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 October 2019 Release Blog Hop


Hello friends and welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps October 2019 New Release Blog Hop!  We are so excited about the release this month...get ready to see some amazing creations by the Creative Team.  



Hop along and leave a little comment love for the designers linked below and you just might be a lucky winner.  One lucky comment from all the comments along the hop will win a $10 gift voucher to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.  The winner will be announced on the SNSS Blog on Wednesday, October 23th.

For my first sample I used the adorable Rhubarb's Harvest stamp set which is a remix of many of the favorite retired Rhubarb stamp sets perfect for fall.


Creative Nugget:  The outline hexagons from the Cheerful Hexies stamp set were white embossed on a Kraft panel.  White and black acrylic paints were splattered onto the panel.  Oxide inks were applied to the solid hexagons, spritzed with water and stamped on a piece of mixed media paper.  The matching outline stamps were stamped in black making a border around each shape.  The hexagons were cut with my Scan 'N Cut and randomly popped onto the card front.  Rhubarb was colored with Copic Markers, cut out and added to the card.  The sentiment was black embossed on a white strip and tucked under Rhubarb. A jute bow was added to finish the card.

My second sample was made with the new Succulents stamp set.


Creative Nugget:  Oxide inks were streaked on a stitched rectangle panel and stamped with the pebble stamp in the Texture Tiles 2 stamp set.  A sentiment from the Scripty Thoughts stamp set was embossed on a sponged panel and a Penny Black frame die cut was popped on the panel.  Several succulents from the stamp set were colored with Copic Markers, cut out and arranged on the frame.  Some sparkle embellishments were added to finish the card.

The new produces used on the cards above are now available at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.


Ceal is next on the blog list so hop on over to her blog for more fabulous inspiration from the October release!

Thank so much for stopping by...enjoy the rest of the hop and good luck!  Don't forget to check the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog on the 23rd to see if you won!

Blessed Beyond Measure

Hello friends!  Today I am sharing some Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps inspiration for you over on the SNSS Blog.

My first card features a little sneak peek of a wonderful new stamp set being released next week on October 7th as part of the October Release.

Creative Nugget:  Some of the smaller succulents from the stamp set were randomly stamped in light green ink over the background.  The grid from Texture Tiles 1 was stamped in purple ink.  A second panel was embossed with a leafy stencil.  Oxide ink was rubbed onto the raised edges to bring out the detail. This panel was cut in half lengthwise and added to the background. Different succulents from the stamp set were colored with Copic Markers, cut with my Scan 'N Cut and popped onto the card.  A sentiment from the Faith Wordfetti stamp set was white embossed on a purple strip.  A few gems were added to finish the card.

My second card features the adorable Fur-ever Friends stamp set released last month.  This card was also used as the inspiration for the Sketch Challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers.

Creative Nugget:  Stripes of Oxide Inks were sponged on a white panel and then a different leafy stencil was used to emboss some texture on the background.  The wood pattern from Wood Backgrounds was stamped on a strip used to ground the cute little fox which was colored with Copic Markers, cut with my Scan 'N Cut and popped onto the card.  Some of the leaves from the set were colored and added to the card.  The sentiment was stamped on a hand cut banner and white gems were added to finish the card.

The following stamp sets from the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store were used for the cards above:


These cards will be submitted for the following challenges:

Have a wonderful weekend!
