Snowman with Skates- Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps New Digi Release

Hi Again Friends!

Woohoo!  Today, Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps is releasing several new digital (“digi”) stamps and this is the second card that I created with a few of the new release digis as well as a traditional clear stamp set  (please see this post for my first card using Snowman's Gift).

This Clean and Simple (CAS) card showcases the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps (SNSS) Snowman with Skates Digital Stamp along with the sentiment from the Snowman Soup Sentiments Digital Set and actual ink stamping with the Winter Blessings Clear Stamp Set.   I think this snowman is so cute with his skates and cocoa mug, don’t you?

I also incorporated the CAS356 “Some People Are Worth Melting For”Challenge along with the SC574 Sketch Challenge – both at Splitcoaststampers’ (SCS) for the layout.

If you have not visited the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps (SNSS) site or the SCS galleries yet, I hope you will find time to do so- fabulous samples from all!

To create this card:

Open a Word Document and insert the Snowman with Skates Digital Stamp image along with the sentiment image from Snowman Soup Digital Sentiments and re-size as needed (click herefor a fabulous video tutorial from Korin Sutherland, owner of SNSS on how to re-size and crop digital images in Word).

Print the images out onto Whisper White cardstock and color with a water brush and markers.

Mask the snowman and sponge Pool Party Classic Ink around the “sky” and stamp the Winter Blessings snowflakes with Pool Party Classic Ink as well.

Use a Black Marker to draw the horizon line, punch out the image with a 2 ½” Circle Punch and mount onto a circle punched from Island Indigo cardstock.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Darice® Snowflake Swirl Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Island Indigo cardstock.

Add the two strips of ¼” Stitched Island Indigo Satin Ribbon and mount onto the Pool Party card base.

Stamp a few snowflakes from Winter Blessings with Pool Party Classic Ink over the sentiment, trim and create the banner points by hand or with a punch.  Create banner points into a scrap piece of Island Indigo cardstock and mount behind the sentiment.

Mount the Snowman with Skates  digi image along with the Snowman Soup Digital Sentiment onto the card front to the card front using dimensional foam.

Paint the wooden snowflake with Titanium White Acrylic Paint and mount onto the snowflake image, add the Pearl to the center of the snowflake to finish off the card.

Snowman's Gift- A New Digital Stamp from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

Hi Friends!

I hope all of you are having a wonderful week so far!  Today, Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps is releasing several new digital (“digi”) stamps and I had a chance to create two cards with some of the new digi stamps (fyi- I will be posting each card in a separate blog post so I can link to the various challenges, etc. .:-))

This card showcases the  Snowman’s Gift Digital Stamp for the main image, the sentiment is from the new Snowman Soup Sentiments Digital Set and I used the Winter Blessings Clear Stamp Set for the snowflakes in the background.   

Isn’t this image adorable?  A cute little bunny giving this sweet snowman a carrot for his nose..what a gift for sure!

I also decided to incorporate the SC571 Sketch from Splitcoaststampers’ (SCS) for the layout.   If you have not visited the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps (SNSS) site or the SC571 gallery yet, I hope you will find time to do so- fabulous samples from the SNSS Design Team as well as the SCS gallery!!

To create this card:

Open a Word Document and insert the Snowman’s Gift Digital Stamp image along with the sentiment image from Snowman Soup Digital Sentiments.

Re-size as needed (click here for a fabulous video tutorial from Korin Sutherland, owner of Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps on how to re-size and crop digital images in Word).

Print the images out onto Whisper White cardstock and color with a water brush and markers.

Mask the images and sponge Pool Party Classic Ink around the “sky” and stamp the Winter Blessing snowflakes.

Use a Black Marker to draw the horizon line, trim the panel and stitch to a piece of Early Espresso cardstock using a zigzag stitch with the sewing machine.

Stitch a piece of Pool Party to a piece of Early Espresso cardstock with a smaller zigzag stitch and stamp a few more snowflakes from Winter Blessing.

Use the Big Shot™ with the retired Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of retired Designer Series Paper (DSP) and use the zigzag stitch to attach it to a piece of Early Espresso cardstock.

Mount the embossed sewn panel onto the Whisper White card base, add the Pool Party background panel to the card front and mount the Snowman’s Gift focal image panel to the front using dimensional foam.

Stamp a few snowflakes from Winter Blessing with Pool Party Classic Ink over the sentiment, trim and create the banner points by hand or with a punch.  Mount onto Early Espresso cardstock, create the banner points and add the snowflake charm with silver cord.

Mount the sentiment to the card front with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

There are several things that I love about working with digital stamps- of which, you can re-size the images and color just like a regular stamp plus they do not take up any space in your craft room! A "win-win" for me :-)

I hope you will take the time to check out the rest of the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Digital Release and have fun designing with your new digital stamps!

Thanks again for stopping by, I will be back shortly with my second card :-)
