Sweet November Stamps ~ Time for Turkey!

Today I’m sharing a cozy, heartwarming scene featuring the brand-new “Time for Turkey” digital stamp from Sweet November Stamps! This adorable image of our sweet little lady proudly holding her Thanksgiving turkey instantly made me think of family gatherings and home-cooked comfort.

To give her a warm setting, I paired her with the “Modern Living Room” digital background, complete with its coordinating accessories — the couch, potted plant, and candles. I imagined a chilly day outside those big picture windows, so I added a few evergreen trees from the “North Pole Friends Background Builder” and even a brick wall from the “Scene Builder: Castle” to create a backyard view.

Of course, no home is complete without a couple of furry companions! I brought in “Mini the Multipoo” and the curious cat from “Spring is Back” to keep her company. Every element was colored with Copic Markers to bring that warm, lived-in glow to the room.

Finally, I mounted my finished scene on a piece of patterned paper from the Catherine Pooler Designs “Right at Home” paper pack to complete the cozy home vibe.

Such a fun card to design and color!  Have a great weekend!

Sweet November Stamps ~ Howl-o-ween Pups are Here!

Halloween’s gone to the dogs… in the best way possible! 🐶🎃

Today’s card features the brand-new digital “Howl-o-ween Pups” collection from Sweet November Stamps. This fun set includes six adorable puppies all decked out in their Halloween best — ready to go trick-or-treating around the neighborhood!

For my card, I chose to feature five of the 6 of these costumed cuties:

• Arthur’s Dino Costume 🦖

• Waffles’ Witch Costume 🧙‍♀️

• Dash’s Dracula Costume 🦇

• Pepe’s Pirate Costume ☠️

• Sparky’s Spider Costume 🕷️

To set the stage for their evening adventure, I used the “Neighborhood Background Builder” digital scene. It creates the perfect suburban backdrop for my Howl-o-ween gang under the starry sky.

Everything was colored with Copic Markers, bringing each pup to life with vibrant fur textures, playful costume colors, and a touch of Halloween night magic.

All six of these festive furry friends are now available in the Sweet November Stamps shop — perfect for creating your own tail-wagging Halloween scenes!

Happy Howl-o-ween! 🐾🎃

Sweet November Stamps ~ Halloween Postage

Happy Halloween, crafty friends! 👻

Today I’m sharing a fun and festive card featuring the adorable “Halloween Postage Pals: Portrait” clear stamp set from Sweet November Stamps. This set is designed to pair perfectly with the trendy postage-style dies and is filled with the cutest trick-or-treating characters — each one full of Halloween charm!

For my card, I used the postage frame to create a playful collage layout and filled each section with one of the sweet little costumed pals. I loved bringing each character to life with my Copic Markers, adding bright, candy-inspired colors and soft shading to match their fun personalities.

To make the backgrounds pop, I blended a mix of vibrant inks to create glowing, inky panels that feel perfectly Halloween-y. I even added some light splatter for extra texture and sparkle. To add some fun texture, I dabbed some cheesecloth into some black acrylic paint and "printed" on cobwebs!  And to finish things off, I included one of the sentiments from the same stamp set — “Monster Mode Activated” — because it fit this mischievous bunch so perfectly!

This stamp set is a total treat to work with and would be perfect for Halloween cards, tags, or even scrapbook accents celebrating spooky fun memories.

Thanks for stopping by today!

You can find this card and all the newest releases in the Sweet November Stamps shop.

Scrap'N Stamp ~ Spooky Scary Skeletons Instagram Hop **WIN**

Boo! 👻 It’s time for the Spooky Scary Skeletons Creative Hop with Scrap’N Stamp! This hop features some frightfully fun products from The Crafty Canuck shop — perfect for celebrating the Halloween season.

For my card today, I’m showcasing the adorable “Tall Cats” die set. This set features four bright-eyed cuties that are just the right mix of spooky and sweet!

To create my background, I began by blending Distress Oxide Inks in Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, and Crackling Campfire to achieve that warm, glowing Halloween sunset look. Next, I added a misting of Distress Mica Stain in Wicked Elixir and Hocus Pocus to give the background some magical shimmer and movement.

Once the panel was dry, I masked off the ground area and blended it with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink to create a dark base for my cats to sit upon. Using Lavinia Stamps, I added some Spring Trees to the horizon for a haunting silhouette and finished with a sprinkling of Burst of Stars across the sky for a twinkly night effect.

The cats were die cut from black cardstock and their eyes and noses were backed with white cardstock, then colored with a bright orange hue for a spooky glow. To finish, I stamped a playful sentiment from the Catherine Pooler “Ghostly Greetings Sentiments” stamp set — “For my frightfully fun friend.”

Sweet November Stamps ~ The Owens Sisters

Today I’m sharing a card featuring the fabulous SN Gals: The Owens Sisters clear stamp set from Sweet November Stamps. These stylish sisters are enjoying a stroll through the city, and I couldn’t resist dressing them up in cozy Autumn-inspired outfits to match the season!

To create their setting, I used the Background Builder: City Sidewalks stamp set to give them a lively urban backdrop full of character and charm. I stamped, masked, and colored the scene using my Copic Markers, blending warm fall hues into the details.

