Nothing to Fear...

Hi folks!  Kim here today to share a card featuring one of my favorite images...silhouettes!  I simply adore all of the designs you can create using silhouette images and Korin has the best selection around!  Have you seen all of them?  If not, don't delay, go and check them out...you'll definitely find something you'll love!

My card features the sweet God Is stamp set, which includes three silhouette images and a host of encouraging sentiments.  I love the solid truth of the sentiment on this card..  Our lives won't be without trials (whose life is) but we worship a most mighty God...there is nothing to fear.

For my card, I started by using a stencil and Distress Ink to add some grey polka dots on top of text paper.  Then I stamped the silhouette image and used a Copic marker to add some shading under the feet.  All that was left was to assemble my card, using great paper from My Minds Eye.  The sentiment was attached last (after those giant brads) and viola...a perfect card to encourage a friend!

Enjoy today's project and be sure to check out all of the great silhouette images at Sweet 'n Sassy!

God Is...

Hello! It's Monika here today, bringing you an all occasion card. 

Now that I officially had to put my Christmas stamps away, I had a hard time picking a set... Finally I decided on God Is clear stamp set, since I had not used it for ages. It is such a sweet set, plus silhouette images are very easy to work with.

I wanted to use a specific sketch from Unscripted Sketches #236... and this is what I came up with:

Simple lines, with a little bit of embellishments... and voila... an elegant and classy card.I used washi tape, silver rhinestones, Baker's Twine, and couple of wood veneer shapes... 

The fence was die-cut with with Fence & Grass Die set.

Thanks for stopping by,

Monika

calms His child

With the warm days, cooler nights, and the leaves falling from the trees here, these images come together perfect for this time of year.  The swinging child from God Is and the Tree Background were stamped onto patterned paper for the background.  I then stamped the large sentiment called Calms His Child over top in black ink.  The fonts on this make it a beautiful sentiment!

It is comforting to know that we always have God to turn to with our troubles and this sentiment is a great reminder.  Thanks for stopping in and enjoy the beautiful fall weather!

His Children

Hi everyone!  I'm super excited to be joining you today to show off two of the latest Sweet 'n Sassy releases!  The first is yet another silhouette set that I absolutely ADORE!  I just can't get enough of these amazing sets!  The one that I used on my card comes from the God Is stamp set (the sentiment is included in the set as well) and is right up there as one of my favorite sets, featuring sweet boys (I love me some sweet boys because I have two of my own!) playing.  I even find such comfort in the sentiments...because if you have boys, who seem to make an art out of injuring themselves, I sure can use a reassuring sentiment that God is watching over them.

I used one of the new Decorative Frames (a set of dies with coordinating stamps) set to showcase my swinging boy (I love having a stamp to edge the frame die!).  I paired the designs with great paper from Crate and simply added a few gold pearls to accent a few areas on the card.

Enjoy and be sure to check out all of the latest Sweet 'n Sassy releases!!

Hello friends!  August is slowly drawing to a close...I hope you've enjoyed your summer!  As we look toward another season of change, I am thankful for the beauty God surrounds us with.  Each season brings something wonderful! 

I couldn't decide which card to share again today...lol...so I have 3 different cards, all in shades of pink or red.

My first card is a springy / summery card.  I just LOVE this bird image from the Praise The Lord stamp set!  I paired it with a sentiment from Be Encouraged.  The bird and flowers are popped up.

Next I have a card with my Prim Blessings from this month's release.  This Fall-ish set was used for a summery card by changing the tones of brown in the sunflower to shades of pink.  I also used the fun triangle die from the Shape dies.

And finally, I have a simple Christmas card to share.  I like to make a few cards each month so I don't have a lot to make all at once.  When I saw this month's set, God Is, it reminded me of The Little Drummer Boy...perfect for a Christmas card!  I simply printed the words on my computer and stamped the boy above.

Have a wonderful week and enjoy your last bit of summer!

Hello, Sunshine!

Hello, Sweet 'n Sassy friends!  Cathy here to share a couple of cards with you today...one sneak peek and one from a past release.  I was recently on vacation at the beach where I love to watch the sun rise over the ocean.  Often sunrises and sunsets are just breathtaking, so both of my cards feature the sun!

The sun on this first card was masked and the sky sponged before adding silhouettes from several popular silhouette sets...Nature Silhouettes 2, Landscape Silhouettes, Long Stem Silhouettes, and Serene Silhouettes.  The panel was split to make room for the sentiment.  Don't you just love the swinging boy Silhouette?  It's from one of the new stamp sets being released tomorrow, God Is...  The card front was matted in black and stitching added across the sponged panel and around the one corner.  The sketch design is from this week's Sweet Stop Challenge.

The sun on the second card was made from strips of DP stitched together.  The clouds and sentiment are from the Head in the Clouds stamp set.  The Clouds & Raindrop dies, the Fence die, and the Birds & Feather dies were used to create the scene and a few rhinestones added for a little sparkle.

Even though the sentiment on the second card makes reference to the sun, it reminds me of the son...God's son shining grace and mercy into our lives.  What an awesome thought to think that one day we will have no need for the sun because we will have the presence of THE SON!

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit with us today!
Have a bright sun-filled day!

Hugs,
Cathy
