Cat Lovers Blog Hop 2016

Hello friends!

I am excited to be participating in the Cat Lovers Blog Hop today. If you know me, you know I love my kitties, so when asked if Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps would sponsor this hop it was a resounding yes! :)

For my kitty themed projects today I have a few things to share. First up is a fun Bible Journaling page that I created using LOL Cats, a set that was inspired by my own furbabies. Fluff, Tank, Squirt & Squeaker.

This set is FULL of fun images and sentiments that you will grab again and again!

I thoughts the images would working nicely for my page in Philippians about God supplying all my needs.

I had so much fun coloring the images and words for this page using my Prismacolor Pencils. I also used our Outline Alpha, Classy Script Alpha and Camden Market Alpha.

Next, I thought I would share a cute card I made using Diane Zechman's Valentine Critters stamp set. Talk about a fun set! I love all of the sweet images and sentiments in this set but that kitty is just adorable! :D

 I love a good CAS (clean and simple) card and this was a fun one to make my adding some shaped elements, patterned paper and bling. I colored the sweet kitty image with my Copics. I love making valentines and even though it's only Fall I am getting the itch to break out this set again! :D

Speaking of valentines, here is another one I made with a sweet kitty image this time from a set I illustrated called Cute Critters. You don't have to be only a cat lover for this adorable set. It includes many other cute little critters for your pleasure!

 Aren't they so sweet?! They will make the cutest cards for any occasion. Here's my kitty valentine...

This was a super simple card to create just by layering fun patterned papers and adding some twine and bling. The fussy cut kitty takes center stage. He was also colored with my Copic markers.

********************************************************************************

Now there are some wonderful prizes up for grabs during this Cat Lovers Blog Hop so be sure to head over to the MAIN POST and get all the details!

Thank you to Janis for inviting Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps to sponsor your hop and thank you everyone else for hopping along! :D

God bless,
Korin

April Release Blog Hop

Our April release day is here and that means a blog hop and release party :).....if you are just starting the hop here, head back to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog so you can start from the beginning.

For now I have just two cards to share, but I will have more later tonight at the release party :).

First up is a fun card for a little boy's birthday featuring our favorite Cocoa Mouse in a new set called Special Boy Cocoa. I used the SNSS stars and star border dies. The fun papers are from BoBunny and the baker's twine is from The Twinery. I added some Stickles to the stars for a bit of sparkle :).


My next card features a new set called Flower Field....it works wonderfully as a background or a main image. The sentiment is from Dina's new set, Graceful Calla Lily. The papers are from Echo Park and I used the SNSS small scallop die plus some beautiful ribbon I picked up at one of my favorite stores, Joys of Life Scrapbooking.

Ok, your next stop is Jessica Fick. She's got some great stuff to share with you! See you tonight at the party at 8pm EST in our Splitcoaststampers Member Company Forum. We'll be sharing full reveals of the new stamps and dies, plus hosting a few fun challenges with prizes and lots of friendly chatter :).

March Release Day Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps March Release Blog Hop! **Wow, that is a mouth-full!** I am sooooo thrilled to share some of my new creations with you today :). This is a really cool release and I really think you are going to love it :)!

If you came from the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog you came from the right place, if not, head back there to start things off.

First up, I have a card featuring Dina Kowal's new sets, Friendship Script & Vintage Postcard. It also features a couple of our "oldies but goodies", Flowers in Bloom & New Creature.


This next card features two more new sets, Rhubarb's Birthday Wish & Pennant Party, as well as our new dies, Pennants & More. I also used our Scallop Border dies and our Stars dies.


And finally, my last two cards feature my new set, To Paris With Love. I have to tell you when I designed this set I was very nervous.....I like how it turned out but it's still very far out of my comfort zone. ;)

This second Paris card also features a sentiment and banner from last month's Rose Collage set, as well as our Heart dies.


Thanks for hopping with us today!! I hope you enjoyed my cards. Please join us tonight at our release party for full reveals, challenges and chatting! It's going to be a great time!

Your next stop along the hop is the talented and beautiful Jessica Fick :). Enjoy!!

Let's go to the HOP!

Ok, so if you are following along with the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps February Release Blog Hop, you should have just come from the SNSS blog where you saw my Rhubarb card :).....if you didn't, then pop over there before you go any further, so you don't miss anything. There is a ton of eye candy to be seen today :).

