Making spirits bright...

Hello again!

The holiday release sneak peeks continue today at Stamping Bella. We are in the middle of sharing a wide range of amazing new stamps and today the focus is on Christmas and winter themed images. All of the new stamps will be available for purchase on Monday, August 25th at noon EST. 

Today I've got a card showcasing the adorable Little Cutie Kids Hanging Christmas Stockings stamp. The Little Cutie stamps are great for when you want to color a fun scene but don't want to take the time masking a scene all together. These particular cuties are getting ready for Christmas by hanging their stockings by the fire and leaving milk and cookies for Santa when he stops by. Hanging above the fireplace is a message from the Be Merry Sentiment set, which will also be available on Monday. So start making a list and checking it twice as the Stamping Bella sneak peeks keep coming.  :)

Later gators!

TGIF!

The fall/winter release sneak peeks start today at Stamping Bella and over the next three days the rest of the team and I will be sharing cards using all of the new stamps that will be available for purchase on Monday, August 25th at noon EST. 

It's been a while since we've had a new Mochi Girl added to the shop so I'm extra excited to be sharing Mochi Girl Vampiress with you today. I love that the Mochi Girls are a bit more up close and personal, making them perfect for those times when you want to get really detailed with your hair and skin coloring. This sultry Vampiress is casually sipping her glass of 'wine' and looking quite fabulous while doing so. An aura of mystery surrounds her, thanks to the Copic airbrush system. The sentiment is from the new Wicked Words Sentiment set, which will also be available on Monday. So if you are looking forward to some fangtastic Halloween stamps keep watching the Stamping Bella sneak peeks.  :)

Toodles!

Taking some time to relax...

 

Hello again! 

The big anniversary sale is happening at Purple Onion Designs with 25% OFF rubber stamps and 50% OFF in the sale and clearance sections. All prices have already been reduced so no code is necessary, just fill up your cart and enjoy the fantastic deals!  

You will even find the new Lakewood collection on sale and that is where I pulled most of the stamps from for my card today. The dog, Murray Up, Up and Away, and the kitty, Sleepy Sampson, are soaking up the summer sunshine in this idyllic scene. To create that perfect summer backdrop I paired the Field Flowers Patch with the Field Background and the older Stone Wall to separate the two. Sampson looks perfectly content as he dozes on the wall while Murray is desperate to have his friend come down to play. The sentiment is from the Friendly Warm Wishes Sentiment set and I thought it was a cute twist on the little story that I created for them. :) 

Now, go and enjoy the sale... it ends August 27th!

Happy Summer...

Hey there! 

I've had these adorable critters from the Jungle Littles on the Beach set stamped up and sitting on my desk since the Sun, Sand and Surf kit release at Hello Bluebird last summer. I've been meaning to finally get them on a card before this summer comes to an end so I finally sat down and colored them up yesterday. I had stamped them on the Postage Frame die along with a sea gull and sea shells from the Beach Friends set, turning them into little postage stamps. With that postage theme in mind, I pulled out an old envelopes background stamp from Neat and Tangled that I stamped in blue to match the card base. I then glued on the big Happy Summer Words die, letting it overlap some of the 'stamps'. Also overlapping some of the 'stamps' is a summer themed post mark from the Sweet November Stamps Year Round Post Marks set. The rest of the cute postage stamps are popped up using foam adhesive for some extra lift and interest in the design. Such a fun card to put together and it always feels good to get another stamped image off my desk.  ;)

Later gators!

A friend like you...

Hello, hello!    

Who wouldn't enjoy a delightful tea party picnic full of sweet treats and a satisfying brew? The super cute Picnic Buddies stamp from Purple Onion Designs captures all of that wonderfulness with the silly goose and her piggy pal enjoying quite the spread. I paired them with the older Woodland Background to give them plenty of shade trees to shield them and their delectable pastries from the hot summer sun. The sentiment that I stamped beneath them to complete the card, is from the new You and I sentiment set. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
