Goblin Greetings...

Hello again!

It's another review weekend at Sweet November Stamps and I've got another Halloween card using the new Goblin Gathering clear set. I've paired three of these goofy ghouls together as they head down the Forest Path Background. This time I used a bunch of grey tones to make the forest look extra spooky for these little creepers. Even with their more muted colors these goblins still stand out against all that grey. They really are so much fun to color.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!

You're not normal...

Hello!

I'm up on the Blogabella today with my final Halloween card of the year. Looking through my stamps I realized that these fun Oddball Spooky Kids were still waiting to be inked up, so I remedied that situation with this spooky faux post card scene.

The Oddball Spooky Kids come as a set of three stamps; Wednesday, Pugsley and Thing. This gave me just what I needed for both the main characters and the decoration of the faux postage stamp. I stamped the creepy kiddos side by side then colored them in a nearly monochromatic palette that suited their gloomy nature. Once the coloring was complete, I masked off the kids, postage stamp and space that says 'post card' so that I could use my Copic airbrush system to spray on the dark background color. Next, I embellished the background by dipping a q-tip into some colorless blender salution and added the fuzzy spots cascading across the card. From there all I had to do was add the various postage themed accents and a pair of older sentiments to complete this spooktacular Halloween themed 'post card'.  :)

Stay crafty my friends!

 TGIF! 

It's another beautiful Fall day at Sweet November Stamps and this cute pair of friends from the new Cozy Knit Critters set are strolling along the Forest Path Background. I've been so enjoying playing around with all the different ways to color up this forest and today I went with a soft pink backdrop for the foliage. I think the rosy glow adds so much sweetness to this card. The little skunk and raccoon got coordinating scarves so everything ties together in this candy coated Fall day.  :)

Have a great weekend!

Purr-fectly magical...

Hey, hey!

I've got one last card to share using the new Black Cat Magic set and this one is a fun postage collage. I focused just on the cats this time, adding a different one to each mini scene. In the largest panel I was inspired by SN DT member Sylvie, to add the bookcase from the Simple Room Reading Nook Add-on set. Once I colored all of the scenes and glued them into place on the black card base I then added the post marks from the Year Round Post Marks set for extra Halloween spookiness.   :)

Toodles!

Hey Ghoul Friend...

Hi friends!

I built a little Halloween scene around this cute kewpie headed goblin from the new Goblin Gathering clear set at Sweet November Stamps. He is traveling through the Forest Path Background on his way to the big midnight meet-up that all of the forest goblins look forward to each year. Before coloring I found a Halloween paper pack in my craft stash and grabbed this striped pattern to pull all of my Copic colors from. I then used the paper to mat the scene once it was finished. A little black twine and sentiment strip complete the card. :)

Laters!

A fun day...

Good morning!

This past weekend was a review weekend at Sweet November Stamps and the team and I were sharing more cards using stamps from the new Falling Under a Spell clear release. I also hosted a Live Saturday morning over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page where we colored this scene using the Fall Day Fairwees set. The boy Fairwee is making a delicious caramel apple out in front of his colorful cottage. The migrating geese flying by are from the older Birch Trees Horizon Lines set and they add to the autumnal vibes of this happy scene.  

Don't forget that today is the last day to take advantage of the shopping special for this release, spend $75 or more in physical product and you will get the 3x4 Candie Corn set absolutely FREE (while supplies last). There is also the exclusive limited time digital bundle deal and the exclusive Goblin Gilly digi and Goblin Gordie digital shopping incentives that all disappear at midnight tonight.  :) 

Have a great week!

Holiday cheer...

Olo! 

We sent out the Sweet November Stamps October newsletter a week early last night and it covered the final Halloween digi release of the year as well as the Falling Under a Spell clear release. With all of that Halloween cuteness being reviewed you would think that the free digi would follow suit. Instead, we are jumping ahead to Christmas with the adorable Cocoa Cutie. This sweet little gingerbread cookie is taking a dip in a warm cup of cocoa topped with dollops of whipped cream. I borrowed a sentiment from the Hug in a Mug clear set and limited the color palette to warm shades of red, brown and pink. The fancy scallop die kinda reminds me of royal icing piped onto a gingerbread, making it a perfect frame for this sweet Christmas scene.  :)
