the little things

Hello, Sweet ‘n Sassy  friends!  Welcome to the August 2014 Release!

Dies seem to be the trend in card making right now and Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps has some fabulous new dies to release this month that coordinate with several of our summer stamp sets already available in the store!  The bonus is that even though these stamps and dies were designed to be summer sets, they can be used all year long!

My card today was made with the Flourish Seashells stamp set and NEW matching dies!

I am really loving the light turquoise color lately and it suits this set so well!  The matching dies are so fun to work with too.

As always Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps has some wonderful prizes and another  Release Day Challenge for you!

~One random commenter from one of the DT blogs will be selected to win a $10 Gift Code to be used at the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Store.  You have until Thursday, August 21st at midnight EST to leave your comments.  The winner will be posted on the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Blog on Friday, August 22nd!
