Customer spotlight Sunday

It's Sunday and that means we have a wonderful customer spotlight to inspire you today. This beautiful card is brought to us by Mary (merrymstamper). It is from our poppies and greetings stamp set. The flowers are beautiful and the set comes with so many terrific sentiments. I love the colors Mary chose for her flowers and the embossing on the card base is a lovely accent!

We are so glad you let us share your card today Mary, thank you so much! Thank you all for dropping by today and I hope you have a blessed day!

Because You're You

Good Morning Friends!  I hope you have had a fabulous week.  Don't you just love it when someone sends you a card that it's greeting is "Because You're You."  I think its a great feeling when a friend loves me so much for just me and no other reasons.

The card I have to share with you today is one that features my favorite mouse of all, Cocoa.  It also features a sentiments from one of the best monthly flower sets, Poppies & Greetings.

Now, you'll have to forgive the photo.  My sister sent me a studio-in-a-box for my birthday and I'm still trying to figure out the best lighting angles in which to place the lights.  I'm a work in progress!  LOL  Anyway, I just really want to inspire you to create something from your heart to someone else's.

I wish you a Happy Saturday.  Be sure to check out the new design of the store and then pop on over to The Sweet Stop for a great sketch, lots of eye candy and inspiration.

Many hugs & blessings,
Melissa

Poppies Birthday

Hello!

Today I have a card for those of you/us, who don't always like to color. I decided to use my beautiful poppies outline stamp just as an outline image. I used a light green background paper with dark brown ink to achieve the look I was going for. What do you think?

I used Poppies and Greetings clear stamp set again. To add texture to my card, I dry embossed the background with a Tim Holtz embossing folder, and sponged some dark brown ink on... I also had to use my favorite Martha Stewart border punch again. I added some pearls and a pearl button and voila! Sometimes, simple is the best!

Thanks for visiting!

Lots of Poppies

I've had a lot of fun playing around with this Poppy and Greetings set. I made a set of cards that are different but use the same 2 pieces of pattern paper, 2 solid color card stock and the same embellies and border punch. All the images were colored with Prismacolor pencils. Isn't it neat how out of the same basic supplies you can achive a varitey of looks? Did you know that this fabulous set is available as clear stamps and as a digi ?! So there's no excuse not to go pick one up for yourself! I'm sure you'll love this set as much as I do:) Thanks for coming by today, have a blessed day.

a True Friend...

We've got a bit of a chill in upstate New York this week, which is surprising for this time of year. My neighbor's poppies are drooping a little, but I just love the splashes of red that borders her fence. My card uses the new CLEAR STAMP set called "Poppies & Greetings" which was recently released. What I love about this stamp set is how crisp the images stamp, and the delightful little greetings that come with it. They are a perfect size to stamp in small spaces on your card. The set includes 2 images and 9 sentiments, and measures approximately 4 x 4 inches. This is a MUST have set, in my eyes!

Here's hoping the rest of your week is filled with God's Grace.

Hugs, Darsie

June Rose in CLEAR STAMP FORM!!!!!!!

HAPPY HUMP DAY!  Does it feel like Wednesday to you?  My body is all messed up from the three-day weekend!!  But, believe it or not, we are already half-way through the week!!!!!!! 

Did you get a chance to participate in the Clear Stamps Celebration BLOG HOP yesterday?  It is so exciting bringing back clear stamps to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps STORE HERE!  DIGIS are wonderful!  I LOVE THEM!! But there are some awesome techniques that can't happen with digis, so I am excited to be inking up again!

For my card above, I used the JUNE ROSE CLEAR STAMP along with a sentiment from the POPPIES AND GREETINGS CLEAR STAMP SET!  Don't these look great together!?  I used Copics to color and some Kaiser Scrapbook pearls to add a special, delicate touch!  The square scallops were made using punches by Stampin' UP!

Be sure to play along STILL TODAY with the blog hop CHALLENGES at the SNR FORUM HERE and see if you were the lucky winner of yesterday's blog candy, too!! 

Blessings on your day!! ~ Nicole
