Welcome to Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps July Release blog hop. We have a full day of fun planned for you with fabulous samples and an all day Virtual Stamp Day with challenges and prizes at SplitCoast Stampers.
Here's the Virtual Stamp Day Celebration Schedule:
10:00 AM -- CAS Challenge
12:00 PM -- Color Challenge
2:00 PM -- Sketch Challenge
4:00 PM -- Product Challenge
6:00 PM -- Inspiration Challenge
8:00 PM -- Theme Challenge
The full release is already available in the STORE... there is a July bundle, and also a free stamp set w/$50 purchase. More info HERE.
My first project is a card, using The Sea clear stamp set. It's a lovely silhouette image with special quotes.
I also used the brand new Decorative Plaque die set along with the coordinating Decorative Frame Toppers clear stamp set... also used Vintage Postcard and Ticket Sentiments clear stamp sets, and Pennants & More die set. You know how much I love mixing my stamps. I used an old book page behind the opening I cut with the die.

My second project is a tag, using Decorative Plaque die set along with the coordinating Decorative Frame Toppers clear stamp set.
The greeting is from True Friend clear stamp set. The tag is die-cut with Tim Holtz die. The rosette is made from SU! patter paper.
Monika Davis <--- You are here!
One lucky blog hopper will win the entire July release... so make sure you leave a comment as you hop along. Winner will be announced Friday, July 13th.
Your last stop today is Korin's blog.
Thanks for stopping by,
Monika
You always rock the torn edge/vintage shabby chic look, Monika. The different layers of your sailboat card are just awesome; I love how the text peeks through the die cut and the image goes over all the other layers. Your tag is terrific, too!

You never cease to amaze me, Monika! LOVE the way you've softened this whole card with your sheet of vellum, and I cannot get over that fabulous, rich, blue-green color! Delish!
