Did you hear the news? Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is turning 14 in November and they have a month of fun things planned to celebrate! So exciting!
A birthday celebration means a new birthday set! Joyful Day by Julee Tilman is full of sweet and some sassy sentiments. You know I just had to play with the sassy ones first. I paired the sentiment from Joyful Day with some previously released sets(both are on sale though November 7th).
I stamped the background and images with Versafine Claire Nocturne ink on white cardstock and the sentiment on Barely Banana cardstock then heat set. I colored the images with Altenew Artist Markers and fussy cut out.
I added some green stars to the background with the Starry Night Stencil and Sprout ink. I wanted to double mat my background but did not have the right green cardstock. So, I cut my mat from white and inked up the edges with the Sprout ink to create a coordinated look.
I assembled the card as seen, popping the sentiment and images up with foam tape and adding a few gold stars to complete the card.
Did you know our Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps VIP Group hosts a monthly challenge? November's theme is birthday in honor of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps turning 14. If your not already a member we would love to have you join us and participate in the fun.
This sale 👇ends Sunday night.

Today's card features Sweet Dreams Bunny Digital and Starry Night Stencil
for a sweet nighttime baby card. I started this card in June when the
digi was released and finally finished it up this month. Sometimes, I intend to finish something right away, but it actually ends of sitting in a pile of stuff to do. Anyone else do this too?
I printed the sweet bunny image and sentiment on regular white cardstock. I colored the image with watercolors and once dry, fussy cut out. Next, I created the galaxy sky background with distress oxide inks(picked raspberry, dusty concord, cracked pistachio and chipped sapphire). When I was satisfied with the blending I spritzed with water and blotted with a paper towel after 1-2 minutes and set aside to dry. Once dry, I splattered white pigment ink, diluted with a little bit of water, with a small round brush and let dry again. Then using the starry night stencil I added stars by gently using the same pigment ink(yeti). I wanted the starts to be soft white instead of a bold white so it didn't compete with my focal image.
I die cut the panel and started messing with placement of the image and sentiment. At this point, I decided to add the white string and ink blend the sentiment with cracked pistachio distress oxide ink. I assembled the card and popped the image up with foam tape. I still felt like it needed something else. So I dug through my stash and found the small stars which just happened to be the perfect shades to work with my card. Plus, they fit the stenciled stars perfectly. Score!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Good morning! I'm back with a few cards for this month’s Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps release. I have several cards today using the Oh Baby Stamp & Die Bundle (also sold separately) and the stamp of the month, Grunge Stripe Background. I also used the Starry Night Stencil and Stars Dies.
For my first card, I started with the Grunge Stripe Background and then turned it 90° and stamped it again to create a plaid. I used the Starry Night Stencil and Stars Dies to coordinate with the stars in the stamp set.
This next card is super fun! I made a bunch for some friends' birthdays with a butterfly on the front and they loved them. I thought this sweet baby carriage would be super cute too! I found the directions for this fun fold card here.
For my last card, I was playing around with stamping the onesie image onto several different scraps of patterned paper from the same pad. I had enough stamped and cut to make three baby girl mini slim cards with this simple layout!
Esther (from Shoregirl's Creations) here today sharing two masculine cards I created with the NEW Everyday Greetings 2 stamp set. Both of them are no-coloring cards, though the second one has plenty of color on it!
This first card is a fun birthday card that features the Gear Up and Time Well Spent sets as well as the Typewriter Text Background . The watch and sentiment were stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink while the grunge elements were stamped in walnut stain distress ink.

My second card is a silhouette card. The background is
dusty concord, chipped sapphire, speckled egg, stormy sky distress ink
blended together to form sky and water. I used just a bit of white
pigment ink to lighten up the center of my card and create the illusion
of moonlight across the water. To add a little twinkle to my night sky, I spread some white gesso through the Starry Night Stencil.
The lighthouse and trees are from the Landscape Silhouettes set, and I added grass along the bottom with Scene Silhouettes: Tall Grass and the Cattail Die. The waves were created with a small stamp from Scene Silhouettes: Trees. All the stamping was done in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.
