And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness
and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)

SNSS Summer Die-Version Blog Hop

Now that summer is finally here, how about a little diversion...that is...a 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!

Small Leaves Dies  $6.25
Shape Dies  $19.75

Wave Dies  $8.50

How fun are they?!  Wait till you see what the Design Team has done with these dies!

Here's what I created using the new
Small Leaves die set:

Creative Nugget:  This card uses the sketch from the Sketch Challenge on SCS this week.  The background  was made with several layers of Dylusions ink sprays.  The little diamond pattern was sponged through a stencil with Peeled Paint and Gathered Twigs Distress inks.  The Queen Anne's Lace from the Nature Silhouettes 2 stamp set was double stamped with Early Espresso Ink to create a shadow and dotted with a white gel pen.  The little leaves were die cut from a variety of left over scraps from my mixed media experiments.  Some of the leaves were embedded using the Canvas Impression Plate and other were popped up for dimension.  The banner was hand cut from Bo Bunny DP and layered onto Early Espresso card stock.  The sentiment from the Prayerful Thoughts stamp set was stamped on the hexagon from the Shapes Dies set.  A ltttle twine bow finishes off the card.

This next fun card was made with the Shapes Dies!

Creative Nugget:  The hexagon shapes were again cut from scraps of DP and mixed media paper and layered onto True Black hexagons...what a good way to use up those scraps!  The sentiment and bees from the Bee Happy Rhubarb stamp set were stamped between the hexagon shapes and embossed with the Canvas Impression Plate.  Gingham ribbon was tied in a bow around the card front which was matted in True Black and mounted to a Golden Harvest card base.  Rhubarb was colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut, and popped onto the card.  Stickles glitter was added to the wings to finish the card!

To see my card made with the Wave Dies set you will have to stop back tomorrow for The Sweet Stop challenge where we will have another wonderful sketch to spark your creativity!

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

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Happy Hopping!!

Oh Hap-Bee Day!

Oh hap-bee day to you, sketch lovin' friends!  Saturday means a new sketch at The Sweet Stop and because it's the third week of the month there's a spin on this one. Since Spring is right around the corner, we want to see birds or bees on your stamping projects this week.  One lucky participant will also be eligible to win a PRIZE...a $15 credit at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps store!


Creative Nugget:  I reached for Bee Happy Rhubarb for my sample this week...he's the most adorable bee....don't you agree!  Here he is, all colored up with Copic Markers and cut with a Hexagon Nestie and mounted on a True Black Scalloped Hexagon.
Lilybeedesign and Studio Calico patterned papers were used for the decorative panels, while the So Saffron panel was embossed with a honeycomb design.  All layers were stitched to True Black mats and attached to a Pure Luxury card base.  The sentiment was stamped on a hand cut banner.  Diamond Stickes adds a bit of sparkle to the wings and pearls were added to Rhubarb's antenna. Doesn't this card just make you want to smile!  Oh Hap-bee day!
