Let's Celebrate

 

Sweet 'n Sassy is turning 14 years old this month and we are celebrating the entire month with weekly sales this week you can save 20% on all the Birthday and Sentiment stamp sets 

My card uses the Vintage Van set colored up in Sweet 'n Sassy colors ready to deliver all the presents. I used the Coordinating dies to cut out the images after I colored them and for the background I used the Grunge Dots Stencil. The sentiment is from the Rose Banner set which is also on sale. 

Be sure to stop back by and check out the weekly sales and releases 

It's just a warm up....

{janebosi}  Hey Friends!  We've had so much coffee goodness with this month's release--and, let's face it, 'tis the season for warm cozy drinks.  We've hit a cold snap here in Wisconsin and have been in "feels like" below zero temperatures for a good week now! It is time to enjoy the cocoa, coffee, tea--whatever to keep those insides toasty.

Tomorrow, we have a super fun collab coffee blog hop so today I thought I'd warm you up a little with a few other goodies I've been working on.

My first two shares feature the Going Postal set.  This gorgeous vintage set was designed by .  The scripty image is actually handwriting of a beloved member of her family.  I just love that!  There is something so intimate and comforting about a loved ones' handwriting.  I have an autograph book from my childhood--when those were a thing!  I love seeing the penmanship of my grandparents, parents and aunts and uncles.  

This card also features images from Rose Banner

This card also features a floral from Flower Garden.

The little gnomie from Winter Gnomes pairs perfectly with a sentiment from the new Coffee Talk 2 set.  Who doesn't relate to "coffee before talkie?" I added some stripes to the background piece with the new Background Builders: Stripes set as well.

I used the Background Builders: Stripes set on this fun birthday card, too.  Nothing says "Happy Birthday" quite like rainbows and unicorns.  Both along with the gems and sentiments are from one of my favorite "adorable animals" sets:  Be Unique.

That's all for today!  Please come back tomorrow for more inspiration and a fun hop!

Two Cards, Same Color Palette

Hello! 

I hope you are enjoying all of the new release inspiration; I have been having so much fun creating with the August stamps. 

I decided it would be fun to make two completely different cards , but in the same color palette.  Let's start with the more subtle of the two~

This beauty is from the stamp set, Bushel of Blessings; the image is stamped on Neenah Solar White cs and colored with Copics.  I am really trying to loosen up in my coloring; I hope it shows here!   I used a sentiment from the set as well- don't you just love the font!!?! - and stamped it in a dark brown ink.  Then I embellished the image panel with layers of patterned paper and cardstock.  A few sequins and a hemp twine bow finish it off. 

Next up, the EXACT same marker colors, using the Like a Sunflower Stamp Set.   

Yep, this one is BOLD!  I stamped the image multiple times on Neenah Solar white cs with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored the images and the background with the Copic markers.  I also added Glossy Accents to the flower centers. The sentiment, from the Rose Banner Stamp Set, was heat embossed in white on black cs.  I die cut a small circle from a sponged scrap panel I had sitting on my desk and used it to ground the sentiment strip. 

Here are the marker colors that I used~

That's it for me!  Don't forget, you can get a great discount on this month's release when you buy all 4 stamp sets! 

And with a $75 purchase you get the August Stamp of the Month for Free! 

And if that isn't enough, a $75 purchase gets you FREE shipping!  (US only)

Have a crafty day!

Doodle Florals

Happy Monday, Sweet 'n Sassy Stampers!

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

I have been under the weather for a few days and it has been rainy, gloomy, foggy and now its snow again so I needed something springy and this new set, Doodle Florals was perfect to make a spring floral card to lift the spirits of someone who needs it. This is also the March Stamp of the Month, which means you can earn it free with a $75 purchase and you would also qualify for free first class shipping. How cool is that!?!

To create this card I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel cut down a quarter of an inch smaller. I randomly stamped the floral images using Versamark ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder. Next I used a Life Changing Blending Brush to add pink for the flowers and then stamped the leaves using Gina K Lucky Clover ink and colored them with a Copic Marker.
To finish the card I added it the panel to the card base and added a greeting from the Rose Banner set.

