Hawaiian Chicken...yum!

Hello!  Today I am sharing one of my favorite recipes in a 6x6 format. While you are reading this, I am spending the day stamping with good friends from NY and PA.  This recipe was scrapped for one of the swaps we are having.

I stamped the little chicken from my Get Well Critters stamp set.  I didn't want his bandaged wing to show since I was doing a Hawaiian scene, so I gave him a tropical drink to cover it up!  ;)  The drink, sun, beach ball, and palm tree are from the Wish You Were Here stamp set.  And I gave the sand a little "texture" by stamping some speckles from Grunge Elements.

The Get Well Critters Dies and Beach Dies made cutting all the pieces out a snap!
 

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you try the recipe... and like it!

Beauty By The Sea

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy friends, it's Ceal here to share a card I made for a friends daughter that is getting married this month at the beach.

 I combined three different sets to make my Beachy wedding card. I stamped the shell and starfish from the Beauty by the Sea set in versamark ink and embossed them with white embossing powder. Next I stamped the beach umbrella from the Wish you were Here set, used the Umbrella die to cut it out and colored it in one of the wedding colors. The sentiment is from the Inspirational Word Art 1 set. 

I finished it by sponging some brown ink around the shells to give it a little beach sand. 

Here are the sets I used

Wish You Were Here

Hello sweet friends!  This week Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is featuring the stamp set Wish You Were Here.  Since we'll soon be heading to the beach to soak up some sun for our summer vacation , I thought I'd share a sunny card with you today using the featured set.

The background was created with Gelatos, Gesso and spritzes of water on Mixed Media paper. Real sand was sprinkled on the Kraft beach, and both the positive and negative wave die cuts were used for the ocean.  Of course you can't head to the beach without your umbrella, flip flops, and lemonade!  These beach accessories were colored with Copic Markers and cut with the matching Beach Dies.  Everything was painted with a clear Wink of Stella marker for shimmer, but it's hard to see on the photo.  The sentiment was stamped on a pennant die, and Baker's twine was added to finish the card!  

Wish You Were Here is the perfect stamp set for making fun beach scenes and this week you can get it for 20% off the retail price.  

It's not too late to enter our Fun at the Beach Challenge for a chance to win a $10 Gift Certificate to the Sweet 'n Sassy Store!  Check THIS post for the details!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I think the sun is finally to show its bright smile today so it might be the perfect day to soak up the sun!

Hugs,
Cathy

Bright Well Wishes...

Good morning!

Jessica here with a bright get well card to share with you today that I made with the adorable Wish You Were there stamp set and coordinating dies along with the fabulous Wishing you Well for the sentiments.  Get Well cards should be bright and cheerful, right?  This one definitely fits the bill!

I was thinking of some pink and yellow lemonade shared among friends when I made this card, thus the color scheme...

I also snuck in one of my favorite Doily border dies embellished with some rhinestones that I colored yellow to match.  I used three baker's twines tied together in a bow to 'tie' in all the colors I used to color the stamped images: buttercream, caribbean, and strawberry.

Have a great rest of your day!

Jessica

Wish you Were Here

Good morning!

Jessica here with a colorful card I made using the new Wish You Were Here stamp set and coordinating dies.  Oh how I love this stamp set and dies!  It's definitely one of my all time favorites from SNSS!

I used a variety of Copics to color the images to match all the pattern papers I used from a variety of My Mind's Eye scraps.  I also used SNSS grass die and some cantaloupe baker's twine for a quick embellishment.

Have a great day and hope you are enjoying sunshine where you are!

Jessica

Fun in the Sun!

Good morning Sweet 'n Sassy friends!  I hope you've been staying cool on these hot steamy days.  I'll be trying to do just that today...as you read this post, I'll be heading to the beach for the day!  It was a perfect day to grab the newly released stamp set, "Wish You Were Here."

This is such a fun set and the matching Beach Dies make it easy to create wonderful, summery, beach cards.  The foreground was stamped with the ever popular chevrons from the Grunge Borders stamp set with Dandelion ink.  The palm tree, sun, and flip flops were die cut, stamped, and colored with Copic Markers.  A piece of Baker's Twine was tied around before popping the panel on a Solar Crest card base.  Stickles was added to the sun and several colored rhinestones were scattered on the top panel to finish the card.

Since we are revisiting the new release, here is another card using Delightful Doilies and The Sweet Stop sketch for this week....love this set!

Check out THIS post for more information on this card!

Thanks so much for stopping by...have a blessed day!  Try to stay cool!

Hugs,
Cathy
