Snow days are the best days...

Good morning! 

Just a reminder that with today being Cyber Monday, this is your last chance to save 50% OFF all digital stamps at Sweet November Stamps. It's also the last day to get the exclusive new Back Porch Background digi that is FREE with any $10 digi purchase. 

My card today is the last one that we colored Live during the Holiday Gatherings clear release weekend over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. It features a couple of the cute kiddos and their playful pup from the Snow Days set having fun throwing snowballs at each other. For the background, I used stamps from both the Winter Wonderland Horizon Lines and Winterscapes Horizon Lines sets. We did a lot of dressing up by adding textures and prints to the kid's winter wear and creating the morning glow in the snow was another great technique that we went over during this Live. The sentiment that I added after the Live is from the Postage Pals: Snowmen set in a soft ink color to match the snow.

Happy December days my friends!

Love with all the trimmings...

Hello there! 

These happy Wee Tree Trimmers were colored up during the Joyful Gatherings release weekend Lives over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. The candy coated color suggestions that I got from my fellow crafters created this wonderful 50s retro vibe this is just too cute with these tiny elves. The entire scene takes on an extra playful look with the non-traditional holiday color scheme. Now, even though the new clear release isn't included in the Black Friday Sale that ends at midnight tonight, there are still plenty of great deals to be found and just a few of the Limited Edition Little Drummer Boy sets that are FREE with $50 physical orders. It definitely feels like Christmas has come early at Sweet November Stamps. ;)

Toodles!

Season's Greetings...

 

Hey, hey!    

The annual Holiday Sale is on at Purple Onion Designs. Through Monday, December 8th you will find almost everything in the store 25% OFF!

This cute Reindeer Wreath is part of the Tofu and Friends Holiday Happiness collection and I think it looks like the perfect Christmas tree ornament. This inspired me to pull out a bokeh stencil and create a background of out of focus lights on a tree using the Copic airbrush system. The sentiment is from the Season Sayings Sentiment set and I heat embossed it in white to help it stand out a bit better. :)

Have fun shopping!

More TGI-Black Friday! 

Ok digi fans, we didn't forget about you on this Black Friday at Sweet November Stamps. Now through Monday, December 1st, we have added new digital bundles of past clear releases and all digital stamps are 50% OFF. And don't worry, we've got an exclusive new digi that is FREE with any $10 digi purchase. The new Back Porch Background will eventually be available for purchase in the store, but not until next November, until then this weekend is your only chance to add this great scene builder to your digi collection. It is designed to work perfectly with all of the Front Porch Decor sets, as you can see on my card below. I started by stamping and masking the cute kiddo and pup from the Snow Days set along with the wreath, tree and snowman from the Front Porch Christmas Decor set, then sending it through my printer to add the Back Porch Background. This charming winter scene came together pretty quickly after that. :)

Have fun shopping!
