Sweet Hugs To Leigh Ann!

Another sweetly sad goodbye (or see you later!) to one of our favorite 'Sweet Tooth Girls' Leigh Ann!

Leigh Ann is one of the sweetest designers around.... great simple style with cute embellishments... she made every card inspirational and totally re-doable! Honestly, the best designers are the ones that leave you thinking, "I love that AND I'm going to rush to my craft room and try it!" ... Leigh Ann's designs do just that.

We are so thankful for her and all the great cards she made... we know that wherever she goes she'll be a great success! Love you Leigh Ann!

Check out her parting card....

She used the 'Sweet Tooth' set (which we're re-ordering this week... in case you went to the shop and found out that we're sold out :) But, this card showcases how a couple buttons and some really cute paper placement can really make a card pop. I love that Leigh Ann doesn't always color in the stamps... while I *love* coloring... sometimes you just need a quick card and this technique really lends itself to that. Great Job Leigh Ann .... We'll miss you! 

Really quickly... (because we're getting ready for day two CHA...and I haven't put any make-up on yet... YIKES!) I wanted to share with you a couple cards Savannah made for the blog today. Ahh-mazing as always! She used the 'Scootin' By' set... (which has been one of our best sellers... if you don't already have it... it's a must!) 

I love the colors she used in this one! The scooter never 

looked so good!

Check out this clean and simple card that goes ever

so nicely with the last card! I really like this... and 

it's just so darn doable! 

and the inside!

Head over to Savannah's blog and say hi.... Oh, how I wish she was at CHA with me! (I wish I could bring you all!!) 

Jacob and I will be keeping you in the CHA 'know' with lots of facebook pictures and updates!!

Happy Stamping! 

Hugs,

'Sweet' Journey, Donna!

We're saying a bittersweet fair well to our Sweet Tooth Girl, Donna! 

Jacob and I were lucky enough to get to meet Donna during our Hawaii trip this summer and she is just as sweet as you can imagine. She has been just the nicest friend and go-to girl for all things crafty... never mind the fact that she's just one heck of a designer! 

Check out this parting card she made for us... tear tear! 

 

She used the kit from Paper Made Bakery  featuring  Authentique Paper   and really pretty ribbons, nick nacks... of course Sweet Stamp Shop Stamps too!! It all just makes for the most amazing kit and paper crafting go to  'loot' .  

Savannah also made some really amazing cards for Paper Made Bakery 

this month... as a PMB designer. Can't wait to show you her line up of sheer amazingness! No. really... amazingness! 

Whew, not only is she one *busy* lady... it's all amazing! She *also* posted a really great video on how to die ribbon...check it out

It's all so amazing, right? That Savannah... she's always out doing herself!  Stop by her blog and say hello... and let her know how much you love all her inspiration! 

And... if you can drop in to Donna's and bid her a very sweet good bye... although, I'm sure we'll be stalking her blog daily anyway..lol... Sweet Stamp Shop and all the girls wish her very sweet travels and best of luck in everything crafty! 

We'll miss you Donna!

So, we're off ... to CHA tomorrow... Ack, lots to do! But, we'll be updating you via the blog and facebook with lots of photos and fun stuff! We'll even do some give-a-ways while we're there... so keep an eye open! 

Hugs!

Bitter Sweet!

Design Team Call Update: After lots of *really* hard choices...We're sending out design team invitations sometime this afternoon. BUT WAIT! IF you don't get an invitation this afternoon... we're still working on our guest designer list and plan to send out those invites later this week. So, if you don't hear from us today... you could still get an email later this week! 



It's starting... the time where we have to start saying goodbye to our old designers and all the amazing work they have done!

Today we're saying a <3 heartfelt and lovingly sweet goodbye <3 to GENY! She's been such a great source of inspiration to all of us and today is her last blog post for us. BUT, I'm sure she'll still hang around and say hello... I mean, once you go 'sweet' ... it hard to ever go back! :)

She used 'Cool Scoop'... Of course you can find that HERE.

Isn't that card lovely?! She mentioned she doesn't color much, but I think that she should because it's fantastic! 

A big THANK YOU to Geny for all that she has done for Sweet Stamp Shop and we wish her all the best as she continues crafting and sharing! She really is a 'sweet' genius! 

BIG HUGS GENY! 

I also wanted to show you a card that Donna put on her blog yesterday that is totally fun and completely ingenious! 

Check out what she did with 'Spectacle'.... practically my favorite set! 

