Snowflake Bear

I'm so excited to be a December Guest Designer for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I can't wait to show you the fun I've been having with the new December Digi Release!

Today, I've got a card and a matching gift tag. Snowflake Bear is so cute, he didn't need a lot of colouring, just a little sparkle! I traced his edges with some Crystal Stickles and he pops right off the page.

My favorite thing about digi's is that you can size them to any project. I was able to shrink Snowflake down to fit on my tag, with the To: and From: on the back.

Stamp: Snowflake BearPaper: Bo Bunny, CMTH
Ink: Copic Markers B000, B00, B01, B93, B95, B97
Accessories: Spellbinders Lacey Squares, Circles and Scalloped Cirlces, Martha Stewart Snowflake Corner Punch, Misc. Ribbon from my Stash, Zva Jewels

Who wouldn't love to receive this for a gift? This cutie is also available as a digi called Sweet Cocoa.

How are you doing with your holiday cards and projects? I am still busy working on mine. Sweet N Sassy stamps has some great images to work with to help you out. Check out all our fabulous Christmas stamps and digis, I am sure you will find something you'll like.

Thank you LeAnne for sharing this wonderful project with us!

For a little all-star I know

Hi everyone! This is Denise here....so excited to be here as a guest this month! A dear friend of mine has a daughter who plays soccer, so I made this little notecard to send to her. I used the newly released digis, Cocoa Loves Soccer and Sports Sentiments.

The card measures 4.25" square. The main panel and star are up on foam tape. I drew in a bunch of grass with a Copic marker and then accented the grass with eucalyptus Stickles.

Stampin' Hugs,
Denise

Santa's Helper Cocoa

Good Morning! I hope you are all doing well. I also hope that you got in on some really good Black Friday deals last week. Not me.... I stay as far away from stores as I possibly can!

Anyway, I also hope you got in on the great deal that Korin was offering last month on the super sweet Santa's Helper Cocoa. If you did, I have a card to share with you that will perhaps inspire you. If not, there's still time to get this sweet stamp set.

I used the sketch from Crafts 4 Eternity for the layout and the gorgeous papers from Echo Park that you can find in the store here. These papers are so rich in color and really make the sweet Cocoa image pop! He looks so sweet peeking out of Santa's hat.

This is the inside view of the card. My oldest son always fusses at me when I leave the inside blank, so now I've gotten to where I make it a point to decorate the inside, too.

I do have one other card to share with you that you may have seen on my blog earlier this week - I think it's so cute that it's worth a 2nd glance. This is not me tooting my own horn, it's easy to create a really pretty card with Korin's images and these Echo Park papers.

This card features the Cocoa's Christmas Tree that was just released a couple of days ago. Cocoa has to be my absolute favorite and I look forward to featuring the new images all month long.

Let me also take this time to send you my own Christmas wishes. I hope that your Christmas is filled with joy, laughter and the love of Jesus Christ.

Many hugs,
Melissa

Snowflake Bear

Happy Holiday Greetings! Have you all been to the Sweet 'n Sassy web site to check out all of the brand new digis that were released yesterday? Fantastic! I just have to gush here a bit about how much I love SNSS images. We have such an amazing group of illustrators (Korin, Leah, & Chris) and such a wonderful variety of images and sentiments. I just love working with the stamps and digis...great stuff!!

Today's card features one of the brand new digis, called Snowflake Bear and he is super-duper sweet. I colored my bear with Copics (I love that SNSS images provide me with a wonderful opportunity to practice my coloring skills!) and actually used yesterday's SCS sketch challenge (SNSS hosted) for the layout. For a bit of sparkle, I added light blue rhinestones, Stickles on the snowflakes, and a 3-D silver snowflake sticker. The Holiday Greetings sentiment is from the O Christmas Tree stamp set.

Head on over to the web site and check out the new releases...There's bound to be something you'll just love!!

Enjoy!

Happy Release Day!!

Hooray, hooray----it's release day!

And here are the digis you've all be waiting for.....

Hop on over to Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps to grab these great new digis!
