sweet 'n sassy stamps. peony cluster & happy couple.

Hello Sweet Friends! I am so behind with posting! Somehow my sweet little blog just got neglected... first day after day, then week after week... and now it's month after month... God is just taking me in different directions, like nursing my hubby as he recovers from broken ribs, doing 2 VBS clubs for a week... getting ready for camping... Life is good though! God is good, all the time!  

I have couple of cards from previous releases from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. You might have seen these on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog or on Instagram... first up is Peony Cluster clear stamp set:

I water colored the image with Kuretake Gansai Tambi water color. I popped up the panel on fun foam to give some dimension to the card... it added a really nice touch to the fairly simple design... 

My second card is using Happy Couple clear stamp set:

I used gold ink with black... simple, but classy. The background stamp is an old find at Michael's...

Thanks for stopping by,

Monika

pop-up bridge card and paper clip bookmark.

Hello Sweet Friends! I saw a cool video tutorial by Jennifer McGuire and I just had to give it a try!

The folds are super easy, then it's just a matter of time before you have a cool pop-up card.

I stamped the big bloom image with VersaFine ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder...  then I water colored it messily with Jane Davenport markers, spritzed it with water and let it dry... the small flowers were colored the same way...

I also have a quick project, a sweet paper clip bookmark. I decorated the front with leftover images from my desk... including the sweet heat embossed vellum butterfly...

I am linking my card up at Word Art Wednesday: Anything Goes #394-#395 and at Happy Little Stampers July Watercolour Challenge.

sweet 'n sassy stamps. delightful daisies.

Hello Sweet Friends! I am just popping in with a card using Delightful Daisies clear stamp set:

I stamped the flower images with VersaFine ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder...  then I water colored them messily with Jane Davenport markers, spritzed them with water and let them dry... the background was made with Tim Holtz alcohol inks... so cool! The vellum butterfly lay-over is just a scrap piece I was going to toss (die-cut it with a background die I got at Hobby Lobby), but decided to keep it and it was the perfect piece for the background...

I also have a card with Peony Cluster clear stamp set, which is now available for regular order. It was the May Stamp if the Month set...

I heat embossed the image with white embossing powder then colored it in with Jane Davenport markers... and to get the cool look, I spritzed the card stock with water and let the water do it's magic!

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps April Release Blog Hop

Hello Sweet Friends!  Welcome to our April Release Hop! We're so excited about the new stamps available in the shop this month and can't wait to share the projects we've been working on with you! Hop along to the blogs linked below for all sorts of papercrafting inspiration with the April stamps. Leave a little comment love on each stop along the way for a chance to win a $10 gift voucher to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps shop.

Winner will be announced on the SNSS blog, Tuesday, April 23.

 I have couple of flower cards showcasing 2 of the new sets.

My first card is with Delightful Daisies clear stamp set along with Keep InTouch Too clear stamp set:

It's been a while since I did stitching on my cards, so it was a nice change. On this card, I used my machine as I was going through thick layers... the flowers were stamped on water color card stock with VersaMark ink, then heat embossed with white embossing powder... to add the colors, I loosely water colored them with Jane Davenport markers, then spritzed water on the card stock to disperse the color... the background was water colored with green Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay ink...

My second card was made with the April Stamp of the Month: Happy Days clear stamp sets:

This time, I heat embossed the images on vellum using VersaMark ink and white embossing powder. The stitching was done by hand... just pierced the holes then using a needle and thread, I stitched a line...

The greeting was stamped from Thoughtful Words clear stamp set. 

Your next stop on the hop is Sheri Gilson.
