Merry Christmas!

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  Isaiah 9:6

I used the beautiful Christmas Light stamp set and coordinating die to create my last Christmas card of the year.  I also used one of the pretty Doily Borders dies to accent the ribbon.

Today we gather with family and friends to celebrate, hope, and reflect on that very first Christmas.  May you feel the warmth and be filled with the wonder of God's love, His gift to us. 

From all of us at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps...

Have a Blessed and Meaningful Christmas! 

Country Christmas

 

Hi there It's Ceal sharing with you today. 

I made this card for a couple challenges. One was yesterday's CAS challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers which is a photo inspiration and then we are sponsoring Loves Rubberstamps this week which starts today and the challenge is Christmas

The stamp I used is one of my favorite Christmas stamps, Christmas Light. this image is fun to color and it also has a matching die. The sentiment is from another set Old Fashioned Christmas, love the font on this set.

Hello and happy Friday!

This is Makiko and I have one Christmas card to show you today. 

Speaking of Christmas, it is the last day of Birthday Sale at SNSS Store and all Christmas/Holiday clear stamps are on sale until tonight. Grab some before the sale ends!

Also, be sure to check out Friends of SNSS Blog Hop to chance to win a $15 store credit! You will have until midnight EST on November 30th to comment for a chance to win!

I used the sketch from Sketch Challenge 431 from Splitcoaststampers. 

The image and the sentiment are from Christmas Light set and I used the coordinating die to cut the image. It is much easier than cutting by scissors :) Although I still had to fuss-cut for the sentiment, which I do a lot when I design cards....gives more freedom to design this way IMO.

To finish off, I embellished the card with lace trim and the red tea roses. 

Hope you like it!

Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for stopping by.

Cocoa Merry Christmas

Hello my friends! Giovana here with a very cute Christmas card. I used a Cocoa Digital image, this one is "Cocoa's Santa Hat", the sentiment is from "Christmas Light" set.
I colored the image with Copic Markers, cut a pom-pom from one of my American Craft Ribbon and added it to the image, of course the hat needed a little bit of bling. .
The papers are from the Peaceful Collection from Authentique. The big scallop border is from SNSS :)

Now, you can get this image in clear stamp, the 25% Sale ends today!! Also, tomorrow starts the new "Digital Sale" and you could get this image as well :)

Hope you like it!
Have a fantastic day.

Christmas Light...

Good Morning! It's Monika here today, bringing you another Christmas card.

Tonight is the Night! Christmas Eve is extra special to me. In Hungary we celebrate the greatest gift, the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas Eve. We'd decorate our tree, have a special meal (fish or some kind of noodle dish), then open presents. It is just so magical doing all of that by the lit up Christmas tree.

I know it is too late for most of you to be making Christmas cards, and mine won't be used this year either. It will be saved for next year. It's never too early to start on your stash, is it?

I went all out on this one and used my favorite little techniques and embellishments. What do you think?

The main image is from Christmas Light clear stamp set. I used the matching Christmas Light Candle die to die-cut it. The greeting was stamped on a tag I die-cut using Tim Holtz's Decorative Strip die. In the background I used a book page, a doily, cheesecloth, Studio Calico paints, and rhinestones.

The candle image was colored with Copic Markers, then decorated with more rhinestones and clear Crackle Accent (on the candle).

My stars were die cut with Spellbinders dies. The big red star is dry embossed with Textile embossing folder by Cuttlebug. The glitter came from Michael's, one of my clearance finds.

I also did some sponging and distressing. Love to add textures that way to my cards.

Thank you for stopping by today.

HAVE A PEACEFUL AND BLESSED HOLIDAY SEASON!

Fabulous Folds

Hello friends!  Hope you are enjoying your day!  I've been having fun playing with some fabulous folds from the new 3D and Fun Folds CD produced by Technique Junkie Newsletter.  TJN joined up with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps for a blog hop yesterday. Here are my two projects I created for the HOP! The first one is a "Pleated Front Card."



I began with a craft card base and stamped the snowflakes and swirls from the "Snowflake Flourish" clear stamp set with Fresh Snow ink.  The card front was then scored and pleated.  Each edge was sponged with Fresh Snow ink and pierced.  The "Winter Friends" digi was sized to fit the front of the card and colored with copic markers.  Polar White Flower Soft, Diamond Stickles, a snowflake die, and several small gems add sparkle and texture to finish the card.

Here is what the inside of the card looks like.  This was a unique and fun fold to work with and is one of the techniques included in the new 3D and Fun Folds CD!



For my next project I used the "Goodie Box Tutorial."

This is what the front of the box looks like.  A border punch was used for the edges.  The die cut candle image is from the beautiful "Christmas Light" clear stamp set and was colored with copic markers.  Graphic 45 DP was used to decorate the front panel.  Some Glossy Accents was used on the berries and the candle drips.

Here is another view of the "Goodie Box" so you can see the dimensions of the box better.  


I decided to fill my "Goodie Box" with little tea light candles since it fit the theme of my card.  When you open the box...

you will see a little pocket with a message tag on the left and a package of tea light candles on the right.  The wonderful thing about this fun fold is that it can be adapted to fit any occasion and makes such a lovely gift!


Hope you've enjoyed these projects!  Thanks for stopping by...have a fabulous weekend!

Merry Christmas

Happy Wednesday everyone and thanks for taking the time to visit the Sweet 'n Sassy blog. It's Mary Marsh here and this is my last post as a design diva for Sweet 'n Sassy stamps. My 6 month term has quickly come to an end and now I move to alumni status.

It has been an amazing experience to design for Korin's company. I pray for continued success for her & Dan in their venture.

For my card today I used the Christmas Light and Light of Christmas stamp sets.
These 2 stamp sets are so versatile. They can be used in a variety of ways and without a stamped focal image. And that's what I am showing you today.

I used the background stamp (Light of Christmas set) and stamped it in artichoke ink directly onto my designer paper. The Merry Christmas (Christmas Light set) sentiment I stamped in cherry cobbler ink and layered on a spellbinders fancy tag 2 die.

I cut one of the large poinsettias from the designer paper and popped it up for dimension. I used some cherry cobbler ribbon and cut a holly leaf and added to the bow center.

That's my card for today. I will see all of you in blog land. God bless.

Merry Christmas

Happy Wednesday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Sweet 'n Sassy blog. It's Mary Marsh here and my day to post on the blog. 

I am using the just released set "Christmas Light" designed by the amazing Dina Kowal. This set has a matching die. Can that make card making any easier?

I water colored my image and then popped it up on a lacy circle die. My sentiment is also from this same set and it was stamped and then embossed. I used gold metallic paper so the embossing helped my red ink to show up a little better.

I used another new die on this card. It's the Cheery Lynn "lace light" border die. Korin is now carrying dies from this company in the store. They cut with such great detail. I used a maraschino cardstock to cut the border and the circle.

My striped designer paper is something I have had in my stash for years. I couldn't match it up with just the right paper. Today it all worked. Love it when that happens-don't you?

I had the right gold paper to layer it and the green card base is Bazzill "ivy" . The maraschino was just the shade of red to work with the green.

Well, I hope I have provided you with some inspiration today. It's time to get a start on your cards for Christmas and our release this month can help you do just that. Check the entire line here.

That's it for me so until next time..........God bless
