SNSS DT Favorites Blog Hop

It's hard to believe Sweet 'n Sassy Sassy Stamps is celebrating 5 fabulous years this month.  Time sure flies when you're having fun! We have a lot planned this month in honor of our 5th birthday starting with today's special DT Favorites Blog Hop.  The best part about this hop is that all of the sets the DT is featuring are on sale---25% off today through November 7th!!!

I hope you enjoy the beautiful creations shared today featuring our favorite Sweet 'n Sassy Stamp sets!!

Today I am using three favorite stamp sets!!  First up is a 5x5 card featuring Leaf Silhouettes, my favorite leaf stamp set:

The leaves were stamped with Memento ink on a piece of sticky back canvas.  The canvas was die cut with a circle Spellbinders die and stamped over the leaves with Friendship Script Background.  Then spritzed the circle with a little Tattered Angels mist and layered with another die.  

Here is a close-up of the canvas stamped circle and love the texture from the canvas:

Next is a CAS card using the stamp set Snowflake Silhouettes:

The snowflakes were stamped with Memento ink and simply added some bling! Super easy to mass produce this one!

SNSS Fall Frenzy Blog Hop

Hello stamping friends!!  We are so excited about Fall arriving soon that we've decided to celebrate the season with a Fall Frenzy Blog Hop & Virtual Stamp Day! 

The Design Divas have created some fabulous eye candy for you featuring our wonderful selection of Fall stamps so we hope you'll hop along with us today!
Be sure to stop along the way because we'll be drawing one lucky commenter from a random DT blog to win a $25 credit to the store!!

Today I am showcasing two Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps sets and first is Leaf Silhouettes:

 I love the solid leaf image in this stamp set and used Big Brush markers from Design Memory Craft to color directly on the stamp for the leaves.  I did a bit of combining colors to mimic the fabulous colors God reveals through the fall season as the leaves slowly change colors.  I did a bit of flicking (by coloring on my craft mat with a brown marker, spritzing with water, and picking up the color with a water color brush) to fill in a bit of the "white" space.

Don't you just love the fall colored M&M's that are showing up in stores???  I accented this little treat container using some Simple Stories patterned paper, Spellbinders dies and a sentiment from the stamp set:

And the other fall stamp set I am showcasing is Autumn Leaves:

For this card, I scored a piece of Ivory card stock every 1/4" and stamped the leaves using Versafine ink.  I colored them using Big Brush markers and sponged over it with Old Paper distress ink.  Then I stamped over it with Friendship Script.  Love the "tile" like design to the background!!!

Hi!  Today I have a card to share that I made for the SCS Sketch challenge.  I used the leaves from Season of Change and the sentiment is from Leaf Silhouettes.  Notice the patterned paper???  It is from Farmhouse, a new paper company which is quickly becoming a new favorite.  I scored the horizontal layer with my Scor-Buddy before adhering it to the ivory card stock to add a bit of interest.

Also wanted to let you know that Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is having a Fall Frenzy Blog Hop this Friday!  Hope you can hop along and play along with the challenges over on SCS.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Season of Blessings

 Today I have a card to share that I made for the CPS278 sketch challenge.  I used Leaf Silhouettes from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and Memento ink.  The bling from Want2Scrap was added for fill in/interest.  Sometimes I have a hard time with blank space...lol!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Season of Blessings

Hello! Today I have a card to share that I made for the sketch challenge over on SCS this week. LOVED this sketch and thought immediately of the new SNSS set Leaf Silhouettes. The leaves were stamped with Memento Morocco, Cantaloupe and Bamboo Leaves and obviously wanted it to coordinate with some fun Bo Bunny patterned paper. 
It has been HUMID the past two days and looking forward to some cooler weather that fall brings!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

SNSS August Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps August release blog hop!  All of the August releases are available right here. 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! 

The first card I have to share with you today is Leaf Silhouettes: 

I stamped the leaves using Morocco, Olive Grove, and Peanut Brittle Memento ink.  Then I spritzed it with some Rich Cocoa Fireworks spray.  The sentiment was stamped and die cut with a Spellbinders die and attached with some baker's twine.  

And here is one using Tree Background:

I stamped the tree image with Versafine Vintage Sepia and embossed with clear embossing powder. I created the moon by masking (using a sticky note that I punched with a circle punch and used as a mask with Versamark and clear embossing powder).   Then I sponged liberally with distress inks and stamped the sentiment from Leaf Silhouettes.


Hope you can join us for our Virtual Stamp Day over on SCS.  There will be 3 winners from the challenges who will each win a $20 credit to the store.

Also, be sure to hop along today as one random commenter on a random DT member's blog will win two sets of their choice from the release
 (must comment by 8:00 PM EST today)
