Welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps July release blog hop! All of the July releases are available right here (yep, you don't have to wait until tonight!) Hope you can join us over on in the SNSS forum on SCS for the party as well as a fabulous set of challenges throughout the day!
If you arrived from Taylor's blog you are in the right place and if not, be sure to start at the beginning: the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps blog. One lucky commenter on our blog hop today will win the ENTIRE release!!!
I was thrilled to work with two stamp sets, the first of which is Sheltering Cherry Blossom:
I heat embossed the image with Versafine Black Oynx and Clear Embossing powder before coloring it with Spectrum Noir markers. The patterned paper is from my scrap stash and Basic Grey which I thought went well with my cherry blossoms.
The next stamp set I am showcasing today is Bridge of Hope...and I know, where is the bridge??? Will share a CAS one soon, I promise :)
I combined this verse from the set with the Music Background stamp.
I just LOVE the hymn that Dina included in this set and it holds a very special place in my heart. Do you know the story behind this hymn by Horatio Spafford? It truly shows the comforting hand of God amidst many heartbreaking trials...here is a link.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Blessings,

Beautiful card, Jennie! I love the colors and papers and stamps you used!
Absolutely lovely cards. Your choice of colors and your use of the branch on the first card is perfect for the sentiment. And I have always loved "It is Well" - your focus on that sentiment is beautiful!
Beautiful Jennie!!
Both cards are just beautiful, Jennie! I love the hymn "It is Well" and how you chose to focus on the words from the song on your card. The story behind the song is so inspiring and reminds us that God will give us peace in all circumstances! Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Both of these cards are incredibly encouraging and uplifting, Jennie...the soft brown and pinks of the first one are so pretty and soothing and I love the meaning and truth behind the second one, especially knowing the story of how those words came to be written!

Hi Jennie just found your blog by chance. Your card's are absolutely stunning, love your style. Caroline xxx
I keep seeing these beautiful cards with these marvelous sentiments and all I can think of is my dear friend whose daughter just discovered that she has breast cancer. How I would love to lift my friend up a bit with some of these. Beautifully done!!

Both of your cards are exquisite! I love the corner tab on your cherry blossoms and the music touches to go with your sentiment on the second. Thanks so much for the link....it truly is incredible.

Two great cards here! I love the pinks and browns of the cherry blossom card. As gorgeous as the bridge image is, I think it's really interesting that instead you chose to highlight the hymn verse for your sample.
