Wildflower Kids New Stamp Release

Two new Wildflower Kids stamp sets are being released today and are available at the Stamp Happens Shop!  Check out these little cuties – the girls’ set is called Pretty In Pink and the boys’ set is called No Girls Allowed. 

And here is my card that features the Pretty in Pink set – this little one is Ivy.  

This card is also loosely based on a Twilight Tuesday Sketch Challenge (TTSC9, to be specific).  We’re doing a review of all 15 of the past sketches this week – click here to check them out!   And while you’re clicking away, be sure to visit the members of the Stamp Sistahs Design Team to see what they have created for today!

And here’s my project – my first holiday card of the season!  It was FUN to break out that red and green combo for this one!  The two stamps used on this card are from the Naughty and Nice set.  And the cheeky nature of these images informed the design of the card.  The designer paper that I used, from Bo Bunny’s Tis the Season line (also from the Stamp Happens shop!) is a bit distressed, and I was just about to start distressing away on everything else on the card.  But I realized that using the “Jingle Bell Rock Star” sentiment called for some bling on the card, so I went in that direction, with lots of glittery touches on the stamped images, rhinestones, and glittery red snowflakes.  You know, that classic sign of Christmas.  And Morgan is SO fun to color – look at her cute little winking expression! 

What I Used:

Paper:  Papertrey Ink Rustic Cream and Vintage Cream cardstock; Stampin’ Up! Riding Hood Red and Garden Green cardstock; Bo Bunny Tis the Season designer paper

Stamps:  StampInsanity Stamps Naughty and Nice set

Ink:  Versafine black

Accessories:  Cuttlebug: Spellbinders Nestabilities long rectangle and square dies; Kaiser rhinestones; Martha Stewart snowflake punch; Sakura Gelly Roll pens (clear, white, red, and gold); Copic Ciao markers; dimensionals

Release Day for Wildflower Kids Holiday Stamps!

Today’s the day for the release of a brand-new digital stamp set from Wildflower Kids Stamps, available exclusively at the Stamp Happens Shop!  Go check them out – they’re as cute as can be!  This digital set, called ‘Tis the Season, is holiday-themed and the images can be seen below. 

I am having some technical difficulties with my printer and don’t have a project to share at the moment.  I will have something to display using these stamps as soon as I can; in the meantime, go and visit the talented members of the Stamp Sistahs Design Team to see what they have to show off today!

Journal for the Breathings of Your Heart

I totally stole those words.  They’re not mine…but I can tell you where you can get ‘em!  That line is from a quote by William Wordsworth, and comes courtesy of a beautiful new stamp from Beth Schultz’s StampInsanity Stamps.  The stamp is from the set called Meet Henry & Morgan and is available exclusively at the Stamp Happens Shop.

Because I am totally obsessed with making Bind-it-All books lately, I thought of using this stamp on a journal as soon as I saw it.   This one is an 8”x8” journal covered with one of my all-time favorite papers from K & Company.   I know from past experience that carrying books around is really hard on any embellishments that are on the covers, so I like to keep books that will actually be regularly used (rather than displayed) really simple.  So to reinforce the die cut labels on the front of the journal, I backed them with a lightweight chipboard and then ran them through my Cuttlebug.  I think I ran them through twice to be sure they cut properly, and that resulted in a really clean cuts and embossing – see below: Here’s a view of the entire front of the journal.  For the labels, I used Papertrey Ink’s Rustic Cream cardstock, which is really nice with its flecks of fiber, and the green shade is Stampin’ Up’s Sage Shadow, a really lovely color. 

The inside covers of the journal were done in Sage Shadow and the back is covered with Stampin’ Up! Creamy Caramel, one of my all-time fave colors.

What I Used:

Paper:  K & Company designer paper; Stampin’ Up! cardstock in Sage Shadow and Creamy Caramel; Papertrey Ink cardstock in Rustic Cream

Stamp:  StampInsanity Stamps, Meet Henry & Morgan set, from the Stamp Happens Shop

Ink:  Versafine in Vintage Sepia

Accessories:  Cuttlebug with Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Four dies; Zutter Bind-It-All machine, covers, antique brass o-wires

New Wildflower Kids are Coming!

Hey everyone!  Want another sneak peek at a new stamp set?  Well, here you go – Wildflower Kids Stamps is releasing a new set called Autumn Splendor tomorrow and they are as cute as can be!  You’ll find Wildflower Kids Stamps exclusively at the Stamp Happens Shop – go check ‘em out!

And today this post will really feature only a “peek” – my project is still a work in progress.  I’m in the process of making up a little book for myself, filled with info. on the many, many, many steps that I undergo while cooking for Thanksgiving.  I’ve been meaning to collect all of this info. in one place forever – timelines, recipes, various notes, you name it.  And this Autumn Splendor set gave me the perfect image to work with – check out this beautiful cornucopia image!  This will be the cover of my book.  I am waiting a bit to assemble the whole book and to bind it, since I want to take some time to sort out what I want to include so I can determine how many pages the book will need.  I might add tabs for sections, too.  I’ll be sure to post the whole project after it has been completed, but for now, I wanted to give you an idea of the lovely images you’ll find in the Autumn Splendor set! 

The cover of this book was covered with designer paper by 7 Gypsies, and I colored the cornucopia image with Prismacolor pencils.  I used my Cricut to cut the letters for “thanksgiving.”

The Wildflower Kids Autumn Splendor stamp set is a digital set of images by artist Jen Shults, which will be available for purchase and downloading tomorrow at the Stamp Happens Shop. 

Today, the Senior Design Team members of the Stamp Sistahs Design Team will be previewing their projects from the Autumn Splendor set; hop over and take a look!

Introducing the New StampInsanity Sets!

Today’s the day!  StampInsanity Stamps has released three new, and fantastic, stamps sets, available now at the Stamp Happens Shop!  Two of the sets, Morgan’s Spell and Halloween Henry, are Halloween-themed.  I posted a card made with the Morgan’s Spell this week (to the right).  The third set, called Morgan’s Love, is a HUGE set that is perfect for all the bookworms out there!  It’s filled with sentiments related to losing yourself in good books and is sooo much fun.  I used this set for my project today.  Morgan is a regular character in the StampInsanity lines – you’ll see her in this badge (at the left) as well.  StampInsanity Stamps are sold exclusively at the Stamp Happen Shop – get ‘em while they last!

Today, the Stamp Sistahs Design Team is unveiling their projects from these three new sets; visit them to check them out!

My project today features Morgan, who is happily lost in a good book!  Beth Schultz, the creator of StampInsanity Stamps, is a avid reader and you can really see how much her love of reading inspired the images in this stamp set.  And evidently, Morgan loves to read so much that she even reads in French!  I stamped and paper-pieced the pages of her book with Stampin’ Up!’s French Script background stamp.  Just because it amused me, really. 

So, have fun visiting the Design Team members to see what they have to display today, and then – get yourself to the Stamp Happens Shop and get your own sets!

What I Used:

Paper:  Papertrey ink Vintage Cream and Melon Berry cardstock; Stampin’ Up! Certainly Celery cardstock

Stamps:  StampInsanity Stamps, Morgan’s Love, available at the Stamp Happens Shop; Stampin’ Up! French Script

Ink:  Papertrey Ink Melon Berry

Accessories:  Cuttlebug:  Sizzix damask embossing folder, Nestabilities long rectangle die; Prima flower; Dew Drops; Copic Markers; dimensionals

And here is my card!  I used the new set called Morgan’s Spell and I could not WAIT to get this witchy little stamp inked up!  How adorable is she? 

Coloring this image was so much fun.  I stamped the image with black ink and colored it with Prismacolor markers, with a couple of glittery highlights done with my fave Jelly Roll pens.  Her earrings just HAD to sparkle!  I used Stickles in Frosted Lace on the moon, and penciled in a little extra “moonglow” around the moon with a really pale blue-grey Prismacolor pencil.  The stars in the background are also from the Morgan’s Spell set and were stamped in metallic silver.  I embossed the white background with a stars texture plate from Fiskars. 

The quote on the card is yet another stamp from this set, and it features the classic witchy quote from Macbeth: 

Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble.

~ William Shakespeare

Lots of details for you!  I had a TON of fun making this one.  Be sure to hit the Stamp Happens Shop on Friday to grab these three new sets before they’re gone!

What I Used:

Paper:  Papertrey Ink white cardstock; Stampin’ Up! Ballet Blue cardstock; The Paper Company silver metallic cardstock; Bazzill Bling in Tiara

Stamps:  StampInsanity Stamps Morgan’s Spell set (girl image, quote, and stars) from the Stamp Happens Shop

Ink:  Stampin’ Up! Ballet Blue and Night of Navy
