Hello! Customer Appreciation month continues over at Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps and this week SNSS is spotlighting Korin’s stamp sets with a 25% off sale. This sale ends tomorrow! Also, don’t forget that this month you get to choose your own $11.95 value Stamp Of The Month with each $60 order!

The first card I am sharing today uses Korin’s Made New stamp set and matching Die set. I also used a sentiment from Nina’s Mason Jar Bouquet.

My next two cards are for pet sympathy. Here I used Puppy Love, Kitty Love, the Rise & Shine Stencil, and the Puffy Clouds Stencil. I masked each band of the rainbow on the first card to sponge the colors. For the second card, I didn’t mask them and sponged colors on from left to right.

Have a great day and go check out the SALE!

Good morning! It’s Customer Appreciation month at Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps and this week SNSS is spotlighting illustrator Rebecca Rios with a 25% off sale. But hurry…the sale on Rebecca’s stamp sets ends today! Also, don’t forget that this month you get to choose your own $11.95 value Stamp Of The Month with each $60 order!

I used one of my favorite sets by Rebecca, True Beauty, for my cards today. I started by stamping a background of flowers with black ink on a piece of cardstock. I cut a large panel from it for my first card and colored the “negative” space with a purple Copic marker. I liked the result and decided not to stamp or color in the flowers. I think layering the piece with a black & white stripe paper made it striking as it is!

I used the leftover strip from the background of my first card and stamped the flowers with purple to color them. Then I stamped an additional flower and cut it out. Instead of adding a separate sentiment, I stamped the “hello” right onto the flower and popped it up.

Have a great day and don’t forget to check out the SALE!

Hello friends! Customer Appreciation month continues at Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps and this week SNSS is spotlighting illustrator Nina Brackett with a 25% off sale. Don’t delay…the sale on Nina’s stamps ends tomorrow! Also, don’t forget that this month you get to choose your own $11.95 value Stamp Of The Month with each $60 order!

Today I used two of Nina’s sets to make a few cards. On the first card I used her Mason Jar Bouquet set along with Korin’s I Like Big Cups. I love stamping the Mason Jar Bouquet images just as they are but this was fun to mask the large to-go cup and fill it with flowers!

My next two cards use Nina’s Delightful Daisies and I used a sentiment on the second card from Korin’s Be Encouraged 2 set. So many possibilities with these flowers! For the first card, I inked each of the flowers with 2 different ink cubes and lightly misted with water before stamping.

On my second card, I stamped the background with the smaller daisy image and then embossed the piece to give it some texture.

Have a great day and don’t forget to check out the SALE!

I am hopping today with two cards using the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps April Stamp set of The Month: Butterfly Background. I also used Sentimental Wordfetti, Made New, Made New Dies, Bookmarks & More Dies, and Faith Phrases. (Made New is also available in a Bundle.)

I cut 4 squares of colorful cardstock for the background of my first card. 2 corners on each were rounded after stamping them “tone on tone” with the same colors of ink. Each square is 1 15/16″ and the card base is 4 1/4″.

For the background of my second card, I used small ink cubes to ink up a section at a time, cleaning the stamp between each color. The MISTI is great for this technique. The green layer on the left was scored diagonally on the Scor-Pal.

Have a great day and thanks for hopping!

Hello! I have a couple of cards today using the new Grunge Elements 3 set in this month’s Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps release. I also used Faith Phrases and Bold Birthdays. I used a MISTI to stamp the card base and blue cardstock so they would line up when layered.

The MISTI was used again on this card to mask the numbers and stamp them in different colors. This set is full of fun elements! A purple gemstone accents the crown and gives a little pop of a different color.

Have a great day!
