Your Next Stamp New Release Blog Hop!

Hi all!  I'm thrilled to be joining Your Next Stamp for their New Release Blog Hop!

There are lots of FUN new goodies for you to see and I'm sure you will love the Party Pets stamp set!  I colored two of the images with Copics then fussy cut them.  I sponged a background with pink and purple inks, spritzed it with water, then layered the images and a purple strip of card stock with foam adhesive.  This set also has some awesome sentiments!

Now here's more fun news:  ***Note, the blog hop prize is bigger $80.00!!!   AND there is a party game going on throughout the hop, participants are asked to count the gumdrops on our creations as they go and then input the total # in the special inlinkz on the YNS Blog at the end of the hop. All those with the correct # will be entered in a random drawing to win 10 packages of gumdrops. ****  Plus there's a SALE!!!

You are Fintastic

Hi all!  Well, we're halfway through the week - we can DO this!  ;)

So I have to say that this has to be in my top 20, maybe top 10, favorite cards that I've ever made!  It makes me so happy when I get an idea and the finished project turns out better than imagined.  The new Honey Bee Stamps set, Mermaid Song, is a large set with so many possibilities!  This mermaid is a good size, perfect for taking center stage of any card!  I colored her with Copics then fussy cut her and layered her over a smooth white card base that I had sponged with two blue inks, Blu Raspberry and Blueberry, and spritzed with water.  I curved the 'fintastic' sentiment for more interest.

CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge!

Hi all!  It's time for a new CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge.  This week it's about Friendship, so I had to break out the Mon Ami stamp set and dies. I used lemon drop and orange zest inks on my card base then layered a circle die over that.  I also sponged the sentiment banner.  The flowers were colored with Copic markers then adhered with foam adhesive.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to play along at the CAS-ual Fridays Blog for a chance to win!

Smile...

Hi all!  I have a cheery little rainbow card for you today because seriously, who doesn't love rainbows??  I embossed the new Honey Bee Stamps Ocean Borders background stamp with white embossing powder over a piece of watercolor paper that I had watercolored with various inks.  Who says that background can only be used for waves? ;)  I think used the Smile die and backed it with white glittered paper using foam adhesive.  The sentiment is from the Smile stamp set and is also embossed with white embossing powder onto black card stock.

You are fiercely awesome

HI all!  Here's a card I made for the MFTWSC342 using the new stamp set, Fierce Friends.  I did quite a bit of masking here.  I colored the not-so-fierce tigers with Copics, then used grape jelly, orange zest and lemon drop inks to sponge the background.  A little spritzing with water adds such a cool look - I'm obsessed!  I also used Copics to create the grass.

Salty Kisses & Mermaid Wishes

Hi all!  I'm back with another mermaid card because HOW CUTE are these new Honey Bee stamps!  I colored the Ocean Bliss mermaid with Copics.  She is popped up on foam adhesive over a background that I created by sponging two different blue inks onto watercolor card stock then spritzed with water.  The sentiments are from the larger set, Mermaid Song and are embossed with white embossing powder onto black licorice card stock.  I also added the crab and starfish from the Mermaid Song set.  :)  I'd love to know what your favorite set is from the new release!

Thanks for stopping by!
