What's Up??

Happy Wednesday, Friends!! Birthday celebrations are what's up in my neck of the woods!  Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps continues a month long celebration of 8 wonderful years serving our customers!  I hope you've been following along over at the Sweet N Sassy Blog for weekly deals and inspiration!  I don't want you to miss anything!

Today, I have a few samples I created using Sweet N Sassy's What's Up? clear stamp set and matching dies.  The first card, above ^, is pretty straight forward and makes use of a number of the dies--there are 15 dies in total some are chunky and some are skinny----good for lots of creative ideas!  In addition, the stamp set is full of just the right kind of encouraging words--perfect pick me ups!

My second card features What's Up along with Words of Life-Collection 2, Message of Hope, Keep In Touch Too and Words of Life-Common Words 1.

 I struggle with out of the box thinking, at times so, it's always fun to pull bits and pieces together like this--I surprise myself!

Keep in mind, for a few more days (through Thursday) your $80+ dollar purchase will include your choice of a free stamps set valued up to $15.95 over in the Sweet N Sassy Store.  Be sure to use code BDAYFREESET when placing your order!


Have a great day!  TTFN, Jane

Goodie, Goodie!!! It's Release Day!

It's Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps Release Day, Friends!!!  I'm excited to share the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps October Release and Blog Hop with you today! There are  four brand new stamp sets plus four new products from the October Sweet Perks Club that have been added to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store!  You can check out the whole release on the Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps blog, right here.

The inspiration for my first project came from this week's Splitcoaststamper's Try A New Technique challenge.  The challenge is to use Watercolor Powders.  You can review the challenge and Dina's tutorial, right here.  I used Bisters as my powder and a stencil.  I completed my project using the brand new set, Message of Hope.  I also used Borders & Backgrounds.

You can see that I'm pretty excited about this set and even used it to stamp on a painted rock!  I have a little terrarium that looks a bit like this that I have added it to.  The perfect crafty touch!

Every once in a while I find a treasure from eons ago and decide that it's time has come.  I bought this frame years ago--it's covered in denim--when framed art was first making the rounds.  I decided to finally use it and created this little 8 x 8 decor item, using Name Above All Names.  I love this set!  It's hard to see, but I started by stamping all of the Name stamps on the background and then added several distress inks.

 I created my final project using a stencil (the large polka dots) and then overstamping with several images from Grunge Elements 2.  The focal image on the card is also from Name Above All Names.

I hope you are feeling inspired--be sure to see what the rest of the team has shared!  Go be awesome!  Jane
