Christmas in July Blog Hop & Sale!

Good morning, Sweet 'n Sassy friends! The Creative Team has been busy creating some amazing Christmas creations to share with you today. We know it's summer here in the US but Christmas card making season is a year round endeavor for many so we wanted to help put you in the spirit and give you plenty of inspiration to help you get this year's cards either started or further along in the process. ;)

We are also excited to pass along a fun weekend sale on our Christmas stamps! Enter code CMASJULY during checkout TODAY through Sunday, July 24th and receive 15% off our entire line of Christmas stamp sets!

Now onto this fun and fabulous hop. You will be able to find all of the team participant blogs at the end of this post. Simply click on their name and you will be taken to their blog. The list will be on each person's blog, so no need to hit the back button. Just look for the next blog in the line-up and off you go!  Please be sure to leave the girls some love along the way. We will be drawing a winner from all of the blog comments and that person will receive a FREE Christmas stamp set (in stock) of their choosing from our line!

Before I send you on your way, here is my contribution to the Christmas in July Hop. It features our adorable and popular Born This Day stamp set AND coordinating dies, which I am happy to report are in stock NOW!

 The Born This Day image was colored with Copic markers and die cut with the matching die. I used some DP to put behind the "window" to create the look of the night sky. I added the star die cut and a rhinestone, plus some Stickles for the additional sparkle. The sentiment is from our Jesus is the Reason digital set but it is also available in our Jesus is Born clear stamp set. Yay!!

 The inside features a few other stamps from the Born This Day set including Luke 2:10-11. I love adding scripture to my cards and this set has plenty of great options.

I hope you enjoyed my card. Now off you go....ENJOY THE HOP!! I know I will! :D

Premade Christmas Morn

Hello Friends!  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends!

This is Jacquie and I am here to share a little AFTER Christmas cheer with you.  I know that Christmas is over, but, I would love to share the Christmas card that I made for my mother.  I used our SNSS Christmas Morn and SNSS Jesus is Born clear stamp sets.

I started with a plaid, premade card base.  Then I cut out a rectangular, green panel and a small, square red panel.  Once the panels were ready, I stamped my tree image onto the green with Versafine black ink.  I stamped the sentiment onto the red with the same ink and embossed it with some Ranger, fine detail, clear embossing powder.  I added some Recollections tinsel glitter to the tree image and popped both panels up with some 3m foam tape.  To finish off my project, I added a few sequins!

Hope you like this card, as much as my mother did!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!

the greatest gift

Hello!  Today I'm sharing another Christmas in July card.  This card uses three new Christmas sets called Christmas Morn, Jesus is Born, and Christmas Innies.  They are wonderful sets for jump-starting your holiday card making.

A circle punch was used to create an opening in the card front in which the popped up sentiment shows through.  An additional sentiment was also stamped on the inside.

I hope this inspires you to get some Christmas cards ready.  Have a great Monday!
