Stamping Bella mini summer release preview!

Hi friends!

There is a mini Summer release coming to Stamping Bella tomorrow so today the team is sharing sneak peeks of the new stamps. There are fintastic new mermaids, 4th of July fun and summer cuteness all included in this release. My preview card today features the Spec-tacular Seagull and Fries from Amy Glatiotis. This particular seagull is sporting shades while it looks like he has maybe eaten one too many of those fried that he nabbed from an unsuspecting tourist. The sentiment comes with this fun image and it really sums up the entire scene perfectly. Be sure to check out the Stamping Bella blog for more sneak peeks and I will be back tomorrow for the release with more Stamping Bella cuteness!  :)

Laters!

Good friends...

Hello again! 

With the end of this year's MerMay challenge that we've been hosting for the past month in the Friends of Sweet November Stamps Facebook group, I can now share the scene that the progression digi prizes all come together to create. The Sunning Seals were the week 1 prize, then week 2 participants got the Sunning Rock. Sunning Mermaid 1 was the prize for week 3 and the final prize was Sunning Mermaid 2 for week 4. All four of these digital stamps were designed to work as a cohesive scene, though they are all just as fun to mix and match with the other digis in your collection too. Like all of our past challenge digi prizes, these will be exclusive to those who played along until next year when we finally add them to the store for everyone else to get. So, a big thanks to every one of our SN friends who joined the fun for MerMay and helped to make the celebration the best one yet! I can't wait to see these images pop up on the cards you share with us.  :)

Toodles!

Somefin to say...

Hello, hello! 

The May Sweet November Stamps newsletter went out this past weekend and the subscriber free digi was a suggestion I got during one of my Live coloring sessions. Adding a cute scuba diver kiddo to the store would be a fun way to bridge from MerMay into other summer adventures. I loved this idea and Scuba Sara was born, but I couldn't stop there as she needed a diving partner. Scuba Sammy quickly followed on her heels and now they are both available in the Sweet November Stamps store. For this mini slimline card I had fun pairing both scuba kids with the shark from the More Mer Friends set and part of the big 6x6 Mermaid Throne Background. How brave are they?!  ;)

Later gators!


Supply list:
cardstock- Papertrey Ink and Copic X-Press It

digital stamps- Sweet November (
Scuba Sammy and Scuba Sara)

stamps- Sweet November Stamps (
Mermaid Throne Background and More Mer Friends), My Favorite Things (sentiment)

Drift, dance, dream...

 


Good morning!

Today is the last day to get the exclusive Manatee Mambo and Shark Samba digis free with any digital purchase over $10 at Sweet November Stamps. These cute merwees coordinate perfectly with the Merwee Tide Dancers clear set. 

Manatee Mambo is free with any size digi purchase and these two look so cute gliding through the everglades. The background is one of the sheets of paper from the Tidewater Backdrops paper pack and it was perfect for these friends. The sentiment completing the card is from the Merwee Tide Dancers clear set.


Shark Samba is free with any digi purchase over $10 and this spunky pair are getting their groove on out in the middle of the ocean. I used another sheet of paper from the Tidewater Backdrops paper pack, this one full of bubbles and movement, capturing the fun these friends are having. and it was perfect for these friends. The sentiment is from the older Mermaid Hair clear set.

Have a great week!