Teacup Roses

Good morning! I am sharing some cards today using Sweet ‘n Sassy stamps from the July Release. I used Teacup Roses and my first card also uses Rose Banner, which coordinates nicely! The sentiments in this set are just lovely and very useful. I sponged the background, then added half of a paper doily and some pearls.

For the second card, I die cut an oval window in the front and placed my teacup image on the inside to peek through. The sentiment strip spans the open window. The bottom cup and the roses were paper pieced.

I adore this teacup! It makes beautiful cards.

Have a great day!

Rose Banner x3

Hello! I am sharing a couple cards today using a new Sweet ‘n Sassy stamp set from the April Release. This is the April Stamp of the Month set, called Rose Banner, and it's free with your $75 purchase through 4/30/18!

 

For my first card, I stamped the top of the roses twice onto a strip of white cardstock, cut around the top of the roses, and layered them over an embossed panel. The roses were colored with Copics.

 

For my second card, I first scored a piece of tan cardstock diagonally every inch in both directions. Then I masked and sponged the squares to make a tiled or quilted look. Then I placed the rose stamp in my MISTI tool and inked it with Distress Chipped Sapphire. I had a few missed spots and an idea hit. lol.  Instead of re-inking and stamping with the same color, I inked it with Distress Peacock Feathers. This gave a nice two-toned image!

My third card is a CAS one...again using my MISTI. Here I stamped it twice with 2 colors. The second time was stamped on a diecut panel and layered over the first one.

Have a great day!

A Mother's Love and Rose Banner

Hi friends, It's been awhile since I posted and it's good to be back! Today I have a couple cards I am sharing with you the first using a new release set called A Mother's Love, just in time for all your Mother's Day cards.  I love Silhouette Stamps because they make for quick and easy card.  I stamped the image with Versafine ink and then used embossing powder.  The paper is from DCWV.

 My second card is using Rose Banner which is free if you spend $75 during the month of April.  I've stamped with Versamark ink and used White embossing powder, then I used 3 different colors of Distress Oxide ink to make the background and then stamped the sentiment in black ink and used clear embossing powder.   Make sure you stop by the store or scroll on the blog to see the other new release sets this month!

Don't Worry

Hello everyone! Today I want to share another card with the beautiful rose banner flower.

The rose is pretty big and I love that it's already beautiful if you only use a part of the flower. I stamped the flower on marker paper and colored it with alcohol markers. I masked the bottom part of the stamp so I could add the pattern on the bottom on the same paper. I used a stencil and some inks to create the pattern. I covered the line between the rose and the pattern with a pink ribbon.

I stamped the message 'don't worry' on a piece of black paper with a white ink. After that I cut it out and adhered it onto my card. I used a black and white background paper and added a couple of sequins to finish the card.

  

I used the stamp set of the month 'Rose Banner'. You can earn this set for free with a $75 order through the month of April. For the message I used the set 'just say Jesus'.

Rose Banner

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Stampers!

It's Ceal, here today to share with you a card featuring our Stamp of the Month, Rose Banner. You can earn this set free with a $75 order through the month of April. 

To create my this card I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel cut down with a scalloped stitched die. I stamped the rose image with Ink on 3 Blackout detail ink and colored it with Copic markers. Using the Mini Misti I added the greeting on the banner to finish the card. 

Fun with Rose Banner

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Friends!  I hope you have been enjoying the new April Release!  I've been having fun with the new Stamp of the Month for April 2018.  Not only is this beautiful stamp set designed by Nina Brackett fun to use, but you can get it for free with a $75 purchase...however, only until the end of April 30th. 

I have a set of four cards using the Rose Banner and Texture Tiles 1 stamp sets to share with you today.

A background was made using different colors of Oxide inks on mixed media paper.  Texture was added using the Texture Tiles and coordinated ink colors.  The rose image was placed in my Misti tool and stamped with archival ink.  The rose and leaves were then painted with white gesso.  The panel was put back into the Misti and stamped again with archival ink.  A light wash of color was then added to portions of the flower and the leaves using watered down Oxide inks.

Different sentiments from the Rose Banner set were stamped on each card.

Thank you so much for stopping by...have a blessed day!

Hugs,

Cathy
