Just Because...

Hi there! Today is my last post as a Guest Designer for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps! I just love the ladies there and Korin is so sweet and so very talented! Thanks to everyone at Sweet 'n Sassy for asking me to join them...I had so much fun!

Today, I am sharing a card that's "Just Because"! And 'just because' I think he's so cute, I got this little Benjamin Bunny digi stamp this week! He's colored with Copics (of course) and surrounded by some pretty pink pearls! I kept the layout pretty simple for this one...a sweet gingham bow and a strip of cardstock that coordinates with my background paper! The sentiment is from Verve.

Be sure to stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy store to see all the new release coming out soon!

Friends are the marshmallows...

...in the cocoa of life! I love that little sentiment! And I love Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Cocoa Mouse too! Isn't he so sweet peeking out of this adorable snowflake mug?!

This great image and sentiment are from the Sweet 'n Sassy Cup of Cocoa clear stamp set. I colored Cocoa a little darker this time, and masked the candy cane coming out of the mug so it didn't stamp. I also added another marshmallow in it's place. I used Copic markers and highlighted the snowflakes on the mug with some Diamond Stickles! He's cut out using a Spellbinders die and it's hard to see in the photo, but there is a layer of purple cut with a Martha Stewart snowflake edge punch. As always, a little ribbon and pearls...

I followed the Sweet Stop Sketch #92 for this week! Check it out...here! Have a great weekend and thanks for taking a peek!

The Best is Yet to Be...

Hi there! Hope you are having a great start to your weekend! I'm working today, but I wanted to share another Sweet 'n Sassy card with you! I'm having a great time being a Guest Designer and showing off their great stamps!

I love this open butterfly from the Everyday Miracles stamp set and I paired it up with these great colors from the Color Throwdown this week. I colored it with Copics and cut it out using the Spellbinders circle dies. I followed the Sweet Sunday sketch, but realized I probably should have stamped my butterfly a little higher in my circle. Oh well, I kept this one pretty simple...not too much embellishing since the beauty is really in the image! My sentiment is from the Love Sentiments set.

I hope you have a great day and stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy store to see what's new!

Miss You a Latte!

Hi there! I hope you are having a wonderful start to your weekend! I'll be taking a class today at my local stamp store...and a little shopping might happen while I'm there too!

I'm sharing another new release from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps with you today! This adorable image is part of the Cocoa's Latte clear stamp set. You get the image and five sentiments with the clear stamp set or you can get the image as a digi...it's up to you! I love coloring Cocoa and I've used the theme from the Crazy 4 Cocoa Challenge called New Year's resolution...mine is to keep in touch better with my friends. What better way than to send them an adorable card! I've also used the sketch from today's Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge which was a perfect fit for my image. It's and all out Sweet 'n Sassy card, huh!

Cocoa and his latte are colored with Copics and layered atop these sweet papers from the Penny Lane collection by My Mind's Eye. I used a bit of KI Memories ribbon, some pearls, a Prima flower and a button tied with some vintage seam binding!

I hope you'll join us for one of the fun challenges and be sure to stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy Store to see all the new releases...you'll love them!

I Love You SNOW Much!

Hi there! It's a new year and a new day and this is my first post as a new Guest Designer here at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps! I am so excited to join this awesome group of ladies for the month of January!

Today, I am sharing a card I made for my hubby using the new Snow Special stamp set. I was going for a more masculine feel for this one, so I chose this great snowflake paper by Jillibean Soup and paired it up with red and brown. Kraft is so popular right now and these colors are perfect for this snowman and my hubby.

My snowman is colored with Copics, cut out and popped up using pop dots. I cut my 'snowflake' using the Spellbinders Lotus pendant and the heart is a die by My Favorite Things. A couple of pearls and a bit of Distress Stickles added to the snowman's coat trim and the centers of the snowflakes on the background paper and it's done! The sentiment is one of the four you get with this adorable set!

Check out the Sweet 'n Sassy store for all of the new sets...and have a Happy New Year!
