Have a sweet Easter...

 

Hey, hey!    

I'm back with another card using stamps from the new Bunnies and Blooms collection that is up for pre-order at Purple Onion Designs. This sweet-as-can-be image is called Easter Confections and it features a chocolate bunny and a plastic Easter egg exploding with delightful seasonal treats, like chocolate eggs and jelly beans. The sentiment is also included in this set, giving you everything you need for a cute Easter card. Even with that being the case, I couldn't help turning this into oversized postage stamp by adding in postage themed stamps from the Vintage Happy Birthday Postmark set, Vintage Postcard set and Vintage Seasonal Holiday Postmark set. Now, don't forget that this is a short pre-order as all of the new stamps are due to start shipping on March, 16th.  :)

Later gators!

New release at Purple Onion Designs!

 

Hi there!    

The new Bunnies and Blooms collection is now up for pre-order at Purple Onion Designs. There are four new Chilliezgraphy by Pei images and two new sentiments to choose from or you can grab the bundle deal, all of which are due to start shipping on March, 16th.

Today, I've colored up the adorable Eggstravaganza stamp, where a group of Easter friends have come together to decorate a giant Easter egg. It doesn't look like they came to a consensus on what color to paint it but that will only make the end result that much more dazzling. The Happy Easter sentiment is also part of the new release and I cut it apart to unstack the words to better fit the space at the bottom of the card.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

You crack me up...

Good morning!

This Little Chick from Impronte d'Autore is so stinkin' cute and was super quick to color up. Which was great since most of my day yesterday was occupied with a windstorm toppling the large pine tree in the back yard right onto the house. Yea... not a fun day but thankfully the damage to the roof is minimal and we found a great tree removal service that made quick work of the whole mess. Once I finally got around to crafting, I actually started by pulling this pretty pattern paper by Anna Griffin and then matching my Copic marker colors to it. The simple yellow, pink and green color scheme is so Spring and suits this Little Chick to a 'T'.   :)

Well, I hope your week is off to a better than mine, LOL!

Hello again!

Yesterday we added the Get Well Cookies digi collection at Sweet November Stamps so of course I had to get on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page for a fun coloring Live. The scene is set up using the heart beat cookie from the Get Well Cookies set 1 and the tissue box and thermometer cookies from the Get Well Cookies set 2 all resting on the baking sheet from the Christmas Cookies: Cooking Pans set. We went with a pretty in pink color scheme with hints of aqua, even hand coloring in an oven mitt in the same shades of pink. Because the coloring got done early, I was even able to finish putting together the entire card during the Live, which doesn't happen often. It was definitely another fun Saturday spent with crafty friends.  :)

Toodles! 

Supply list:
cardstock- Papertrey Ink and Copic X-Press It
digital stamps- Sweet November (Get Well Cookies set 1, Get Well Cookies set 2 and Christmas Cookies: Cooking Pans)
stamps- My Favorite Things (sentiment)

Get Well Cookies digi release!

 

Hello friends!

Today we are introducing the latest addition to our popular cookie digi collections at Sweet November Stamps and the theme this time is Get Well. There are three sets to choose from: Get Well Cookies set 1 includes a heart beat cookie, prescription note cookie, pill cookie and tablet cookie, Get Well Cookies set 2 includes a tissue box cookie, band-aid cookie, thermometer cookie and vaccine cookie, Get Well Cookies set 3 includes a prescription bottle cookie, nurse's cap cookie, scrubs cookie and crutch cookie. 

My first card mixes the prescription note, pill and tablet cookies from set 1 with the prescription bottle from set 3. All of them were placed on the baking sheet from the Christmas Cookies: Cooking Pans set. The fun pink and yellow color scheme creates a light-hearted tone to this Get Well card.

Next, I paired the vaccine cookie from set 2 with the nurse's cap and scrubs cookies from set 3. This time I have them on the cooling rack from the Christmas Cookies: Cooking Pans set and went with a red and teal color combo.

Finally, I printed a pair of crutches from set 3 and the band-aid from set 2, again on the cooling rack from the Christmas Cookies: Cooking Pans set. I also used the Alphabet Cookies to spell out part of the sentiment. I tried to color the letters to look like a wrapped cast for a fun continuation of the theme.

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