October is coming to an End

Hello November and Thanksgiving! 

Just a quick little Sunday post 

showing off a project by our 

Leigh Ann

She grabbed for the 

Thanksgiving Owl-fits set... I just 

*love* that set and how versatile

it can be... I know your thinking, 

it's a Thanksgiving set?!?

But, stay tuned this month

we'll show you how to use 

this holiday set year round! 

Here is Leigh Ann's place card

idea... I really like doing place cards

for Thanksgiving!

Thats colorful and a great idea all around! 

Leigh Ann has inspired me to try some 

place cards of my own! 

Reminder!

Release week starts tomorrow!!!

Ready to see our Nov. release?? 

It's pretty awesome if I do say so 

myself! So, be sure to stop by the

blog tomorrow!

Halloween Extravaganza~

Happy Halloween (almost!) 

Is everyone dusting off last years costume planning for an 

exciting party tonight? Or just putting the last couple 

details on your kids costume for Monday? ... 

Well, whatever you're doing I'm sure that your 

getting in the Halloween spirit!

Talking about Halloween spirit... wait till I show 

you what Savannah has come up with ... it's 

going to blow your socks off! 

Savannah rocked out the stamp set

'Halloween Owl-fits'

Savannah made a couple really 

*stand out* projects... 

I really like those celo bags! 

And the bat with the twine

is perfect! What a unique 

way to add a 'card' to 

any gift! 

Those Red Vines look yummy and 

Vernie is totally the life of that card 

wi the glitter and feather! 

Check out this banner that Sav made for 

the Ribbon Carousel... WOW, I *love* those 

bats!! What's nice about the Halloween set

is that the bats and the spiders come in more 

than one size... and I *really* like that when 

I'm creating the details of a card.

And last but not least... check out these 

Pixie Sticks that Sav made!! They would 

be the most perfect gift ... and got 

me looking around.... Did you know that 

you can use lemonade drink powder mix

to make home-made pixie sticks!?!

What a brilliant idea! 

Talk about a *great* activity for the kids... 

Especially around Halloween! 

Well, thanks for dropping by today! 

Have a super weekend... and 

if you can, say hi to us on facebook! 

We *love* to see all your 'faces' and comments 

on our wall!!

Halloween Hugs,

Comin' into Fall!

Here we are, fall is here... 

Ahhh, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say

Fall is my *favorite* season! 

Too bad we really don't have that season here 

in Sunny San Diego. We're more of a 

Summer - Winter - Summer climate. lol. 

I have a fall wreath to share with you 

made by me :) 

Yep, every once in a while I make 

some time to make a couple projects. 

I wish I spend half the time I do on the computer.. 

crafting! Don't you wish that too!?!

Anyway, Let's get down to that wreath... 

I've been in a wreath making frenzy around here 

lately. I don't know why... it's a wreath year. 

For Sure. 

I love pom pom's!!! I know you can home-make them

but, I own a pom pom maker (actually, I own several sizes) 

and it's the best 4 bucks I ever spent! 

Of course, I had to break out my 'Thanksgiving Owl-fits' 

set and add some fall sentiments... like Turkey and Pie!  

I don't use my banner die near as much 

as I want to... so I made a point to 

grab it and use it... a wreath

is a great place for a banner ... don't you think? 

Anyway! I hope that this was inspiring to 

gather all that fall colored crafting stuff 

and start crafting. This wreath would make a 

*great* hostess gift! Easy, fast, and pretty cheap! 

This whole wreath was under $5! 

(Esp. b/c you probably have lots of the supplies already!) 

Have a great *fast* Friday... 

Stop by facebook and say hi... 

Happy Crafting!

Old-Fashioned Holiday Fun!

Julie Ranae here with you today.

Nicole is up to the ceiling with 

majorly fabulous things behind the scenes,

so I am very happy to share today's

Sweet Tooth Designer with you.

We love Leigh Ann and here is why....

How adorable is this card??!!

Of course, we know it's never too early to be 

thinking about holiday cards.

The trees from our 'Tree Traditions' set is so versatile.

It just reminds me of good old-fashioned

family fun!

We are so happy you stopped by the Shop today

and of course, we hope you will check out 

'Tree Traditions' 

and our other sets over in the Sweet Stamp Shop.

Have a great Thursday!

Melvin's ready for Thanksgiving!

