Sweet 'n Sassy Featured Stamps of 2014 - The Future

 

Happy Monday!  Today Sweet 'n Sassy is continuing their month long celebration, featuring a select group of sets.  (Hit the SNSS blog to see more goodies!)  My card features the sentiment set, The Future.  This set includes 10 sentiments for only $15!  What a great deal!

  I used a whole bunch of other sets on my card (why use just one?!) today.  The text background, over the grey polka dot paper is the Friendship Script background set.  This is a stamp that I use again and again...it's such a great image to use as an accent or background.  Love it!  I also framed my sentiment using the Decorative Frames stamp set.  I adore being able to add aa edge design to the frame...how divine!  Finally, I couldn't create a card without including some butterflies so I die cut three of these beauties, using the Majestic Monarchs die set and then used the matching stamps to decorate.  (I just die cut the butterflies out of a piece of scrap paper that was already inked).  The velvet flower and stick pins are from Maya Road.

Hope you enjoyed today's card!  Be sure to check back tomorrow or a new mixed media 3-D project, Wednesday is the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop (LOTS of prizes up for grabs), Thursday I'll be sharing a card featuring some fun mixed media techniques, and Friday Sweet 'n Sassy will be featuring another set!  Lots of action on the blog this week...don't miss the fun!

Sweet 'n Sassy Release Celebration - The Future

 

Welcome to day two of the Sweet 'n Sassy Release Week Celebration...aren't you having a blast so far!  I know I am...I just adore this month's release!  Today's stamp set is called The Future and it includes a number of beautiful and encouraging sentiments.  This set is perfect for cards that tell loved ones you're thinking about them and to remind them that God is in control...(Amen for that!)

To create my card, I first used a bookmark die to cut out a piece of cardstock for the sentiment.  I then stamped one of the swirls from the Leafy Flourish stamp set on the bookmark, which I did need to trim to fit onto the card.  The sentiment is layered over the swirl (have I told you how much I love swirls?).  Then I got to decorating...pretty paper, rhinestone swirls, flowers, more die cuts and two sweet text butterflies, cut using the new Monarchs die set (more on that new product in a few days!)
