Hello Spring...

Hey, hey!

I'm back with another card that I made for the new Spring release at Stamping Bella. Whimsabella Flutterbreeze is an adorable spring fairy floating on a soft breeze with her little butterfly friend. I've paired them both with the Storybook Meadows Backdrop and colored everything in pretty pastel colors. The end result is an enchanting and fantastical looking scene full of magic.  :)

Toodles!

You mean the world to me...

Good morning!

I've still got some cards to share using stamps from the new Spring release at Stamping Bella. The Spring Bundle Girl Peekers set may just be my absolute favorite from this release. I always adore any new Bundle Girl and now that I have a set that works on postage collage dies, I am such a happy stamper. I've used all four of the Spring Bundle Girl Peekers on this card with the four square postage die from The Stamp Market. How cute are they, just hanging out in there own little space? I colored them in pretty Spring colors and when I went to add embellishments I used enamel dots in matching colors. The post marks that I added are also in some of the same Spring colors. All of which comes together to create a candy sweet postage collage. The sentiment is from the Spec-tacular Together Sentiment set and I thought it suited their cute, thoughtful poses.

Thanks for stopping by!

Last day to pre-order at TGF...

 

Hey, hey!

Today is the last day to pre-order the Big Birthday kit at The Greeting Farm for the discounted price of $42. Once the kits arrive at the end of the month any extras will be up for purchase in the store but at the regular price of $50. There are five cute Anyas and two Ians included in this kit, as well as a bunch of party accessories and four sentiments.

My first card features this pretty Anya wearing her fancy new party dress. She feels so special on her big day as the confetti falls all around and the shiny balloons float overhead.

 

Finally, this cute Anya couldn't wait to dive into that delicious birthday cake so she has helped herself to a slice. Don't worry, she cut it from the back of the cake so no one else would notice. ;)

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

A lovely Spring Birthday...

Hello again!

It's a review weekend at Sweet November Stamps and I thought I would play with some of the cute critters from the Spring Woodland digi collection again. This time I printed out the raccoon from the Spring Woodland Squirrel, Cub and Raccoon set and the fox from the Spring Woodland Chipmunk, Fox and Skunk set. Rather than pair them with the Spring Woodland Background I opted for the Wildflower Meadow Background clear set. It creates quite the idyllic scene for these furry friends. The sentiment was put together using the Birthdays are the Best set turning this card into a sweet birthday message. 

Toodles!

Happy Birthday Taurus...

Hello!

I'm back with a new Scenic Saturday card to share over on the Bellariffic blog and I'm excited to be using stamps from the new Spring release that just hit the shelves yesterday. This quirky birthday card is centered around Oddball Zodiac Taurus and her symbolic bull.

Because of the size discrepancy between the girl and the bull I stamped the bull higher up on the card front. This placement forces the perspective making the bull look like he is standing further away within the scene. From there all I had to do was hand color in the grassy field that they are both standing in. Then by sketching in the tiny fence behind them both I was able to push the distance of the field back even further. If that wasn't enough, adding the trees beyond the fence in varying sizes expands the world of these Zodiac cuties one final layer. Whenever you are building a scene keep in mind that playing with the size of the elements helps add a whole lot of interest.  :)

Stay crafty my friends!
