Sweet 'n Sassy Christmas in July Blog Hop

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is celebrating Christmas in July!!! with a really nice blog hop, feauturing old and brand new Christmas stamps!!! I created 2 cards using Christmas Light and Christmas Joy Set!
Lots of great things are happening at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps during these pre-holiday festivities!  ALL Christmas clear stamps are 20% off through Wednesday, July 25.  Three new holiday sets are in stock early, for a fun pre-release, and they you can get them before they are released in September and October... if you buy them now, you can take advantage of the sale price!

Every order of $25 in Christmas clear stamps will receive Gingerbread Man, a darling new 2" x 2" mini clear set.  And as always, all clear stamp orders of $50 or more get this month's free w/ stamp set, Christmas Candle (while supplies last).

Here are the cards I created:

Christmas Light: This is very simple and elegant card. I used "Christmas Light Set" and Christmas Light Candle Die". This is a 5" square card.

Directions:

• Make card base from White Cardstock.
• Cut a panel from White cardstock (4 3/8" square), Score lines at each side of panel (3/8" and 1/2")
• Stamp sentiment in Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Tie on gold tinsel.
• Add a couple of Gold head nails. Mat this piece with a 4.5" square panel of Good as Gold Cardstock.
• Die-cut Candle, stamp image onto die cut piece in Watermark Versamark Ink, add Gold embossing powder and adhere it to card with large Pop dots.
• Adhere panel to card base with large pop dots.

Card Recipe:

• Cardtsock: White, Good as Gold (GKD)
• Stamps: Christmas Light (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps)
• Ink: Watermark Versamark (Tsukineko). Vintage Photo Distress (Ranger)
• Embellishments: Gold Head nails, Gold tinsel (etsy)
• Accessories: Candle Light Die (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps), Scor-buddy, Pop dots, Scor-tape.

========================

Merry Christmas: I called this card my AOLC: Almost One Layer Card. I made it that way, but then I decided to change it a little bit and stamped an extra image, die-cut it using one of the new die-cuts from SNSS, I like it much better this way :)

Directions:

• Make card base from White cardstock. A2 size.
• Stamp image on card in Barn Door Distress Ink.
• Stamp sentiment in Forest Moss Distress Ink.
• Tie on ribbon, Create a triple bow with Bow-easy. Add a gold brad and adhere it to card.
• Add Green Rhinestones.
• Stamp image on an extra piece of White cardstock. Die-cut it and stamp Decorative Toppers.
• Adhere die-cut piece to card.

Card Recipe:

• Cardstock: White (GKD)
• Stamps: Christmas Joy, Decorative Frame Toppers (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps)
• Ink: Barn Door Distress, Forest Moss Distress (Ranger)
• Embellishments: Green Seam Binding Ribbon (etsy), Gold brad (American Crafts), Green Rhinestones (KaiserCraft)
