Singing Praises With Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

Thanks for stopping by again today, friends.  I'm always delighted to have you visit me.  I've been busy the last few days caring for our precious little Miniature Schnauzer, Belle.  She's an old girl now (14) and she has some very serious medical issues going on right now.  In fact, this morning she had one surgery; and she may need more.  I'd sure appreciate your prayers for her quick recovery, for healing, for us to accept whatever happens, and just giving God much PRAISE for allowing us all these happy years with her.  Now...let's talk about this SWEET card I created for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.

This sweet card was created using several awesome products from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  During my time as a Guest Designer for SNSS, I've tried to incorporate some of their digital stamps along with their acrylic stamps, stencils and die-cuts.  This card is a perfect combination of ALL those things.  I am SO in love with all the FAB Background Stamps, Texture Stamps and Stencils at SNSS that help create FUN backgrounds to get you started.

I started with cardstocks that I machine stitched together in black.  Next, I used the Delightfully Delicate Stencil along with the musical notes image found in the Singing Praises Stamp Set to create a fun background.  I printed the Chickadee & Berries Digital Image and colored everything with my Copics, then I fussy cut the entire image.  I also cut several strips (of patterned paper and stencilled paper) using the Scallop Border Die and I layered those just below the Chickadee & Berries where I also wrapped some Solid Black Baker's Twine.

I added a small journalling spot where I stamped the sentiment "Singing praises to the LORD with you" and again the musical notes image which can both be found in the gorgeous Singing Praises Stamp Set.  All of the products from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps can be used together as you can see.  This card includes SNSS digital stamps, acrylic stamps, die cuts and one of their lovely Stencils.  You really will LOVE Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and their wonderful products.  I hope you will stop by to check it out.  Thanks again for visiting me today.

Blessings,

Karen

I'm playing along here in these challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Make Your Own Background - I did just that.  I made this background using a cool stencil, stamped music notes, and Tim Holtz Oxide Inks.

Mod Squad Challenge Blog - Animal Themed Holiday - I made this pretty Christmas card using a pretty bird on branch digital image.  I also stamped the musical notes on the background for that special warm Wintery Holiday feel.

Guest Designing With Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

Today I'm back again sharing another sweet card I created for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I've been having SO much fun as a Guest Designer for SNSS using their amazing products.  The card I'm sharing with you today uses several of their wonderful stamps, and is similar to the card I shared on Tuesday using some of the same stamp sets.  I can't seem to put them away.

For this card, I started with some cardstocks that I layered together and machine stitched just a bit.  I used two of the backgrounds in the Texture Tiles 1 Background Stamp Set in various colors of ink.  There are lots of great Background Stamps at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps to help you create some really cool looking backgrounds.

I stamped the wood slab onto cork paper using the Wood Background Clear Stamp and I used half of the circle as a "nesting spot" for my bird.  I stamped the bird and flowers using the Singing Praises Stamp Set and I water colored the images.  The sentiment is also found in the lovely new Singing Praises Stamp Set.  All the images and sentiments in this set are absolutely beautiful.

I hope you'll stop by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps to look around.  They really have wonderful stamps, dies, stencils and products to help you create something special.  There's also lots of inspiration on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog.  Thanks so much for stopping by today to take a peek.

Blessings,
