Dahlia Birthday

Hi friends! It's Julee popping in with a fun birthday card featuring the gorgeous new Dazzling Dahlia set. Have you seen this huge, beautiful flower?  I started this card during a fun little informal team virtual meeting, stamping the big dahlia in black, then watercoloing with Zig clean color real brush markers. When I was done with that, I flicked on some dylusions white linen spray, then fussy cut the flower.

Next I stamped the leaf and colored with Copics and fussy cut.  I layered this behind the flower and adhered with foam tape to the card base, adding some fun flicks with black and purple inks

The sentiment is from the Birthday Word Art set that recently came out of the vault. I just love these big sentiments! I embossed the hooray it's your birthday in white on black cardstock, then added white flicks to finish things off.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulously creative day.

happy belated birthday

Hello Everyone!!  My name is Sheri Gilson and I'm super excited to be here with my first post as the March/April Guest Designer.  Thank you so much Korin for the invitation!!

Today's card is one that I tend to struggle with.....MASCULINE cards.  I may also be known for not getting my cards out on time so I immediately had to have the Birthday Word Art stamp set.  It has a mix of wonderful birthday greetings.  I like to use a monochromatic color design and keep my embellishing minimal when creating masculine cards.  I stamped the sentiment and also created the layer under it by stamping the numbers directly onto the pattern paper.

and here's a peek at the inside...

2014 Year in Review - Day 15: Birthday Word Art

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy friends! We're continuing our 2014 Year in Review with a fabulous birthday set.

Today's feature is:

Birthday Word Art

This wonderful set of large birthday greetings was designed by Gloria Stengel.  The strip of numbers is perfect for pointing out the age of the recipient, counting down until the big day, or for creating a background for your card.  Jessica and Diane have two new cards to share with you using the Birthday Word Art stamp set.

Jessica is using the strip of numbers to count birthday wishes.  How cute is that little paper pieced spider from the Buggin' Ya stamp set hanging down from the number 9!   I don't like spiders, but this one makes me smile!

Diane used Happy Place flowers embossed on colorful strips of card stock to send best wishes to a friend.  This card could be used for any number of occasions!

Here are a few more Design Team cards using Birthday Word Art 

created in 2014:

This card was created by the designer of this stamp set, Gloria Stengel.  Using the vintage truck from the Timeless Classic stamp set and one of the large sentiments from Birthday Word Art makes this card perfectly masculine. 

Bridget used the same sentiment from Birthday Word Art as Gloria, but her beautiful watercolored background in a vivid pink color makes her birthday card very feminine.

Birthday Word Art coordinates perfectly with so many other Sweet 'n Sassy stamp sets.  Monika is an expert at bringing different elements and colors together to create gorgeous cards.  The Majestic Monarch embossed on vellum and cut with the matching Monarch Dies sitting on the cupcake from Birthday Bash is just beautiful.  The row of numbers tucked beside the Scallop Border brings balance to her card.  

The number strip from Birthday Word Art was stamped in white on black card stock to create the background for Lee Ann's striking card.  Elements from Keep in Touch, Keep in Touch Dies, Shape  Dies, and the What's Up?, and Arrow Dies featured earlier this month were added to the fishtail banner to draw attention to the sentiment.  

Very clever!

Diane is a master at creating glorious 3D projects!  This lovely cookie gift box featuring one of the large sentiments from the Birthday Word Art stamp set is sure to light up the face of the recipient.  Other Sweet 'n Sassy stamp sets and dies used to create her yummy box include Majestic Monarchs, Monarch Dies, Long Stem Silhouettes, and Long Stem Silhouettes Dies.

Only one more day remaining in Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps 2014 Year in Review count down…we finish on Christmas Day with a wonderful Christmas stamp set.  We hope you've been enjoying all of our reviews and have been inspired by the cards and projects posted.  It's not too late to grab our featured sets at 25% off the retail price…our featured products SALE ends on the last day of 2014, December 31st!

Birthday Wishes

Good Morning, good morning!  Jacquie here to share with you today!  Today I have an Autumn birthday creation for you!  The Autumn Mum Greetings clear stamp set is one of my FAVORITES, especially for this time of year, it is PERFECT!

So, I layered some kraft CS onto my chocolate CS and away we went!  I stamped my mums and added a partial sentiment from the Birthday Word Art clear stamp set.  Then I finished my card off with a LOVELY Birthday die cut and some various sequins/gems.

The Birthday die is just a SNEAK at what is coming your way this Friday!!  We are SO excited to share our NEW release, so be sure to join us for our November Release blog hop!

Oh.......and don't forget about our November Sweet Perks Club!  There are some really SWEET bundles available!  You won't want to miss out!

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing with me today!  Have a WONDERFUL day!

You're How Old?

Hello! It is Gloria with you today. We are celebrating the 7th year birthday of  Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, so make sure to take advantage of our our Sweet Perks Club bundles this month! Also, club members may take advantage of our Birthday Bundle Blitz through Sunday, November 9th!

I have created a masculine birthday card to share today. I think that most card makers struggle with this type of birthday card, so I like to share one now and again!

I used the Timeless Classic stamp set to stamp the truck. I colored the image with Copic markers. 

The sentiments are from a set I designed, called Birthday Word Art. 

I want to wish Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 

Gloria

It's Your Day...........

Good Morning Friends!!  How are you?  Jacquie here, to share with you!