Hey all! 

Just a quick post today sharing with you 

Geny's post (from Saturday... oops! Can we

pretend for a moment that it's Saturday? 

I know you all won't mind, right!) 

Geny broke out the Thanksgiving Owl-fits 

set for today's inspiration. 

Ready to see Geny's creation!?

I *love* that background! What a way to make fall

BRIGHT and festive!! I'm feeling inspired to take out 

that set and give it a good ol' fashioned inking!! 

Make sure to visit GENY at her blog and say hi! 

Also, take a moment to visit facebook today... 

We're teaming up with a new kit club in the new year... 

you'll wanna hear all about that and the *new* kit club 

has a fabulous give-a-way you'll wanna be apart of!

Happy Crafting!

Big Hugs to Alison and some Birthday Love!

This last month we've been lucky to have 

Alison Spelman

as our guest designer... she's done such a great job for us. 

We loved all her creations and her unique way of 

stamping. 

Today is no exception! 

Alison used the 'Sweet Tooth' set

And she put together this card!

I love the bright colors and how she cut out the 

gumballs on the fan.... not to mention.. that fan is amazing! 

Thank you so much Alison! 

We *loved* having you and getting to know 

your cheery personality! We hope your not a 

stranger around the 'Sweet' shop! 

Stop by Alison's blog and give her some love for 

being our guest designer! 

HERE

Next I would like to take a small

teeny tiny moment to wish 

my most cherished and bestest friend 

a very Happy Birthday! 

Here is Melanie and I out with our husbands! 

My best friend... and I don't 

use that title lightly!... 

Is such a special lady... she's 

30 this year! 

AND she's a new 

'first time' Mommy! 

So I couldn't give her just *anything* 

First, it had to be hand made... b/c I'm 

notorious for making amazing things 

that I never give away... you all 

know how that goes! 

And the wrapping had to be spot on! 

So here's a look at the box... 

I used the 'Scootin By' set

Check out this box!

Here is a close up of the decorations... 

Yep, there is felt and paper flowers in there! 

You're probably wondering what's inside... 

well, I was hoping to save that for another 

post and include a little 'how to' ... with 

some stamps! But, I thought I'd at least 

let you peek at one of them... 

I will be blogging about this and sharing 

with you my tips... 

I have made several at this point and I 

can tell you I have the tricks to cut your 

making time down from several hours 

to 30-45 minutes!

Really! 

Stay Tuned! 

Ok, I think I've blogged enough for one day... 

Hope everyone has a great day and 

a some really good crafting time! 

I'm off to Yoga this morning with the 

birthday girl! (we're trying to be healthy 

after our disastrous trip to Chevy's diner

last night... let's just say... *everything* was 

fried... yummy-ness!) 

Big Hugs,

Brrrr, it's coolin' off

Yep, even here in sunny So. Cali it's coolin' down. 

Finally. 

Whew, it was just a *little* too hot for a little too long! 

But, I'm pleased to let you know that the sun is still hiding behind

some clouds/fog. Although it's still early in the am. :) I'm sure 

it will burn off and warm up any minute now. lol. 

Ready to see an inventive card by 

Lindsay 

She used the 'Tree Traditions' set

I really like all the different sizes of snow flake... 

Look at a great way to use them: 

I love it! 

Is it cold where you are? 

Take a moment to check out our

See you back here tomorrow with our last 

guest designer spot for Oct.

Movie time Friday!

Happy Friday, again! 

My oh my, how the time flies. 

Last night I was laying (lying?... I should have paid

more attention in grammar class) Anyway... I was in 

bed at 8-ish ready to watch my 2 favorite shows 

of the week... and before I saw twenty minutes... 

zzzzzzz.....zzzzzzzz.... fast asleep! 

Ugh! Thank god for DVR! 

We'll as you might understand, going to bed with an 

'8' as the first number on the clock... usually spells.. 

waking up with a '4' as the first number on the clock. 

Yep, here I am 

4am. 

Today we have something really genius to 

share with you from 'Sweet Tooth Girl' 

Savannah

She decided to use the Watchin' TV set

*love* that set! 

Here is what she came up with... 

Absolutely perfect for Father's Day!

You know what I really like about giving you 

ideas for future holidays... is that this time of 

year is *perfect* for creating a few stacks of 

a variety of cards for the holidays. They make for 

the best quick gifts and people *love* getting a 

stack of home-made cards! Trust me!