For the sentiment, I used one from the Fall Gatherings clear stamp set—“Our friendship is as colorful as autumn leaves”—which perfectly captures the warmth of this card. I even added a few tiny leaf images from that same set to decorate one sister’s dress for an extra seasonal touch.

Whether it’s a pumpkin-spice coffee stroll or an afternoon of leaf-peeping, these two are ready to enjoy the crisp autumn air together!

Sweet November Stamps ~ Fall Gatherings

Fall truly is the best season of all! 🍂 Today I’m sharing a fun autumn scene card featuring some of the adorable kiddos from the brand new “Fall Gatherings” clear stamp set from Sweet November Stamps.

To set the scene, I combined several different background stamp sets: the “Front Porch Background” to create the cozy home setting, the “Front Porch Halloween Decor” for a few fun seasonal details (like that cute pumpkin by the stairs!), and the “Horizon Lines – Spring” for the distant trees and gentle horizon line. These sets layer together perfectly to create a full outdoor scene.

This card required a lot of masking to bring all of the elements together, but the end result was totally worth it! Once everything was stamped and masked, I colored up the entire image with my Copic Markers—adding all those warm, golden fall tones that make this season so magical.

I just love how these little friends are enjoying their leaf-raking adventure on a crisp autumn day. 🍁

Thanks for stopping by and celebrating the season with me!

Sweet November Stamps ~ Bitty Boos and Blooms

Today I’m sharing a slimline card featuring some of the cutest little ghosties around! These sweet characters are from the “Bitty Boos” clear stamp set by Sweet November Stamps. I paired them with the whimsical flowers from the “Spring Wees” stamp set for a fun and unexpected combination.

Instead of going the traditional Halloween color route, I decided to mix things up with a soft, playful palette of peach, lavender, and soft orange. The result is a non-traditional but super cheerful Halloween-inspired card that feels fresh and lighthearted.

I stamped my images across the tall slimline panel, then colored everything with Copic Markers to bring those little ghosties and blooms to life. The soft green background adds a nice pop of color without overwhelming the design, letting the characters shine.

I love how this card turned out—it’s a perfect way to show that Halloween cards don’t always have to be spooky or dark. Sometimes, sweet and whimsical is just as fun!

💀👻🌸 Happy Haunting!

Sweet November Stamps ~ Halloween Postage Pals

Halloween is right around the corner, and I couldn’t resist playing with the adorable new Halloween Postage Pals: Landscape clear stamp set from Sweet November Stamps. 🎃👻

This set is designed to pair perfectly with those trendy postage-style dies, and I just love how each little “window” can feature a fun trick-or-treater or spooky scene. For my card, I filled nearly every space with these cute characters all dressed up for Halloween!

To bring the background to life, I masked off the images and blended on a creamy orange combo of Distress Oxide inks. This created a warm and glowing backdrop that really makes the little costumes pop.

To accompany my trick-or-treaters, I added a few extra touches from the Front Porch Halloween Decor stamp set, including the “Boo” door hanger, the tiny black cat, and some fluttering bat silhouettes. These small details tie the whole card together and give it that perfect festive feel.

All of the brand-new Halloween and Fall releases are now available in the Sweet November Stamps  —be sure to check them out and scoop up your favorites!

Happy haunting and happy crafting! ✨🦇

Sweet November Stamps ~ Moon Dance Witchwees

Happy spooky season, friends! 🍂✨ Today I’m sharing a fun Halloween card featuring some of the brand-new Sweet November Stamps digital images. This release introduces the Moon Dance Witchwees series, which includes four little dancin’ witchwees along with the whimsical and spook-tacular Moon Dance Manor.

For my card, I chose to create a lively little scene using three of the Witchwees: Edwina, Sabina, and Tabitha. To bring the magic to life, I also added the Bubbling Cauldron and a few of the Spooky Trees for that extra eerie touch. Together they make such a fun backdrop for these playful little witches twirling, flying, and giggling the night away!

Everything is colored up with my Copic markers to add depth, movement, and those bright pops of festive color. I love how the cheerful witchwees really stand out against the moody trees and bubbling cauldron.

If you’d like to dance under the moonlight with these cuties, you can find all four Witchwees and the Moon Dance Manor right now in the Sweet November Stamps shop. 🧙‍♀️💫

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sweet November Stamps ~ Toil and Trouble

Today I’m sharing a magical card featuring the brand-new “Toil and Trouble” clear stamp from Sweet November Stamps! This little witch is just too cute to resist and was such a joy to color.

I began by stamping our mischievous witch and masking her off to work on the background. Using a mix of deep reds and pink Distress Oxide inks, I blended around the border of my card to create a rich, moody glow. To add a little spooky texture, I pressed a piece of cheesecloth into black paint and lightly stamped it across the panel, creating web-like patches. A few splashes of gold paint gave the background just the right magical shimmer.

Once my background was complete, I removed the mask and brought this cutie to life with my Copic Markers. Her vibrant green hair, purple dress, and bright red shoes really pop against the rich background, making her the star of the show.

