Happy Birthday

Happy Monday! Amber here with your Sweet 'n Sassy post for the day. This is also my last post as part of the Sweet 'n Sassy Design Team as my term is up! I can't believe the time has gone that fast. But that is what happens when you are having fun creating.

I'm here today with a sweet card using Bethany's Birthday Wish. Colored the image with copics and added Crystal Effects to the balloons.

Have a great stamping Monday!

A Little Flower Basket

Happy Tuesday... The weeks are flying by for March. I am excited for spring to come, and enjoy using these cute spring images.

Today I choose to work with Bethany Picking Flowers Digital image.



I also went for a Clean and Simple card today. As the weeks fly by, it seems my crafting time gets less. But CAS works pretty well. I colored Bethany with my copics, adding some pink to her belly too.

I drew the colors from the fun polka dot papers from My Minds Eye, and a solid cardstock. The button is from American Crafts. I did some stitching up the side of the patterned paper, and embossed my circle just to add a little bit of dimension and texture to the CAS card.

I hope you enjoyed my card. Enjoy your day!!

Flowers for Bethany

Happy Tuesday Sweet N Sassy fans!! I am Katie Skiff, one of the March Guest Designers and I am honored to be playing with the newest SNSS images!!

Today I choose one of the newest Bethany images called Holding Flower Bethany.

I colored my image with Copic Markers, just shading Bethany keeping her pretty and white. I found some of my favorite Basic Grey paper, from the Koshi line, and drew my colors from there. I added a fun ruffle ribbon Pink Paislee along the bottom, and topped it off with some pretty satin ribbon and bow. I die cut the clouds out of felt, to add a little bit of a sky for Bethany.

I don't know about you, but in Montana...we are more than ready for some spring flowers!!

Thanks for stopping by the SNSS blog today. I'll be back each Tuesday in March to share with you some of my creations.

Bethany Goes Pink

I sat down to color this darling Reading Bethany digi image, and my daughter asked me why she couldn't be pink. I didn't have a good reason, so I figured, "Why not?" It was a dreary, rainy day, and what better way to bring in the sunshine and joy than with some pretty springtime colors?

The card sketch itself is very simple. I wanted all of the focus to be on sweet Bethany. She's colored with Copics (see supply list below), and I printed out a digi sentiment to go with her. It's hard to tell in the picture, but her nose and the wing of the bird are outlined with a Spica glitter pen (pink for her nose, green for the bird's wing). A bit of bling (all pink bunnies need bling, my daughter also informed me) and some pink crocheted trim completed this sweet springtime card!

Have a wonderful day, and thanks for stopping by!

Customer spotlight Sunday

Happy Lord's day Sunday! Today Danni Bindel brings us a very sweet Bethany Bunny card. This card reminds of spring with the butterfly, flowers and the cheerful colors she used. Danni used the Bethany Sending Hugs digi for her card. This cutie will also be available as a clear stamp set on Tuesday March 1.

Danni, thank you for letting us share your beautiful Bethany card today!

Friends are Flowers

Happy Friday bloggers! Raise your hand if you're ready for the weekend!! I know I am and I'm looking forward to a having a little crafting time. If you have some extra time to create this weekend, why not start by making cards that feature Sweet 'n Sassy digi images! This little sweet bunny, named Bethany, is currently available for download. And...I'll let you in on a little secret...on March 1st, you just might be able to have Bethany as part of a stamp set. But don't let anyone know that I told you, it will be our little secret. **wink**

And how about that darling paper peeking out from the behind Bethany? Did you know that SNSS is now offering Echo Park paper pads! Yippee! The paper featured on today's card is from the Echo Park, For the Record line. I used four small pieces from the line to create my background.

Oh, and I almost forgot! I watercolored my image on this card and I've forgotten just how much I enjoy watercoloring. It's quick and easy and I love the finished look, perfect for a "please let Spring come soon" card!

Enjoy today's card and your weekend!

Wishing you many Blessings

Hello Everyone!  I hope you're all doing well.  I am getting over a cold and now seasonal allergies are setting in.  Winter, as I hear it, is over here in Florida.  I guess I still have more acclimating to do.  I am hoping this sweet little card in it's very Spring-y colors will help me towards that acclimation and maybe bring some warmth to your neck of the woods.

I found this really great card on the Scor-Pal project site and just had to give it a try.  This is called a half-window card and was really easy to do.  I actually did this on the first try, which I think was dumb-luck.  Haha!

Recently, Korin introduced us to a sweet little bunny named Bethany.  Here's one of them called Bethany Picking Flowers - she's part of an absolutely adorable collection that is perfect for Spring and Easter greetings.

So as I said, this is a half window card and it was super easy to do.  All you need is a scoring tool, I have a Scor Pal and a circle cutting system, I used Coluzzle.  You score the card stock in half for a standard sized card and then score again the front panel in half.  Now I didn't score the entire front panel.  I only scored a little at the top and a little at the bottom.  Placed my Coluzzle template so that it was between the score marks and only cut the circle on the right side of the template.  Then finished the card.

Open it and reveal a message that you stamp behind the focal image.  Easy!  The sentiment is from Benjamin Bunny stamp set.  Pretty spring colors and a sweet sentiment is just what any friend would love to receive.

I hope you enjoyed my card today.  Don't forget the great sale going on in the SNSS store.  Have a super day!

Many Hugs & Blessings,
Melissa

Bethany Sends Her Love

Isn't Bethany adorable?

I just love this new image by Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.

I colored her with copics and airbrushed the background to give the appearance of clouds. DP is Memory Box Pixie. I added a ribbon and flower for embellies.

Thanks for stopping by and check out all the new goodies at Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.

Sweet Bethany Bunny

Happy Tuesday all you sweet and sassy stampers.  I hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day.  Today I've popped in to share an adorable digital stamp called Bethany Bunny.  Isn't she just so sweet??

You may have already seen that a couple new Bethany Bunny images were included in Sweet and Sassy Stamps' latest release.  I used this week's sketch from The Sweet Stop .  I jiggled it up a bit, but that's where my layout came from.  I colored this in copics and used a few prismacolor pencils and OMS for more detail.  I added a bit of diamond stickles to the flowers and little butterfly. 

Hope you enjoy!!  Have a wonderful day!
