light it up...it's calorie free!

Good morning! Today I have two cards to share using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps sets Make A Wish and Humorous Birthday Innies.

I used the sweet cupcake image and birthday papers for both cards. First I used a curvy design and the "Light it up" sentiment.

For my second card, I stamped the bottom of the cupcake "second generation" so it would be lighter. Then I stamped the words overtop.

Have a great Thursday…enjoy your day!

Part of our celebration is a different sale each week during November. Our Week 2 sale is a fabulous 20% off products in our Backgrounds and Creative Worship Stamps categories! Sale ends Thursday, Nov. 19, so hurry in to grab some deals!

I used the new A Little Snarky set for the sentiment, then paired it with Encouraging Peonies, and the Faith Wordfetti, Just Say Jesus, and Your Story Creative Worship sets.

Let's take a little look-see at the November release...

First up is the November stamp of the month, Bold Birthdays. This set is available for purchase for $15.95, OR you can get it as a FREE gift with a $75 purchase (after any discounts and before shipping and tax) during the month of July! Please note you MUST add this set to your cart to receive the discount. Once your order qualifies, the discount will apply to the set in your shopping cart.

Guest designer Lieschen Harshbarger brings on the happy with this fabulous slimline shaker card featuring Bold Birthdays.

Who loves polka dots? We've got a FABULOUS new texture tiles set this month. Swiss dots, polka dots, random dots, big dots, small dots... you'll be seeing spots with this awesome Texture Tiles 8 repeatable background set!

Korin puts the swiss dots from Texture Tiles 8 in the spotlight, paired with the new Make a Wish set. She shared this card on her NEW blog. Be sure to check out her AMAZING birthday giveaway. Seriously, you don't want to miss out on this! Go ahead hop on over, just be sure to come back and hop along with us! 😄

Make a Wish is the next set in our spotlight. The bold fonts  in this extremely versatile birthday set are perfect for both masculine and feminine cards. And the traditional birthday accoutrements like cake, cupcakes, party hats, and candles are so much fun!

I went for a clean mini slimline with lots of white space, wanting to make the fun images and sentiments in Make a Wish take center stage. Love the fun stamp that can be either sprinkles or confetti! I added a little dimension to the hat by curving the paper with my finger, then adding foam tape to the center and then gluing the sides down securely so it stayed rounded.

For our 13th birthday, we thought we'd bring a little bit more sassy to Sweet 'n Sassy with the A Little Snarky set. After all, SNSS is a teenager now! These humorous sentiments are sure to bring a smile.

Janelle brought this set to life with a set of little encouragement cards sure to bring a smile. So clever to use the A Little Snarky hangry sentiment with our Donut Worry set. She also used Grunge Elements 2 on one of the cards.

Our next spotlight set coordinates perfectly with the A Little Snarky set. Humorous Birthday Innies are funny little sentiments perfect for the inside or outside of your cards!

I created a fun slimline birthday card pairing the Humorous Birthday Innies with the new Birthday Gnome DIGI. These sentiments totally make me smile.

Our Creative Worship set this month is sure to light up your studio! Shine Your Light has fabulous encouraging sentiments and lovely lights of all kinds like lanterns, candles, fireflies, and light bulbs. Such a fun set!

Deeds created these gorgeous bookmarks with Shine Your Light. Wouldn't they make the perfect DIY gift for a reader in your life?

That's our November Release in a nutshell! So many fabulous sets to choose from! What's your favorite? Let us know in the comments.

Your next stop on the hop is my blog, Poetic Artistry.

May you be blessed today and always!

Snarky is My Superpower!

 Hello Hello!

It is so good to be back after a month long break.  We are celebrating Sweet n Sassy Stamps' 13th birthday this month!  I can still remember the first stamp set I bought from SnSS- cutest snowman ever!  We have so many fun stamp sets to share with you this month; many of them are birthday themed.    

One of my favorite sets is the A Little Snarky Stamp Set-oh how we have needed this set!  LOL!  

I colored the snarky lady with Copics and fussy cut her out.  My card background was done using a stencil and sponging on color in ombre fashion.  I have finished it off with my favorite sentiment, Sarcasm is My Superpower (and it is, lol).  

Next up.  Make a Wish Stamp Set~

This is such a versatile set!  Love, love, love it.  The piece of cake was colored with Copics and then fussy cut out.  I stamped and masked a single candle multiple times to get a grouping of candles.  These were colored with Copics as well and fussy cut out.  I picked out another stencil, this one scattered numbers, perfect for a birthday card.  I sponged the background, then stamped the sentiment from the Humorous Birthday Innies Stamp Set.  I grounded the cake and candles with a black circle and added black sequins to finish off the card.  

Lastly, I had a little bit of fun with the Make a Wish Stamp Set!  Is it bad that this is the first thing I 'saw' when I saw this icing???  

I kept the card CAS, stenciled a background and popped up the 'emoji' on dimensional tape.  I added a sentiment from the A Little Snarky Stamp Set.  

Head over to Sweet n Sassy Stamps to check out all of the November release stamps.  Buy the bundle and save some money!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a blessed week all!

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy stampers! 

It's Ceal, here with you today to share a couple cards with you.

Sorry I am late, I had a super busy weekend and missed the fact that I was supposed to post here today. 

So, it's our birthday month and we have lots of fun in store for you. 

My cards use a new release, Humorous Birthday Innies which I used on the outside lol. I paired it up with an older set, Birthday Borders for the backgrounds on both cards. 

I just love the sentiments of the Humorous Birthday Innies set.
