Sassy Studio Designs Star Wars Release Hop

Today is the day. The wait is finally over. All you Star Wars fans are in for a real treat! So hold onto your seats and get ready to be amazed by the new Out of This World designs!

You should have arrived here from Kitty's blog after experiencing the awesomeness of her creativity. If not following the hop order below.

Meet Earnest the Ewok. I gave him that name. I am not a Star Wars fan and didn't have the slightest idea what an Ewok is. I that Chewbacca was an Ewok! Anyway, thanks to Google I think I did a pretty good job of bringinging my Ewok to life.

I colored the image with Copic Markers highlighting the end of the spear with a Glitter pen. The base is Kraft cardstock. The paper is from DCWV and I used die cuts from Frantic Stamper Stitched Scene Builder Edger as well as the Mushroom Trio. The sentiment is from Create w/TLC and was cut with a Sizzix Stars #2 die. Earnest is popped up with adhesive craft foam. I also incorporated glitter paper and Faded Jeans and Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Be sure to hop over to Cindy's blog on the next stop of this epic Star Wars ride! And don't forget

Frantic Stamper Grandfather Clock

I created this card using the new Grandfather Clock die from Frantic Stamper. The detailing in the clock is awesome and lends itself well to paper piecing. I paper pieced the clock face and added bling for some added interest. The gold foil highlights the pendulum details. The sentiment is highlighted with a die from my go-to dies set...Elementals #1 die set.

Using papers from my stash along with a Tim Holtz die and Ranger Vintage Photo Distress ink, this card came together just as I envisioned it!

Sassy Studio Designs Flashback Friday

Every since I upgraded to Windows 10 my computer has wigged out. This post was scheduled for last Friday. When I checked this morning it still hadn't posted WTH.

After coloring the image with Copic markers, using Kraft cardstock I cut two blackout images of an apple with the Cricut. I scored 1/2" down from top on one image then added glue above the score line to glue the two images and created a shaped card. I continued cutting the other layers of the apple and glued them all together. Next I added Ranger Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the edges to add some additional depth. I added Stickles to the bottom of the apple for some sparkle and used foil paper and a Martha Stewart punch for the butterflies. I used Frantic Stamper Precision dies to highlight the sentiment and the "bluebird" along with blue glitter paper. I thought the card was looking too CAS so I added the Frantage and got just the look I wanted. Finally the sentiment was a freebie from Create w/TLC.

Easy Shaker Cards

I like changing things up sometime and creating Shaker Cards is one way to do that. Try this easy tutorial and you'll be creating your own shaker cards in no time!
First assemble ingredients. Along with card stock you'll need, adhesive of your choice, scissors, die cutting machine and an option embossing folder.
Craft foam to match cardstock

Recycled acrylic packaging

Sequins

Die cut frame

A frame cut from craft foam but a little smaller. Do not die cut. Use scissors

 Use the recycled acrylic packaging to cut a shape a little larger than your frame center

After all elements are cut and assembled

Emboss shaker background using a piece of cardstock that is slight smaller than the inside cut of the craft foam frame

Adhere the embossed paper to cut frame

 Adhere the foam frame to embossed cut and sprinkle with sequins

Adhere the recycled package (acrylic) to foam frame

Adhere cardstock frame to paper frame, then adhere entire shaker to cardstock base.

Add die cut sentiment and voila!
