And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness
and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)

SNSS Celebrates Christmas in July!

Hello friends, and welcome to 
Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Christmas in July Blog Hop & Sale   

It's time for me to seriously begin working on my Christmas cards for this year…how about you?  The Creative Design Team at SNSS has just the inspiration you need to put you in the Christmas spirit, so grab your favorite beverage and hop along with us.  Just click on the team thumbnails at the end of this post and you will be taken to each of the designers' blogs to see the details for each amazing creation…the links will be at the end of each blog so you will not get lost along the way.  While you are at each blog, leave some love behind because one lucky person will be randomly chosen from all the comments to win a FREE (in stock) Christmas stamp set of your choice from the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store!


For my sample, I chose to use the darling Season's Greetings stamp set!
Creative Nugget:  The Tree Background was stamped in brown ink on a Neenah Solar White panel then shifted slightly, stamped again with VersaMark ink and white embossed to look like snow. Distress inks were sponged around the edges and again across the bottom to create a few snow drifts.  A Darice embossing folder was used to create some snowy texture on the panel and white acrylic paint splatters added.  One of the Hillside Edges Dies were used to cut a hillside out of vellum on which the sentiment was embossed.  This was mounted to the bottom of the card and a Fence die cut added.  The images from the Season's Greetings stamp set were colored with Copic Markers, cut with the matching Season's Greeting Die Set, and popped onto the card. The two smaller birdhouses were tied to the tree branch with metallic thread. 


Here are the SNSS products used to make this card:

Cardinal Wishes

Hello friends!  It's my turn to post on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog so thought I would post here as well.  With only two more weeks until Christmas, the crunch is on to finish up all the needed cards.  This one will go to my nephew.

Creative Nugget:  The inspiration for my card came from Ally's Sketch on Splitcoaststampers this week and the many cardinals that visit our evergreens in the backyard.  The images from the darling Season's Greetings stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps were colored with Copic Markers and cut with the matching Season's Greetings Dies.  Stickles were used to add some sparkle to the snow and splatters of acrylic paint complete the wintery look.  Hope my nephew likes his card!

This card will be entered in the following challenges:
CASology #176 - Tree
City Crafter #291 - It's All About Winter
Crafting From the Heart #89 - Anything Goes
FUSION - Photo Inspiration (colors and cardinal)

Thanks so much for stopping by…have a wonderful weekend!

SNSS September 2015 Release and Blog Hop


Hello, sweet friends!  Welcome to Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps September 2015 Release and Blog Hop!  We are super excited to be releasing five brand new stamp sets this month and adding four new products from the September Sweet Perks Club to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store!  

Time to check out our gorgeous release for September 2015…

My first sample uses the adorable Season's Greetings stamp set!

Creative Nugget:  The Echo Park papers and snow drifts cut with the Hillside Edges Dies were matted and stitched together using the design from the Sketch Saturday sketch from this week.  The images from Season's Greetings were colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut, and popped onto the scene.  The cardinal is sitting on a Fence die cut from the DP.  A sentiment from the set was stamped on a matted oval Nestie and a little embossing and chunky glitter were added to give the card a more wintery look.
$15.95
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas with a few cardinals sitting in a snow laden evergreen…or feeding at a birdhouse filled with sunflower seeds.  The brilliant red of the cardinal against the pristine white of snow makes a pretty picture, and so will the images from this adorable stamp set.

  • Stamp set includes 6 images and 4 sentiments
  • Stamp set measures approximately 4" x 6"
  • The large birdhouse image measures approximately 3 1/4" x 1 5/8"
  • Designed by Korin Sutherland

My second sample shows how Bible Journaling stamp sets can also be used to create cards making them doubly versatile!


Creative Nugget:  The background was made by spritzing Dylusions Ink Sprays on a piece of Mixed Media paper that had been sprayed with water.  After dry, water was spritzed through stencils to remove some of the ink creating patterns on the background.  Gesso was also scraped through a stencil adding more white to the background, and finally white acrylic paint was splattered over the panel.  Words from the Words of Life: Collection 1 and Words of Life: Common Words 1 were placed on one large acrylic block and stamped at once to achieve the desired spacing and design.  The globe from the Bookmark Bits & Pieces stamp set was then stamped over the sentiment.  The globe was painted with Dylusions ink and Wink of Stella glitter pens. A few tiny rhinestones were added for some sparkle.

This card will also be submitted for the 200th Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge Celebration.

Words of Life: Collection 1
$26.95
The words in this versatile stamp set can be combined to create many different Bible verses that can be used in your Journaling Bibles.  Many of the SNS stamp sets you already have can be used to illustrate the verse.

$15.95
It's hard to make a sentence without using some common words, so this set can be used to complement the Words of Life: Collection 1 set as well as future Bible journaling stamp sets released by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.
  • Stamp set includes 51 common words
  • Stamp set measures approximately 6" x 4"
  • Designed by Korin Sutherland
