Get Well Cookies digi release!

 

Hello friends!

Today we are introducing the latest addition to our popular cookie digi collections at Sweet November Stamps and the theme this time is Get Well. There are three sets to choose from: Get Well Cookies set 1 includes a heart beat cookie, prescription note cookie, pill cookie and tablet cookie, Get Well Cookies set 2 includes a tissue box cookie, band-aid cookie, thermometer cookie and vaccine cookie, Get Well Cookies set 3 includes a prescription bottle cookie, nurse's cap cookie, scrubs cookie and crutch cookie. 

My first card mixes the prescription note, pill and tablet cookies from set 1 with the prescription bottle from set 3. All of them were placed on the baking sheet from the Christmas Cookies: Cooking Pans set. The fun pink and yellow color scheme creates a light-hearted tone to this Get Well card.

Next, I paired the vaccine cookie from set 2 with the nurse's cap and scrubs cookies from set 3. This time I have them on the cooling rack from the Christmas Cookies: Cooking Pans set and went with a red and teal color combo.

Finally, I printed a pair of crutches from set 3 and the band-aid from set 2, again on the cooling rack from the Christmas Cookies: Cooking Pans set. I also used the Alphabet Cookies to spell out part of the sentiment. I tried to color the letters to look like a wrapped cast for a fun continuation of the theme.

Now be sure to check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more Get Well sweetness from the rest of our talented design team. Also, don't forget, I will be coloring Live today at 11am PST over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and I hope to see ya there!

 

 

Happy Easter...

TGIF! 

I still hadn't colored up the curly haired girl from the Ruffles and Roses set and as I was looking at her I realized how easy it would be to turn her into an Easter stamp. All I had to do was wipe the ink away from the heart she is holding behind her back in the original image before stamping. This left an empty spot for me to then stamp the Easter basket from the Egg Hunt set after I had masked her off. Once the mask was removed, I was left with a seamless blend of the two stamps, a pretty girl hunting eggs in her best Easter dress. For the background I stamped a cottage from the Autumn Cottages Background Builder set and a little bunny from the Bountiful Blessings: Soft Sunshine set, along with the daffodils and egg from the Egg Hunt set. Between her dress, the flowers and the cottage door, sunshine yellow became the the stand out color in this spring scene. This visual triangle is a design trick that leads the viewer's eye pleasantly through the key elements of the design. I hope this simple alteration inspires you to play with the theme of the stamps in your collection too.  :)

Have a great weekend!

Have a colorful Easter...

Hello, hello!
  
This cutie is from the retired Colorful Easter set from CC Designs. I've actually not only had him stamped up since last spring, but I had even started coloring him, getting the skin, hair and eyes done before setting him aside. Easter passed and he has been waiting, unfinished, all this time. Now that we are back in Easter card making season it was time to finally get this boy onto a card. I love the humor in this scene, with the little egg leaping out of the basket and that look on Henry's face is priceless. The story absolutely tells itself. It was pretty quick getting the background all colored in and it feels good to see this completed card finally come together.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!