So how about those cards I promised :)......

First up is a card I made last week using Bridget's fabulous Reverse Masking tutorial. I love the look of this technique and her sample card is out of the world so when you are done hopping (it's probably best to wait if you are anything like me.....just so you don't forget what you were doing in the first place-lol) head over to see it!


I used a few different sets for this card....Butterfly Flourish, Rose Collage (the smaller butterflies) and Let Go, Let God (sentiment). I think this sentiment is so perfect paired with butterflies.....don't you? :)

The pretty papers I used are from the Stella Rose Gertie pad by My Mind's Eye. I also used a Martha Stewart border punch and then added some gorgeous Island Indigo Stampin Up ribbon to match the cardstock. The glittery butterflies were colored with Copics and then topped with Stickles.

And for my second card, I used Dina's wonderful new set simply titled You.


This card is also a square but it's a bit smaller, measuring 4.25". The gorgeous background DP is from the Victoria Gardens pad by Echo Park and the heart is cut using one of our Heart Dies from a scrap of DP from the same pad of Stella Rose Gertie papers I used in my first card. I sponged around the die cut heart and the stamped panel. I added ribbon and a pretty flower "bob" I found at Hobby Lobby a while back.

Ok, that's all for me for now, but the DT Divas have a ton of other goodies to share so here is the list to send you along your way....

New Digis and a Blog Hop

The digi challenge team is not only bringing you their fantastic challenge today (to make an easel card) but also a fun blog hop featuring our newest digi release :). I decided to join the fun and play along so here's my easel card....


This image is called Celebrate and it features a fun-loving cat named Tank. You may have met Tank around New Year's because I gave him away on our Facebook page. Well, if you missed the freebie you can purchase him now along with 3 other fun digis in a new digi line called Fluff the Cat & Friends. Tank, Fluff, Squirt & Squeaker are my kitties.....well, 4 of them (I have 8 total) and this fun new line of digis is all about them and their silly antics :). I hope you enjoy these new images as much as I enjoy the kitties who inspired them. :)

In addition to the new Fluff & Friends digis we also just released our popular True Friend and You & Me sets as digi sets for all you digi lovers :).

I hope you'll stop by the rest of the blogs in today's line-up.

There is a lot of eye candy to be seen :). Oh, and be sure to leave a comment at each stop because we have a mystery blogger who will be giving away the entire digi release to one random commenter. The winner will be announced on Friday, January 27th on the SNSS Digi Challenge Blog.

Thanks for hopping along today!!!

Release Day Blog Hop!

I can't BELIEVE it's already the 5th of January.....wasn't summer just over? Pfffft.....guess not. Oh well....that just means that THIS summer is closer, right ;)?

Well, we are beating the cold weather blues with a super fabby release tonight and I can't wait to share the full reveals with you. Have you enjoyed the hop thus far? It's been amazing, as usual.

For your final stop in the hop I have a few CAS cards to share with you.....

First up is a card I created with Dina Kowal's new set, Together Silhouettes.

I paper pieced the umbrella with some Happy Days paper by Echo Park, used my score board to create some additional visual appeal and added a few pearls. Easy peasy!

This next one features that adorable teddy, Rhubarb, in his newest set, Love From Rhubarb. I just adore this sweet little bear. :)

I saw a really fun layout in the back of the recent Stamp It! Cards magazine so I decided to CASE it :). I added some crackle paint around the kraft CS panel, stitched a "ground" for Rhubarb to stand on with my sewing machine, stamped the additional sentiment and added some ribbon and pearls. The image is colored with my Copics. I did add a bit of sparkle with a red Stickles outline around the heart.

My next share is actually a set of cards.....Valentines to be exact.....made with the new Punny Fruits & Veggies set.


These are super easy to duplicate because they all follow the same layout. Little sets like this are great for using up your DP scraps :).

And how about one more.....You already know Cocoa Mouse, but have you met his girlfriend, Cookie? We have some digis that already feature her, but now she's got her very own clear stamp set, which also happens to be our Free with $50 set for this month, Girly Girl Cookie :)....I didn't have time to whip up a new card with this set yet, so I grabbed an older card I made with the digital image.

Isn't she SWEEEEEET? ;)

Well, that's all for me for now.....but be sure to join us tonight for our Release Party in our Member Company forums over on Splitcoaststampers. The fun starts at 8pm EST. I'll have more samples to share along with full reveals, challenges and lots of fun with friends :). See you then!!

