Friends like you are rare...

Hey there!

It's a review/preview weekend at Sweet November Stamps as we get ready for the Wonderful Winter clear release coming next Saturday, December 7th. Today the team and I are sharing sneak peeks of the new stamps coming out as well as fresh cards using past winter themed stamp sets. Because we have a new stamp set coming that features more adorable little yetis, I thought it would be fun to pair one of the new ones with one from the original Baby 'Bominable set for my card today. Both of these cuties are facing away, looking up at the sky so I also used the northern lights stamps that are part of the new set so that these two friends would have something to capture their attention. In the foreground I stamped the snow covered branches from the older Winter Wonderland Horizon Lines set to help set the scene. If you would like to see how this all came together you can check out the quick Reel over on Instagram and a longer speed coloring video that will be added to the Sweet November Stamps YouTube channel.

I will be coloring another sneak peek of some of the new stamps during my Live this morning over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page so I hope you can join me!

Hey friends! 

The Sweet November Stamps newsletter for November was mailed out last night. Not only is it full of inspiration from this month's releases but it also includes all of the information about the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals that we have going on this weekend. Starting today the entire store is 30% OFF (excluding new arrivals and gift cards) and the sale goes through Sunday, December 1st. Then on Monday for one day only all of the digital stamps (excluding new arrivals) will be 40% OFF. Not only that, but this new No Peeking: Mrs Claus digi is a FREE shopping incentive when you spend $40 or more and she won't be made available for purchase until next year.

 

As always there was also a code included for all of our wonderful newsletter subscribers to get their hands on the latest free digi. I had a request during one of my recent Live coloring videos for some No Peeking: Gingerbread and I was excited to make that idea happen for this month's freebie. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.  :)

Happy shopping!

A joyful song...

Hey, hey!

I've got a pair of cute choir members singing a duet together on my card today.  They are part of the Christmas Choir set at Sweet November Stamps, which also includes all of the pieces you need to create the stage background. They are all dressed up in classic Christmas reds and greens as they happily serenade the crowd with their favorite carols. I borrowed the music notes and sentiment from the older Joyful Noise set to help complete this sweet story. I've gotta admit, these two have me ready to rock out to all of the Christmas tunes on my playlist, LOL!  ;) 

Thanks for stopping by!

Merriest Wishes...

Hello friends!

I had so much fun creating with the Holiday Reboot Kit at The Greeting Farm earlier this month and now I want to make sure that I get this year's seasonal Anyas on cards too. The first to get inked up is this sweet Frosty Kisses Anya and I paired her with the van and tree from the Adventure Pals set to make it look like she is heading back home after a visit to the Christmas tree farm. Now both of these sets are currently sold out in the TGF store but I did find them still available at Simon Says Stamp.  Even though she isn't technically this year's official Holiday Anya, I think she makes for a pretty darn cute Christmas card. :)

Later gators!

Christmas is better together...

Good morning!

This cute pair of polar pals that are part of the From Me to You set at Sweet November Stamps are taking in the beauty of mother nature's light show. As they bask in the wonder of those dancing northern lights the sweet little penguin is trying his best to add some more sparkle to the night sky and his best friend is right there ready to help. Whether they succeed or not, it is dreams like theirs that help make Christmas eve the most magical night of the year.  :)

Have a wonderful week my friends!
