Cuppa Christmas Fairwees digi release at SN!

 

Hello friends!

Our beloved Fairwees are back and ready to celebrate Christmas in their own magical way. The Cuppa Christmas Fairwee digi release at Sweet November Stamps is made up of six adorable Fairwees playing in the holiday mugs that hold all of our favorite cold weather beverages, plus a coordinating sentiment set that you can get with the bundle deal. Please say hello to Tipsy, Bonbon, Lu, Mim, Nibit and Pip. I thought it would be fun to create a whole set of faux post cards with these sweet Fairwees.

My first faux post card features Tipsy, and she is all about adding peppermint to her cup of cocoa. Mini marshmallows are a must as well for this sweet fairwee. The peppermint decorating the postage stamp is from the Sweet Christmas Fairies clear set and the holiday postage elements are from the Year Round Post Marks clear set. For the background I thought that a soft pink would be a playful twist with the traditional Christmas reds and greens throughout the rest of the card.

 
Next, little Bonbon has filled his mug with cozy blankets, creating the perfect spot for a long winter's nap. A reindeer from the Santa and reindeer Postage Pals clear set is peeking in from the postage stamp and more holiday postage accents were added from the Year Round Post Marks clear set. Subtle stars in the kraft colored background elude to this cute fairwee's time of slumber.

Fairwee Lu took a note from her pal and added fluffy blankets to her mug, creating a cozy spot to read her favorite Christmas stories. The ornaments decorating the postage stamp are from the Elegant Reindeer clear set and the post marks are from the Year Round Post Marks clear set. Subtle snowflakes fall in the background, tying back to the snowflake on Lu's mug.

Finally for today, Fairwee Mim is so excited for the holiday season that she has jumped into her mug full of cocoa and mini marshmallows. Who doesn't love a sweet splash of chocolatey goodness?! The stocking on the postage stamp is from the Simple Room: Christmas Add-on clear set and the handy-dandy Year Round Post Marks clear set complete the postage theme. I think the mix of stripes and polka dots add to the playfulness of this particular post card.  :)

Now be sure to check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more Cuppa Christmas cuteness from the rest of our talented design team. Also, don't forget, I will be coloring Live today at 11am PDT over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and I hope to see ya there!
 
 

A super chill day...

TGIF!    

Let's round out this week with another fun winter scene using a stamp from the It's the Season collection by Chilliezgraphy by Pei at Purple Onion Designs. This polar bear and penguin duo are Ice Fishing, and it looks like they have gotten a bite! For the snow drifts in the background I actually used the Sand Dunes stamp, gotta love the versatility with that oldie but goodie. The sentiment from the Friendly Warm Wishes sentiment set, another not necessarily made for this season stamp, but it totally works in this context.   :)

Hope you have a chill day too!

Through the snow we go...

Hi friends!    

I'm back with another sweet Christmas card using a stamp from the Cotswood Christmas collection at Purple Onion Designs. This one is called Hold on Tight and it features a bear pulling a trio of little bunnies on a sled through the winter snow. Because this cute image is longer than it is tall, I was inspired to stamp it on a mini slimline card. The snow covered mountains and evergreen forest were all hand colored in to set the scene for these fun friends and I completed the card with a sentiment from the Holiday Blurbs II set. It certainly looks like they are all enjoying this snowy winter day together, don't ya think?  :)

Later gators!

Wrapped in the gift of happiness...

Hey there!    

It's time to get all bundled up with these cute mice from the It's the Season collection by Chilliezgraphy by Pei at Purple Onion Designs. The stamp is called Crazy Love and it features these two fuzzy mice sharing a scarf while ice skating together. In the distance I added the Winter Trees Background for a bit of extra color in the scene. The new May Your Holidays sentiment was stamped in red ink to tie back to their cozy knit caps and scarf. All together, it creates another adorable Christmas card full of the warm fuzzies that this season brings.  :)

Have a good one!

Every time a bell rings...

Good morning!

We had such a great time with the Spooky Season Spooktacular challenges back in September that we decided to host a Countdown to Christmas weekly challenge at Sweet November Stamps! The four week challenge begins today with the addition of this adorable Bell Angel digital stamp that was just added to the store. You will find this week's challenge prompt and album in the Sweet November Stamps Facebook group and participating in each week's challenge will earn you a unique exclusive free digi as well as an entry into a drawing for a $30 gift certificate to the SN store. It's going to be a whole lot of holiday fun as we jingle-jangle our way to the merriest time of the year.

I colored this sweet Bell Angel as a sneak peek during my Saturday Live over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. She turned out so cute with her light blonde hair and whisper of wisteria colored robe. The dreamy, soft background was added using stencils and the Copic airbrush system and the sentiment is also included with the Bell Angel when you purchase her. So I hope you grab this cutie and join us over the next few weeks for some Christmas crafting and digi prizes!

Later gators!
