Blue Christmas

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Friends, 

it's Ceal here to share with you today a Christmas card using an older but gorgeous set. I used the Winter Blessings set along with the Christmas Sentiments.  

To make this card I started with a white top folding card base and stamped the Winter Blessings in versamark ink to cover most of the front, next I embossed it in white and then sponged Chipped Sapphire distress ink over the embossed snowflakes. I added the greeting at the bottom stamped in Chipped Saphire and embossed with clear embossing powder. To finish the card and clean it up (from the sponging) I added a strip of silver glitter wash tape.

My Friend

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Friends!  Cathy here with several cards to share with you today.  November is a busy month for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps…we are celebrating our 9th birthday all month long!  We started our month long festivities with a new release.  My Friend, one of the new stamp sets released, was an addition to the Jesus line of stamps designed by Krista Hamerick.

How sweet is this image!

We are continuing our birthday celebration with Daily Deals on our Facebook page, weekly specials, and a chance to win a $99 Shopping Spree!

This week's special is 20% off all Fall and Christmas stamp sets.

Leaf Silhouettes provided the perfect accents for this fun fall card.  The sentiment is from the Inspirational Word Art 2 stamp set.

Christmas Pine, Music to My Ears, and the Scallop Border Die were used to create this Christmas card on Kraft card stock.

About twenty ladies from church got together yesterday to make Christmas cards.  Since some of the ladies had never stamped before I kept the card designs pretty simple.  This card featuring Winter Blessings was one of the cards we made.  The sentiment is from the Poinsettias & Candles stamp set designed by Diane Zechman.

Be sure to take advantage of the Fall & Christmas Special…with every purchase of $9 or more, your name will be entered for the $99 Shopping Spree!

Thanks so much for stopping by…be sure to stop back often to check out future specials and see more fabulous projects by the creative team!

Christmas Wishes

Merry Christmas week, Sweet Friends!  Julie here to share a card created with three sets- Peace of God, Winter Blessings and We Three Kings. I think it is fabulous that we can mix and match Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and they work so well together :-)

I just love the Tufted Titmouse image along with all of the sentiments and verses in the Peace of God stamp set, don’t you?  

My hubby and I love watching birds and “Tufty” as we like to call him (or her), is one of our all-time favs! Along with chickadees, they dart into the feeders and grab a peanut and/or seed and "run" :-)  So much energy and such a joy to watch for sure!

This card was fun to create with a bit of watercoloring, masking, stenciling, sewing, die-cutting (with the Doily Border Dies), dry embossing and of course, layering- well, I just decided to throw everything into the mix- lol!!

Woohoo!  Only two more days until we celebrate Christmas- Merry Christmas to all of you and I hope you have a blessed New Year!!

Winter Blessings

Happy Tuesday Sweet 'n Sassy friends!

 It's Ceal here, I hope you enjoyed our birthday hop yesterday and if you don't know what I am talking about scroll down and hop along to see some beautiful eye candy. It's  our birthday month and all month long we are going to be sharing some throwback inspiration of some of our older products. and some fun facts from the design team. 

I am featuring the Bare Tree Die. This die is very versatile, You could use cut it out in brown add some flowers to it to be a spring tree, add some leaves to be a summer or fall tree or use it as a winter tree as I did. 

Excuse my photo, I am in the middle of a huge move and they packed my room today so I had to make due with a place to photograph my cards.

To make my card I used the Bare Tree Die, the Hillside Edges and one of our newer sets Winter Blessings 

Winter Grunge

Hello friends!  Happy Wednesday…hope you are having a wonderful week.  Cathy here with some wintery cards to share using two of the new stamp sets just released by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  I just love using the new Winter Blessings and Grunge Elements 2 stamp sets!

Last week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches was used for the design of this card.  The ink splotch from Grunge Elements 2 was randomly stamped on the background using Evergreen Bough, Mermaid Lagoon, and Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink.  The glittery strip down the side was made by embossing a Neenah Solar Crest strip with Hologram Highlights Embossing Powder.  After clear embossing the Winter Blessings background, the same three colors of distress ink were sponged over the embossing creating an ombre effect. The sentiment was stamped on another panel using the same colors.  Some metallic thread and rhinestones were added to finish the card.
Here's a tip: I didn't have card stock to perfectly match these colors so I rubbed the Blueprint Sketch ink pad directly onto the edges of white card stock to make the matt for each panel.  Voila!  Instant matching card stock!

Check out MY BLOG to see the details for this card.

These stamp sets were used to make both cards:

If you've not had a chance to see all the wonderful stamps and dies released last week, hop on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store and check them out!  Some of our favorite sets have just been restocked as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Winter Blessings Quilt (Sneak Peek)

Hello there friends,  Julie here to share a card that I created using Peace of God (for the sentiment) along with a sneak peek of Winter Blessings (to be released on 10/16/15).

I just love the new set, Winter Blessings and decided to use this set to create my own "Designer"  Paper :-)

To create this card:

Side view to show a sneak peak of the new
Winter Blessings Stamp Set 

Sponge several different purple inks onto a piece of white cardstock, dry the ink thoroughly (you can use a Heat Tool for this step), ink the new Winter Blessing stamp with an Embossing Ink and stamp over the sponged panel, apply White Embossing Powder and heat set it with the Heat Tool.

To create the “quilt”, use a 1 ¼” Square Punch to punch out the squares from the newly created background panel (along with white cardstock), cut the squares in half diagonally by hand and mount onto a piece of cardstock in the quilt pattern.

Use a sewing machine with white thread to stitch along the “seams” and finish the edges of the quilt with ribbon strips (wrapped and secured behind the quilt panel).

View of the quilt 

Add a strip of remaining “homemade” background paper to an embossed piece of white cardstock (I used a snowflake embossing folder) and mount the focal “quilt” panel with dimensional foam.

To finish off the card, add the stamped Peace of God sentiment along with a few roses and a ribbon bow (these were from my stash).

Stamp Sets:  Winter Blessings (release date 10/16/15),
