Leafy Flourish

Hi there Sweet 'n Sassy Stampers and thanks for stopping by!

It's Ceal here to share a card made with this week's feature stamp set. Today is the last day that you can get this beautiful background stamp Leafy Flourish Backgrounds & More, for the low price of $23.40 no coupon needed. 

To get the colorful background,  I inked up the background stamp in Versamark ink and stamped off once to get the subtle look, then sponged different colors Pan Pastels over the background. Next I stamped the image from the set Sunshine & Flowers and colored the stems, leaves and outlined the lowers with Copic markers.

Here are the two sets I used on my card

Thinking of You

Hi there... Jennie here again guest designing for the month of February. Today I wanted to share card springy card using the stamp set:  Sunshine & Flowers.

I stamped the image using Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. I colored in the image using Distress markers and generously sponged the background using distress inks. The sentiment is from Flower Blocks 2 and I finished it off by stamping the Friendship Script background over the panel and added a wooden veneer.

Here are the stamps I used:

 Sunshine & Flowers

Kay Jantz

*Please email jacquie@sweetnsassystamps.com to claim your prize!

Alrighty,  I have a little card creation to share with you all!!  Have you had a chance to check out this week's Friday Feature stamp set?  This week's Feature was the Sunshine & Flowers Clear Stamp Set and it is such a CUTE set!  Take a look!

What do you think?  SWEET, huh?  You can create ANYTHING with this one!  Anything from a CAS project to an elaborate project, this set is FUN to work with!

For my card I used large daubers to sponge different hues of blue and green SU Ink, onto a piece of GP white cardstock. then I stamped my main flower image and sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black.  I used this particular ink, so I could go back in and add a little color to my flowers, with my Copic Markers.  The Memento Ink does not bleed when you color with markers and that is AWESOME!  After that was done, I had to go back and add some light yellow sequins.  I am pretty sure I am STUCK on the whole sequin thing!  Haha!  Once all my elements were added, I then mounted it on a SU Old Olive Cardstock base.  AND?  Voila!

Hope you enjoyed my card share and don't forget to play along with our Friday Feature Challenge, just click the LINK and you can join the fun!  There is STILL time; you have until tonight at MIDNIGHT EST!!  We cannot wait to see what you come up with!  Have a WONDERFUL day!

What a Pear!

Hello Everyone!

Summer is almost here!  Here in St Louis, we only have 1 more week of school, then the pressure will be off!  These last few weeks have been full- showers, wedding, retirement dinners and parties - and spring has zoomed by.
 I needed a wedding card and pulled out one of my all time favorite sets, Punny Fruits and Veggies.

With watercoloring being so trendy right now, I decided to get out my water brush and reinkers to color my pears.

 To get my side by side pears, I stamped one then masked it, then stamped the second to make it look like it is just behind the first.  I decided I did not want the smiley face on the pears, so I masked that off before I stamped the images.  Once colored, I fussy cut the image out.
I used the vintage frame from the Vintage Seed Packet Stamp Set to frame my pears.  The sentiment is actually a combination of words from two different sentiments in the Punny Fruits and Veggies Stamp Set. 
Our most current Friday Feature Stamp Set is Sunshine and Flowers. 

Once again, I used the masking technique as I stamped my cascade of daises.  The daisy centers are colored with Copics.  For a bit of an added grunge look, I used the Grunge Elements Stamp Set, and stamping off once, added bits of the image around the daisies.
 Can you tell I love the current trendy color combo of black, grey and yellow?  :)
I hope you can play along with us in our Friday Feature Challenge!  You have until Thursday, May 29th to play.

Thanks so much for stopping by; I hope I have inspired you to get inky!

Good morning!  Here's a quick & easy CAS card today.  I used my Sunshine & Flowers stamp set.  I love how you can color it OR make a quick card with it that requires little to no coloring.  (I have another CAS card using this set that I will share on our hop tomorrow... be sure to hop along with us!)

The banner was hand cut and the single bloom was colored with Copics and popped up on a foam dot.  Half of a 4" doily gives it some whimsical charm.  Very easy!

Thanks for stopping by!

spring flowers

Good morning!  Now that spring is finally here, I am anxiously awaiting for spring flowers! My tulips are up but have not bloomed yet.  The only color in my yard is from the dandelions but I'll take it!  Anything except white is looking good.  lol.

Today I have 2 cards to bring on the flowers and COLOR!  My first card came about by just playing around and I really liked the results.  I am calling this Color Strips.

Want to make this card?  It's easy!  I have a quick tutorial here on my blog.  The Sweet 'n Sassy silhouette stamps are beautiful, timeless, and so easy to create with!  I used Nature Silhouettes for this card and the sentiment is from Special Blend.

My second card was made with my new Sunshine & Flowers stamp set from this month's release.  The sentiment is from Celebrate Today.

I hope you enjoy them both and they inspire you to bring cheery colors to your projects.  Enjoy your day!

♥ Diane

Wishing you a lovely day.

Hello friends, Giovana here today with a "Clean and Simple" card using Sunshine & Flowers Set. For this project I die-cut 3 little labels from White cardstock and stamped the flower in different spots. Colored the flowers with Spectrum Noir Markers: CR4, CR5, CR6 and GB6, then stamped the sentiment in Coffee Archival Ink, added the little labels to white panel with dimensionals, added a strip of Patterned Paper.
After the card as finished, I covered the petals with Stickles and the centers of flowers with Crystal Lacquers.

Hope you like it!

Have a great day.

Wishing you

Hello friends! Giovana here today with a very clean and simple card for you. For this project I used Sunshine & Flower Clear Set, just released. I used the little flower from this set and stamped it all over the bottom edge, then cut around the edges and added a piece of Strawberry Blush cardstock to create a fun border. I die-cut a stitched label from Bookmark & More Dies set and stamped the sentiment in Coffee Archival Ink.
The flowers were colored with Spectrum Noir Markers, also added Crystal Lacquer and clear glitter to all the flower centers, added red ribbon and the card was done :)

Hope you like it!
Have a fantastic day!

May Flowers

Hi folks and welcome to Monday!!!  I'm sharing a quick and easy one layer card today, showcasing a darling new set, Sunshine and Flowers.  This sweet set features this large floral stamp along with a whole bunch of individual flower stamps (think endless laying possibilities!) and three sentiments...all for only $15!

My Copic Markers have been feeling lonely so I decided to simply stamp on a cardstock base and spend some time coloring.  Once my image was stamped and colored, I added a sentiment and a big 'ol bow (my ribbon is lonely too!  It's been too long since I've played with ribbon...)

A super clean and simple card to start the week!  I hope you enjoy and be sure to check out all of this month's new sets...just click here! 

Happy Crafting!

Wishing You Sunshine & Flowers

The adorable doodled flowers were stamped in Rich Cocoa ink and colored with Copic Markers.  One of the flowers was colored twice and popped up for dimension.  A Wink of Stella marker was used to add shimmer to the flowers making them sparkle.  Glossy Accents and micro beads were added to the centers of the flowers, and stitching, Baker's Twine, and Enamel Dots finish off the card.  Happy, happy!
