Many Thanks!

Good Morning!

It's Monika, back with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I am so excited to be working with Korin and the fabulous team again!

I saw a technique the other day that I really wanted to try and I thought the very pretty birds on a branch image from One of a Kind clear stamp set (also available in digital format) would work great.



I stamped the image, colored it with Copic Markers, and cut it out. Then I cut a circle opening on my card. Before attaching the layers, I sandwiched a clear sheet between the white base card and Kraft panel, so my cut out image would look like it was 'floating'.
I actually used the colors from yesterday's Inspiration Challenge over in our Member Company Forums on SplitCoastStampers.
The greeting came from Gifts from Turtle clear stamp set. I stamped it on a thin strip and sandwiched it between the layers just like I did with the clear sheet. I stamped up some extra leaves to use around the edge... to add some sparkle to my card, I used silver rhinestones. I also used some Baker's Twine. The background is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and the edges are sponged and distressed. Great way of giving your card some texture.
I hope you will try this great technique. It is fairly easy and looks great.

Thanks for stopping by today,
Monika

You Are My Sunshine

It's time again for another Inspiration Challenge today over in our Member Company forums on Splitcoaststampers!  Today I shared a fun dining room with clean lines, polka dots, and a pop of blue.  For my card, I tried to echo those things, using the Your Friendship set and the dots from Polka Dot Silhouettes.  Take a look at the original picture:

Want to know how to play along?


Using the picture above, make a card, project, altered item, or anything else your mojo inspires you to make. It can be based on the colors, the textures, the theme...anything!  I've pulled out a few colors, for those of you who love to use them as your jumping off point.  I've also highlighted a few of the different textures and patterns in the picture, in case you'd rather use those as inspiration.  Remember, there is no right or wrong, just be inspired and have fun!  Upload your art to the gallery at SCS, and use the keyword SNSSIC04 (note: you do not have to use a Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps image to play along, but to be considered for the Sweet 'n Sassy Spotlight you do).  While there is NO time limit to play along in this challenge, I'll post a new one each Tuesday morning!

So, come play!!  Can't wait to see what you create :)


Supplies: 
Stamps: Your Friendship, Polka Dot Silhouettes (SNSS)
Card Stock: PTI Kraft; Neenah WHite; SU Red Riding Hood
Ink: SU Red Riding Hood, Bordering Blue
Accessories: Cappuccino twine, misc brad
Tools: crop-a-dile

Polka Dots and Gingham

Hello, it's Bridget here with today's blog post - I know it's a holiday for many of you and I hope it's a happy and safe day for everyone!  For today's card I went with two of my favorite design elements, polka dots and gingham, and also with a favorite color combo, red and teal!  I colored the beautiful coneflowers from the set Flowers in Bloom with copics, and added a bit of sparkle with Stickles to the butterfly, though it's hard to see in my photo.  Because people sometimes struggle with blending reds, I'll include the ones I used here, starting with the darkest - R29, R27, R24 R22, and R20.

I always think pearls play along so well with polka dots and that was my finishing touch!

 The circle is cut with Nestabilities Circles and popped up.   The dp is from My Minds Eye and October Afternoon.

Have a wonderful day! Hugs, Bridget

Customer Spotlight Sunday

Happy Sunday everyone! 

We are so glad that you took the time to visit the Sweet 'n Sassy blog. Today in the customer spotlight we are featuring Donna-Marie Cecere. 

Donna-Marie created this card from our Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps set, Happy Ocean Friends.  She used so many fun bright colors and great embellishments...it just makes the card pop!  One thing I loved when visiting her blog was that on her left sidebar she has color combos for Copics that she uses.  I love seeing what people use to get the shades of reds, blues, greens, etc. 

Great card Donna-Marie and thank you for using our Sweet 'n Sassy stamps.
