Hoppy Hearts clear release at SN!

 


Hi friends!

The new Hoppy Hearts clear release is now available at Sweet November Stamps and we are excited to introduce all 14 of the new Valentine and Easter stamp sets as well as two new sequin mixes. Three of the stamps are the final additions to our year long Birthstone Dragon series, January Garnet Dragon, February Amethyst Dragon and March Aquamarine Dragon. 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 Fairwee Happy Mail 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 February 14th. All of the sets have been bundled together, which is 86 images for $113. As an added bonus, from now through Monday, February 9th, every digi order placed at Sweet November Stamps will also receive the exclusive Window Wilma digi for FREE and digi orders over $10 with also include Window Walter for FREE, no code necessary.  :)

For my first card I created a sweet Valentine scene using the Fairwee Happy Mail set, that just so happens to be the shopping incentive freebie for this release. With their winter boots and cozy shawls I left some snow on the ground when I colored in the background. They both look so happy sending and receiving their notes of friendship and love. The sentiment was borrowed from the SN Guy and Gal Eric and Nadine set and it works just as well for a friendship theme. 


Next, we have one of the two adorable chibis included in this release. This Easter sweetie is Lila and she is carrying an Easter basket full of eggs and other goodies.  I decided to work her into a colorful faux post card and used flowers from the new Hoppy Easter set to decorate the postage stamp. The other post marks are from the handy, dandy Year Round Post Marks set.

 

Finally for today, I've created a mini slimline card using the SN Guy and Gal Eric and Nadine set. This flirty duo are out on a date in the big city thanks to the background from the older City Sidewalks set. Whether it is dinner and a movie or a night out dancing, it looks like these two will only have eyes for each other.  :)

Holds my heart...

Hi friends! 

I recently received my stamps from the Love Notes release at Hello Bluebird and as always, I couldn't wait to get inky. The cute critters from the Candy Hearts set looked to be the perfect size to use with the Santa Postage die, especially when I inked up just the top half of the adorable mole so that it looks like he is popping out of the ground. I did my best to color the candy hearts they are holding in the same soft pastels that the real candies come in, then I stamped the massages in red ink. The postage themed finishing touches came from the Postage Collage Valentine set from Waffle Flower and the Year Round Post Marks from Sweet November Stamps. The sentiment is from the Kissing Booth set and I thought it went perfect with these heart holding cuties.  :)

Later gators!

Fairy dust wishes...

Hey, hey!

The first of four Fae-bruary Fairy digis just released at Sweet November Stamps. Each Wednesday of this month, a new fairy will be added to the store and a weekly fairy themed challenge will be added in the Friends of Sweet November Stamps Facebook group. For this first week we are introducing Winsome Sparkledust, a coy little fairy full of sweetness and delight. Because she is seated on a mushroom I paired her with more mushrooms from the Toadstool Background set. I then proceeded to color her into a fresh spring scene full of blue skies, happy clouds and pretty purple toadstools. With such a cute look on her face, I can practically hear her high, tinkling voice say, "Why, hello there".  ;)

 So be sure to to check out Winsome Sparkledust, and who knows... maybe you'll want to use her to participate in the Sweet November Fae-bruary challenges.  ;)

Toodles!

The Purrrfect friend...

Good morning!

Saturday was a review at Sweet November Stamps and during my Live over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page I shared some sneak peeks from the clear release coming on February 7th. This is the scene that we colored up and I paired the girl and cat from the older Postage Pals: Portrait set with the soon to be released Spring Window set. It is a fun scene builder set that creates more opportunities to use all of the cute kiddos from the various Postage Pals sets. After the Live was over I added a sentiment from the Kitty Cuddles set as a final finishing touch to the card. 

Don't forget that not only do we have a clear release this month but it is also Fae-bruary so be watching the store for some mid-week digi magic flying into the store every week.  ;)

Thanks for popping by!
