Grace So Amazing!

Today I have some AMAZING projects for you using the new GRACE SO AMAZING set.

My first project is a clean and simple watercolor/stenciled background using Distress Oxides and a music stencil. This was actually created after I created one of the 2nd project cards. There was leftover ink on the stencil so I spritzed it with water and pressed it onto some watercolor paper. When it was dry, I used the same ink to stamp my sentiment - lyrics from Amazing Grace. It seemed perfect with that background. I die cut with a rounded die, then added some clear drops.


My second project is a set of Faith-dex cards I created for a Faith-dex swap on the SNSS Creative Worship Facebook page.


I used the music stencil and Distress Oxide (Tumbled Glass) to create the base.Then I stamped in a repeat pattern the word Grace in Distress Oxide a shade darker (Broken China) and "is sufficient" in black Archival Ink - both from the Choose Faith set. I added a sentiment to the tab and the back from the GRACE SO AMAZING set. Then I added ink splatters with Dina Wakley Ocean Acrylic paint and Dylusions Acrylic paint (this is what was on my desk:)) and set it aside to dry while I created the focal pieces.

I printed out the sheet music to Amazing grace on some cardstock and punched it out with a heart punch. I inked the edges of the heart with black Archival and added a little Antique Lined Distress Oxides on top (My card was cut from watercolor paper so I wanted to make sure the colors were similar)

I stamped "Grace so Amazing" from the Faith Wordfetti set on a strip of scrap watercolor paper and then I was ready to put the my Faith-dex card together...

I used some Grace themed washi tape and stuck to the card, then I added some coiled black twine to the side of it. I glued the hear on top of the twine then added the sentiment strip on top of the heart. Then I put blocks on top of all that dimension while it dried. Once it was all dry, I outlined to heart and sentiment strip using a black Stabilo All pencil which a blended with a damp brush.

This card turned out great and it really speaks to me - I hope it does the same for the other people who receive it. If you haven't tried these before, I recommend it - it's truly fun!!)


Thanks for stopping by! I hope you were inspired!

Never Lose Hope

Hi friends! It's Julee popping in with a couple cards using one of today's Friday Features sets, Choose Faith. This set is just $13.50 today only, after combining the Friday Features and Black Friday discounts!

I started with the background, smooshing broken china and shaded lilac onto some packaging and then spritzing with water and pouncing onto watercolor cardstock. Next I embossed the hope and the never lose stamps with chipped sapphire ink and clear embossing powder.  I then masked off the never lose portion with a post it note and then stamped the flowers from Nature Silhouettes in a combination of shaded lilac and chipped sapphire inks, then embossed in clear. A super quick, fun card.

Next I did a watercolor wash on watercolor cardstock with broken china and cracked pistachio distress oxides. Then I splattered on some of the same colored inks.  When this was dry, I embossed the JOY stamp from Choose Faith in white, then added the trees and snowflakes from the Thrill of Hope set to complete a winter scene. I cut this with a die and matted with navy cardstock.  The back panel is embossed with a snowflake embossing folder.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you've enjoyed these quick cards.  Be sure to check out all the Friday Features today!

And while you're there, don't forget that everything in the shop is 25% off during our Black Friday/Small Business Saturday sale!

Two cards to share.....

Hello friends, Stephanie here today.  I have 2 cards to share with you today.

This first card uses Girl Power 2 which is back in stock along with a few older sets, Be Encouraged,
Choose Faith and Truth Quotes.  I wanted a fun, cheerful card to give to our neighbor who is fighting Ewing's Sarcoma and I think these stamp sets all worked well together.  I colored her with copics and paper pieced her shirt, the papers come from Pink & Main.

I made a bridal shower card which could also be used as a wedding card or engagement card using the heart from Forever & Always and the word love from His Love.  This paper is from DCWV.  I stamped the heart with pink ink and heat embossed it and did some fussy cutting and added it to an embossed circle.  Wow, those two cards used a lot of stamp sets!  Don't forget that if you spend $75 you will receive the stamp of the month for free!

Happy Birthday! Choosing Faith with that Special Blend

Hi Sweet Friends!  Julie, here and today I am sharing a card using the June Stamp of the Month, Texture Tiles 2  along with the previously released stamp sets, Choose Faith and Special Blend.