Recently I made some reusable sandwich bags 

with the 'Watchin TV' set... you can 

check it out here (with directions) 

Reusable Bags

Also, I'd like to remind you that the Halloween Owl-fits set

is now $9 now through Halloween! 

Get them while they last! 

Have a great friday and an even better weekend. 

Check back soon for more great inspiration and 

lots of 'sweet' stuff!

I Brake for Gnomes!

Hey there everyone...it's Julie Ranae here today!

I am in LoVe with the 'Gnomies' set 

from Sweet Stamp Shop!

Yes indeed!

I spent my teenage years in one of 

THE BEST decades...the 70's

and I am proud to say that I drove a little 

mint-green Mercury Bobcat

(the cousin to the Ford Pinto)

with a bumper sticker that read...

'I Brake for Gnomes'!!!

 

So that's why I chose this fun set for this unique card.

I have to say I think he adds just the right touch!

 I am also very proud to announce that Sweet Stamp Shop

is a most generous sponsor of another of my passions...

The Play Date Cafe is celebrating it's

2nd Anniversary

this week and there are multiple ways to win!

Sweet Stamp Shop is making it possible

for you to win one of these sets

just in time for your Halloween projects...

 

Just head on over to The Cafe and check out

the inspiration provided by the Design Team

and play along.

Spooky Tuesday!

Have you seen Melvin and Vernie dressed up?

Aren't they just so darn cute!! 

We've been having *lots* of fun around 

here with this set! 

Recently I made a brooch with felt flowers and the bats

The back

it was *so* easy to make ... and *so* 

customizable! 

You might remember that this is what I 

made for the make-n-take at the 

event last weekend... 

I have some directions on how to make the 

felt flowers... if you're interested!

Here is a preview... check out our facebook 

page for the readable version! 

Then you remember the coffins right? 

I *love* this set.... and maybe I'm totally bias... 

but, I think Leigh Ann would agree... 

Check out her card!

Another *super* cute coffin! 

But, this time it's a card.... which 

actually goes quite well with my coffin decor! 

She used lots of the different elements in the set! 

I love to see that... it shows how usable the set really is! 

Way to go Leigh Ann! 

Check out Leigh Ann in all her creative awesomeness...

Guest Designer Monday!

Hello All! 

What a weekend... whew, we're glad it's Monday. 

Over here at SSS we had quite the weekend 

being a sponsor at a local Susan G. Komen event...

What a great success the event was... over 

$60,000 was raised! A tribute to all the hard 

work all those lovely ladies put into the event. 

We were just glad to be there and share a make-n-take 

and some stamps! 

Anyway! We've been busy! 

But, today I get to share with you a project from a good 

friend and a amazing guest designer 

Emily Lanham

I'm sure you recognize her from all her 

design work... but, if you're new to this 

lovely lady... check out her blog and prepare 

to be amazed! 

http://www.createserendipity.net/

Here is a little something about Emily

in her own words..

Happy Monday everyone! I'm super excited to be the guest Designer today here at the Sweet Stamp Shop! I've been a fan from the beginning, I just love all of the fabulous designs and am so happy that Nicole has started this wonderful company!
Now a little about me... my name is Emily Lanham, and I reside in Southern Ohio with my childhood best friend who doubles as my husband, Brandon, and my ALMOST 4 year old daughter Reagan (she keeps reminding me that she's ALMOST 4 hehe). I've been scrapping for as long as I can remember, but I really made it a hobby about 6 years ago. I slowly became a collector of all things scrapbooking (especially paper and stamps!). I rarely scrap my own layouts, but I do enjoy making cards and mini albums for others (and some of those for myself on occasion!). Just recently I got into trying new stamping techniques, which you will see one in my project today... distress stains! I hope my project today will inspire you to try out new stamping techniques (and also to pick up the Thanksgiving Owlfits set, it's a must have!) If you want to stop by and visit me, please check out my blog

She created something amazing 

with our *new* stamp set 

Thanksgiving Owl-fits

Ready to see what she made?? 

Isn't that tag something else? 

She used lots of distress ink and glitter...
Can you get much better than that?

Check back in tomorrow for some updates
from our exciting weekend... with photos!

Happy Crafting,
Jacob and Nicole Rixon
