Happy Spring...

 

TGIF!    

I've got another card using stamps from the new Bunnies and Blooms collection that is up for pre-order at Purple Onion Designs to share today. This adorable image is Bunny and Besties where the bunny is bringing all of his chick friends along on a beautiful Spring walk. To help create the background I stamped the older Tree Line Horizon which gives the appearance of a sloping hillside that leads down to the path that these cuties are on. The large sentiment is from the Happy Hello Sentiment set and I stamped it on blue to coordinate with the bright blue sky that I colored in. There is still time to pre-order this release and all of the new stamps are due to start shipping on March, 16th.  :)

Have a good one!

You're too tweet...

Hello friends!

I was feeling a bit nostalgic yesterday and started flipping through my binder of Pure Innocence stamps. It's still hard to believe that My Favorite Things is no longer in business. It makes me feel even more grateful for the stash of stamps that I have from them, and there are plenty that are still waiting to get inked up. This Important Peep set caught my eye and I thought she would be cute as a colorful Easter card. So I colored her in a rainbow of candy coated colors and added some length to her pigtails. The sentiment is from an old Ellen Hutson sentiment set and I thought it worked well in this simple spring scene. This was definitely a fun one and I will have to ink up more Pure Innocence sooner rather than later.  :)

Talk at'cha later!

Have a sweet Easter...

 

Hey, hey!    

I'm back with another card using stamps from the new Bunnies and Blooms collection that is up for pre-order at Purple Onion Designs. This sweet-as-can-be image is called Easter Confections and it features a chocolate bunny and a plastic Easter egg exploding with delightful seasonal treats, like chocolate eggs and jelly beans. The sentiment is also included in this set, giving you everything you need for a cute Easter card. Even with that being the case, I couldn't help turning this into oversized postage stamp by adding in postage themed stamps from the Vintage Happy Birthday Postmark set, Vintage Postcard set and Vintage Seasonal Holiday Postmark set. Now, don't forget that this is a short pre-order as all of the new stamps are due to start shipping on March, 16th.  :)

Later gators!

New release at Purple Onion Designs!

 

Hi there!    

The new Bunnies and Blooms collection is now up for pre-order at Purple Onion Designs. There are four new Chilliezgraphy by Pei images and two new sentiments to choose from or you can grab the bundle deal, all of which are due to start shipping on March, 16th.

Today, I've colored up the adorable Eggstravaganza stamp, where a group of Easter friends have come together to decorate a giant Easter egg. It doesn't look like they came to a consensus on what color to paint it but that will only make the end result that much more dazzling. The Happy Easter sentiment is also part of the new release and I cut it apart to unstack the words to better fit the space at the bottom of the card.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

You crack me up...

Good morning!

This Little Chick from Impronte d'Autore is so stinkin' cute and was super quick to color up. Which was great since most of my day yesterday was occupied with a windstorm toppling the large pine tree in the back yard right onto the house. Yea... not a fun day but thankfully the damage to the roof is minimal and we found a great tree removal service that made quick work of the whole mess. Once I finally got around to crafting, I actually started by pulling this pretty pattern paper by Anna Griffin and then matching my Copic marker colors to it. The simple yellow, pink and green color scheme is so Spring and suits this Little Chick to a 'T'.   :)

Well, I hope your week is off to a better than mine, LOL!

Feeling crumby...

Hello again!

Yesterday we added the Get Well Cookies digi collection at Sweet November Stamps so of course I had to get on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page for a fun coloring Live. The scene is set up using the heart beat cookie from the Get Well Cookies set 1 and the tissue box and thermometer cookies from the Get Well Cookies set 2 all resting on the baking sheet from the Christmas Cookies: Cooking Pans set. We went with a pretty in pink color scheme with hints of aqua, even hand coloring in an oven mitt in the same shades of pink. Because the coloring got done early, I was even able to finish putting together the entire card during the Live, which doesn't happen often. It was definitely another fun Saturday spent with crafty friends.  :)

Toodles!