XOXO

Crazy 4 Cocoa Blog Hop

Welcome to the second stop in today's Crazy 4 Cocoa Blog Hop :)! If you are just happening by you may want to stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog to get the scoop on this fun hop.


You may have heard we're going a bit bonkers for Cocoa Mouse this month. Over the past couple of years, that silly little squeaker has made his way into many a stampers' heart so we thought we'd celebrate him all month long. One way we're celebrating is with a Cocoa stamp and digi SALE! Through December 31st, all Cocoa stamps and digis are 10% off!

We're also celebrating with today's fabulous blog hop. The Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps DT has teamed up with some of our Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge gals to bring you nothing but Cocoa today......BUT, the best part is, YOU get to play along, too!! And if you do, we'll enter you into a drawing to win your choice of 1 free Cocoa stamp set or 4 free Cocoa digis :)!! You can find all the specifics on the SNSS Blog.

As we continue spreading the Cocoa love, I have this sweet Christmas card to share with you featuring Santa's Helper Cocoa. Our little friend is always getting into to something, but that's not a bad thing. He's a very helpful little mouse, you know! ;)


For this card, I dug out some scraps and kept it simple. My image was stamped on Neenah Solar White CS and colored with Copics. I then matted it with red CS and added a few layers with DP and CS. The sentiment is stamped directly on the card base. I added some ric-rac and pearls to finish it off. Overall, a pretty quick Christmas card and very easily reproducible. You can even use different DP's for the panel under the image :).

I hope you enjoyed my Cocoa CAS Christmas card (wow, now that's a lot of C's!). Your next stop in this Crazy 4 Cocoa Blog Hop is Bridget Finlay. I guarantee she's got something to share that will knock your socks off!

Just in case you get lost along the way, you can find the full list of blog hop participants HERE.

Enjoy the rest of the hop!!

C-ya next time!

SNSS Birthday Blog Hop!

Welcome! I am so glad you are hopping along with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps today. If you didn't come here from the SNSS Blog, I invite you to stop there and start the hop from the beginning. You haven't missed much yet, but you'll find all the hop details in the post on the SNSS Blog :).

Before I share what you came here to see, I wanted to take this opportunity to say....I am truly grateful and tremendously honored to have such a large group of participants in this hop and I would like to extend a HUGE public THANK YOU to each of you for joining in the fun today to celebrate with us! I am so blessed to know so many amazing stampers and even more so to call you friends. I love you all so much!!

Ok, now on with the show :)!

Just for fun, I thought I would share a card I made a long time ago with the image that started it all :).....this is that very first image I drew which became our very first stamp set....4 years ago....


This set has long since been retired....and I honestly get embarrassed when I look at it because of how far I've come artistically (praise the Lord!), but it's always nice to reminisce.....wouldn't you agree :)? And let's face it, without this little guy....we wouldn't be here today, so sharing this card with you today reminds me of the great warmth and appreciation I have for those who encouraged me and supported me when this sweet knight and 3 other sets were all I had to offer.

Now, how about something a little more recent ;).....


I honestly had a tough time coming up with something for today.....my stamping time has been so limited as of late, but I really love this sweet penguin from our new Cozy Friends set, so I decided instead of pondering and over-thinking it....I would just make whatever came to me. I did end up cheating a little ;)....I used this week's sketch from The Sweet Stop, but a good sketch is always just what I need when the mojo isn't there.

The designer papers are from Memory Box's new line called Yuletide and Echo Park's new Season's Greetings line. I really didn't go too crazy with this one....just added some fun Maraschino Baker's Twine, a black button and some Stickles to the snowflakes on the DP. I also doodled a black frame around the main DP panel. The sentiment is from our Winter Friends stamp set.

Your next stop in the hop is the super talented Holly aka Toy. I know she has something fabulous to share with you!

Don't forget as you are hopping to leave comments on as many blogs along the way as you can. At the end of the hop we will be drawing 4 random winners from 4 random blogs and those winners will receive a $40 prize pack of stamps, dies, paper and twine!!

Just in case you get lost along the way, here is the blog hop list again:

SNSS Blog Hop!

