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)
Welcome dear SNSS Friends! Having celebrated Thanksgiving just one week ago, I want to take a moment to thank Korin and Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps for giving me the opportunity to serve on this awesome Design Team! I love working with the variety of stamping styles, Christ honoring images, and scriptural sentiments offered by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps! I am doubly blessed to live not far from Korin, so have gotten to know her personally, and I can honestly say that she truly is a sweet and generous person determined to follow the leading of the Lord!
With only two days left in November, Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is continuing their five year anniversary celebration with a HUGE Friends of SNSS Blog Hop! Thirty-seven talented Sweet 'n Sassy Friends have prepared tons of eye-pleasing projects using some of your favorite stamp sets and digital images. You might want to grab a warm beverage and some tasty snacks, get comfortable, and get ready to hop along for some wonderful eye candy and a chance to win several Prizes!

If you enjoy silhouettes, SNSS has some gorgeous silhouette stamp sets. One of my personal favorites is Together Silhouettes designed by Dina Kowal.
Creative Nugget: This adorable silhouette image was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black ink, cut with a rectangle Nestie, and sponged with Spun Sugar Distress Ink while still in the Nestie. Smokey Shadow card stock and Basic Grey scallops were layered and stitched to the Vintage Cream card base. A fishtail banner was hand cut and stitched to the card with the main panel popped up on top. A few rolled flowers and die cut leaves were added to finish the card.
Since Christmas is just around the corner, I used the beautiful Vintage Ornaments stamp set and some bleach for my second sample.
Creative Nugget: The "Light of Christmas Background Stamp" and bleach was used to stamp a strip of Smokey Shadow card stock. This produced a kind of burgundy color that is very hard to see in the photo. This strip and a Vintage Cream panel was stitched to Scarlet Jewel card stock and mounted on a Smokey Shadow card base that had bleach applied to the edges. The sentiment from the Vintage Ornaments stamp set was stamped using Scarlet Jewel ink. This panel was sent through the Big Shot with the Canvas Impression Plate. The ornaments were white embossed on Scarlet Jewel card stock, painted with bleach, and fussy cut out. They are hanging on the card with silver cord. Silver bows and pearls were added to finish the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by...SNSS appreciates you so much! Don't forget to leave your comment for a chance to win one of the prizes before continuing on your way. Have Fun Hopping!
Hugs,
