Donut Worry

Hello Sweet 'N Sassy Friends!  Sheri here today with a couple cards featuring the NEW Donut Worry stamp set illustrated by Rebecca Rios. This set is NOW available for purchase if you did not pick it up last month when it was the Stamp of the Month.

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

I had a lot of fun with the donuts!  To create the glaze look I added Glossy Accents after coloring them with copic markers.  I love how 3D they turned out!

 

 Happy Stamping!!

 

Autumn Splendor

Happy Monday! 

Today I am sharing a couple cards with you using the Autumn Splendor set that was just released today. This is a remix set and I absolutely love it! 

To create the first card, which is a one layer card.  I started with a white top folding card base, the Autumn Splendor set,  Fadeout ink and some colored pencils. I positioned the leaves in the Original Misti and then stamped them with Fadeout ink and the colored them with Polychromos colored pencils by Faber- Castell

The second card I stamped the leaves from the Autumn Splendor set using the Original Misti with my favorite embossing ink and then embossed them with Gold Rush powder. I added color to them by using the Life Changing Bender Brushes and some Gina K Designs ink. To finish the card I added some Peel Offs along the top and bottom of the panel. 

Grateful Heart

Hi Sweet 'n Sassy friends! It's Julee Tilman here, popping in to share a couple of cards with the October Stamp of the Month: Grateful Heart.

Grateful Heart is a sweet remix of images from a retired set by Korin with a few new sentiments I designed sprinkled in. For my first card, I went for a traditional Thanksgiving card using the cornucopia image from the set. I remember in 2nd grade making a "stained glass" cornucopia project with aluminum foil, saran wrap, and markers. Ever since then I get delighted every time I see a cornucopia, so I had to start with this image!

I colored it with Copic markers, then highlighted with glossy accents and glitter for a little shine.  This panel is matted with brown cardstock and the corners rounded.  I did a similar treatment with the Thanksgiving Blessings sentiment and then finished with some patterned paper from my stash.

For this next card, I strayed just a bit from traditional colors, adding in a bit of aqua. I love all the aqua and sage fall decor I've been seeing, so colored this fall bouquet with  an aqua flower and bow.  The background for the card is a sage patterned paper that I stenciled with a ledger stencil then used distress inks to shade the edges.  I added a bit of patterned paper for interest and some lace trim.  Each of my focal circles is matted with a vellum scallop circle. I love the soft look to it.

Since Grateful Heart is our stamp of the month, it's available for purchase right now. Or you can get it for free with a $75 order (after discounts and before shipping) in the month of October. Don't miss the rest of the October release, coming on Monday, October 7!

Blessed Beyond Measure

Hello sweet friends!  Cathy here with some Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps inspiration for you.

My first card features a little sneak peek of a wonderful new stamp set being released next week on October 7th as part of the October Release.

Some of the smaller succulents from the stamp set were randomly stamped in light green ink over the background.  The grid from Texture Tiles 1 was stamped in purple ink.  A second panel was embossed with a leafy stencil.  Oxide ink was rubbed onto the raised edges to bring out the detail.  This panel was cut in half lengthwise and added to the background.  Different succulents from the stamp set were colored with Copic Markers, cut with my Scan 'N Cut and popped onto the card.  A sentiment from the Faith Wordfetti stamp set was white embossed on a purple strip.  A few gems were added to finish the card.

My second card features the adorable Fur-ever Friends stamp set released last month.

Stripes of Oxide Inks were sponged on a white panel and then a different leafy stencil was used to emboss some texture on the background.  The wood pattern from Wood Backgrounds was stamped on a strip used to ground the cute little fox which was colored with Copic Markers, cut with my Scan 'N Cut and popped onto the card.  Some of the leaves from the set were colored and added to the card.  The sentiment was stamped on a hand cut banner and white gems were added to finish the card.

The following stamp sets from the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store were used for the cards above:

You will need to stop back again next week to see the new stamp set as well as other sets being released in October!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

Cathy

Autumn Splendor

Good morning! Today I have a sneak peek of the fun new release coming soon at Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps! This month's release will be on October 7.

This stamp set is called Autumn Splendor and is perfect for your fall cards! I stamped the leaves on watercolor paper and then spritzed with water.

Have a great day and on Monday check out all the new stamps in this month’s release!

Hooray for Fall!

Hello Everyone!

Whether the temps are cooperating or not, it is fall!  I love walking down the drive hearing the crunch of the acorns and leaves under my feet.  Pumpkin patches and corn mazes make the top ten list of best things about fall as well.  Scarecrows adorn many a front porch. I'm a fan of fall!
I used  Happy Scarecrow for my first fall card.  

This cutie is colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  I was in a color rut and ended up finding a color combo on my Pinterest board.  That saved the day!  Do you get in color ruts?   Tell us what you do to break out of a color rut!
I gave my scarecrow an autumnal background with a wheat stencil.  He is popped up on dimensionals. 

My second card is super CAS.  I challenged myself to make a one layer card with the same set, Happy Scarecrow. 

I used my MISTI to create the check border.  The sentiment is a sneak peek of a new set which Korin will be releasing next week sometime!
 I hope I have inspired you!  Happy creating!

Autumn Critters

Happy Monday, Sweet 'n Sassy Stampers!

It's Ceal, here to share with you and let me tell ya it's definitely Monday!

I was going about my day and working in my planner for next month and then realized I was supposed to post today. 

I whipped up two cards using the Fur-ever Friends stamps set. This set is so adorable and can be used for many different occasions. 

For the first card I paired it up with the Wood Backgrounds set which in my opinion is a must have to compliment this set.  and the second card I stamped the adorable fox, masked him off and then used a stencil to create the background. Both images were colored using Copic markers

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.

Fur-ever Friends

Hello everyone! Today I want to show you two cards I made with the Fur-ever Friends stamp set. These little critters are just too cute.

I colored the squirrel and fox with alcohol markers and cut them out. I wanted to give the cards a forest feeling so I decided to go for a background with a lot of green. I love the golden details in this vellum paper so I thought it would be a perfect match.



I cut out two frames with a wood pattern and stamped the sentiments on them. After that I adhered everything to a kraft colored card and added a couple of wooden elements and sequins to finish the cards.



I hope you're inspired to create!

Adore Him!

I am not sure about you guys but Christmas stuff is popping up everywhere around me - It is 93 degrees here in Georgia so it is a little hard to get into the Christmas spirit, but this new set from Sweet N Sassy surely has done it! It is called Adore Him. It is so precious. It has so many different elements in the Christmas Story that I have lots of ideas running through my mind.

Today's images were colored with Polychromos pencils. They take a little while to build up the color, but the end result is great!

My first card uses Distress Oxides to create a night time sky.  I used Wood Backgrounds to create "wood pieces" for the "manger" and the colored the baby , fussy cut it, and popped it up on fun foam. I used the sentiment from an older set called Peace on Earth (retired) And that is all there is too this one - clean and simple but not really, right?



My second card uses The Three Wise Men. This one is very  clean and simple. I colored them, fussy cut them, and glued them onto a white card. I rounded the corners for a little added interest. For this one, I used a sentiment from We Three Kings - I love this sentiment!



These were so much fun! I hope you are inspired to get your Christmas cards started. It will actually be here before you know it!

Thanks for stopping by!
