SNSS 8th Birthday Party Blog Hop

Hello friends!  Welcome to Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps 
Birthday Party Blog Hop!  

The Design Divas have created cards featuring some of our favorite Sweet 'n Sassy stamp sets and dies, but that's not all we're sharing!

One lucky commenter will be randomly selected to win a phenomenal PRIZE PACKAGE worth $80!!  Just leave a comment on each of the DT Blogs by 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 12th to be eligible for the prize. We will announce the winner of the prize package on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog on Friday, November 13th so be sure to check back there to see if you won!

The design team has created some wonderful cards to share for our birthday celebration but we'd like to see YOUR creations, too, so feel free to grab your favorite SNSS products and link up using the Linky Tool at the bottom of this post. Each participant will receive a SURPRISE "party favor."  The Linky Tool will remain open until the end of November.  We can't wait to see your sweet 'n sassy creations!

Here is my creation for the hop:

Creative Nugget:  The background panels for my card were made with pigment powders, stencils and baby wipes at a recent Color Burst class taken at a local stamp store.  The left panel was stitched to a scalloped edge cut with one of the dies from the Bookmarks & More Die Set.  The banner girl from the Worship the Lord stamp set was colored with copic markers and hand cut into a banner shape.  A white paint pen was used to draw flowers on her dress to mimic the flowers on the background.  The sentiments are from the Script Birthday and Mini Tags stamp sets. A Gingham bow was added to finish the card.  I love how the stamp sets in the Bible Journaling line can be used to make cards for any occasion.

Here are the products from the 

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store used to make this card sample:

Here are two samples using the new release products.

Creative Nugget:  The snowflakes from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set and the sled image from the beautiful new Let It Snow stamp set were both stamped in VersaMark ink and embossed with Seafoam White embossing powder on a Kraft panel cut with the Flourished Star Pattern Die.  This panel was matted in Vintage Cream and mounted on a Kraft card base.  The gold jingle bells were rolled in VersaMark ink, embossed with Seafoam White to match, and while still hot, embossed with Clear Sparkle Embossing Glitter for some shimmer.  White metallic thread was used to hang the bells and a bow added.  The sentiment was embossed in Kraft on a ticket which was  cut with the new Mini Tags Dies and mounted to a Kraft postage stamp die cut.  Some cheesecloth was tucked behind the sentiment and a popped up snowflake cut with the Snowflake Die was added to finish the card.

Creative Nugget:  The little snowman scene from the Warm Wishes stamp set was colored with Copic markers and the panel mounted to a Neenah Solar Crest card base.  A frame was created on another panel of Neenah and some True Black card stock by cutting circles with the Circle Ornament Die and the Matting Circle Die.  The sentiment from Let It Snow was embossed along with some Swiss Dots on the frame panel which was popped onto the card with foam tape.  Now the fun of adding the Gilded Gate!  A little wreath was made to hang on the gate using the pine bough from the Fancy Foliage Dies The little heart charms and the little tag were cut with the Mini Tags Dies.  The heart charms were glittered, a Mini Tag Sentiment stamped, and both were hung on the gate to finish the card.

Here are the new supplies available at the
