Classy but sassy...

Hi friends! 

Only one more sleep until all 35 of the new stamp sets from the Stamping Bella summer release are available! For this final day of sneak peeks we are showcasing a mix of both Oddballs and Edgar and Molly Vintage sets.These first three cards that I am sharing all feature vintage characters that harken back to the 40's, 50's and 60's.

This dapper gentleman is from the Martini Men stamp set which is part of the Edgar and Molly collection. I paired him with a sentiment from the Timeless Classic sentiment set and really drove home the 'classic' feel of this card by coloring the entire scene in black and white grey scale. 

On my next card I paired the second suited bloke from the Martini Men set with this Donna Reed looking lady from the Vintage Vacuum set. The sentiment, again from the Timeless Classic set, cracked me up and inspired me to color in a bar behind them as well as add a martini glass into his hand.

And finally this gal from the Vintage TV set is the epitome of that sentiment I paired with her... classy but oh-so-sassy! The TV itself was a lot of fun to color and totally reminded me of the TV my grandparents has when I was little. 


Now hop on over to the Bellarific Blog to see all of the amazing inspiration from my fellow Bellas and get yourself entered for one last chance to win a gift certificate for this release!

Just a little hello...

Hello again!

Are you ready for day two of the Stamping Bella summer release sneak peeks? We are continuing to make our way through showcasing all 35 of the new stamps that will be available in the store on Monday, the 15th. Today there is a darling pair of Tiny Townies and another new Oddball but the real stars of the show are all of the gnomes! These slightly rough and tumble characters are getting into all sorts of shenanigans, from tapping a beer keg to catching a ride high in the sky... I just hope it wasn't in that order! LOL

I have three cards to share today and this first one features Flying Gnome who has hitched a ride on the back of a buzzing bee. Together they are racing off to see how quickly they can pollinate that entire field of flowers down below. 

 

Next there is Gnome in a Tree. This shy guy is peeking out of his safe space to offer a quick greeting before ducking back inside. It looks like he has been social distancing before it was cool, LOL! 

And finally we have Beer Gnomes. These two have sneaked into the storage room of their local tavern and are making quick work of the beer they found there. I just hope they still have enough sense to get out of their before they pass out and get caught red handed! 

Now hop on over to the Bellarific Blog to see all of the amazing inspiration from my fellow Bellas and get yourself entered for a chance to win a gift certificate because I promise you are going to want it for this release!

Energy flows...

TGIF my friends!

After a slightly extended wait due to the pandemic shut down, the much anticipated summer release at Stamping Bella is now only a few short days away! Over the next three days we will be sharing cards featuring the 35 new stamps that will be available in the store on Monday, the 15th. Today is all about good vibes and higher energy with Curvy Girls, Oddballs and even a new Mochi Girl as well as two new sentiment sets.




My card today features Oddball Hippie in all her peace and love glory. I was inspired by this great sentiment from the Good Vibes set to color in a glowing aura of light around Oddball Hippie who is just overflowing with positive energy. This little lady is not afraid to let her light shine, that's for sure!  :)  

Alrighty, be sure to hop on over to the Bellarific Blog to see all of the amazing inspiration from my fellow Bellas and get yourself entered for a chance to win a gift certificate because I promise you are going to want it for this release!

I 'like' like you...

 

Hey there!

Here we are at the third and final day of June previews for The Greeting Farm and we are wrapping things up with a new Miss Anya AND My Guy Ian set called Like Like You. This clear set includes one lovely Miss Anya and two My Guy Ians vying for her affections along with three great sentiments to use with them. For my cards today I wanted to color Anya up as the same girl on both, like she is playing Bachelorette and going on two different dates. Her first suitor has taken her out to lunch at a popular food truck, thanks to the Food Truck digital set. And her second suitor has gone back to her place for some popcorn and a movie thanks to the Movie Night digital set. Which one of these handsome young gentlemen will win a second date... only Anya knows. ;)    

Ok, time to head on over to the TGF blog for even more Like Like You goodness from my fellow Farmers. And don't forget that the entire release will be available for purchase on Monday the 15th, as well as a chance to win all of the June stamp sets by participating in the blog hop!

Be your own kind of beautiful...

Hello friends!

This week we are continuing to make some wish list mermaids come to life here at Sweet November Stamps. This bashful beauty is Octavia Softsand and she was born from the bubbles a bit different than the rest of her mer sisters... rather than a long lovely tail she was graced with eight strong and clever tentacles. Octavia never let her uniqueness hold her back or make her feel less than the other mermaids, instead she is proud to be her own kind of beautiful. She also comes with her cuttlefish pal, Cuddles and this sentiment is a free download in the store.  


Now be sure to go check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more Octavia Softsand inspiration from Melissa, Tee and our amazing guest designer this week... Lounon!   
You can also find us on Instagram @sweetnovemberstamps and don't forget to use the #sweetnovemberstamps any time you share a card or project using SN images so we can see all of your beautiful makes!

Bed heads...

 
Hello again!

It's day two of the June previews at The Greeting Farm and today we are introducing the super cute new Bead Head set. This fabulously fun building set includes a big comfy bed, sleeping cat and pup, books, laptop, decorative pillow and five different kiddo heads that can be mixed and matched to create a number of different scenarios. As great as all that is, I was also inspired to pull out some of my older TGF clear sets like, My Kitchen, Potted Plants, and Beach Bums to build out my bedroom scenes even further using some of the little extras from those sets. This right here is why I don't purge older stamp sets... you just never know when a great new set is going to breath new life into what you already have. :)

This special day...

 
Hey there!

It's time to kick off previews for the June release at The Greeting Farm! There are three new clear sets coming out on Monday, the 15th.Today we are introducing the new Flutterby Anya to The Farm. This sweet girl is surrounded by delicate fluttering butterflies which inspired me to grab a bunch of the different potted plant digis that have been released in all the Build-A sets recently and crop off their pots so I could layer together a lovely butterfly garden that Flutterby Anya is using to attract all of her little visitors.  

Now be sure to check out the TGF blog to see all of the beautiful cards from my fellow Farmers using the new Flutterby Anya. Then check back tomorrow for day two of previews. :)
