here for you

 Hello! Today I am sharing two summery cards using some cute Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps. 

Product links: Here For You, Tea For Two, Tea For Two Dies, and Summer Fruits.

My first card features a new set released this month called Here For You. I love how the word "you" is separate in each sentiment so it can easily be added in a contrasting color! I also used some flowers and a ladybug image from Tea For Two (such a CUTE set!). The panel on the left was created with overlapping washi tapes (Twisted Ribbon Technique).

The Summer Fruits stamp set is another favorite, so hard to choose which image to use! I decided on the lemons and paired them with some gingham papers.

Have a great day!

Sweet Valentines Using Old and New

 Hello!  

I have a couple of Valentines to share with you today, both of which are a mash up of old and new Sweet n Sassy Stamps Stamp Sets.  

This card is so easy; just 3 little stamps and done!  I stamped the airplane from the new Going Postal Stamp Set.  The 'old' is the wonderful heart 'jet stream', which is actually the steam from the Tea for Two Stamp Set.  I love this double duty for these hearts!  The sentiment is perfect for this combination of images and is from the Happy Mail Stamp Set.  And that's it!  No coloring, masking or anything time comsuming.  I added three die cut clouds and some patterned paper.  

Card number two also uses the Happy Mail Stamp Set~

I stamped two of the envelopes from the set multiple times and connected them with dashes.  At the end of the trail is the adorable hot dog from the Lots of Love Stamp Set, another 'oldie but goodie'.  The images were stamped on watercolor paper and colored in with Daniel Smith Watercolors.  The sentiment, from the Love Wordfetti Stamp Set, connects everything together.  

What do you have in your stash that you can mash together?  For Valentine's cards, these sets can't be beat!  

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed week!

Tea For Two

 

{jane bosi} If you haven't had the time to hop along with the Sweet N Sassy design team, please make sure you do!  The hop is full of  inspiration!

I like tea almost as much as I like coffee!! The new I Like Big Cups is perfect for both!

I started by creating a background piece using Coffee Talk 2 and then laying color and texture over the stamped sentiments with my gelpress plate.  

The images are water colored--isn't that tea bag just the sweetest?  After sponging a die cut frame, I added the images and then a sentiment from the Tea For Two set.

Simple, colorful and fun!

Have a great day -- Jane

National Coffee Day Blog Hop

Hi friends! It's Julee popping in with a super exciting blog hop today! We're so excited to be a Super Sponsor for the National Coffee Day Blog Hop. This is a traditional blog hop hosted by the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog with prizes for commenting. Each of the stops on the hop are hosting their own giveaway, so you'll definitely want to grab yourself a cup of something awesome and hop along!

We've got a few caffeinated creations to share, along with our giveaway info, so be sure to read to the end and comment for a chance to win!

It's no secret that I'm a huge coffee lover, so making this card was on the top of my list of favorite things to create this month! I think Korin loves coffee *almost* as much as me, so there are a number of coffee/tea/cocoa related sets in the shop. And most of them just happen to be included in our Sweet & Sentimental Sale going on through September 30! Hooray!

I started with the coffee cup from Jesus & Coffee, stamping in no line fade out ink and then coloring in with Chameleon Fineliners.  I then masked off the cup and added a background from Texture Tiles 2 as a table  for it to rest on.  The leaves are from the Give Thanks set and I watercolored them using Chameleon Fineliners, then fussy cut and slit a little bit around the coffee cup with an x-acto knife to tuck them in. This sentiment from Life & Lemons is one of my favorites, and I embossed it in sparkle gold, then finished off with some patterned paper.

This next beauty by Sheri Gilson also features our Jesus & Coffee set. I love that big bow, the classy color combos, and the coffee stamp border. So sweet!

And this darling card by Jane Bosi combines the sweet Cocoa's Cups set with our September Stamp of the Month, Donut Worry. (Our stamp of the month is FREE with a purchase of $75 in the month of September.) Donuts and coffee are the perfect pairing! She finishes off with a lovely sentiment from the Fill Me Up set and some textured circles from the Grunge Elements 2 set.

Korin shares a spot of tea with us featuring the adorable Tea for Two set and the Delightfully Delicate Background.

And Janelle and Stephanie from our Creative Worship team, share these fabulous pages featuring the Fill Me Up set.

Perfect Blend

Hi friends! It's Julee popping in to share one of my favorite creations from this month.

This card uses the darling Tea for Two set. I just love the sweet images in this set and have crazy love for both coffee and tea. This particular color combo reminds me of a very special friend, so I thought this sentiment would be perfect.

To start the card, I colored in the fabulous pot, mug, and tea bag images with Copic markers and then fussy cut.  To create a backdrop for the images, I stamped one of the backgrounds from this awesome set on a circle, then blended with squeezed lemonade distress oxide.  I matted this with a scalloped black circle die cut and then layered my images, tucking the little teabag string behind the pot.

The sentiment is stamped on a strip of white cardstock, then I accented it with the heart steam image from the set and then colored with Copics and a gold gel pen. The background paper is from the Coffee collection by Echo Park and I finished off with a black mat and a white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Friendship Warms the Heart

Hello sweet friends!  Cathy here and I have a couple of cards to share with you today using products from the August release.  First up is a card created with the Tea For Two stamp set.  What a cute set...perfect for sending warm wishes!

A background was created with some papers from my stash and a little stamped texture using one of the stamps from the Texture Tiles 3 stamp set.  The steam from the Tea for Two stamp set was stamped over the texture and a heart shaped frame was cut using some Spellbinders Dies.  The teapot, cups and tea bag were colored with Copic Markers, cut with my Scan 'N Cut and popped onto the card.  The split sentiment was embossed above and below the heart frame to finish the card.

My second card features the Stamp of the Month which is available free with a $75 purchase until the end of the month.

Twilight and Sand Castle inks were swiped down a sheet of white card stock.  The wood grain stamp from Texture Tiles 2 was used with Black Jack ink to create texture.  A wood grain texture plate was then used to emboss the panel before it was cut into four sections.  The sections were mounted to a piece of pink card stock.  A Tim Holtz die was used to cut two spirals and the bird from the Singing Praises stamp set was Copic colored to resemble a bluebird, cut with the Scan 'N Cut and mounted to the card.  A sentiment from Sentimental Wordfetti was embossed on a banner die cut to finish the card.

The stamp sets used are available from the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Cathy

You're my cup of tea

Hello Sweet 'N Sassy Friends!  Sheri here today with a couple cards featuring the NEW Tea for Two stamp set illustrated by Jennifer Nilsson.

***THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO YOU***  

This new tea set is so sweet!  I just had to create my own pattern paper with some of the images in the set so I randomly stamped the cup and tea bag and colored them with copic markers. It's a fun way to use the little stamps in a set and to get the colors to coordinate perfectly.

  

For my second card I created a 4.25" Square card.

Don't forget about our Stamp of the month! It's FREE with any $75 order!

Make sure to join us tomorrow for the August Release Blog Hop!  There will be lots of inspiration and a GIVEAWAY!!

 

Happy Stamping!!
