Hey Gullfriend...

Good morning!

It's time to get excited because the new Summer release is now available at Stamping Bella!  and today we are heading to the beach! There are 25 new images and three new sentiment sets to choose from, so no matter what your summer vibe may be, Stamping Bella has got you covered. 

I've got a fun beach themed card to share today using the sweet Beach Bundle Girl with a Seagull. These two friends are making their way across the hot sand to enjoy a quick dip in the cool ocean waves. Isn't she just the cutest with her little swim cap covered in plastic flowers? This girl certainly has style, LOL! Now if only I could join them on that tropical beach for a day of rest and relaxation myself... sigh.  ;)

Have fun shopping!

Day three of Stamping Bella previews...

 

Hey, hey!

It's the third and final day of Summer release sneak peeks at Stamping Bella and today we are heading to the beach! With so many cute characters that live either above or below the waves, I've got three cards to share. The Whimsabellas are back as three beautiful mermaids, and they will be available for purchase on Monday, April 28th at noon EST with the rest of the release. 

My first card features Whimsabella Bubble Bliss who is so sleek and chic with her sparkly tail and high ponytail. I paired her with the sea turtle that is part of the Under the Sea Creatures set so that they can swim through the kelp together. The sentiment is from the older Mermazing Sentiment set which is perfect with these new mermaids.

 

Next we have Whimsabella Serene Seastar who is resting peacefully at the bottom of the ocean thanks to the Under the Sea Backdrop and some extras from the now retired Little Bits Sandcastle set. Her elegant up-do is decorated with starfish and seashells, making her a queen of the deep blue sea. Once again, the Mermazing Sentiment set finishes off the card perfectly.

 

Finally, Whimsabella Starfish Sparkle is riding the currents that flow across the open ocean with a couple of fishy friends from the Under the Sea Creatures set. Her pretty curls float all around topped of with a colorful starfish. Again, the sentiment is part of the Mermazing Sentiment set

Alrighty, now be sure to head on over to the Blogabella for even more new release inspiration!

A Sea Full of Friends digi release!

 

Hello again!

Not only is it time for a new digital stamp release at Sweet November Stamps but we are also diving into MerMay just a little bit early with the Sea Full of Friends collection of adorable mermaids. Eviana, Sealena, Maris and Calliope are each so excited to be here for this year's celebration of all things mermaid!

For my first card I printed out Eviana who is also accompanied by her little fishy pal. They both look pretty darn cute as they make their way through the kelp forest. 

Next, Sealena has gone up to the surface and found a pretty seashell that is singing soothing ocean songs to her on this glorious day. 

For my third card Maris has been surprised by the fish that comes in the Different Strokes: Beryl set. Together they are ready for a fun-filled day beneath the waves. 

Finally, Calliope is excited to find a bottle from the world above and is hopeful that it contains some small treasure to add to her collection. If you would like to watch the coloring of this card there is a short Reel on Instagram and a longer speed coloring will be added to the Sweet November Stamps YouTube channel.

Now be sure to check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more Sea Full of Friends cuteness from the rest of our talented design team. Also, don't forget, I will be coloring Live today at 11am PDT over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and I hope to see ya there!
