You & Me

Hello friends…back for my second post of the new year!  I have two quick cards to share with you which were made with two of the stamp and die bundles that are available from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps for the January Sweet Perks Club.

Creative Nugget:  The Mojo Monday 378 sketch was used for the design of this tall & skinny Valentine card for my honey!  The sentiments and image are from the cute You & Me Bundle.  Liquid Pearls and micro beads make the icing on the donut look good enough to eat.  The funny thing about this card is that I do not like coffee, and my DH does not eat donuts…we complement each other perfectly…he can drink my coffee and I will eat his donut! LOL!

Creative Nugget:  This little scene was so much fun to make and so easy using stamps and dies from the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.  The hills were cut with the new Hillside Edges Dies and stitched to a piece of mixed media paper which had been lightly watercolored with blue reinker.   The sheep are from the Cute Critters Bundle and the Mini Critters stamp set and were colored with Copic Markers.  The clouds, fence, and little heart are all from SNSS die sets.

Here are the supplies used to make both cards:

Here is the Mojo Monday 378 sketch:

Turtley Awesome

Hello friends...happy hump day!  Hope you are having a good week.  I'm sorry to say that today is the last day of mini blog hops for the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps January Release.  The good news is you still have one more day of wonderful inspiration and then tomorrow the winners of each stamp set released will be announced.  Today we are featuring the bigger version of one of the sets you've already seen.  Can you guess what it is?  That's right...Cute Critters!

This adorable set with its cute quips is so versatile, it can be used all through the year.  Just imagine the possibilities of combining this set with the mini version...Mini Critters!

• Set includes seven images and seven sentiments
• Set measures approximately 4" x 6"
• Images measure approximately 1.75" x 1.5"
• Illustrated by Korin Sutherland

Here's my sample for Cute Critters

Creative Nugget:  I had so much fun creating this little pond scene for the turtle image.  I tore and cut various patterned papers from an old retired SU! paper pad and stitched them to a Not Quite Navy card stock panel.  This panel was mounted to a Neenah Solar Crest card front that had been embossed with the Canvas Impression Plate.  A variety of dies, embossing folders, and punches were used to add details to the scene.  The turtle was colored with Copic Markers, cut out, and popped onto the lily pad. Some Glossy Accents was added to the turtle's shell for added texture.  This card will be perfect for one of my nephews because they are turtley awesome!