I have found that I am all about the simple creations these days.  I just LOVE the way they look!  So, I have a lot of pre-made card bases and even a lot of FIRST layers ready to go.  That being said, this card is right up my alley.  Hope you like it, as much as I do!

I used my green polka dotted base and layered a piece of GP white cardstock on top of it.  Then I used the SNSS GRUNGE ELEMENTS clear stamp set, to make my paint swatches.  I stamped my sentiment, from the SNSS BIRTHDAY WORD ART clear stamp set, and used my SNSS STAR DIE SET to cut out some matching stars.  I finished my project off with a clear Wink of Stella brush marker on the top star, Orchid twine,  and some pearls/rhinestones.  Easy Peasy!

Thanks for stopping by and have a WONDERFUL day!

Sea Shells.........

Hello Friends! How are you this HAPPY Thursday?! Jacquie here to share another simple, sequined creation. I used our NEW August Release dies! I LOVE how easy they make things! Check it out!

I used the SNSS Beauty By The Sea Clear Stamp Set, the SNSS Beauty By The Sea Dies, and the SNSS Birthday Word Art Clear Stamp Set! I love how these sea shells can be used for ANY type of occasion!  Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful day!

birthday cookie

Hello friends!  Today I have a little treat box to share.  I made a Mini Pizza Box to hold a birthday cookie.  (Because who doesn't love a chocolate chip cookie??)

After cutting and scoring the box, I added the patterned paper (which is very sparkly) to the top.  Then I die cut a window and added a die cut frame.  The inside of the window was lined with a piece of clear acetate.  Then the box was adhered together.  A half circle was punched on the front of the lid to ease in opening the box.

Finally, I used some Sweet 'n Sassy stamps to decorate my box.  The flower and matching die is from Long Stem Silhouettes, the butterflies and coordinating dies are from Majestic Monarchs, and the sentiment is from Birthday Word Art.  Some clear Wink Of Stella was applied to the butterflies and flowers for some added sparkle which unfortunately doesn't show up in the photo.

Here's a photo of the box open.

What a cute little way to wish someone a happy day, don't you think?

♥ Diane

God Made You Special

Good Morning, Sweet 'n Sassy friends! It's Gloria with you today, with my first post as part of the SNSS design team! I am so excited to be here!

I have created a 5 x 5 inch friendship card to share with you. I used the NEW Birthday Word Art stamp set for my focal sentiment (and not to toot my own horn, but I designed the set and I am like a proud mama). I used the sweet One of a Kind set for the main image.

I colored my birdies with alcohol markers. I also colored in the word "special" on the sentiment. Everything is coordinated with pinks and blues, with that glorious pop of green!

I used a sentiment from the One of a Kind set for the inside of the card. I always decorate the inside!

Thanks for joining me today. Please drop by my blog, Scraps of Life and visit!

You Are Special

Hello Friends!

Today I am sharing a Clean and Simple card with you using the Birthday Word Art set.  I started out with white card stock and a Tim Holtz heart stencil. I sponged the rows of hearts in 4 different colors, sewed on some velum and added the "You are special" sentiment from the Birthday Word Art Set. 

For Your Wedding

Good Morning Friends!  Jacquie here on this rainy morning to share with you!  I created the card below for my step son.  He just got married last weekend and their colors were eggplant and black.  So, I got out my SU Eggplant ink and my Versafine Black ink out.  Then, I thought the Thankful Blooms clear stamp set and coordinating Thankful Blooms die set would be perfect!  Now, of course I couldn't really, THANK them for getting married?  Haha!  So, I used the, "Just For You", stamp from the Birthday Art clear stamp set!  Ahhh.....I love it when you can utilize your stamp sets for ALL kinds of occasions!  I completed my card with a scrap of black ribbon, as I am all about using up those scraps, and some clear sparklers!  Hope you like my creation and thank you for stopping by!  Have a WONDERFUL day!

You Are Special~

Good Morning Sweet'nSassy Fans! Mary here to share this fun tea card with you. To read about the inspiration, visit my blog. As much I am a coffee anything fan, tea can make a person feel very special.

My card uses Diane Z's illustration Special Blend. I coloured the image with copics and layered the handcut image (silly me, I forgot I had the die!) onto Cheery Lynn's french pastry doily. It is laughable what I can do or not do for that matter. You can use the matching special blend die if you remember. Next, I tied the silky ribbon directly through the doily. The sentiment is from Gloria Stengle's  Birthday Word Art set.

Materials used:
Stamps: Special Blend, Birthday Word Art
Inks: SU Calypso Coral, Memento black, copics
paper: SU
Accessories: Cheery Lynn Die, Ribbon, dimensionals

Birthday Bash Cupcake...

Hello! It's Monika here, continuing on my birthday card quest, and showing you another sweet birthday card. I find that I am always in need of birthday cards...
Have I convinced you yet, how much you need these 2 birthday sets: Birthday Word Art and the fabulous Birthday Bash clear stamp sets? If not, here is another card to inspire you to have these in your stash:

I love combining the images from the sets... The colors came from The Color Throwdown #302. The sketch was loosely based on Mojo Monday #355.

 The frosting was die-cut with a die from the coordinating Birthday Bash die set. To embellish my card, I made a butterfly, stamping the image from Majestic Monarchs clear stamp set on vellum, and heat embossing it with white embossing powder. The image then was die-cut with the coordinating die from Monarch die set. I also used Borders & Backgrounds die set...

...and here are some of my previous cards, using the same birthday stamp sets, but with different colors:

Thanks for stopping by,

Monika
