Your Kindness

Good morning Sweet 'n Sassy Stamp friends! Today I am excited to share this card with you. I recently received the sentiment set Kindness Matters and I am so glad I finally got it. I love the mix of fonts and different ways to put the sentiments together! 

I paired the sentiment set with a few other goodies to create this bright and bold thank you card. I started by creating the background with the Delightfully Delicate Stencil and picked raspberry distress oxide ink on white cardstock. I love this stencil! I layered the white panel on black and attached to a pink passion card base.

Then, I cut one of the bookmarks from Bookmarks & More Dies, trimmed it to fit the stenciled panel and stamped the sentiments from Kindness Matters with VeraFine Clair Nocturne ink. Next, I embossed the three flowers from Happy Day with VersaMark and black embossing powder on white cardstock. I colored them with watercolor brush pens and fussy cut out. Finally, I attached the flowers popping the two bigger flowers up with foam tape.

 

I hope you enjoyed today's card and thanks for stopping by!

Celebrations

Hi Sweet 'n Sassy friends! It's Julee Tilman, popping in with a little update on some of the fun I've been having with my Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps this month!

The Happy Couple set is a new favorite of mine, and I created both a wedding card, as well as a celebration card that could be for any occasion that calls for cake!

For this card, I used a stencil to ink blending the background, then stamped the timeless image from Happy Couple on white, and then watercolored using the same inks.  I wanted a little more pizazz, so stamped the top of the cake image a couple times, then colored and fussy cut to accent her veil and her bouquet.  Such an easy little accent that packs a big punch. And a little white on black sentiment always makes things pop.

For my next card, I made some backgrounds with some shimmering watercolors, then stamped the cake image from Happy Couple and watercolored with the same paints. Lots of splatters give a fun vibe, and I used a delicate little circle die to give a feminine flair.  The many blessings sentiment is so beautiful embossed in silver.  A few rough edges around my background and the card was done.

It's the last day of the month, and also the last day to enter our Rainbow challenge in the Sweet 'n Sassy VIP Group on Facebook. If you're not a member, consider signing up! It's free to join and there are lots of fun early bird peeks for our releases and fun inspiration and activities throughout the month. Okay, on with the card talk. This is one of the cards I created for the rainbow challenge using some watercolor markers and the darling Itty Bitty Blossoms set. A thank you sentiment from the Kindness Matters set finishes off this simple card design.

Today is also the final day to get the GORGEOUS Peony Cluster set for free with a $75 order. A $75 order also gets you free US Shipping, so double yay! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Holiday Thank You

Hello Sweet Friends!  Sheri here today with a couple ideas for some Christmas Thank You cards.  I don't know about you but I love making special Thank You cards during the holidays to show my appreciation.

I wanted to use the NEW Wood Backgrounds stamp set which happens to be the December Stamp of the Month.  That means this set is FREE with any $75 order during the month of December.  I also used the Christmas Botanicals and Kindness Matters stamp sets to create my cards.

For my second card I did a little something different so I created a 4.25 x 4.25 square card.  I also not only fussy cut out the poinsettia but I also cut out the wood slice to create even more dimension.

Stamp Sets Used:

 

Don't forget that you can get the December Stamp of the Month set FREE with any $75 purchase in the month of December.

 Happy Stamping!

Scene Silhouette: Woodlands - Thank You

Hello Everyone!  Are you ready for the holidays?  I'm still running around trying to get everything ready but I thought I would share a Thank You card featuring the NEW Scene Silhouette: Woodlands stamp set.  This Set is FREE with a $60 order in the month of December.  The sentiment I used is from the Kindness Matters stamp set.  I came up with a festive looking design perfect to thank someone for their generosity during the holiday season along with being able to wish them a Happy New Year!  

It was super simple to put together and looks like you spent hours creating it.  I used paper scraps for the designer paper and gold mirror scalloped edge.  I tied ribbon around the popped up background and then I embossed the deer and sentiment.  Fancy touches....right?  But trust me this is one that can be massed produced and changed up depending on how many layers you would like to use.  The card measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".

Looking for a more masculine version...here's a card that I shared early in the week using the same stamp sets.  You get a totally different look by just changing up the colors.  The strips of gingham is actually washi tape that I found in Target's $ Spot...totally kicking myself for not buying more.

Don't forget that the Scene Silhouettes: Woodland is the December 2017 Stamp of the Month and is FREE with a $60 order through 12/31/17.

