Peppermint Stripes & National Coffee Day Hop Winner

Hi friends! It's Julee sharing some of my first makes with the Peppermint Stripe Stencil I designed for our October release. I'm a huge fan of peppermint and diagonal stripes, so this is a match made in heaven for me!  

Before I get to the creative details, it's also time to announce the winner of our National Coffee Day Blog Hop prize...

Congrats VanessaB! Please send an email to snssassistant@gmail.com to claim your prize.

I designed the free digi below with the sentiment Vanessa suggested in her winning comment. Just right click and save to your computer. Thanks to everyone for hopping along! Please give credit to J Tilman Designs @vervegirl if you use it. Please and thank you.😁

Okay, on with my creative shares for the day.  I had fun with my first pass with this stencil, testing it with ink, glitter paste, and a mix of both. So much fun!

For my first card, I used mint tape to mask off the trio of thin stripes, then stenciled the bold lines in red.  Next I moved the tape to cover the red lines and added pink glitter paste to stencil the stripes.  I love how it looks like a real candy cane!

I recently received the coordinating dies for the classic Precious Poppies set, and could wait to use them. Poppies are red, so I figured they work for Christmas, right?  I added a sentiment tag with two sentiments from the Christmas Wordfetti set, then accented with a few little images stamped and die cut from the Wonder of Christmas Bundle.

My next card was inspired by my favorite wint-o-green mints. I did some masking and used sea glass on just the two outer thin stripes, then evergreen on all the other stripes for a fun wintergreen look.

I used the Christmas Silhouettes set and Karin markers for a soft watercolor effect, first stamping with the brusho, then coating the stamp lightly with water and stamping over it. When that was dry, I stamped again in clear embossing ink then embossed in clear. I love the look. I cut with the coordinating die cuts, then added the peace die cut from the Peace & Joy Word Dies, and a splash of color with the Doily Border Dies in cranberry and finished off with a gold poinsettia.

That third stenciled background hasn't made it onto a card yet, but I'm sure it won't be long. I used the stencil as is (no masking) with pink glitz glitter gel on red cardstock.

Thank so much for stopping by today! If you saw something you have to have, be sure to take advantage of our Earlybird Savings with 10% off individual new releases through Saturday, October 9.

Star Teacher Digi + Blog Hop Winner

Hi friends! It's Julee Tilman,  popping in with a project featuring the new Star Teacher Digi I designed for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. My boys have had the most AMAZING teacher this year, and I was inspired to design a few little digis to make some projects for her for Teacher Appreciation Week next week. I'm also announcing  the winner of our April Blog Hop, so be sure to stick around to the end of the post to see if you won!

I started with the sip, sip hooray sentiment, cutting it out in a tag shape. I took the plain to go cup image and sized it down and copied it for the cup image layering the original sized cup over the top for a little dimension and colored with Copic markers.  

For the inside of the card, I wanted to do a gift card to go with the "coffee's on me" part of the sentiment.  So I used a patterned paper strip, but only glued it down on the bottom and sides so I could tuck in a Starbucks gift card.  I then cut down the thanks a latte sentiment from the set and placed it in the center to finish things off.  A super quick and fun card done!

For my second project I wanted to create a bookmark to go along with a book store gift card. I haven't finished up the whole project yet, but the bookmark design is done, minus the laminating.

I lined up the two sentiments and the star image to print, then cut with the Bookmarks & More Die Set.  I then stamped the stars from the Back to School stamp set in blues and greens to fill in the space. Then I handed it off to one of my boys with some Copics to color in the star.  A little tassel finishes things off.

Okay, if you haven't checked out the $10 Deals category in the SNSS shop yet, there are still a few more days to take advantage of the sale!  Lots of goodies, including one of my personal faves, the Coffee Talk set!  Here's a throwback card I made with this fabulous set, on sale for only $10 until April 30.

 And the winner is.....

Okay, enough suspense, if you've read this far I'm sure you're excited to find out who the comment winner was from our April Blog Hop!

Congrats sharon g!

Now onto a little inspiration from me using one of my favorite past releases... Birds & Blooms. I started out by stamping out the images in the set, then watercoloring with distress inks and fussy cutting.  My first card is a shaker, using the miss you sentiment and my horizontal panel was done with the Background Builders: Stripes set. The background is a blended and sprinkled with water distress ink background.

My next card used the branch image, and I added the Blessings Word Die, cut a few times and stacked, then ink blended for some color and dimension.  The background is done with the Delightfully Delicate Stencil.  I used up a frame left over from cutting the back of my shaker above, then layered everything together.

There's still a week to save during our Moving Sale!

Now onto a little inspiration from me, mixing a couple of this month's releases with a couple of previous releases. I love how well the line of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps mix and match!

I absolutely love the new Alleluia Lilies stamp set. The flowers are just so beautiful. So this card started with the flower and extra leaf. I stamped them on watercolor paper and then watercolored with distress inks and fussy cut.

I then stamped the wood sign from Rustic Easter and sponged with distress inks, then embossed the Blessings sentiment in white over it.  This is fussy cut and layered over the bottom of the flower.

For the circle background I pulled out the Rise & Shine Stencil and stenciled with distress inks one way, then flipped the stencil around to fill a complete circle.  The background is done with the Wood Backgrounds set (one of my favorites), and I stamped it in brown on kraft paper, then ink blended to get a fun dark wood effect like the word sign.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Now onto a little inspiration from me, mixing a couple of this month's releases with a couple of previous releases.

These have been trying times lately, and I often find myself sipping coffee, stamping cards, and praying. Prayers for miracles, prayers for healing, prayers for peace, prayers for hope in the darkness, and prayers for better days to come. I love that this Matthew 21:22 verse "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." is in stamp form! 

I started with the to go cup image from I Like Big Cups, watercoloring the image and then fussy cutting.  I did the same with the image from Succulents, adding a bit of stickles for some glitz, then popping it up on the cup with foam tape for some dimension. The background is done with stamps from the Texture Tiles 9 stamp set, stamped tone on tone on pink cardstock.  I then stamped the verse from Words of Jesus on a scrap of patterned paper. I finished off with some inked edges.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
