Welcome to SNSS February 2015 Release

Hello, sweet friends!  Welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps February 2015 Release Day Blog Hop! It sure is cold outside, but our February release is sure to warm your heart so grab your favorite hot beverage and get ready to be inspired by the projects created for you by the talented Design Divas! 

You can find out all the details about each of the new stamp sets and dies on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog, but here are several samples to inspire you using some of the new products:

Creative Nugget:  Can you believe that Winter with Winnie was designed by a high school student?  That's right, Wynne Gettelfinger designed Winnie, the adorable character who is so much fun to color up with Copic Markers.  Some snowy patterned paper, a few Small Snowflakes, and one of the new Speech Bubble Dies is all it takes to create a cold winter scene with a choice of some very fun sentiments!  The design for this card was taken from this week's Mojo Monday Sketch.

 SNSS products that were used to make this Winter with Winnie card:

Next up is a card made with one of the new critters designed by Diane Zechman in the Get Well Critters stamp set.

Creative Nugget:  This little chick with a wounded wing from the Get Well Critters stamp set is adorable and sure to perk up the hurting recipient with a smile.  Being able to cut out the image with the matching Get Well Critters Die makes creating a quick get well card a snap.  Just add some patterned paper, some embossing, a few sequins, and a fun sentiment!

SNSS supplies used to make this Get Well Critters card:

My last sample was made with the new remaining products being added to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store, Keep in Touch, Too, Banner Dies, and the Praise the Lord Bluebird Die.

Creative Nugget:  With the freezing weather outside, this card makes me feel like Spring is right around the corner.  The sentiments are all from Gloria Stengel's Keep in Touch, Too set and fit perfectly in some of the new Banner Dies.  Two of the banners were tucked behind the patterned paper strip and the third was popped up on top.  The bluebird is from the favorite Praise the Lord stamp set and was colored with Copic Markers and cut with the new Praise the Lord Bluebird Die.  A bow and some pearls finish the card.

These SNSS materials were used to make this card:
