TGIF!

Last Sunday I did a Live coloring on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page celebrating the Spring release at Stamping Bella. I thought it would be fun to take one of the new Oddball Zodiac girls and create a non astrological themed card with her. I settled on Oddball Zodiac Aries with her ram and paired them both with the older Cowboy Backdrop for a down on the farm scene. Before stamping Aries I wiped the ink off of the star constellation on her shirt and the symbol necklace she is wearing, which left me with a blank shirt and the option to turn the necklace string into a shirt collar. It's such a simple alteration and it really opens up the possibilities with these quirky Oddballs. After the Live, I found the perfect greeting in the Country Western Sentiment set and stamped it on a speech bubble die cut to complete the card.

Have a great weekend!

The beautiful blessings of spring...

Hi there!

This past weekend was a review at Sweet November Stamps so it was requested that I revisit the cute critters from the Spring Woodland digi collection for my Live coloring on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. I put together a scene using the Spring Woodland Background, the fawn from the Spring Woodland Fawn, Bunny and Hedgehog set, the skunk from the Spring Woodland Chipmunk, Fox and Skunk set and the bird from the Spring Woodland Alice and Bird set. We ended up going with a soft, kind of vintage color palette that gives these forest friends an old school storybook feel. :)

Have a good one!

Hi there!

Have you seen this new Curvy Girl that was part of the Spring release at Stamping Bella? She's called Curvy Girl Get Well Soon and she sure makes feeling sick look awfully cute. She has camped out on the couch, all wrapped up in a cozy blanket while she spends the day nursing a cold. Surrounded by tissues and a warm cup of tea, Curvy is counting on bingeing her favorite shows to get through the worst of it. The sentiment also comes with Curvy, so you have everything you need to create adorable get well cards.

Later gators!

Hello Spring...

Hey, hey!

I'm back with another card that I made for the new Spring release at Stamping Bella. Whimsabella Flutterbreeze is an adorable spring fairy floating on a soft breeze with her little butterfly friend. I've paired them both with the Storybook Meadows Backdrop and colored everything in pretty pastel colors. The end result is an enchanting and fantastical looking scene full of magic.  :)

Toodles!

You mean the world to me...

Good morning!

I've still got some cards to share using stamps from the new Spring release at Stamping Bella. The Spring Bundle Girl Peekers set may just be my absolute favorite from this release. I always adore any new Bundle Girl and now that I have a set that works on postage collage dies, I am such a happy stamper. I've used all four of the Spring Bundle Girl Peekers on this card with the four square postage die from The Stamp Market. How cute are they, just hanging out in there own little space? I colored them in pretty Spring colors and when I went to add embellishments I used enamel dots in matching colors. The post marks that I added are also in some of the same Spring colors. All of which comes together to create a candy sweet postage collage. The sentiment is from the Spec-tacular Together Sentiment set and I thought it suited their cute, thoughtful poses.

Thanks for stopping by!

Last day to pre-order at TGF...

 

Hey, hey!

Today is the last day to pre-order the Big Birthday kit at The Greeting Farm for the discounted price of $42. Once the kits arrive at the end of the month any extras will be up for purchase in the store but at the regular price of $50. There are five cute Anyas and two Ians included in this kit, as well as a bunch of party accessories and four sentiments.

My first card features this pretty Anya wearing her fancy new party dress. She feels so special on her big day as the confetti falls all around and the shiny balloons float overhead.

 

Finally, this cute Anya couldn't wait to dive into that delicious birthday cake so she has helped herself to a slice. Don't worry, she cut it from the back of the cake so no one else would notice. ;)

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