I had fun creating my own background paper by first creating a wash of worn lipstick distress ink onto white cardstock, then stamping the solid words from Choose Faith (Grace and Joy) with a light pink ink and following with the brick wall image from Texture Tiles 2 using navy ink.

I heat embossed the stacked cup image and sentiment from Special Blend onto white cardstock, watercolored the cup image using water-based markers and die cut the image with s stitched rectangle die.

All of the panels were mounted onto navy cardstock and I finished off the card with a bit of a paper doily, a few buttons and shimmer and shine from a glitter pen and clear enamel drops (on the coffee).

Don’t forget, you have only a few more days left to obtain the Stamp of the Month, Texture Tiles 2 free with a net $75 (US$ order after all discounts and before shipping) plus any $75 or more order receives free shipping (US)- woohoo! 

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by! I hope all of you have a blessed week!

Choose Faith

WOW! What a Birthday month this has been at Sweet N Sassy Stamps - amiright? There is so much going on from flash sales to free printables and a free stamp with purchase...If you haven't already, check out the details HERE

Today I went through my stash of backgrounds - you know the ones. You see a fun techniques so you try it but then never do anything with it? PLEASE tell me I am not the only one who does this?? Anyway...I decided to make a set of cards with them. I came up with a layout so they would be similar since the backgrounds would make them so different. I used Sweet N Sassy's Choose Faith Clear Stamp Set for my focal point/sentiments.

I love some of them and I like some of them but overall I am happy with all of them!

Here they are up close...

Faith (I used distress inks drizzled down watercolor paper for this background).

Hope (I used a stencil and Distress Oxide - Iced Spruce on Bristol paper for this background).

Grace (I used distress inks and Wink of Stella on Glossy Card stock TECHNIQUE from SCS then pounced the Grace stamp on it with Versamark for this background).

Joy (I used Neocolor II water color crayons and a water brush on Bristol paper in this background).

OK, now I challenge you to pull out you background pieces and just have fun!! I hope you are inspired!

Thanks for stopping by!

Master of the sea

Good morning!

 

Today I am sharing this card using two stamp sets... a new set, Master of the Sea, and an older one called Choose Faith.

 

I kept it pretty CAS and one layer...except the two boats are popped with dimensionals.  The words Master and Sea were colored with lighter shades of Copic markers to minimize any bleed-through showing.  For the waves, I stamped them with 6 different shades of blues and blue/greens.

On the inside I finished my sentiment and added the anchor image to coordinate with the front.

 

Have a great day!

Diane

 

Hope in the Lord

Hello, sweet friends!  Cathy here with a few samples to share with you using some of the new stamps sets that have just been added to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store!   These three new stamp sets added to the Creative Worship line coordinate so well together and are all now available as a pre-order!

Words of Life: Collection 3 was designed by Korin Sutherland.

Just Be was designed by Rebecca Rios.

Choose Faith was designed by Korin Sutherland and Brenda Weaver.  This stamp set is part of our regular Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps line, but is perfect for Bible journaling as well.

This wonderful Bible page was created by Monika using the new Choose Faith stamp set.  Don't you just love the little vellum flowers cut with the Flower/Clover Dies she added to her page?

The thing I love the most about all of the new Bible Journaling sets is that they are also perfect for creating encouraging cards.  Here are some uplifting samples made by the SNSS Creative Crew using these new stamp sets:

In this fun sample, Susie was able to combine elements from Just Be and Words of Life: Collection 3 as well as Seek Him.

How gorgeous is this!?  Julie created this card using the new Choose Faith stamp set and Precious Poppies.

His Wings which was released at the end of February as part of the Creative Worship Line is currently available at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.  The feathers were white embossed on a piece of mixed media paper.  Tombow markers were scribbled on a piece of acetate, sprayed with a little water and smooshed onto the card stock.  Each color was dried before adding the next color.  Some of the feathers were fussy cut, tied together, and added to the card.  The sentiment is from the new Choose Faith stamp set.  See how well all of these stamp sets work together!  

Here is another card using His Wings, but this time very clean and simple.  Check out the amazing sentiment on this one.  It's a sneak peek from our fabulous new Creative Worship Kit being revealed next Friday!  You must check back next week to see this incredible kit…all I can say is you won't want to miss this one…you won't be disappointed!

His Wings was designed by Korin Sutherland and is now available for shipping!
