The Day After

Hello stamping friends!

What did you think of our new release format yesterday?  Did you enjoy the hop and the challenges being stretched throughout the day?  I thought the hop was incredibly inspiring and I had a great time stamping for the challenges. :) I was able to complete all of the challenges yesterday....although I did get to work ahead on a few of them ;).

If you missed anything yesterday, don't worry---you can catch up today!!  There is still time to enter to win the entire release by blog hopping with us HERE and you have until Friday night to play along with our fun Virtual Stamping Day for more chances to win HERE. 

One of the challenges, hosted by Jessica Fick, was to use die cuts with patterned paper with a bonus challenge to stamp on the die cut so I made this super fast CAS card with our new Decorative Plaque Dies and The Sea stamp set.

I think it took me about 10 minutes to put it together.  I added some twine and crystal effects to give my card a bit more personality. :)  There's just something about a good clean and simple card, don't you think?

Here's a closer look at the stamp set and dies I used...

Thanks for visiting today!!

Until next time, happy stamping!!

There is a Blessing ~

I love sharing moments with loved ones! This adorable image from a DKowal design speaks that language loud and clear. The sentiment is one of the five included in this Together Silhouette set released in January! Everything from the images, sentiments and the fonts that come in this set compliment each other very well.

From the time I saw this set, I wanted to combine it with the Cloud & Raindrop die set! The paper pieced umbrella is fun to give dimension and the raindrops made it fun to create the showers of blessing depicted.

Why not try your own creation using the unique dies that SNSS has to offer!

Materials used: Together Silhouette, MME paper, Versafine black ink, SNSS die, Spellbinder, twine

Thanks! Have a great day!

~ Mary

Love You!

Hello! Giovana here with a Love card for you today. Last week I taught this card at church, a group of ladies got together and had fellowship, we laughed and talked and then we got creative. I showed the card in 2 colors and the Red card base was the winner :)
For this card I used the "Love You!" saying from Love from Rhurbarb Set, the kraft piece was die-cut and embossed using Circle Dies and I stamped the flourish image in half of the circle. I used the cute image from You Set.
I decorated my card using a piece of PP and the Heart Scallop Border Die, I also die-cut a big felt heart, I really love this heart shape :)

I added a paper flower and some ribbon.

Hope you like it!
Thanks so much for stopping by. 

Thoughtful Rhubarb

Happy Saturday everyone!  I made a quick card to share using the darling new Thoughtful Rhubarb clear stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  I paired him with the yummy Snowfall patterned paper from Bo Bunny - isn't he handsome surrounded by blue?  I finished him off with a fun heart - I am loving the hearts die set from SNSS!

I also added some pretty velvet flourish stickers from Stampendous to my card - they were originally white, but I sponged some ink on them to help them blend in with the papers a bit more.

Did you see the surprise announcement about the entire February release being available early?  Limited quantities are already in the store, so if you order now you might even get your stamps before the official release on Thursday, Feb 2!
