Customer spotlight Sunday

I am happy to feature Rhonda Ziemer today for our customer spotlight Sunday. I was browsing an online gallery and this adorable snowman card caught my eye. Rhonda used the Love You This Much stamp set for her card. This cutie is also available as a digi called Country Snowman. I love how she paper pieced the snowman's coat and hat, I never thought to try that with this image.

When I was linking up this post for today, I saw another adorable card on Rhonda's blog and I wanted to show you guys this one too. I just love this self-conscious Paulie image, it just cracks me up. I hope it brings a smile to your face too.



Thank you Rhonda for letting us share your cards today! I know that they have inspired me.

Have a blessed day everyone!

Chef Cocoa

Hi there,
 I hope all of our American friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday and didn't eat too much turkey. I am sharing another sneak peek with you that will be available Dec. 1st, Chef Cocoa. I love this image it is great to use to make a card to include with your dish.

Cocoa's Christmas Tree

Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends. Hope you have blessed day with your families and enjoy a yummy Thanksgiving meal.

For today I am showing you a sneak peek of one of the digis that will be available Dec.1st. Cocoa's Christmas Tree. Isn't he the cutest?

I used copics for the tree and prismacolor pencils blended with odorless mineral spirits for him. Then I used stickles for the star and bulbs and silver liquid pearls for the garland. The design paper is Echo Paper's Merry Christmas that is available in the Sweet 'n Sassy store.

Happy Thanksgiving!

A Deer Friend

I wanted to show you one of our older digis today. With so many awesome images in the store sometimes they can be overlooked. The image I am featuring today is called Deer Friends. Notice the plural friends? This is one of the really cool things about digis, you can crop them, flip them, and pretty much customize them how you want. So, I wanted to make a square card and the entire image would not fit so I just cropped out the larger deer. The image is colored with copics, shimmerz paint was added to the bow, and rhinestones accent the antlers.



Thank you for stopping by today. I can tell you that today is going to be a crazy day for me- cooking, cleaning, shopping and general prep for tomorrow. I am not ready and running behind of course lol. The one thing I keep telling myself is that my family is coming over to spend time with one another not to see how clean my house is or to eat a perfect meal- at least I hope that is what they are thinking ;). Anyway, I hope that all of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow have a very blessed Thanksgiving.

God bless!

Victorian Poinsettias

Happy Tuesday to everyone, today I’m showing you the December Poinsettia image with some rich Victorian colors.

Card size: 4.25"

-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used to color the image using the Gamsol technique. Baby oil replaces the Gamsol/mineral spirits.

-The pearls are attached with Diamond Glaze (any lacquer product will work).
-Art Glitter adhesive was used to apply glitter to the yellow berries.

-Ink distressing was done on all Kraft layers.

-An A2 sized envelope with an insert is perfect to mail square cards. For the insert; punch a shape in the very center for ease of removing.

Apply a line of glue 1/4 to 3/8” from the side edges and insert with glue to the front of the envelope. Place the card between the insert and envelope front so it doesn’t shift around.  Perfect fit and saves on postage.

Stamps: Sweet n’ Sassy Stamps – December Poinsettia

Paper: white, The Paper Company – Kraft, K&Company designer paper

Ink: Memento – Tuxedo black, Ranger: tea dye distress ink
Accessories: Prismacolor pencils, baby oil, Art Glitter adhesive, Expressions glitter, Diamond Glaze, Pearls, Aleene’s tacky glue, Marvy black marker

Tools: cutting scissors, paper stumps

Techniques: Prismacolor, dry embossing, sponging, ink distressing

Happy Thanksgiving and don’t eat too much!

Cherry-topped Cupcake

Hello and Happy Monday! Can you believe that Thanksgiving is this Thursday?!! Christmas will be here before we know it!! I haven't really started my shopping yet but I do have my Christmas cards started.

For today's card I used the Cherry-topped Cupcake, it's one of the .99 digi's and it's perfect for making a quick birthday card. I like to keep cards like this on hand. One of my goals for next year is to send out more cards!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
