Let it snow...

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!

Thanks and Giving...

Happy Thanksgiving!

You all make me thankful every day to be a part of this great big, wonderful crafty community that we share.  

I threw together a quick card for the holiday that is a bit of a departure from my usual scene cards. Instead, I finally inked up this large sentiment that I've had for years and let it take up the majority of the card front. On either side of the sentiment I stamped adorable hedgies from the Cocoa Buddies and Cocoa Stand sets from Hello Bluebird. I did some tricky stamping and wiping away of ink so that both are now holding delicious pies that are also part of the Cocoa Stand set. I added some fallen leaves from the Book Buddies set, then grounded them all with some soft shadows and just left it at that. Clean and simple with a great message and just enough cuteness to make me happy. :)

Gobble 'til you wobble!

Home for the holidays...

Hi there! 

I've got another card to share today that was colored Live on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page during the Joyful Gatherings clear release weekend. This one features the cute family from the Holiday Travels set. Mom, Dad Sister and Brother have all piled into the family wagon to spend Christmas with their loved ones. To create the background I used stamps from both the Winterscapes Horizon Lines and Winter Wonderland Horizon Lines sets, inking them with a lighter grey ink so they look softer and more in the distance. I really like how the wavy border die that I used to cut off the scene mimics the look of drifting snow, adding to the winter vibes. 

Later gators!
