Charmed by the Sea collection now at POD!

 

 

Hello, hello!

It's an exciting day here on the ol' blog because today is release day at Purple Onion Designs! This new collection is called, Charmed by the Sea and it has everything you need for some fun, summer scene building. Whether your cute critters spend time on beaches that are sandy and tropical or they frequent more northern getaways that are rocky and wild, you are sure to find what you need. Right off the bat, I will also say that these new stamps play perfectly with the previously released Sunshine Lake cuties, which only expands the possibilities!

For my card today I have made a mini slimline featuring little Iris mouse running to the beach in her ruffled swimsuit. There is no time to pause and appreciate the colorful row of cabana huts on her way... this cutie just wants to swim! 

Now for the best news... Purple Onion Designs is offering the complete Charmed by the Sea collection as a special bundle for a limited time. That means all 34 stamps plus the coordinating Seaside Sentiment set can be purchased bundled together with over a 30% discount until Thursday, June 29th. Even better... there is FREE SHIPPING over $75 on domestic orders (no code needed) and $10 OFF international shipping on orders over $85, use code SAVE10 at checkout.

It's a release day blog hop!

The JUNE 2023 RELEASE is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced three new sets, the first is called JUST BECAUSE ANYA which features a cute Anya who is sharing a tray of all her favorite foods. Next, we brought you an adorable mini Anya holding a letter, a little bunny with a flower, and eight different sentiments in a set called A LITTLE MESSAGE. Finally, we finished off the release with a set called MISS CHEEKY SUMMER featuring three Miss Cheeky ladies ready for bright skies and warm nights!

For my hop card today, I've once again paired the remaining Miss Cheeky Summer with a few background elements from the digital Beach set. Instead of lounging in the sand, this Miss Cheeky is taking a walk down the shoreline, watching as the sailboats go cruising across the horizon. Perhaps her crush is captaining one of those boats and she is rooting for him to win the race? Why else would she get so dolled up just for a walk? LOL

To celebrate this release we are having a short BLOG HOP! One lucky fan will take home the entire release!! You have until June 18th, 12pm CST/1pm EST to leave your comments on each Designer's Blog. Then head back to The Greeting Farm Blog to let us know you completed the hop.

Summer is here...

 

 

Hey there!

Here we are at the third and final day of June previews for The Greeting Farm and we are wrapping things up with a very special new set that is introducing a brand new, never before seen character to the Farm. We all know and love Miss Anya, now say a big hello to her friend... Miss Cheeky! The Miss Cheeky Summer set includes three of these larger Cheekies, along with a beach bag and three sentiments. If we think of Miss Anyas as the teen queens of The Farm then I like to think of these Miss Cheekies as the Pink Ladies, LOL! For my card today, I've paired two of the Miss Cheekies with the beach umbrella, chairs, blanket and cooler from the digital Beach set. Just like that, these sassy friends are ready to spend a relaxing day at the beach.

Ok, time to head on over to the TGF blog for even more Miss Cheeky Summer fun from my fellow Farmers. And don't forget that the entire release will be available for purchase tomorrow, as well as a chance to win all of the June stamp sets by participating in the blog hop!

Later gators!

Free Shipping Days at CCC...

Hello again!

The next two days are FREE SHIPPING days at Colorado Craft Company and with  the new, Our Furry Friends collection now available there are even more cute stamps to fill your cart with. Don't forget that the new release blog hop is still going on through tomorrow as well as the chance to win the entire Furry Friends collection by using a designer's affiliate link when you place an order. Winners will all be announced on the 3C blog June 14th.

I've got two more cards to share today and this first one uses the new Treat Yourself stamp set paired with the older New Day Windowsill set. It looks like these hungry pups have found the treat jar and are about to get into some trouble... all while that little kitty looks on disapprovingly. LOL 

 

Next, it's the cat's turn to be pampered with treats, like a champagne glass of milk and saucer full of anchovies... yum! This fun Spoiled Cats set really captures the royal attitude so many of our feline friends seem to have. It's funny because after I finished coloring this card I felt like I had made a Valentine's Day card with them.  :)

Toodles!

Make a splash...

Hey friends! 

We've got a review/preview weekend happening at Sweet November Stamps before the Summer clear release hits on the 17th. Today the team and I are revisiting last year's clear release with new inspiration, as well as sharing sneak peeks of the stamp sets that are about to hit the shelves. For my card today I wanted to pair up one of the super cute Make a Splash Wees with one of the boys from the Make a Splash expansion set. Because I wanted them both swimming, I did some selective inking, only adding ink to the top half of their bodies, before stamping. Now all that was left to decide was where would they be swimming? I finally settled on using just the waterfall from the Pond Scene Builder set.  This left me the entire bottom half of the card to fill in with a sparkling pond that these two cuties can enjoy. I did film the coloring of this card yesterday, so if you are interested in watching it come together you can find the short Reel on Instagram and the longer speed coloring on the Sweet November Stamps Youtube channel. I will also be coloring another review/preview card this morning at 11am PST over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and there will be plenty of teasing some of the new sets too.  ;)

Laters!
