Honey of a Bear

Hello Blogger friends!  Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps has been reviewing some of the stamp sets released during 2014, so I have two cards to share with you made from stamp sets that have been featured so far this week.  The first was made with Beary Bountiful Autumn, the feature for today.

Creative Nugget: The colors for today's Color Challenge on Splitcoaststampers were perfect for my card…Hello Honey, Black, and White.  I also used the MOJO Monday Sketch for this week to help with the design.  The hexagon from the Shape Up stamp set was inked in So Saffron and Hello Honey and spritzed with water before stamping on Mixed Media Paper.  Modeling Paste and a Heidi Swapp stencil  were used to add texture to the background. The Skeleton Leaf Background was clear embossed on Hello Honey card stock for the second panel.  Apple picking Rhubarb was colored with Copics and cut with a Circle Nestie.  A sentiment from the Beary Bountiful Autumn set, a Doily Border die cut, and some seam binding finish the card.  Here is the MOJO377 sketch that was used:

My second card was made with From Cocoa's Kitchen which was featured yesterday on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog.

Creative Nugget:  The apron from the Baked for You Die Set was used for the apron shape on the front of this card.  The pockets were made with a corner rounder, a circle punch, and a Doily Border die cut.  Chef Cocoa was colored three times with Copic Markers and different parts of him were fussy cut and popped up for dimension.

Here are the featured stamp sets that were used for my cards today: 

Be sure to check out all of the featured stamp sets and dies on SALE at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store until the end of the year…now that is coming faster than I like to think!

Thanks so much for stopping by…only two days until Christmas!  Have a wonderful day!
