Thank You.........

Hello friends!  Jacquie here, to share with you!  How are you and what's new?

I am excited to share my little creation with you today!  I have been seeing a lot of banners and ink sprays/splatters being used and I wanted to give it a try!  So here is what I came up with.

I started out with a pre-made kraft card base and then added a layer of Georgia Pacific white.  I used Memento Rich Cocoa ink to stamp out a few borders from the SNSS Borders & Backgrounds clear stamp set and cut them out with the matching Borders & Backgrounds die set!  I just love when stamps and dies match; it makes for EASY card/project making.  Once my borders were cut out, I trimmed them down to make banners and placed them on my white layer; off centered a bit of course.  After the banners, I  used my mini mister to spritz some Mandarin Perfect Pearls (a little mixed with water) onto my project; I only used a bit, as I did not want my paper to get all wonky from being wet!  I stamped some leaves from the SNSS Leaf Silhouettes clear stamp set in Memento Clay and Tangelo; cutting them out with the matching Leaf Silhouettes die set!  Before I added the leaves to my project, I put together and stamped a sentiment from the SNSS Thankful Blooms clear stamp set.  Another thing I REALLY love is being able to make my own sentiments with different fonts.  I just LOVE the way it looks.  Once all the above was done, I completed my card by adding my leaves with 3D foam tape and adding some various embellishments.

Hope you enjoyed my little creation today!  Thanks for stopping by and be sure to come back tomorrow, one of our DT will have more to share with you!  Have a WONDERFUL day!

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

A Happy, Thankful Father's Day!

Good Morning Friends and Happy Father's Day!!  Jacquie here to share a "GUY" creation with you!  I always find it a challenge to create something for a man, don't you?  So, I am always glad to find those elements that are NOT gender specific!  AND?  Those elements are exactly what I used today!

No matter who your card is for, be it your Father or someone who has been just like a Father to you?  Being thankful is something I am sure you will want to express.  So, why not make a thank you card?  We are all thankful for the men in our life and today is a GREAT day to tell them!  Check out my take on a thankful, Father's Day card!

Hope you like my thank you creation!  Be sure to thank those men in your life today, no matter who they are!  Happy Father's Day!  Have a WONDERFUL day and thanks for stopping by!

CREATION ELEMENTS:

• SNSS Flower Blocks 3 Clear Stamp Set
• SNSS Clouds & Raindrops Dies
• SNSS Borders & Backgrounds Dies
• SNSS Cattails and Tall Grass Dies

Blooming with Thanks

Hello Everyone!

We have all been waiting patiently for winter to be over, and I think we can safely say that spring is finally here!  I just love all of the great spring sets that Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps will release this week!  I have a sneak peek of a wonderful set, reminiscent of bouquets of flowers.

This flower from the Thankful Blooms set is perfect for the rock and roll technique; I stamped my flower two times using this technique.  Both were cut out with the matching die;  I cut one of the flowers out in a swirl, following the lines of the image and then rolled it up like a rolled rose, allowed it to loosen up some and then adhered it on top of the other flower.  I stamped a Decorative Frame and die cut it out with its matching Decorative Plaque Die.  The frame is  used  as a base for the flower. 
The scalloped border is from the Borders and Backgrounds set and was stamped on patterned paper and cut out with its matching Borders and Backgrounds Die.   A doily, some weathered woodgrain patterned paper and some pearls finish off the card. 
I hope you can join us for our Release Party; we will be celebrating Thursday evening (April 10th) at 8pm EST in the Splitcoaststamper Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps forum here. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a blessed week!

Lee Ann  :)

If you've seen the March Sweet 'n Sassy release, you may have fallen in love with the third set of Flower Blocks that Korin has released.  For the hops I used the cute coneflower to make some cards but today I've turned to a different flower and used the rose.

My rose was stamped and heat embossed on vellum cardstock, colored on the reverse side with markers, and layered onto a scrap of white cardstock.  The light blue frame was then popped up around it with dimensionals.  The black border and matching die is from the Borders & Backgrounds Stamp & Die Bundle.

I made a few cards of this design for thank you and birthday occasions, but this would also be pretty for Mother's Day!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Espresso my thanks!

Good morning!

Jessica here with a card to share today that I made with a couple of the new March stamp and die sets through Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps: Pick Me Up and Borders & Backgrounds.

The flag banners at the top of the card are from the arrow die in the Pick Me Up stamp set - fun!  I used linen white card stock to die cut the border dies and purposely didn't stamp them cleanly, as I wanted a bit of the texture of the paper to show through.  

Have a great day! 

Jessica

A Little Sunshine

Hello sweet friends!  Can you believe this weather?  One day it's beautiful, sunny, and 60 degrees, and the next it's rainy and dreary with temperatures plummeting to below zero with the wind chill. Well...yesterday was so dismal, I decided to create a little sunshine!

The background was made with a stencil and some modeling paste.  After the rays were dry, some Daffodil Delight ink was sponged on them.  The borders, from the newly released set Borders and Backgrounds, were white embossed on different colors of card stock and die cut with the Borders and Background Dies to make a rainbow.  Because I was trying to make a happy card, the flowers from the Happy Place stamp set were colored with Copic Markers in rainbow colors.  A Clear Wink of Stella marker was used to make the sun rays and the flowers really shimmer.

A sunny bow, a banner sentiment, and some rhinestone stickers were added to finish the card.

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps has been busy preparing for Heirloom's Allentown Rubber Stamp and Paper Arts Festival this weekend, so if you are in the area, be sure to stop in and say hello!  We'd love to meet you!

Thanks so much for stopping in for a visit!  Be a blessing to someone today and add a little sunshine to their life!

Oh, and one more thing---We just added a bunch of our exclusive dies to our 50% off sale---CHECK IT OUT!!! They're sure to sell out FAST

Hugs,
Cathy
