It’s here: “Sassy Snow” You asked for more funny stamp sets and we listened. 

To celebrate the release we are offering FREE Shipping on all orders, yes even international.  Just enter FREESHIP at checkout. 

Sassy Snow guarantees a giggle with some of the sassier sentiments. It also adds some nice sentiments to warm the heart.  It is finished off with an ORIGINAL version of the “snowman poop poem” that you will want to ink up right away!

Here is our sketch SSD #51 done by the talented and lovely Shannan Tuebner

I thought is was so cute I had to have two tries at it.

The first card I used “Sassy Snow” and some super cute papers from Echo Park.  I colored the snowman in with Tombow markers. in real life the colors match the paper a little better than they look in the photo. On the inside of the card I have I have a little bag of mini marshmallows glue dotted in place.

Here I used the big beautiful stamps from Christmas Swirls (on sale for $11.99 for a limited time) and paired it with paper from a (new Canadian) company called Harmonie.

Now you get to see what the amazing stamp tramps and our lovely guest did with “sassy snow” and this week’s sketch. Make sure to leave “love” as you hop there will be some give aways along the way!!!

I am so excited to announce the sketch artist this month.  I have been oohing and ahhing over her cards for years.  You’ve seen them too, they regularly grace the pages,if not the covers, of your favorite magazines. I spend way too much time on her blog “Zany not crazy”.  She is one of the “Go~ to Girls” for PC magazine…..and she will be here sharing her inspiration all month long! Please help us welcome Maren Benedict!

Here is her first sketch… the girls had a ton of fun with it, and we know you will love it too!

Here is Maren’s take on the sketch….it reminds me of one of those big orange  harvest moons in the fall .  I think it’s absolutely gorgeous!

Now I have the pleasure of introducing you to two new guest and two returning guest.  all of whom are amazingly talented and sure to inspire!

Vanessa used Healing Wings on this card.

Our second guest was one of the amazing designers who generously contributed to our fundraising efforts in “Hop(e) for Haiti” She has graced the covers, and pages of our favorite paper-crafting magazines.  I am So excited to have her joining us all month long. I know you will fall in love with her work~if you not already a fan of her blog  “Paper Ink and Smiles”

Here is the Always Amazing Wendy Price giving a sneak peek at an amazing New and unreleased set…..the set is called always here.

I am so excited to announce that both of our fabulous guest designers from last month came back for another month.  Here they are with their inspired creations based on Maren’s sketch.

Dina Kowal used “Healing Wings” for this beauty….

Heidi Van Lar bucked the butterfly trend and made this darling Chica card!

She used “chick chat” for her Cheer up card….I am working on getting this image re-sized. …

Before I introduce the Stamp Tramps I’d like to mention we are having a DT call for our new term.  There are a few designers (below) who are hanging out with us for extra time as we look for the Newest Stamp Tramps. If you are interested in joining us check our SCS for all the benefits and expectations.  

I had a blast with Maren’s sketch and tried digital stamping for the first time…..I am still awaiting the arrival of our newest stamp set “Always Here” ~   I just couldn’t wait to use it, so I printed out the images on watercolor paper…..  I have SO much fun playing with the images. 

I Loved the sentiments that I had come up, with but I was having a hard time getting the look I wanted with the fonts etc.. So after struggling with the main quote for a week, I hired some talent to help me with the fonts/word art.  Krissy Ng , is an  amazing stamper and artist.  Check out her blog Sugar Buffet to learn more about her.  Come back during the week for more of a peek of “Always Here”

Here is Kandi with her scenic creation using “Dandelion Dreams” and “Garden stamp Kiss”

Here is Jingle who utilized “Timeless Textures” to create the sheet music on this card.  I didn’t even recognize it, she had stamped it so well, I though it was actual sheet music.

We are So excited that you stopped by today.  We have the perfect sketch, an amazing sale, and 2 new stamp sets that you HAVE to SEE!!!

Today is out last *sniff amazing sketch from Kim Kesti.  This is a sketch that you will use again and again.  Kind of like both of our New Release stamp sets.

Be sure to check out Kim’s amazing work, on her blog, while hopping with us today!  Then, don’t forget to come back and shop.  The P.M.S. sale is going on now, you can get unlimited stamp sets for around $10 each!!! Check out the end of this post for more details.

Here is my take on the sketch.  This sketch was like potato chips~ you can’t stop at just one.  I had to make myself stop at three.  But this sketch is one that I will revisit again and again.

I used “Friendly Fruit” and even one of the “Timeless Texture” stamps to create my watermelon cards.  These 3 cards would be a cute little gift set to give to a friend. 

Here are our Exciting new sets:

4X6 Fun Fruit

Friendly Fruit has the perfect combination of sentiments and images. Whether you want to design a card to encourage a friend, wish someone happy birthday, share exciting news, or make your honey smile on V-day, these are the stamps you are going to want to ink up. 

4X6 “Timeless Textures”

This stamp set will help you save time, money, and most importantly your sanity.  Ever need just one more piece of matching patterned paper for the right amount of layers? Or just a touch more texture, or color on your card?  Ink up this set and your problem will be solved.  Between the sheet music, and the seamless tiles, it will add the perfect touch to any and every project you can think of. 

Next time you are stuck, or you want to dress up your favorite punch, you’ll be SO glad to have this set in your stash. It will help you with the perfect finishing touch every time.

Now off you go to hop!  The Stamp Tramps and our Guest have some amazing projects in store.  A creative  buffet awaits you as you travel along the hop stops.  This visual feast will have you “ooohing” and “aaahing”, and running off to grab your stampin’ stuff:
