Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps June 2014 Release

Welcome to Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps June 2014 Release. We have a small release to share with you today…just two stamp sets and a die set, but what fabulous and versatile stamp sets they are.  The DT has been having a lot of fun with these sets as you will see as you hop along to each of their blogs.

It wouldn't be a Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Release without fun prizes and a challenge so here are the details:

~One random commenter from one of the DT blogs will be selected to win a $10 Gift Code to be used at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.  You have until Thursday, July 3rd at midnight EST to leave your comments.  The winner will be posted on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog on Friday, July 4th!

~ Our Release Challenge this week is: "Anything Goes!"  You have until Thursday, July 3rd at midnight EST to enter.  One winner will be randomly selected to receive a $20 Gift Code to be used at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.  If we have 50 participants (not including the DT), 2 winners will be selected to each receive a $20 Gift Code, so invite your friends to play along!  The winner (or winners) will be posted on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog on Friday, July 4th. 

(Guidelines for the challenge are listed below!)

 Now, on to the Release!
First up…What's Up! and Arrow Dies

• Stamp set includes 8 images and 14 Sentiments
• Set measures approximately 4" x 6"
• The segmented arrow measures approximately 1 7/8" x 3/4" 
• Designed by Korin Sutherland
• Stamp set price is $15
• Die set includes 15 arrow dies
• Coordinating die set price is $16.75

You'll love playing with these fun images and combining the 14 different sentiments to make your card say just the right thing!  The best part is the die set includes a die to coordinate with each of the arrow images AND smaller nested arrows making it a snap to add an arrow to any card creation!

And next…Birthday Word Art

• Stamp set includes 13 large sentiments
• Set measures approximately 6" x 8"
• The row of numbers measures approximately 4 1/8" x 5/8" 
• Designed by Gloria Stengel
• Stamp set price is $26

These 13 large sentiments are fabulous for making birthday cards for anyone, and the row of numbers is perfect for making a background!

Here are two cards made with the stamp sets from our June release:

Creative Nugget:  Three different colors of distress inks were rubbed onto the label side of a chevron embossing folder and spritzed with water.  A piece of mixed media paper was placed between the embossing folder and the ink was rubbed onto the panel to create the background.  The Majestic Monarchs were colored with the same colors of distress inks and cut with the Monarch Dies.  Arrows and sentiments from the What's Up! stamp set were added along with a few sequins and rhinestones to finish the card.

Creative Nugget:  This card was inspired by an On Line Class taught by Jennifer McGuire.  The Majestic Monarchs were white embossed on a piece of Solar Crest card stock.  Sections of the background were masked and sponged with Memento inks.  The number strip from the Birthday Word Art set and the Music Background were lightly stamped in more neutral colors over the embossed panel.  A paper towel was used to remove the ink from the embossed images.  A frame was made using Spellbinder dies.  The sentiment was white embossed and attached with glue dots under the rhinestones, hiding the adhesive.  More gem stones were added to finish the card.  I will be using this card for a birthday card, but it could very easily be used for any occasion!

Before I let you go, don't forget about our release day challenge and chance to win a $20 store gift code!
