Sweet N Sassy stamps blog hop day 3

Today is the last day of the Sweet N Sassy stamps blog hop. The DT members have had some really great projects to share. If you have not already been hopping then you will want to start out at the SNSS blog because you won't want to miss any of the super samples. The theme for this month is "take a walk on the wild side". I am featuring the baby blessings set on my card.



I stamp my hippo 3 times, once onto the white and twice and onto the patterned paper. I cut out the 2 patterned hippos and attached them with pop dots for dimension. I sewed all the layers and added pearls and twill ribbon as embellishments.

mojo Monday 94 - CONTEST

Good mojo Monday to you! This week's fab-o sketch is a contest week. Julee is giving away 7 awesome Verve sets of the winners' choice so I hope you will have a chance to play this week.

I really struggled with my card this week as I have had a sinus headache and it was very late last night when I finally finished it up. See the sketch and my sample below:





I used the newly released In His Time set from Sweet N Sassy stamps for my card today. I really love the scripture in it. I paper pieced the moth and actually made it shorter so it would fit on my card. I used a spica glitter pen on it and accented with black pearls. I also used a multi-liner pen to doodle a frame around the scripture.

Supplies:
stamps- Sweet N Sassy stamps In His Time
CS- black eclipse from Paper Temptress, BG Ambrosia dp
accessories- black pearls, spica glitter pen, grey taffeta ribbon

Sweet Stop Sketch 11

Hello everyone and Happy 4th of July to all the Americans!! Doing anything special to celebrate? Not sure exactly what we are doing here yet. Probably try to see some fireworks tonight.

Korin has a great sketch for us to use again on the Sweet Stop Blog. See the sketch and my sample below:





I decided to create my own patterned paper using the circle border stamp from the newly released beautiful borders set. This is the same set I used to create the CAS cards on my last post. See how versatile they are- a must have LOL! So I picked these colors because I was playing along with last week's color challenge on SCS. I stamped the borders in tangerine tango ink. I then colored the centers with my Y19 copic and then added the blue dots with my B06 marker. My main image is from the new birthday buddies set which is just so adorable. I think that the mouse is my favorite buddy. He came out darker than I wanted. I wanted to try some new markers that I had not used before and after all the shading it was a bit too dark but oh well. The balloons are cut out and popped up with foam dots and a spica glitter pen was used for the sparkle.



Supplies:
stamps- Sweet N Sassy stamps beautiful borders and birthday buddies
CS- tangerine, white, pacific point, summer sun
accessories- rhinestones, taffeta ribbon, spica glitter pen, primas, corner rounder punch, copics (Y17, Y19, YR00, YR02, YR07, YR09, B05, B06, E70, E74, E77)

Check out the Sweet Stop blog for some awesome inspiration from the rest of the SNSS Sr. DT. They have some great projects to show you!

Have a safe and wonderful holiday!
