Back to School Pencil Holder

It's that time of year where moms all over the United States are having those mixed emotions of feelings of the kids going back to school; getting them out of the house for some peace and quiet or missing them all day long. Along with this comes the tremendous guilt of feeling like a bad mom because you want the peace, savor the peace, and it gives you more uninterrupted time for the Lord, household business and of course, getting your stamp on! Or counting the hours until your little darlings get home. I'm a combination of both, as most of us are. We're all looking forward to getting back into a predictable routine.

This month for my two Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps blog posts, I decided to go back in time and showcase older digital stamps that I LOVE. Today will be a "Back to School" digi stamp using Pencil Holder (it's less than a dollar!) and on August 25, I'll be showing you my favorite food digital stamp.

And, just as a reminder to you, every day a design team member posts a totally inspirational card or project showcasing Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps at the Blog. You never know what you're going to see daily because we can use whatever stamp set we like, so it's always a surprise! Please visit us daily at the Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps Blog and definitely come back to visit me on August 25 for my next post. I can guarantee you'll be cooking. Be sure to stop back by tomorrow to see who will bless you.

Thank you for stopping by to see me today and God bless you!

Baby Elephant

Good morning stampers. This is Cindy here with you today for some really cute inspiration using the Baby's Circus stamp set. I have adored this set since it first came out and was really happy to be able to ink it up. There's so many possibilities and variables that you can use the images for with this stamp set. I also found the perfect designer paper to go with it (Imaginisce Animal Crackers). There are so many patterns in this designer paper to highlight this stamp set and the Circus Fun stamp set too.

I definitely went out of my box while creating this card using such a bright color for my card base, but I think it turned out pretty cute and hope that you do too. Thank you so much for stopping by today to visit us and stop back daily as there's always a design team member showing you what they've made with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. God bless you and have a wonderful day.

Beautiful Dots

Good morning. This is Cindy and I hope that you're all having a very blessed day so far. When I first saw Polka Dot Silhouettes, I immediately fell in love with this set. It's so versatile that you can use it for any occasion; not to mention it's as cute as can be! This set can be used for very elegant cards to very bright and fun cards, like my clean and simple card. It would also work great on scrapbook pages too. To keep it balanced, I used a sentiment from Birds & Roses stamped using white ink. To add a little more texture and dimension, I put everything up on foam dots and used textured white card stock.

I hope that you enjoy this very easy and fun to make clean and simple card. God bless you!

Yellow Rose

Good morning. This is Cindy Coutts and it's my first official blog post as a Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Design Team Diva! I am very blessed to be a part of a Christian stamp company who's sole focus is on the Lord and uses paper crafting as a medium to do that. As busy as I am with Christian Paper Crafts, we are instructed by the Lord to support the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27, Ephesians 4:16), and that is what I am doing as a design team member of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, and I am doing this with such a joyful heart!

My card that I'd like to share with you today showcases the new Rose Blossom stamp set from our fantastic June Bundle release! I used Echo Park For the Record as my designer paper and colored in my rose with Copic markers, accented with a die-cut, ribbon, glimmer mist, paper piecing, and ink distressing. I really encourage you to take a good look at this stellar release. The entire bundle is only $70 for 6 stamp sets, but wait! With any purchase over $50 of hard product, you get the newly released Flourish Seashells! You do the math and that's $10 a stamp set. You can also visit The Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Connection for fellowship and inspiration, and participate in The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge every Saturday, The Digi Challenge every Friday, and a monthly Customer Appreciation Blog Hops with a few surprises in between. You can visit us on our Facebook page too! The June Card Kit is too adorable and was designed by Jessica Fick.

So there you have it in a nutshell all of the fun and activities at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me today. I wish you a very blessed day and I'll see you soon! God bless.
