Get Well Chicken

Hello! It's Monika here today, with a get well card.

I have a friend who loves chickens. She recently had to have a hand operation, so I wanted to make a card for her with the sweet chicken from Get Well Critters clear stamp set. I knew she'd get a kick out of it...

 

 

While I did not use the coordinating die set (Get Well Critters Die set), I used some of my favorite dies to make the scene. It might seem familiar, since I used these dies before... remember?

To build the fun scene, I used Hillside Edges, Bare Tree, Happy Happy, and Fence & Grass (currently unavailable) Die sets.

For the greeting, I used Get Well Innies clear stamp set.

 

Thank for stopping by,

Monika

Holly Jolly Christmas...

Hello! It's Monika here today with a holiday card. This is my first one this year, so I had to make it super cute and FUN.
I went with a clean look, using die-cuts to add a little bit of interest to the scene.

I love the sweet snowman from Holly Jolly Christmas clear stamp set... and now it has a coordinating die set! Please read Sweet Perks Club information HERE!

My little guy was:
1. Stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on white card stock.
2. Colored with Copic Markers.
3. Cut out.
4. Popped up with dimensional tape.

The cloud was die cut out of vellum with a die from the Happy, Happy Die Set.
The background was die-cut with dies from the Hillside Edges Die Set.
 

 Thank you for stopping by today,
Monika

 

Turtley Tuesday....

Hello!  Angie here today with my first post as a Sweet 'n Sassy design team member! I am so honored, Korin that you selected me to be part of the SNSS team!

 I used the adorable turtle and coordinating sentiment from Cute Critters Clear Stamp Set to share with you today.  This set is part of the January Sweet Perks Club Bundles that is available until January 8th so you still have a couple of days to take advantage of this sweet deal!

A couple of years ago our daughter rescued "Ted" the turtle.  He was sharing a small bowl with eight siblings at her friend's house.  Now Ted enjoys his days basking in sunshine in a large aquarium in our daughter's room.  

Inspired by our Ted, I decided to add dimension to this turtle by layering and using foam dots.  I stamped the turtle on the white card stock layer, then stamped him twice more and fussy cut the shell, and the head and layered with foam dots. Next I die cut the sun and clouds from  Happy Happy Die set because even paper turtles need a little sunshine!

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

You Make Me Happy Happy ~

Good Morning Sweet'nSassy Fans! Mary here sharing a happy summer card with you! Summer is here to stay I believe, I hope.

My card uses the Happy Happy stamp set with the matching Happy Happy die set. The images are coloured using chalks and shaded until I achieved the colour I wanted. The sentiment is stamped in versafine and circle punched and inked to give it some depth. I adhered the die cut images using dimensional tape. For some embellishment, I added some rhinestones to the side panel. 

Materials Used:

Stamps: Happy Happy

Paper: MME, SU

Inks: SU chalks, Versafine black

Accessories: Rhinestones, SU punch

Be sure to play along on this weeks' challenge "Anything Goes" from yesterday's bloghop for a chance to win some prizes!

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

I'm not lion...these are bright! ;)

I don't usually stamp with the bold, bright colors but I've had a bit of fun with them lately!  My first card is bright and sunny…

 

I can't seem to get enough of the Happy Happy stamps and dies...they are so fun!

 

My second card is one that I made for a sweet little guy with a special birthday.

 

It seems so long ago that my own girls had their first birthday...I miss those days!  Time has passed so quickly.

I used the Baby's Circus and You're A Star stamp sets, along with the Numbers dies to make my card.  The lion and stand are raised on foam dots.

Thanks for stopping and checking out what I have to share today!  Be sure to come and see the new release on Friday!

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:

Happy Happy...

Hello! It's Monika here today, bringing you another SWEET peek from our April Release.

I used the soon-to-be released Happy Happy stamp and die set. I just love the cheerful and sweet images and coordinating dies... 

I wanted to make something simple, but with a special touch... so I made a shaker card, using the cloud as the window... 

I filled the shaker with micro beads and sequins. 

The sun was stamped on a piece of pattern paper from Hello Spring DP by doodlebug designs. To add sparkle to my sum, I used yellow stickles.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hopefully I inspired you to make something fun today...

Don't forget to join us on Thursday at 8 pm in the SCS forum for our release party!  You can find all the info for the new release happenings HERE.

Happy, Happy..........

Hi there friends!!  How are you?  Thanks so much for visiting today! I am really excited to share a little PEEK with you!!  I made my creation with an AWESOME new stamp set Korin will be releasing next Friday, April 11 called Happy Happy along with some SWEET matching dies.  Check it out!  This set is right up there with my FAVES!!  I know I will be reaching for this set........... for ALL kinds of occasions!! 

  I took a piece of white cardsock and cut it down to A2 size, then I ran it through my Big Shot a few times with my cloud die.  Voila!  A custom mask/stencil for clouds!!  LOVE it!  I proceeded to line up the mask/stencil on my card base and get to work with my Memento inks and large daubers.  While my mask/stencil is STILL on my base?  I stamped some CUTE scrolls, from the SNSS LEAFY FLOURISH BACKGROUND & MORE clear stamp set!  Then I sponged (with the large dauber) my grass with Memento ink.  Next, I cut out a sun and a kite with those matching dies, sponged on some Memento color with my dauber again, and used some dimensionals to add them to my base.  To finish off my creation, I added my sentiment and adhered the card base to a piece of green cardstock!
 

 Hope you enjoyed my project today!  Be sure to tune in next Friday to see all of the AMAZING sets for April!!  Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!

My Sunshine.

Hi there!

Jessica popping in this afternoon to share a card I made using an adorable new stamp set Korin will be releasing next Friday, April 11 called Happy Happy along with their coordinating dies.  I used several of our scallop border dies (borders & backgrounds, scallop border dies) layered together and LOTS of yellows to make my happy, sunny card! 

I die cut the sunshine (LOVE this shape!) from felt and stamped my favorite sentiment from the new set along with it, adding some yellow washi tape, a yellow button (with yellow twine, of course!) and called it done.  This card makes me happy with all the bright, WARM colors.  I just wish it wasn't 37 degrees and cloudy outside with a chance of snow tonight (AGAIN!).

No matter the weather, we can make sunny, happy card, right!? 

Hope you are enjoying the sunshine today!

Jessica