Hi there!!! I am the next to last stop in today's November Release Day DT Blog Hop. The Design Divas and some of the gals from the Digi Team are hopping together to celebrate our fabulous clear stamps, digis, and dies being released tonight!! If you've been hopping along with us today, you should have just come from Monika's amazing blog. If you didn't, I invite you to pop over to the SNSS blog to start this hop from the very beginning :). We have a HUGE prize up for grabs and I guarantee you won't want to miss out on your chance to win :).

I have a few samples to share with you today. This first sample was made using our new Lacey Eyelet Borders die set and a gorgeous new stamp set called Snowflake Flourish both designed by the talented Dina Kowal.


We introduced the Lacey Eyelet Borders die set at the York Heirloom Stamp Show a few weeks back and it was such a hit, it SOLD OUT the first day! I am thrilled to have it back in stock for this release :).

The bottom "ruffled" area on my card was created using tissue paper. I originally intended on doing what I found on this blog recently, where you cut out a bunch of layers from tissue paper with your die and create a "crochet" effect, but I had a bit of trouble getting it to work for me, so I decided to try something different and created a layered "ruffled" look instead. I think it turned out pretty cool despite it not being my intention. I hope to share a video of this technique soon over at The Sweet 'n Sassy Connection if you are interested.

The snowflakes from Dina's set were stamped first and second generation using the same ink (first being inked and stamped directly onto the card base, second being inked and stamped off onto scrap paper then stamped again onto the card base to create a lighter shade of the first ink color). The white border strip was cut from the second die in Dina's Lacey Eyelet Border dies set. Instead of weaving the twine through the die cut (which looks really cool, too) I just wrapped it around, added the snowflake ornament (found these at Michaels last year) and added the button with the twine bow. The sentiment is also from one of Dina's sets, Christmas Light, from our September release.

This next card features one of my new sets called Freezin' Season as well as Dina's Lacey Eyelet Borders die set AND my new Clouds & Raindrops die set.


I used the clouds as "snow mounds" by cutting off the bottom of each die cut. I outlined the mounds with Stickles to add more of a snowy feel. I added more Stickles over top the image to resemble falling snow, then added twine, a snowflake button and the tag sentiment which is also included the Freezin' Season stamp set. The designer paper is from Echo Park's Holly Jolly 6x6 pad.

Lastly, I'd like to share this card I made with on of our new digis, Rhubarb's Stocking...


Not too much to say about this one....I embossed a white panel with a Sizzix embossing folder and mounted in to the card base. The ribbon is Martha Stewart seam binding and the rhinestone heart border is something I picked up in the clearance section at Michaels a while back. The sentiment is from the Rhubarb's Christmas stamp set released back in September. The DP is from Echo Park's Holly Jolly 6x6 pad....and of course.....I used more twine :).

Ok, now that you've seen what I created, head over to the SNSS blog and leave a comment for a chance at that awesome prize!

And just in case you got lost somewhere along the way, here is the whole blog hop list again.....

See you tonight!!

SNSS & The Twinery Blog Hop

First of all.....oh my goodness, I cannot believe it's been a over a month since I posted on my blog!!! WOW!! I have been really busy but I had no idea I was THAT busy! I will be getting back into a more routine posting schedule soon and have lots to share so I hope you will continue to visit despite the long break.

I am, in the mean time, excited to be coming back with a bang :)...

AND

have teamed up for a fabulous blog hop with 24 amazingly talented stampers :)!

You have likely seen The Twinery's beautiful twine on many SNSS DT cards and projects because we sell it in our store :). If you haven't tried some yet, be sure to stop by our site after the hop and grab some :). You will LOVE it!!

If you've been hopping along already you would have come from Jenny Suchin's blog. If you are just starting here, I invite you to start back at the beginning and hop along with us!

Here's my card using The Twinery's Honeydew Baker's Twine and three new sets from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps: Comforting Pines (our newest Stamp for a Cause set which benefits the flood victims of my hometown of Pine Grove), Light of Christmas background stamp and a sentiment from Christmas Puppy.


To create this card, I first stamped the background image onto the top part of a piece of kraft cardstock. I then matted it with green cardstock. I added a strip of striped patterned paper from Echo Park's Season's Greetings 6x6 pad, wrapped the twine around a few time and fastened it with a button. I then adhered it to my white card base.

Next I stamped the tree image onto Neenah Classic Crest cardstock, colored it with my Copics, cut it out and attached it to the card front with foam tape.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment and added "Christmas ornaments" to the tree with red Stickles. I love that this tree image can be used for so many things, including Christmas cards :).

