Happy 4th of July

Hello everyone, and happy 4th of July to all of our sweet American friends!  Hope you will be able to celebrate and take time to remember and be thankful for all of the sacrifices that have been made to ensure our freedoms in this wonderful country!  I think we sometimes forget how truly blessed we are!

Scribble Flowers and Grunge Elements were randomly stamped in blue, red, and light blue on the background.  Summer Fun Winnie was colored with Copic Markers and her banner fussy cut and popped up for dimension.  Half circles in red, white, and blue were added to complete the patriotic theme while enamel dots add to the festive look.

Be sure to check out the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog and our Facebook Page this Friday, July 7th... Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps will be releasing four new stamp sets.  Here is a little sneak peek using one of the fabulous stamp sets that will be included in the July Release:

Distress inks were sponged on a background panel of mixed media paper.  Water was spritzed through a rays stencil to remove some of the ink.  The Hymn Block was embossed on white and yellow card stock so portions of the hymn could be highlighted and some of the letters were colored with Copic Markers.  A sun cut with one of the Beach Dies, stitching, and enamel dots were added to finish the card.

The following products used to make these cards are currently available from the 

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store:

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a wonderful 4th of July!

Hugs,

Summer Fun

Hello! It's Monika here today, with a super SWEET card. I don't want summer to end so let's pretend it's still hot outside... and let's enjoy a cool and refreshing treat!

I used the cute images from Summer Fun Winnie clear stamp set to add to my hand drawn lines. The images and background were water colored with Tom Holtz distress inks.

To make it extra yummy an messy, I splashed orange ink over the dried background... so much fun playing around with your water color.

The greeting is from Keep in Touch Too clear stamp set.

Thank you for stopping by,

Monika

Birthday Wishes with Winnie

Hello everyone! Today I want to show you a card that's made with the stamps from Summer Fun Winnie  (and a little word from Winnie's Warm Wishes).

I stamped Winnie and the little banner with a black ink on kraft cardstock. I colored her with colored pencils from Derwent (coloursoft). These pencils have a lot of pigment in them so they work pretty well on kraft papers. I used a stencil and white ink for the background.

 

Have a nice day!

Summer Fun Winnie easel card

Hello! It's Monika here today, with a fun Winnie card. I decided to add an easel fold to my card... which is super easy and it takes your card to a different level.

It is just one fold! It's how easy it is... just score the front panel... you do have to plan the elements, but it is rather fun designing what would work, what would look nice.
I used Summer Fun Winnie and Winnie's Garden clear stamp sets. I stamped the images with Jet Black Archival ink on water color paper and colored them with Prismacolor water color pencils.
The cutting was a bit tedious, but well worth it, don't you think?

The background was die-cut with Hillside Edges die set. You can tell I love using these dies... they are the perfect backdrop to scenes...

The greeting is from Keep In Touch Too clear stamp set.

For the inside, you need something that holds the folded panel up... I used the little punched flower... but even a strip of cardstock (preferably popped up on dimensional tape) would work...

 

Thank you for stopping by,

Monika

Happy Independence Day with Winnie

Hello Sweet Friends!  Julie here to share a fun patriotic card designed with the brand new Summer Fun Winnie clear stamp set (designed by Wynne Gettelfinger) for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps using a Splitcoaststampers sketch and color challenge...I think this cute new stamp set has so many great images for summer celebrations- don't you?

To create this card, I stamped the banner from Summer Fun Winnie with black archival ink first onto a piece of white cardstock (then stamped again onto sticky note paper to fussy-cut a mask), masked the banner, stamped the girl image over the masked banner (again, with archival black ink) and created a mask for the girl.

Next, I masked all of the images, used a modified version of the Smakin’ Acetate technique to create the contemporary “flag” background (add ink to a clear envelope  with markers in a loose flag design, spritz with water, “smack” the edges together, open the envelope and press the paper in to the ink).

I decided that the background was a bit too "loose" so I wanted to define the "flag" a bit by stamping the smaller splatter stamp from Grunge Elements with the denim blue ink in the “star” area and use the smaller line image with the cherry ink for the "stripes".

I finished off the card by coloring the Winnie image with water based markers, added the heart border using the Hearts and Stars Scallop Border Dies (cut the star border die four times) along with the tag sentiment and button/silver cord detail.

Thanks again for visiting us today- hugs and have a blessed week, sweet friends!

happy fourth!
