Let's Hear it for the Boys Blog Hop with Sweet 'n Sassy

Hi everyone and welcome to the fabulous all boys Sweet 'n Sassy blog hop! I love that we're taking a day to celebrate the fabulous men and boys in our lives! (This coming from someone who is surrounded by boys...hubby, two little men in training, and even a male cat! LOL!)

I opted to celebrate the great outdoors with my card, that I did in fact make for my hubby for Father's Day. I started by using Distress Ink and a blending tool to make my sunset background. Then I just needed to stamp the tree image from the Tender Thoughts stamp set on my background. The deer was stamped on a piece of scrap paper and fussy cut, then attached with foam tape. The sentiment is actually from the Birthday Word Art stamp set (I added Happy Father's Day inside the card). And since the tree image is large, I used a whole bunch of paper layers for design on the card (along with one piece embossed cardstock). 

Hope you enjoy today's hop and wishing all those dads out there a Happy Father's Day!

Blast from the Past

Hey, hey, it's release day! Sweet 'n Sassy is releasing some new digis today, so here to check them out!

For my card, I thought I'd use a previously released image on a card today...something I'd like to try doing on a weekly basis, so we don't forget about all those other fabulous SNSS stamps!! :-) The image is from the Little Boy Toys stamp set, which includes four sweet boy-themed images and five sentiments. I thought I'd create a card that could work for Father's Day and I used a Nestibilities to create the card itself and then layered a cloud background (created with a template, ink, and sponge) and the airplane. The little cloud image is also included with the stamp set and I love the addition of it over the back of the plane. For the sentiment, I inked one word at a time so I could create a long line instead of a block layout, as it was created. The tiny chipboard star I happened to find in my stash when I was looking for something else and I thought it was a great addition!

Be sure to stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy web site today to check out the new releases....and the old!

Enjoy!
