Welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps March Release Celebration! The Design Divas are so excited to be kicking off this month's amazing stamp release with a blog hop today. You are probably joining me from Amber's blog; if not, be sure to head back to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps blog so you don't miss a thing! This is my absolute favorite relese this year. I love every single set.
My first project was made using Vintage Postcard clear stamp set. Oh, how I love these images. I love using lots of images on my cards and this set is full of fabulous elements you can use together, or one at a time just to add something extra to your card.
It's hard to see since some of the images are covered up, but I used 6 of the new images to build my background.
I also used Friendship Script BG stamp (new), Thinking of You, and Wildflowers clear stamp sets. The postage stamp was die-cut with the brand new Pennants & More die set. The inspiration for this card came from The Shabby Tea Room #103.
I have another sample card using Vintage Postcard HERE.
My second card is bright and cheerful. The opposite of my vintage one. I like color challenges and ColourQ #126 (Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Lucky Limeade) was perfect for my festive card. I used Ticket Sentiments and Vintage Postcard clear stamp sets along with Pennants & More die set, and New Creature clear stamp set.
I also used Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily die, and Spiral punch (SU!).
We hope you are enjoying checking out the projects as much as we've enjoyed making them! Your next stop is Kim's blog. And just in case, here is the whole list of team members hopping along with us today:

After the hop, make plans to join us for our New Release Party over in our Member Company Forums on Splitcoaststampers. We'll have full reveals of all the stamp and die sets being released this month, challenges to inspire you, and of course fun chatter with great friends! See you there!

This release is perfect for your stamping style, Monika! Both cards are fabulous! Love the vintage postcard with the distressing and the vellum. Combining the tickets with the doily and the butterfly was such a great idea! You go, girl!
