Sweet heart...

Hey there!

Even though Dreamerland Crafts is no longer in business, I still adore the Dreamerland stamps that I have in my stash. This cute couple has been in the stack of stamped and ready to color card fronts that I keep on the corner of my desk for at least a few years. Their sweet pose and little bouquet of flowers made them perfect for a Valentine's Day card. Before coloring, I decided to mask them off and add the house and trees from Art Impressions behind them. Having that cozy cottage off in the distance really adds to the overall story. The sentiment is from an old Simon Says Stamp set and I used a pink ink on the heart before stamping the rest in black to add to the sweetness. I gotta say, it feels like I am really making a dent in that stack of images this year and we are still in January, woot, woot! ;)

Alrighty, well thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Valentine's Day...

Hello, hello!
  
This retired cutie is Valentine Henry from CC Designs and he has been patiently waiting in my craft stash to make it onto a card. Henry is a Roberto's Rascals sweetie and I thought he would be perfect on a faux post card. So I grabbed the handy dandy post card pierce plate from The Greetery and started stamping. After coloring Henry I masked him and the postage stamp off, then air brushed the kraft looking background because I thought it would look nice with the red and grey color palette. I used the Sweet November Stamps Year Round Post Marks for the finishing touches in the same red and grey shades. 

Later gators!

The snuggle is real...

Good morning!

Just a quick pop in to share the card that I made during the Saturday Live this past weekend. We were celebrating the Scrappy and Sulky Valentine digi release at Sweet November Stamps so I decided to color up Scrappy and Sulky Snuggle Time again. These four legged 'friends' turned out so cute in the suggested fur colors and the round throw rug was a fun challenge to take on. The fancy wallpaper was done using a mix of the airbrush system and a big patterned background stamp which we got to do Live as well. All in all it was another excellent day of coloring and crafting with my online crafty friends.  :)

Ok, gotta run now... have a good one!

Hello, hello! 

The January Sweet November Stamps newsletter was emailed out last night, full of all of the Valentine sweetness that the team has been creating all month long. We had two digital stamp releases in January, Love Letters and Scrappy and Sulky Valentine, so there is plenty of love to go around. As always, we've also included a code to get the latest newsletter digi absolutely free. This month we are looking ahead to next month's Fae-bruary celebration with the cute Flutter Fairy. This wide eyed and pointy eared fairy is happily flying high in the sky so I paired her with one of the sweet bees from the older The Bees digi. Together they are swirling and twirling in a fun game of catch me if you can. So if you are excited for some magical fairy card making in February, be sure to grab Flutter Fairy and add her to your collection.
