Happily ever after

Hi friends! Happy Monday to you all. Summer is here and also wedding days!! Although I don't have any wedding celebration coming soon, I have a wedding card for you using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.

This card is super simple, I started stamping the Delightfully Delicate Background on a piece of white cardstock in Versamark ink, then added white embossing powder and heat set. After that I sponged the piece with Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress inks. Then I stamped the sentiment from Prim Blessings Set in Jet Archival Ink.
Die-cut a stitched label, stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers, I used TN1, TN2, TN3, DR3, FS3, BT1, BT2.
Added the label to card with dimensionals. Finally, I added ribbon and pearls.

Remember, Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps has an "Anything Goes" Challenge, you can submit your projects HERE

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps June Release.

Welcome to Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps June 2014 Release.  We have a small release to share with you today…just two stamps and a die set, but what fabulous and versatile stamp sets they are.  The DT has been having a lot of fun with these sets as you will see as you hop along to each of their blogs.

It wouldn't be a Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Release without fun prizes and a challenge so here are the details!

~One random commenter from one of the DT blogs will be selected to win a $10 Gift Code to be used at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.  You have until Thursday, July 3rd at midnight EST to leave your comments.  The winner will be posted on the 
Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog on Friday, July 4th!

~ Our Release Challenge this week is: "Anything Goes!"  You have until Thursday, July 3rd at midnight EST to enter.  One winner will be randomly selected to receive a $20 Gift Code to be used at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.  If we have 50 participants (not including the DT), 2 winners will be selected to each receive a $20 Gift Code, so invite your friends to play along!  The winner (or winners) will be posted on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog on Friday, July 4th. 
(Guidelines for the challenge are listed below!)

 Now, on to the Release!
First up…What's Up and Arrow Dies




  • Stamp set includes 8 images and 14 Sentiments
  • Set measures approximately 4" x 6"
  • The segmented arrow measures approximately 1 7/8" x 3/4" 
  • Designed by Korin Sutherland
  • Stamp set price is $15
  • Die set includes 15 arrow dies
  • Coordinating die set price is $16.75

You'll love playing with these fun images and combining the 14 different sentiments to make your card say just the right thing!  The best part is the die set includes a die for each of the arrow images making it a snap to add an arrow to any card creation!


This is the card I created with this set. I started with a stencil and sponging around neon inks, I am not a neon person, but the effect was pretty cool!! Then I stamped the arrow around, added the sentiment in Coffee Archival and stamped the dotted arrow in Kraft cardstock and cut out. As a final touch I added a wood veneer arrow.

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

And next... Birthday Word Art


  • Stamp set includes 13 large sentiments
  • Set measures approximately 6" x 8"
  • The row of numbers measures approximately 4 1/8" x 5/8" 
  • Designed by Gloria Stengel
  • Stamp set price is $26

These 13 large sentiments are perfect for making birthday cards for friends and family alike!


This is the card I have for you using this set, to be honest the colors are not as bright as IRL. Pretty easy card, just stamped the sentiment and die-cut the balloon, added stitches and ribbon and voila!!

Hello friends!! Hope you are having a fantastic day! I don't know if you like soccer, but I am a BIG FAN!! I love soccer since I remember, always watching it with my dad and brother, good memories, now the Brazil World Cup is here and I've been watching all the soccer games, crazy I know!

Anyway, talking about something else, I want to show you a couple of Bridal Cards I made, these were a special request and I love how they turned out.
I used a digital image from digistamps4joy, this one is called "To have and to hold". The images were colored with Spectrum Noir Markers. The sentiments were computer generated.
All dies used are from Spellbinders.

Hola

Hello friends! Happy Monday to you all! Today, I am sharing with you a card I created for Latina Crafter. Every month Latina Crafter has a sketch for you to play along, this month we have added a twist, you can use the picture as an inspiration.

This is the sketch + inspirations picture:



And this is my interpretation. I stamped the tipi from the Tribal set in Jet Black Archival ink, then die-cut, embossed and stenciled the image. Follow the sketch, added stitches, peridot and turquoise sequins and a couple of wood veneers arrows. Finally added a bow.
