Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps October Release Blog Hop...

Hello dear friends and Happy Release Day to you! 

The SNSS DT has been busy preparing for today's fabulous blog hop and virtual stamp day, and we hope you will join us in celebrating our newest stamp sets. This month we are focusing on Christmas!

My first card is featuring Seek Him Still clear stamp set:

-----

I decided to do something simple... I stamped the silhouette image on Kraft with VersaMark and heat embossed it with White embossing powder. (Did the same with the greeting.) Then I die-cut the white frame with Spellbinders Labels 18 and Oval dies. The background is dry embossed. To add some sparkle to the card, I used silver glitter glue around the edges.

On my second card, I used Holiday Baubles clear stamp set:

-----

It's such a fun stamp set with different two-step images. You can build a number of different borders/images. I did some heat embossing again. The light bulbs are stamped with red ink on the DP, then I went over the images with VersaMark pen, and heat embossed them with Psychedelic embossing powder.

We've got lots of eye candy to share that will certainly put you in the holiday mood. :)  Be sure not to miss a single stop along the way because we'll be drawing one lucky commenter from a random DT blog to win a $25 credit to the store!!
