It's a Hoppy Day.....

.... but a sad one, too. Today is my last posting here as a Guest DT member, so that makes me a bit sad. But the happiness I have felt in this month of sharing with you here at Sweet 'N Sassy and being surrounded by some of the most kind & generous people completely outweighs that sadness! :)


So I will share this card with you using the newly released Fenton the Frog. He really does make me smile! We have a fondness for frogs in our family. I am always reminded of the acronym F.R.O.G. - Fully Rely On God.


The papers are full of glitter, as are this little guy's spots, all shining with God's radiance!


So I will say 'until we meet again'.... for with Him,
there are no goodbyes!

Blowing you {MORE} Kisses!

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!  Sorry I missed you guys last Monday!  I ended up having an awful migraine that lasted forever!  {Thank You, Sandy for covering me!}  One of these days I will get ahead! LOL!

It was a FUN yet busy week at our Paper Craft Planet group HERE!  Our Princess and Frog Challege HERE was inspired by the latest digis released and you are invited to still play along and show us your creations!!  Korin also picks our monthly guest designer from our challenges, so you may just want to try your hand at it!

For my card today, I used BLOWING KISSES!  This set features this super sweet teddy bear (in full length) and three sentiments!  Just $4.50 for the entire set; perfect for Valentine-Card-making, don't you think?  Begin NOW, because Valentine's Day will be here before you know it!!

AND if you see below, I am adding a new feature to my card-posts, I am taking pictures of the COPIC colors that I used in creating that card.  So, maybe this will hope those newbie Copic colorers out there!  If you would like to know all of the details (supplies) of my card, check out my blog HERE!

Hugs and Blessings to all! ~ Nicole

Make it a MAHVELOUS MONDAY!

Customer Spotlight Sunday!

This is a card made by Aud Kirsten using the Sweet 'n Sassy, The Greatest Gift, digi!

Aud played along with our SSS39 challenge on The Sweet Stop. What a fun way to use the digis you purchase from our store.  The sketches are always fun and easy with lots of inspiration from the Sugar Babies themselves!

We are always looking for customers who are using our digis! Be sure to post and let us know what you have made. You may be our next Customer Spotlight!

sweet 'n sassy saturday...

Happy Saturday everyone. My little princess is having her 7th birthday on Tuesday and I made this card for her. I used everything she loves! Lots of Pink and glitter and bling. Because what little princess doesn't love some sparkle! The image is Heart Princess from this weeks new release! I colored her with Prismacolor pencils, blended with odorless mineral spirits and a blending stump to match this Basic Grey Lemonade paper. I added a touch of rose ribbon, some sticky bling and lots of stickles.

Someday.....

Good Friday morning Digi Stampers!

Yesterday was digi day at Papercraft Planet and let me tell you, I had fun. I was a little nervous at first, but everyone on the DT came to my rescue when I needed it. We had fun and the cards.... wow.... you ladies amaze me.

It was so much fun to showcase cards featuring yesterday's newly released digital stamps. You did stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy store to check out the latest releases, right? If you haven't yet, better go, no scratch that, better run to the store to check out "Fenton, the Frog" or "Heart Princess". Oh, and the sentiments..... love sentiments because I'm never clever enough to come up with a sentiment on my own.

I had so much fun with Leah's "Heart Princess" and Korin's "Fenton, the Frog" and actually created a seperate card with each image, but had so much fun yesterday that I promptly shared both cards at our Digi Day at Sweet 'n Sassy's PCP group. So I created this card last night:

Not only did I use "Fenton, the Frog", the beautiful "Heart Princess", I also used the reeds from "Flying By". All are colored with copics and cut out using a craft knife. I almost always will take a dark gray marker and go around the cut edges of the image. That helps to blend the edges in, especially if it's thicker card stock. I'm not sure if the papers work but decided to just 'go with it' and used designer paper from My Mind's Eye, Wild Asparagus line.

I used foam pop dots to add a little dimension. Here's a close up.

I used a sentiment from "Princess Seeks Frog" set, which I layered onto some DP scraps and adhered to the inside of the card:

Not too bad of a card considering that I really should have been in bed instead of at the craft table. But then again, with these awesome digital stamps, there is no such thing as a bad card.... because these digi stamps are just too cute~!

Make sure to stop by every day for new inspiration from the rest of the Design Team and don't forget to swing by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. :-)

Someday My Prince Will Come

Good morning stampers!! I hope you have all had a fantastic week!

I love Thursdays at Sweet 'n Sassy, as they always mark the release of new digital stamps!! Korin has so many fantastic images, and the prices are incredible!! You are sure to find something to tickle your fancy! So please stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy store to check out all the great stamps!! Hey, while you are here why not sign up as a Follower? That way, you will not miss out on any of the great things happening here at Sweet 'n Sassy!

My card today features the two new images "Heart Princess" and "Fenton the Frog". Now, how perfect are these two for a "princess and the frog" theme?? Korin has also released three sentiment sets today. I used one sentiment from the "Princess Seeks Frog" set. (The other two sets are "A True Friend" and "Love Sentiments 1".)

I printed my images out onto Neenah cardstock and coloured them with Copic markers. The trim on the dress was "blinged" up (I love how we can just make up words to suit our fancy!!) with Frosted Lace Stickles, and Fenton received a generous coat of Glossy Accents.

It's a little difficult to see, but I sponged in a sky using a make-up sponge and a cloud template.


Now, we have some extra fun for you all today!! You can hop on over to Paper Craft Planet for Sweet 'n Sassy's Digi Day!! Join in for a challenge, chatting and PRIZES!!! Yup, free digis my friends!! You will find all the details on the Sweet 'n Sassy group at PCP. I'm hoping to hop on for a bit after work, and I'm looking forward to connecting with all of you!

Have a blessed day friends!

Kissy Kissy Fishy Fishy

I love this week's new release set "Pucker Up" which was drawn by Leah, and its just perfect for my Valentine's card for my other half who has an aquarium full of fishies!  I just cut out the fish bowl and then popped up the fish on dimensionals.  I added some orange stickles to the little hearts and purple stickles to the plant for some bling.  The little heart (an oldie from my stash) on the brown BG was stamped with versamark ink and the fish bowl coloured with copic markers (though I had a near disaster when my blue marker ran out just as I started colouring..grrr!)

Pop back tomorrow to see the next digi releases ... they'll will be perfect for your Valentine's cards if you don't have a fish-lovin hubby!
And tomorrow is also the Digi Day on PCP - click HERE to go to the Sweet'n Sassy page ... see you there for some fun!
