SNSS February Release Blog Hop...

Welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps February New Release Blog Hop!

This month's release is so exciting - it was even released a week early as a surprise! Get your warm beverage and tasty snack, and get ready for some amazing inspiration from the Design Divas!

For my first card, I used Butterfly Flourish clear stamp set. Oh, how I love this set with it's gorgeous butterflies.

For my card, I stamped the image with VersaMark and embossed it with White embossing powder, then I stamped the butterflies on Vellum, embossed and cut them out.

(Others: Yours Truly DP-Echo Park, Layered Arches border punch-Martha Stewart, Circle punch, Seam Binding ribbon, Baker's Twine, Pearls, Prima flower, Sponge Dauber).

The colors are CR84FN47:

My second (pocket) card is using an image and greetings from Thoughtful Rhubarb clear stamp set. I also used the brand new Star Die Set to make the border.

(Other supplies/tools: Swiss Dots embossing folder-Cuttlebug, Labels 18 die-Spellbinders, Pearls, Buttons, Baker's Twine, Sewing Machine-Janome, Library Clip)

I actually used 2 sketches to make my pocket card. One was yesterday's sketch from SplitCoast Stampers (SC#370) and for the pocket insert, I used the sketch from Paper Players challenge #80. How is that for challenges? The colors are from ColourQ #122 (Black, Kraft, Pink and Red-except I had to use Pink Pirouette instead of Regal Rose).

Now take a look at what the the other Design Divas came up with using the fabulous new stamp sets and dies from the February Release:
