Sweet November Stamps ~ Postal Pals

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card that features a few of the new Fab Favorites collection released a few weeks ago from Sweet November Stamp. 

Today's card stars some of the adorable kiddos from "Postage Pals: Portrait" and "Postage Pals: Landscape" clear stamp sets. These particular stamp sets were designed to fit within the confines of the Waffle Flower Postage Dies.

To accompany the postage theme, we also added the "Year Round Post Marks" stamp set.  I  a few of the birthday themed post marks and the parallel marks across my stamps and also to create the front panel of my card.

I used Copics to color all of my images for this card - no big surprise!

To finish off the card, I used one stamp space to add in the sentiment using the new "Birthdays Are the Best".  I actually included the word "March" and this card is already been mailed off to someone special!

I hope you have a wonderful and crafty weekend!

Sweet November Stamps ~ Bring on the Birthday Cookies!

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card that I shared over the weekend on Instagram using another fun digital image from Sweet November Stamp. These images are part of the new digital release, "Birthday Cookies".

There are 4 new digital collections to purchase.  We have 3 sets of shaped cookies including birthday boy & girl cookies, a balloon doggy cookie... all the way to birthday presents and cake cookies!  The last and final set is a set of number cookies and that includes a question mark cookie too! See the images and links listed at the bottom of the post.

My card today shares the adorable "Birthday Cookies Set #1".  This set includes a party hat, a lit candle, a balloon dog and finally a cupcake cookie.  I decided to use them all!

I started my digital scene by bringing the sweet little "Midnight's Gift" image and adapting it to fit my 4 cookie images.

To finish off the card, I added one of our new birthday greetings from the "Birthdays Are the Best" clear stamp sets.

So super cute!   Hope you check out all the new cookie designs!  Have a great week!

Today I'm sharing the adorable piglet, "Daisy", on my card.

I used my Spellbinders Betterpress Letterpress system to letterpress my little oinker and the sentiment.

I used my sewing machine to tack on the sentiment pieces and also the focal panel.

Once dry, I colored it with Copic Markers.

Crafty Meraki ~ Meraki Harmony Release

Crafty Meraki is celebrating a new Spring release.  Introducing Meraki Harmony!

Today we're celebrating with a Instagram Hop.

BEGIN HERE:  Crafty Meraki Insta

The card I'm sharing on today's hop stars the beautiful new stamp, die and stencil set, "Petal Poetry".

I used the stamp set and then used stencil to add some of the leaf details on.  I also used some Copic Markers and Polychromos Pencils to add more depth and detail to the flowers and the leaves along with the stencil.

I combined it with the gorgeous and ornate "Fern Lattice Die" in purple to match the blooms. 

To finish the card off, I stamped the simple greeting from the "Petal Poetry" stamp set.

Such a fun and simple purple creation!