Your next stop on the hop is:
Monique Hansen

But before you go....

Here's the wonderful prize The Twinery has up for grabs with today's hop,
the Ultimate Color Sampler Pack valued at $25....

For the Guys Blog Hop

Today is the start of the For the Guys Customer Blog Hop brought to you by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps :). I hope you will grab your masculine Sweet 'n Sassy images and join us for this fun weekend hop!

For my card today I used our new Let's Go Fishing digi. Isn't this puppy adorable :)? I am planning to send this to my dad for Father's Day. He loves fishing and he loves his dog, so I think it will be perfect for him :).


The papers are from Marjolaine by Basic Grey.....they are so perfect for this image and the colors I used :). I added a fun fish button I found in my stash. It was a solid grey blue color so I added a bit more detail with my Copics. I love that you can do that.

I sponged the sky and some of the "grass" with a dauber and CTMH inks. The rest of the image is colored with Copics.

I also doodled a frame around the main background panel and the image panel.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will join the fun and either play or hop along with us this weekend :).


Inky hugs,
Korin

Blog Hop & Show Pics!

Well, I'm back! The Heirloom stamp show we had been prepping for for months is now behind us and what a great show it was! We met some amazing stampers and had a blast!!

I have pics to share but I will save them for the end because it's time for our Celebrating Birthdays Blog Hop!


For my card today I used the adorable Bethany's Birthday Wish stamp set just released this month. I also paired it up with some sweet new papers we just added to the site from Webster's Pages!!

The image was of course, colored with Copics. I added some clear Spica pen to the balloons, bow, butterfly, flower and Bethany's cheeks. The adorable crochet flowers were a birthday gift from my sweet friend Monkia Davis. Thanks, girlie! I love them :).

I hope you'll grab some birthday themed Sweet 'n Sassy stamps and join the blog hop fun! It runs through the whole weekend. Grab all the details here on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog.

Ok, now back to the Heirloom show pics :).....

My sweet hubby and I before the show opened on Saturday. He's such a trooper. He insisted on wearing the SNSS t-shirt even though I told him he didn't have to.

LOL! What a silly guy! Here he was tallying the drawer before the first day of sales.

The booth Saturday before the show opened.

Janette getting the Make 'n Takes set up before the show Saturday.

Some of the customers on Saturday. I snapped this when it finally slowed down a bit. Our booth was hoppin' all weekend :)!

My good friends Denise Marzec and Janette Olen came and helped with the show. They were such a blessing!! Denise demoed Copics (the pic I took of her demoing didn't turn out--boohoo) and Janette was the Make 'n Take queen :).

Janette is such a great teacher. The Make 'n Take students loved her :)!

Thanks so much to Dan, Denise and Janette for all your help at the show. I couldn't have done it without you!! You rock! And, a big thanks to my amazing DT and friends who sent me their fabulous cards for the display boards. We got tons and tons of compliments and our sales definitely reflected them :).

Thanks for stopping by today!! Have a fabulous weekend!!

Think Spring Blog Hop

What a week it's been! No time for stamping fun, that is until this morning, when I finally forced it in because it's blog hop and digi release day :)!

My blog hop card today features one of our sweet new digi images called Molly's Tulips. I paired it up with some adorable Little Girl papers from Echo Park. Have you noticed I am loving this paper???

I hope you will join the blog hop fun this weekend. You still have time to make something and enter the line up. Just make sure you use a SNSS image AND your creation has a Springtime theme.

You can enter your link below (how cool!!) or at the bottom of this post on the SNSS blog.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a fantastic day!

Love is in the Air Blog Hop starts today!

I am so excited about today's customer appreciation blog hop :). I hope you'll check back on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog throughout the weekend so you don't miss any of the stops.

For the hop this weekend I am sharing a sweet new digi image we just released today called Bethany Sends Her Love. I have been having a blast drawing this sweet little bunny so you will be seeing lots of her in the near future!


The DP is from K&Company's KP Valentine pad. I saw this paper at Michaels the other day and I just HAD to get it :). I added some Stickles, square rhinestones, ribbon, and a punched border. Then I used the fun curled corners technique up in the top right corner just to finish it off. The sentiment is from the Somebuggy Loves You clear stamp set.

Thanks for hopping by today. Be sure to head back to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog for the full list of participating blogs.

Inky hugs to you!
