Simply Amazing

Today's card is the kind of card I love to create! The one that will lift someone up with a beautiful sentiment and kind words inside.

 

 

I began by creating the background. I used the Vintage Doily stencil with basic gray ink on a lighter gray cardstock. Then, I stamped the Script Background with the same ink over the top of it and cut with a stitched edge rectangle die. I stamped the sentiment from My Thoughts of You on the panel with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. I matted the panel with black and attached to a basic gray card base. 

I stamped the butterfly from Begin Again on white cardstock, blended honeysuckle and cranberry ink on the wings and fussy cut out. I popped the butterfly up with foam tape and added some black jewels to finish it off.

 

 

**The stencil and butterfly set are part of the current sale that ends tonight.**

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy friends! 

It's Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a card featuring our Stamp of the Month, Heartfelt Thoughts.  You will receive this set free with a $60 order. This is a great set to have on hand for sending encouragement cards. 

To create my card I started with a white top folding card base and the Vintage Lace Doily stencil which reminds me so much of my grandma's house and Villainous Potion ink which I love!  I used a blending brush to distribute the ink over the stencil and to finish the card I added sequins because who doesn't love a little sparkle

Until next time,

Happy Stamping! 

Wish Big

Hi Sweet 'n Sassy friends! It's Julee popping in to share a little inspiration with some stampy goodness. We're celebrating 14 years of Sweet 'n Sassy this month with weekly mini releases + sales!  This week's sale is 20% off stamps in our Backgrounds and Creative Worship Stamps categories. While supplies last, through November 14.

Today I'm going to share a few cards that feature stamps from these two categories. First up is one combining the NEW Script Background (just released on Monday) with my Joyful Day set (new this month), and a previously released Creative Worship set, Old Fashioned Alpha.

I placed the Script Background in my MISTI, then inked up with a rainbow of Catherine Pooler mini inks and stamped. I then went over the stamp lightly with a waterbrush and stamped again to give a little watercolor effect to the script. When this was dry I lightly blended the same color of ink over each color of stamping on the background. The cupcakes are from the Joyful Day set and colored with Copics and then fussy cut.  I then used the Old Fashioned Alpha set to create the wish big sentiment. I finished off with some sequins and bling.

My next card uses the beautiful Creative Worship: Wonder of Wonders set from our October release.  I colored up these rejoicing women with Copic markers, then trimmed around with scissors.  The sentiment from Timeless Hymns is embossed in white onto purple cardstock. I then stenciled the Vintage Doily Stencil onto white cardstock with villainous potion distress ink. 

My third card features the Spectacular Snowflakes set from our Backgrounds category.  I stamped them randomly in versafine clair fallen leaves onto kraft cardstock, then added a little ink blending around the edges.  The focal snowflake is created with the Large Snowflakes Die Set. I die cut the snowflake three times, then layered together for dimension.  I then inked the edges with brown ink.  Next I coated the entire snowflake with versamark ink and embossed with sparkle embossing powder.  This is added to my card with dimensional foam tape for some extra life.  The sweet little tag is from the Mini Tags Die Set, and I stamped the Noel sentiment from Christmas Wordfetti on it, then tied with some string.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you're inspired to create something today.

Thanks so much!

Vintage Doily Love

Hi Sweet 'n Sassy fiends! It's Julee popping in today to share a couple of cards I created recently with the new Vintage Doily Stencil and my Endless Love set. This stencil is absolutely dreamy!

For my first card I stamped the cross and poinsettia (doing a little masking) from Endless Love on white cardstock and then colored with Copics. I then masked off the main parts of the cross and poinsettia (not worrying about the smaller branches) and inked over with antique linen and the doily stencil.  I loved the warm glow of it so much that I decided to use the same ink and stencil for my card base layer. I finished off with some foam tape under the cross image and the Merry Christmas sentiment centered below.

My second card uses the same poinsettia stamp and cross image from Endless Love, but this time I stamped the poinsettia multiple times and then colored and cut different portions of the flower to get some variations in size.  I colored and cut the cross image, then layered one of the smaller poinsettias in the center.  The sentiment is from the new Wonder of Wonders set and I stenciled the background with antique linen and the Vintage Doily Stencil.  A few strips of patterned paper and one of the Doily Border Dies finishes things off.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! If you haven't already, be sure to check out all the fun new holiday products in the shop this month.
