mini Tags Die Set.  I stamped another tiny sentiment from the Autumn Bounty stamp set onto the tag.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello my friends! Happy Saturday to all of you, the weather is finally changing, over here in the Pacific Northwest we are having cool mornings and evenings and leaves are changing colors, my favorite kind of weather and season :). So this is the perfect time to start thinking about "Thanksgiving". This is one of my favorite holidays, in Peru we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, so in all my years living in the USA, this holiday is very especial for me.

For my card I used the "Autumn Bounty Set", colored the image with Touch Twin Markers. I paper pieced the poinsettia and added little bits of Star Dust Stickles.

Hope you like it.
Have a fantastic day!

Hello....and Happy Labor Day!  Hope you are having a wonderful labor free weekend.  Labor free means more time for stamping...right?  Here at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, we are gearing up for my favorite season...Autumn!  Love the crisp weather, the changing leaves, and the beautiful, warm colors.    So my card for today reflects the things I love about fall!

This beautiful fall bouquet comes from the Autumn Bounty clear stamp set and was colored with Copic Markers.  The papers are from the Bo Bunny Ambrosia Collection and were mounted on Orange Zest and Kraft card stock.  A little stitching, some pretty ribbon, and pearls colored to match, finish the card.

Wishing You a Season of .........

Happy Saturday everyone!  This will be my last time to post here as my time of being on the Sweet 'n Sassy Design Team is coming to a close at the end of October.  Boy - that 6 months time really passed by quickly!   I have enjoyed working with the rest of the Design team and Korin's lovely stamps.  I hope you have been inspired by my creations during my tenure here!

So, on with my card for today!  We are rapidly moving towards the season of Thanks so I created a fall color Thanksgiving card to share.  I love these 3 sentiments - they pretty much sum up all the things we have to be thankful for!

I used stamps from two Sweet 'n Sassy sets for my card - the tree is from Forest Silhouettes and the sentiments are from Autumn Bounty. I used this week's Split Coast Stampers sketch for my card.

First I stamped the images on a piece of patterned paper and then embossed it. Then I adhered all of the panels of patterned paper to the kraft card base and embossed that.  (Embossing actually shortened my card by 1/2" (!) so I had to cut a piece off of the back of the card.)  I tied the wrinkled seam tape around the card and then adhered the stamped panel over it with foam tape.  To accent the sentiment I added some tiny twinkles between the words and called it done!

I hope you have a wonderful fall weekend and thank you for spending some of your creative time stopping by here today!

Happy Stamping!

Having a Blast!

Happy Monday to you, friends!  I hope you all had a fabulous weekend.  I had the wonderful experience of doing some make-and-takes at Heirloom's York Rubber Stamp & Paper Arts Festival with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps this weekend.  It was so much fun meeting and talking with people who enjoy this wonderful craft...I am convinced that stampers are some of the nicest people you will ever meet! Working with Korin and her family was a blast!

Speaking of having a blast...over at The Sweet Stop, we are celebrating a "Blast  From the Past" for the month of October by revisiting some of the fabulous sketches from the past. I used this week's sketch for my card today. 

I just love the rich, earthy colors of fall and this gorgeous bouquet from the "Autumn Bounty" clear stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  Mix those two elements with some beautiful paper from the "Forever Fall Collection" paper pad by Bo Bunny and you have a winning combination...don't you think! The fall bouquet was colored with copic markers.  The doily was cut from some of the Bo Bunny paper with the Cheery Lynn English Tea Party Die which is now carried by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. The little leaves in the corner were cut with a Spellbinders foliage die.  All the layers were heavily sponged with Walnut Stain distress ink.  Add some ribbon and pearls colored with a copic marker and the result is a rich autumn bounty!

Thanks for visiting with us today...hope you have a chance to get out and enjoy autumn wherever you happen to be!

Hugs,

Cathy

Back To School With Autumn Bounty Blessings

Happy Thursday and the 1st day of September. This year will be over before we know it. Where does the time fly to? Oh well as the old saying goes "time marches on" and so it does.  Here we are at the front door of Fall already and my grandchildren must be skipping Thanksgiving because they are already telling me what they want for Christmas. LOL. Kids are so precious, no matter what the age.
For this card today I stamped the focal image on white cs then colored with copics and matted on pumpkin pie on the inside panel. The base is white with a frame embossed then I cut the inside section out for a window card.  I stamped the sentiment in pumpkin pie.  I love that saying.
This is also for today's Splitcoast Stampers WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 338 - Paint where we were to use paint (including stickles). I added stickles to the flower centers.
I hope you have a fabulous day and upcoming Labor Day holiday. If you are traveling use caution and arrive alive where you are going and getting back home as well.
RECIPE:
Stamps: Autumn Bounty - SNSS
Paper: white, pumpkin pie
Ink: Momento Tuxedo black, pumpkin pie
Accessories: stickles, copics, dimensionals. the Paper Studio Whimsy Frame
