Customer Spotlight Sunday

This week I've found an absolutely darling card by one of our customers to share!  Take a look at what StampinAK shared in her gallery over on Splitcoaststampers:

Cynthia used the lovely Together Silhouettes stamp set, and a sketch she chose from the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge's archives to play along in the 3rd birthday celebration over there.  Did you know you can now see ALL of the Sweet Stop Sketches at a glance in our forums on Splitcoast?  Take a look!

Thanks so much for sharing such fabulous creations with us!  You never know when we'll spot your card in our gallery or on one of our challenge blog linky collections, so be sure to keep those amazing uploads coming (we are always on the lookout in our Splitcoaststampers gallery,  Paper Craft Planet, and the linky collections for the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge and the Digi Challenges)!

Have a beautiful Sunday!

You are beary special!!

Hello! Giovana here with a "beary" cute card using the new Bee-Happy Rhubarb Set. I just adore this set, it's so much to work with and color as well.
This card is very CAS, the embellishments "clouds, grass and fence" were made with felt. It gives it a really nice dimension.
The cute Rhubarb was colored with Copic Markers and added some Star Dust Stickles, I love stickles :)

Sweet 'n Sassy Supplies used:

1. Bee-Happy Rhubard Stamp Set.
2. Cloud Dies.
3. Grass and Fence Dies.

Hope you like it!!
Have a great day.

You Are Beary Special, Mom!

The vast majority of my cardmaking is for our church card-ministry and my very favorite time of year is Mother's Day.  We have three racks of cards for sale (by donation) and before Mother's Day, we remind everybody that ANY donation is welcome.  This means that our sweet young ones can pick out a card for their mothers and drop their pennies into the donation box.  It is utterly charming!

I made this card thinking that these little charmers would find this a perfect card for their mothers...
 


I used a simple little Rhubarb set called Thoughtful Rhubarb.  I added a dot of black enamel accents to the eyes to give them a sparkle!  You can also see the Hearts Border Die - that die, along with its companion the Star Border die, has become a go-to item for me.  I love scallops and having those little heart and star cut-outs is such a fun and unique touch!

You are treasured

Good Morning! It's Monika here today, bring you a Mother's Day card.

I LOVE the brand new Treasured clear stamp set with it's gorgeous flower/butterfly image and lovely words. The image is very easy to cut out, so that is exactly what I did!

I gave my background a fabulous texture. I dry embossed it first, then heat embossed the raised design with clear embossing powder.

The window opening is actually a piece of acetate/window sheet that I sandwiched between the white base card and red background paper. I stamped the inside of the card with Friendship Script Background image, and added some sponging.

The cut-out and Copics colored image is attached to the acetate. The image is also stamped on the acetate with Black StazOn. To add some dimension to my card, I stamped, colored, and cut-out an extra butterfly, which is attached to the main image with dimensional foam tape.

The sketch came from SplitCoast Stampers, SC#380.

Thanks for stopping by,

Monika

Hope you're day is a hoot!

Good Morning Sweet 'n Sassy fans.  I"m excited to join the Sweet 'n Sassy team this month as a guest designer.  Did you like the new release last week??   It was so difficult to choose which sets to get, because I LOVED them all.  Isn't this little guy a cutie patootie!  What a great friendship set.  And so many possibilities with this image.  

Wouldn't the image be cute with a little bow on the head for a girl, oh and what about a party hat???  That would make a great birthday card!  You could have him sitting on top of a birthday gift.  I'm trying to think of other things we could tuck under his wing .... what about a book and a graduates hat on his head .... or a balloon.

   Another great idea would be to put two of them standing side by side with their wings touching so they look like they are holding hands.  There just may be enough room between the wings to have him holding a banner.  We can have a lot of fun with this little guy!

I'd love to know what idea's you have.  If you would like to share an idea or a card you created using this little guy .... hop over to this post on my blog and leave me a comment.  HERE.

Hope you're day is a hoot and I'll see you next tuesday!

hugs, Melisa

Wish You Were Here

Good morning blog friends and welcome to Monday! Some folks aren't too keen on Mondays but I'm rather partial to them. It's a fresh start to the week and I'm always energized on Monday...but don't ask me how I feel by Tuesday! I'm ready for Friday! :-)

Today I'm sharing a card created using the Beauty by the Sea stamp set and I chose this set because it had me thinking of summer. For those of in the Northeast, we had a week of 80 degree weather a few weeks ago and I have to tell you...I'm ready for it to be back full time!! I'm dreaming of warmer weather and summer days!

My card is also for yesterday's Splitcoast Featured Stamper challenge. This week's featured stamper is Albongo and you can see her beautiful gallery here and this is the card that I CASE'd. I loved the CAS style of the cards and liked being able to add my spin to the layout. I colored the shells with Copics, cut them out, and added them to the scalloped circle with foam tape.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and celebrate Monday!!

Happy Easter!!

All of us a Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps wish you a blessed Easter as you celebrate our RISEN SAVIOR!!! He has conquered death and sin and is now preparing a place for us in heaven where we will reign with Him forever!

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, and hath redeemed us to God by his
blood, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour,
and glory, and blessing. Blessing and honour, glory and power, be unto
Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever.

Happy Easter!!!

Butterfly Quilt

Hello, it's Bridget here with a card I made using a brand new set released this week called Treasured - soon I'll have to put this set down and use something else - but not yet, I keep reaching for it!

The image is colored in copics and popped up on a dp circle - I stamped an extra butterfly wing so one could be popped up.  I added gloss to the butterfly wings and the next morning when I got up the wing had curled beautifully!  The  flower center also has a layer of gloss.

I made a quilted bg of dp using my sewing machine and then simply added an oval punched sentiment and double bow to finish.  I loved working with such bright, sunny colors.

A butterfly is often seen as a symbol of new life which seems appropriate this Easter weekend when we celebrate the new life we can enjoy because of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. 

Whatever you're doing this Easter weekend, I hope it's a peaceful, happy and safe one.

Easter Blessings, Bridget
