Happy Birthday Sweet 'n Sassy

How exciting to be celebrating Sweet 'n Sassy's birthday!  It's hard to believe Sweet 'n Sassy Sassy Stamps is celebrating five fabulous years this month and I've been with the team for three of those five years....Seriously great times, SNSS is not only one of my favorite stamp companies but Korin is one of my favorite people! :-)  Time definitely flies when you're having fun and creating with Sweet 'n Sassy is full of fun!

We have a lot planned this month in honor of the 5th birthday starting with today's special DT Favorites Blog Hop.  The best part about this hop is that all of the sets the DT is featuring are on sale---25% off today through November 7th!!!

One of my favorite SNSS stamp sets is Everyday Miracles.  I have used this set numerous times...either to grab one of the butterfly images or the sentiments.  And it's no secret that butterflies are one of my favorite images so this has to be a fav set!  I also used Friendship Script on this set, in the background, which is another favorite of mine...it's a perfect accent or background stamp for any style of card!  I colored the butterfly with Distress Markers, using my craft sheet and a water brush to get a watercolor effect.  Want to see a few other cards created with this set?  You can check them out here:

Hey guess what?  I had the opportunity to stamp last night...just for fun!  And for today's sketch challenge, hosted by Sweet 'n Sassy's very own Taylor!  It's been far too long since I've had the time to participate in a SCS challenge and I was excited to have time last night. 

Today's sketch is a fabulous one!  Isn't it different, loved it and thought it provided me with a graet opportunity to use some of my new pretty paper from Authentique (oh how I love Authentique!)  I also love this butterfly from the Sweet 'n Sassy set, Everyday Miracles.  This is seriously one of my favorite butterfly stamps of all time!  I simply stamped this beauty on cardstock, colored it with Copics, added a tiny bit of glitter, and popped it up with foam tape.  The sentiment was stamped on cardstock and I added a few felt flowers that I've had in my stash for more years than I can remember!  The twine on the top of the card is from The Twinery (love their stuff too!)

Enjoy today's card and be sure to check out the sketch challenge and play along!

Everyday Miracles

It's day two of the Sweet 'n Sassy sneak peeks and I'm just all oogly about this next set, Everyday Miracles. I definitely have a thing for butterflies and Korin outdid herself with the beautiful images and sentiments in this new acrylic set, which contains two stunning butterfly images and a boatload of sentiments. For my card I used a reverse masking technique, using the left over piece of paper that I cut the oval out of for yesterday's card. I taped the oval mask onto cardstock and then used a blending tool to lay down a number of Distress Inks; Scattered Straw, Rusty Hinge, and Barn Door. Then before picking up my homemade stencil, I stamped three butterfly images. Once I removed the mask I added the sentiment. Since this was a good size oval, I kept the rest of my card pretty simple, only adding a few black rhinestones and a simple pattern paper from a new Basic Grey called Max & Whiskers. Enjoy and don't forget to check back tomorrow for more sneak peeks!!
