Believe in magic...

Hi friends!

On Monday we released the third of four Fae-bruary Fairy digis at Sweet November Stamps, and this week lovely Blithe is accompanied by her friend Sprig. Along with each release I also do a Live coloring of the new image over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. I paired Blithe and Sprig with some peonies from the Dahlia and Peony Background set to fill in the foreground of the scene. In the background I did another take on the dreamy, almost water color like, enchanted forest. By keeping my coloring light and loose it just leaves and impression of trees and bushes and the blue sky beyond. If you are interested in watching everything come together you can check out the replay here. So be sure to check out , Blithe and Sprig and play along in the Sweet November Fae-bruary challenges.  ;)

Toodles!

Friendship warms the soul...

Hi there!

I made this card for the February PenPal swap that DT member Allison Cope hosts in the Friends of Sweet November Stamps Facebook group each month. Now that the recipient has gotten her card, I can share it here. The theme for February was Red and Pink or Friendship and I went with a friendship card. The girls from the Meet Cute set have gotten together for a cup of coffee and a chat session while enjoying a beautiful day in the park thanks to the Day at the Park Background Builder set. The blue sky and green trees really have me longing for a warm spring day and some good company myself. :)

Well, thanks for stopping by!

Flower Fairies wrap up...

 

Good morning!

We added the final two 2x3 Monthly Flower Fairies with the Fab Favorites clear release at Sweet November Stamps. February Iris Fairy and March Daffodil Fairy complete the set of twelve that we started last year. What a treat it is to finally have each month's birth flower represented in fairy form...I can't wait to start mixing and matching them all together!

February Iris Fairy is a sassy little fairy with a flamboyant flair just like the flower she represents. Her hair may be short but her mischievous streak is long, LOL! I colored her into a whole field of pretty purple irises and the sentiment is from the new Birthdays are the Best set.

 

March Daffodil Fairy is a flirty and fun little pixie with a cheerful disposition. Her ruffled dress and pretty petals sway and twirl as she dances her way through the field of daffodils behind her. Once again, I stamped together a sentiment using the new Birthdays are the Best set to pull the whole happy scene together. 

Have a wonderful week!

Fab Favorites day 2...

 

Hey, hey!

The Fab Favorites clear release celebration continues today at Sweet November Stamps. This fun release of ten new stamp sets, including the final two additions to the Flower Fairies of the month series, as well as three new exclusive sequin mixes, has a little something for everyone. The shopping special for this release is spend $100 or more and you will get the 4x6 SN Gals Libby and Laura set absolutely FREE (while supplies last). And of course there is also FREE SHIPPING on all domestic orders over $75 and $15 flat rate shipping for all international orders over $75. We've also brought back the exclusive limited time digital bundle deal, so for this weekend only, February 15th thru February 17th, a digital stamp bundle that includes the entire Fab Favorites release will be available for $105. This is a very limited time offer and once the weekend is over there is no guarantee that it will return.

First up is the companion to the Spill the Tea card that I shared yesterday. This cute little mouse is dipping a sweet biscuit into her cup of tea as a special afternoon treat. Once again the new Tea Time sequin mix was used to add a bit of sparkle to this card.

During the afternoon Live at Adventures in Coloring with Amy yesterday we colored up these cute kiddos from the new Postage Pals: Portrait set. It was suggested that the gal with the glasses looked like she could be a teacher so we ran with that idea and created this fun classroom themed card. They are stamped onto the Waffle Flower A2 Postage Collage die and the postage accents are from the new Year Round Postage set that is also part of this release. 

Finally, I've got one more sweet mouse card using the Spill the Tea set. This pretty tea time scene was colored during the morning Live yesterday. The lovely blue and lavender color combo that was suggested turned out to be wonderful inspiration for the floral motif that I added to the tea pot. A splash of lemon yellow compliments the cool hues and adds some cheeriness to the over-all design.

The Instagram hop is still going strong with all sorts of fabulous inspiration from the design team with a chance to win the entire release. Just search for the #sweetnovemberstamps account to get started. The winner will be announced on February 18th. And the Youtube hop starts this morning for another chance at winning the entire release! You can also check out all of the cards over at the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more inspiration from our talented design team members. I will also be coloring Live two more times today, first at 10am then again at 2pm PST on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page.

It's a Fab Favorites clear release at SN!

 

Hello again!

Are you ready for the first clear release of 2025 at Sweet November Stamps? The Fab Favorites clear release, which includes 10 new stamp sets and three new sequin mixes, is now available in the store. We have a fun mix of themes; from reading and tea time to postage themed cuties and birthdays. Speaking of birthdays, the final two Flower Fairies of the month are out, completing the year long series. The shopping special for this release is spend $100 or more and you will get the 4x6 SN Gals Libby and Laura set absolutely FREE (while supplies last). And of course there is also FREE SHIPPING on all domestic orders over $75 and $15 flat rate shipping for all international orders over $75. We've also brought back the exclusive limited time digital bundle deal, so for this weekend only, February 15th thru February 17th, a digital stamp bundle that includes the entire Fab Favorites release will be available for $105. This is a very limited time offer and once the weekend is over there is no guarantee that it will return.

Two new Fairwees have flittered onto the scene in the 3x4 Fairwee Readers set. These wee cuties love nothing more than a good story to take their imaginations on a magical ride. I've paired them with the hollow log from the Little Moments clear set to help set the scene for this enchanted forest glade.

We also have a special 4x6 set that includes two of our pretty SN Gals. SN Gals Libby and Laura are book lovers and they are joined by their faithful furry friends who are all for a lazy day of snuggling and being read to. I paired Laura on her chaise lounge with some of the stamps from the new Simple Room: Reading Nook Background Builder set and the carpet texture from the Simple Room: Christmas Add-on set. All together it looks like a comfy cozy room to relax in.

 

The new Postage Pals: Landscape set is one of two new sets full of cute kiddos that are designed to fit perfectly within the popular postage stamps dies that are out there, like the Waffle Flower A2 Postage Collage die that I used here. The postage accents are from the new Year Round Postage set that compliments these cuties perfectly.

Finally, the sweet mice from our original More Than Coffee set have been joined by some tea loving friends in the new Spill the Tea set. These adorable mice are ready for a yummy biscuit and a cuppa to while away the afternoon with. I even used the new Tea Time sequin mix to add a bit of sparkle to this card.