Check out the inside of those glasses!! She made them look like actual glasses with some clear embossing... wow, Donna.... she's just so creative! (and what I *love* about this look is that you could easily do it too!) 

Donna still has a post or two for us... so we won't be saying goodbye to her yet. But, we're still so happy that Donna came on board for our first team. I think she has created some of the most creative cards and designs that Sweet Stamp Shop has seen! We <3 Donna! 

If you can... stop by Geny's BLOG to say goodbye and thank you... I know she'd love it!

Happy Crafting and Happy Monday

Hugs,

Some*bunny* LOVES Saturday!

It's ME! It's ME! 

Yippee, I love Saturday! 

I hope that your Saturday includes

a little bit of crafting... and if 

it does... you'll be excited to see 

todays inspiration! (well 

I think you'll *love* to 

see it anyway!) 

Ms. Savannah put together

some really really fun cards using the 

'Furry Friends Forever' set! 

She also use 'Against the Grain' !!

Wait till you see how she used these sets and how much fun they are! She's a sweet genius! For sure! 

QUICK DESIGN TEAM CALL UPDATE

I wanted to let you all know that we are hard at work picking out the next terms designers. We're *really* close to sending out invites and getting the new group of girls together! With close to 100 applicants... this job was extremely difficult! We would have loved to bring everyone on! Truly. (We're not just saying that.... being only 6 months old... we're flattered that 100 people thought enough of our designs and our business that they wanted to join us... although, we agree... we're pretty sweet!...lol...) Anyway! Hold tight... we're close!

So check out this card Savannah made... Love that she made the bunny

tail fluffy! And, of course, her use of patterned paper... is amazing. 

We just can't get enough of Savannah... her positive attitude.. and 

her infectious personality! You think Savannah's cards are great? She is 

equally (or more!) great!! Stop on by her blog and tell her we say she's 

a 'sweet' genius! 

One more card to show you... 

I love how she stamped 'Against the Grain' on several colors 

and then put them together! What an amazing card all around! I'm 

totally stealing this idea for a class... or maybe just a card for a 

special friend! *love* it! 

Here are the stamps sets used today...

Against the Grain

Furry Friends Forever

Happy Saturday Crafting ALL!

***JANUARY RELEASE INFO****

We are having a release this 

month... it was just postponed 

due to my cold :( The release will 

go on as scheduled... TOMORROW!

COME BACK TOMORROW FOR

JANUARYS RELEASE!! 

Whew, I'm back! 

Nothing like starting the new year with 

a cold and sinus infection. YUCK! 

But, here we are ready to tackle 2012 

(a little late) and start with new and exciting stuff! 

First, I hope you'll take a moment and 

check out our design team search! We're looking 

for some new amazing designers... and 

it could just be you! Apply! 

Also, share our call with your friends

and let us know that you did on our facebook 

wall... and you'll be entered to win a 'sweet' set! 

Now, we have some card catch up to do!

Check out DONNA'S card using 

the 'Core of it' stamp set... 

Not only is this a really clever card... 

but Donna always has such a nice 

use of color and patterned paper. 

We love that card and that set! 

Don't forget to drop by her blog and say 

hi... she's just about the 'sweetest' island 

girl we know! (and we wish we were in Hawaii 

with her!!) 

Next up is Leigh Ann... 

Her cards are so genius!

She is *so* amazing at letting an image 

speak for itself. Meaning, that a really 

fun and colorful card can be made *with

out* coloring. She knocks this outta the park! 

With some 'Furry' help! 

We love Leigh Ann... and we hope you drop 

by her blog and send her some love :) 

Last 

(but completely and utterly not least in 

any way shape or form...)

The *sweetest* sweetie Savannah! 

Check out her little project ...

A little coloring packet!

With mini coloring pencils and stamped

paper.... 

This has to be one of the cutest ideas 

I have seen in some time! (and simple!) 

Think of all the ways you could use this... 

Planning a wedding with kids? 

Put one of these at all the places where 

kids will be sitting! 

Have a friend who owns a little shop? 

Give her a couple packs of these so when 

customers come in with little ones... she can 

give them out... how nice is that? 

I just *love* this idea... and I'm pretty sure

you do too! Right?!? 

Stop by Savannah's blog for more details on 

how to make it ... and leave some love :) 

Hope everyone has a super productive Monday

and a great start to their work week! 

Something tells me this week is going to 

fly right by! 

Hugs, 

N.
