Summer Die-Version

Welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Summer Die-Version Blog Hop!  We are so thrilled to bring you 3 fabulous new die sets today, plus oodles of eye candy for your creative taste buds. :) 
Before we get to sharing the pretties, check out these wonderful new dies!


Largest die measures approximately 3/4" x 1 1/2" 

Shape Dies   $19.75
Triangle side measures approximately 1 1/2"

Wave Dies   $8.50
Dies measure approximately 5 1/2" wide


How fun are they?!  Wait till you see what the DT did with them!! 

I have 2 cards to share with you today using dies from all 3 sets.  Here is my first card using the wave dies:



Beach Bum Cocoa was colored with copics and I added the sky behind him using the cloud dies as a stencil and sponging it in with Soft Sky ink.  I then added the clouds which I accented with stickles with foam tape.  Finally I cut out my waves and used the actual die cut with the negative portion that was left so I have 2 layers.  The bottom layered was adhered with foam tape for dimension and stickles was added to the tips of the waves.

My second card is a CAS card and uses both the shape dies and the small leaves dies.  Oh my goodness the number of possibilities with the shape dies- so fun!!!


I used the rounded corner die and cut 4 different blocks from Melon Mambo, Pumpkin pie, Turquoise, and Summer Sun.  I then popped up the leaves which were stamped with the Nature Silhouettes 2 stamp set which coordinates with the Small Leaves dies.  Add matting in both white and black and accent with rhinestones.

Check out some more awesome samples created by my fellow DT members below.

Be sure to comment at each stop along the way for a chance to win!  We will be awarding 3 winners one of the new die sets!

Happy Hopping!!