Happy Holidays!

you're too kind

Good morning!

 

Today I am sharing this card using the Long Stem Silhouettes and Kindness Matters stamp sets.

 

I added a 4 x 5 1/4" piece of white craft foam underneath the white panel (a Jennifer McGuire trick) to pop it up from the base.  I love how it gives a nice thickness and quality feel to the card.  The flowers were stamped 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation to give it some depth, and I used my trusty Bow-Easy tool to make a nice bow.  How pretty is that hand-written "kind"?

 

Have a great day!

Diane

 

Thank You

Hello Everyone!!  It's Sheri here with a Thank You card featuring the Fantastic Flowers and Kindess Matters stamp sets.  I love how by keeping the design very clean & simple that this card could be used for anyone.  I embossed the background using a Cuttlebug folder and then heat embossed the sentiment with fine detail white embossing powder.  I also used copic markers to color in the main image.  Hope this will inspire you to create some quick & simple cards.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

 

You're Too Kind

Hello, Sweet 'n Sassy friends! 

It's Ceal here to share a card with you today and I chose to work with the Fantastic Flowers and the Kindness Matters sets, these are two of the June releases and they are amazing! 

This card was super simple to make, using watercolor paper and archival ink, I randomly stamped the leaf image from the Fantastic Flowers set along the border of the card front and watercolored it with the Daniel Smith Pearlescent watercolors and then added a greeting from the Kindness Matters set. To finish the card I added it to a crumb Car card base.

Romans 8 and a thank you card

Good morning!

 

Today I am sharing two projects, a card and a bible journaling page, using the Fantastic Flowers stamp set.  The card I made also uses Kindness Matters.

 

This card is simple but very striking with the flower layered onto the white panel. I simply sponged 3 colors of ink onto white cardstock and stamped the flower on top in black. After I cut the flower out, I hated to throw away the leftover sponged piece, so I stamped the leaves, cut it down to the size I needed, and used it for my background.  I stamped the sentiment and added a few Nuvo drops to finish it off.

 

After my card was done, I loved the color combo and decided to re-create it in my bible. I chose Romans 8:37-39 to journal. The colors are a little more muted on the bible page but it still turned out fine. I masked the verse and purposely sponged the color lighter on the top left corner.

 

The same leaves and flower were stamped in black and highlighted a bit with a white pen. "Made for More" was stamped with the Love Ya Like A Sister Alpha. "Nothing can separate us..." was typed on my computer and cut out.

 

Have a great day!

Diane

Kindness Matters

Hello Everyone!!  It's Sheri here with another card using the NEW Kindness Matters stamp set.  I just love this set!!  I created this card for a sweet friend that I wanted to show that I appreciated her KINDNESS!!

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

 

Thank You for Your Kindness!

I am loving the great new stamps sets SNSS has this month and today's cards use a couple of them - Kindness Matters and  Fantastic Flowers. 

The sentiments in the Kindness Matters set are fantastic! They can be used on a variety of cards and the Flowers really are Fantastic - they are pretty big, but they are great and there are several to choose from including leaves.

For my first card, I played around with emboss resist and ink blending.

For the second one, I went pretty simple using the twig of leaves and water color (with Distress Inks). I colored it up twice, then created a 3D effect then added the "Thank you!" sentiment and that is all there is it. For some reason, this one really makes me happy.

Finally, I got out my Inktense pencils and a Grid stencil and created a background for the bigger sentiment. The background was a little bight so I went over it with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

This is really exciting - Now I have a thank you cards for my stash which is something I don't really think about too often so... yay!!

I hope today's cards provide you with a little inspiration! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Thank you for your Kindness

Hello friends, Stephanie here with a card for you using Fantastic Flowers and Kindness Matters both by Korin.  I colored with copics and the paper is by Echo Park.  I switched up my white stitching for black on this one.  Everything is on sale so hop on over and grab everything on your wish list!

Kindness Matters!

Happy Friday!

It's Ceal, here to share a card using two of the newest release stamp sets. I am in love with both of these sets. 

To make my card I started with a white top folding card base. I made a couple of backgrounds by using an old technique (shaving cream) with a new twist. After the backgrounds had dried I stamped the large flower and a couple leaves from the Fantastic Flowers set and fussy cut them out. 

The greeting is from the Kindness Matters set. I love this set because kindness does matter!
