Happy Halloween...

Good morning!

This past weekend saw the addition of the Sweet Sorceress digi release to the Sweet November Stamps store. So, on Saturday we colored Sweet Sorceress Io during the Live over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. Io is just one of the four lovely little witches all bundled up in their Fall finery and I paired her with the new Sorceress Hut background that is also part of the release. As the color suggestions came in from my fellow crafters, we ended up going with a soft cottage core inspired color palette that adds to the magic of this enchanting scene.  The sentiment strip was added after the video ended and I just popped it up using foam adhesive and positioned it directly in her line of sight, helping to lead the viewer's eye from the main image to the next important element on the card front. Don't forget that you can purchase the limited time bundle deal and get the Sorceress Hut for free. 

Thanks for stopping by!

cardstock- Bazzill and Copic X-Press It

A Sweet Sorceress digi release at SN!

 

Hello friends!

We are kicking off Spooky Season with the new Sweet Sorceress digi release that was just added to the Sweet November Stamps store. These four lovely little witches are bundled up for the crisp fall nights, yet they still manage to look quite dressed up and fancy. There is Sweet Sorceress Io with her broom, Sweet Sorceress Blythe with her spell book, Sweet Sorceress Mab with her magic wand and Sweet Sorceress Sloane with her pumpkin. There is also the fun Sorceress Hut that you can purchase individually or if you get the limited time bundle deal you can get it for free.

My first card pairs Sweet Sorceress Blythe with the Sorceress Hut in the background. It looks like she is heading home with her favorite spell book tucked securely in her cloak pocket.

Next, I paired Sweet Sorceress Sloane with the Sorceress Hut. By enlarging the hut in this scene, it looks to be much closer to this little witch. I love being able to play with perspective that way using digital stamps. Sloane definitely has a passion for pumpkins and I'm sure more than a few will become spooky jack o'lanterns before Halloween arrives.

 

Finally for today, I have Sweet Sorceress Mab paired with the largest cottage in the Autumn Cottages clear set. She is outside on this fine fall day practicing some new incantations with her magic wand.  

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

 
 

Let's get spooky...

TGIF!

I have fond memories of Saturday mornings watching Scooby Doo so I couldn't resist adding these cute stamps from CC Designs to my collection. Now that we are officially in spooky season, yes... September is the start of spooky season LOL, it was time to get inky and create a Halloween mystery. Scooby and Thelma are from the Finding Clues set and I paired them with a bunch of background builder sets from Sweet November Stamps. The hole in the floor is from the Simple Room Pirate Add-on set and I drew in the spooky eyes peeking up from it. The window and spider web are from the Halloween Room Add-on set while the classic Scooby Doo looking ghost is from the Front Porch Halloween Decor set. They all came together spooktacularly well and I think this is a fun twist on a Halloween card. :)

Have a great weekend!

One for the books...

Hi there!   

I went back to that stack of pre-printed images that I keep on my desk yesterday, looking for something to color. This cute Janny Texting digi, from Mo's Digital Pencil, caught my eye right away. She fits right in with that back-to-school vibe that I've found myself creating cards for lately. With her warm sweater and cap and that stack of books she's sitting on, I can practically hear the sound of a school bus coming to a stop on a cool September morning. Because I didn't have time for a full background I instead cut out the card front using this fun notepad looking die from Mama Elephant and masked Janny before stamping the lines right over her. To complete the note paper look I grabbed a pink Copic and my ruler to run the margin line up the left hand side. I then repeated die cutting and stamping so that I could layer the two sheets of "note paper" for some added interest. I think the CAS design turned out pretty cute and it's always a win getting another image off my desk, LOL! ;)

Later gators!

You're an A...

Olo!

This cute Outing Anya was a Farmer's Market freebie at The Greeting Farm earlier this year and as soon as I got her I thought she would look great on a back to school card. Now that it is the right time of year for that theme, I stamped her up and masked her before adding the wall of lockers behind her using the Build-a-Locker digi set. Anya looks quite adorable in her first day outfit and she is so proud of how she has decorated her locker. The sentiment up top is from the same Build-a-Locker set and it was all I needed to complete this card.  :)

Have a good one!
