Day 2 of Sea-sational MerMay!

 

Hey, hey!

The Sea-sational MerMay clear release celebration continues today at Sweet November Stamps. These eleven mermazing sets, two new sequin mixes and the Tidewater Backgrounds paper pack cover all of your mermaid crafting needs. The shopping special for this release is spend $75 or more in physical product and you will get the 3x4 Ebb and Flow set absolutely FREE (while supplies last). And of course there is also FREE SHIPPING on all domestic orders over $85 and $15 flat rate shipping for all international orders over $85. We've also brought back the exclusive limited time digital bundle deal which will be available through June 8th. All of the sets have been bundled together, which is 45 images for $110. As an added bonus, from now through Monday, June 1st, every digi order placed at Sweet November Stamps will also receive the exclusive Manatee Mambo digi for FREE and digi orders over $10 with also include Shark Samba for FREE, no code necessary.    

This beautiful mermaid is part of the Retro Pin-up Mermaids set and she is striking a pose on this colorful beach scene from the Tidewater Backgrounds paper pack. Don't be afraid to use your markers to add some grounding shadows directly on the printed paper and you can even stamp a sentiment onto it, using dye based ink, without it smearing on the slightly glossy finish.

This excitable mermaid is from the new Mermees So Emotional set and I like to think that she just found out that the new MerMay release has hit the shelves at Sweet November, LOL! I paired her with the Kelp Bed Background Builder set and some starfish from the Dock on the Bay set to give this amped up mermaid the perfect home. 

Finally, we've got the cuties from the 3x4 Ebb and Flow set which is the shopping incentive freebie for physical orders over $75. This sweet pair of mermaid and merboy are designed to coordinate with the new More Mer Friends set and the Mer Friends set that released last year. The sea bed stamp that I paired with them on this card is from the older The Guppies set.

The Instagram hop is still going strong with all sorts of mermazing inspiration from the design team and four chances to win a $30 gift certificate to the shop. Just search for the #sweetnovemberstamps account to get started. The winners will be announced on Wednesday, the 3rd. The Youtube hop starts this morning for a chance at winning the entire release so be sure to check that out as well! 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 be coloring Live two more times today, first at 10am then again at 2pm PST on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page.

Dive into a Sea-sational MerMay clear release!

 

Hi friends!

The new Sea-sational MerMay clear release is now available at Sweet November Stamps and we are excited to introduce all 11 of the new mermaid stamp sets as well as two new sequin mixes and our first paper pack, Tidewater Backdrops! As always, we have a wonderful mix of stamps and styles to choose from so there is something for everyone to fall in love with. The shopping special for this release is spend $75 or more in physical product and you will get the 3x4 Ebb and Flow set absolutely FREE (while supplies last). And of course there is also FREE SHIPPING on all domestic orders over $85 and $15 flat rate shipping for all international orders over $85. We've also brought back the exclusive limited time digital bundle deal which will be available through June 8th. All of the sets have been bundled together, which is 45 images for $110. As an added bonus, from now through Monday, June 1st, every digi order placed at Sweet November Stamps will also receive the exclusive Manatee Mambo digi for FREE and digi orders over $10 with also include Shark Samba for FREE, no code necessary.  :)

For my first card I colored up two of the dancing duos from the new Merwee Tide Dancers set and paired them with one of the backgrounds from the new Tidewater Backdrops paper pack. These cute merwees are having a dance party in this underwater cave with their best friends. The sentiment is from the same set and I added it on a strip of scrap card stock to complete the scene.

Next, we have one of the adorable Sea Babies and a few of her little sea friends decorating a pretty pastel faux post card. To help set the scene I grabbed the sea anemone from the retired Sunshine and Seashells set and borrowed the sentiment from the So Spe-shell set. The Fantasy Post Marks set added the perfect finishing touch to this postage themed card.

 

Finally for today, I've created a slimline card using SN Gal Oceanne and the new 6x6 Mermaid Throne Background stamp. We actually colored this scene as a preview during my Live last Saturday over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. With her long ombre colored hair and dreamy gaze Oceanne looks right at home in this colorful coral reef.

Now, if you are on Instagram and would like a chance at winning one of four $30 gift certificates to the shop, we are hosting a four day Instahop. Just search for the #sweetnovemberstamps account to get started. The winners will be announced on Wednesday, June 3rd. 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 the amazing Sweet November Design Team members. I will also be coloring Live twice each day this weekend, first at 10am then again at 2pm PST on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page.

You're my best finned...

TGIF!

I've been really busy getting ready for a handful of new releases that are coming soon but I was able to squeeze in some time for a card to share today. This is another image that I grabbed off my desk, again thinking that it was one of the Some Odd Girl digis that can be found at Whimsy Stamps but once again, I was mistaken. Still, if you are looking to color up some classic SOG images I still recommend that you check out their digi section. This cute little chibi style mermaid is called Mini Hugs Mermaid and it cracks me up that she may be hugging her fishy friend just a bit too tight, LOL! I colored in a simple simple under the sea scene using a limited color palette throughout the card. The soft mint and aqua hues creating a deceptively peaceful and serene vibe to this story of too much love. ;)

See you back here tomorrow for the big Sea-sational Mermaid clear release at Sweet November!