The sentiment “Less Toil, More Trouble” was the perfect finishing touch for this playful Halloween card.

This was such a fun card to put together, and I can’t wait to keep creating with this whimsical set!

Happy Haunting!

Sweet November Stamps ~ Scarecrow in Training!

Today I’m sharing a fun Fall scene featuring the “Scarecrow in Training #1” digital stamp from Sweet November Stamps. These two happy pumpkins fellas are just too cute not to bring to life on a card!

To set the scene, I combined a few other Sweet November Stamps digital elements: the rustic fence from the “Scene Builder: Pumpkin Patch”, a few scattered pumpkins, and the tall golden cornstalks from the “Something to Crow About: Scene Builder” set. Together, they made the perfect cozy Autumn backdrop.

I had a ball coloring everything up with my Copic Markers, then went in with Polychromos Pencils to add those finer details and textures. I love how the soft sky, warm wooden fence, and bright orange pumpkins all came together for a cheerful harvest look.

This sweet scarecrow card was extra special because it was sent off to my SNS PenPal for September! ✉️💌 The monthly PenPal exchange is such a fun way to share handmade kindness and connect with fellow cardmakers in the Sweet November Stamps community.

If you haven’t joined the SNS PenPal program yet, I highly encourage you to check it out—you’ll make new friends and get to spread crafty joy all over the world.

Sweet November Stamps ~ Autumn Wonder with the Fairwees

Today I’m sharing a magical autumn scene featuring the brand-new “Autumn Wonder Fairwees” clear stamp set from Sweet November Stamps!

These sweet little Fairwees are enjoying all the beauty that autumn has to offer—flying on their bird friend, sitting atop a mushroom, and surrounded by colorful falling leaves. All of the leaf images you see are included in this stamp set, making it perfect for building your own whimsical fall scenes.

To complete my card, I combined the Fairwees with the large mushroom image from the Harvest Wishes stamp set. I used my Copic airbrush to create that smooth, vibrant blue sky, while everything else is hand-colored with Copic Markers. I just love how it all came together to capture the magic of the season!

The Autumn Wonder Fairwees clear stamp set is available now in the Sweet November Stamps shop—don’t miss adding this enchanting set to your fall crafting stash! 🍁🧚

My Harvest Hop Cards 🌾

For today’s project, I created a rich Autumn card using the Sizzix “Pumpkin Duo” Dies and lots of inky layering!

• I began with a piece of purple cardstock as my base. To add texture and depth, I stamped a damask print and then layered on a subtle knit effect using The Crafter’s Workshop “Knitted Stitching” stencil in shades of purple ink. This gave the background a warm and cozy look.

• Next, I die cut the pumpkins from the Pumpkin Duo Dies using yellow and orange cardstock. I distressed them with a variety of Distress Oxide inks—Carved Pumpkin, Wild Honey, Ripe Persimmon, Crackling Campfire, and Gathered Twigs—to create that rustic, dimensional shading we love on Fall gourds.

• I added green cardstock stalks to the pumpkins and tucked them into my scene.

• To bring in a leafy element, I die cut the Catherine Pooler Designs “Falling Foliage Dies” from green and yellow cardstock and distressed them with coordinating Distress Oxide inks for extra texture.

• For a touch of whimsy, I stamped tiny stars from the Lavinia “Burst of Stars” stamp set in Black Soot ink.

• Finally, I finished the card with a copper-embossed “Autumn Blessings” sentiment and some stitched edging for that handmade touch.

Here’s a closer look at my finished project:

Sweet November Stamps ~ Don't Worry... it's Just Zoe the Zombie!

Today I’m sharing a card featuring the fabulous “Zoe the Zombie” clear stamp set from Sweet November Stamps!

I had so much fun bringing Zoe to (un)life with some gorgeously gory Copic Marker colors. Her pale green skin, big red eyes, and those cool kicks make her the perfect mix of spooky and sweet. To set the stage, I created a distressed burgundy red background and framed her with an ornate gold foil die cut for that touch of eerie elegance.

And who doesn’t love that cheeky sentiment? “Don’t worry, they only want those with brains.” It’s the perfect finishing touch to this creepy-cute design.

The entire Fall and Halloween release is now available in the Sweet November Stamps shop—so be sure to grab Zoe and her friends to add a little frightful fun to your craft table this season! 🧟‍♀️✨

Hope you're having a great week!

Sweet November Stamps ~ A Little Magic & a Little Boo!

Today I’m sharing two fun cards featuring brand new Sweet November Stamps clear stamp sets from the latest release!

Magnus the Wizard

First up, we have the wise and wonderful Magnus the Wizard surrounded by his adorable owl companions. I created the entire woodland scene by hand and brought it to life using Copic Markers. 

I just love how the glowing lantern and those sweet little owls give this magical wizard so much personality. And of course, the sentiment says it all – “Owl you need is a little magic.”

Bitty Boos

My second card features the spook-tacularly cute Bitty Boos clear stamp set! I decided to keep the ghosties light pink to give them a softer, whimsical look while creating a bold and vibrant pink background to really make them pop. 

To add more fun details, I stamped the sentiment and placed it up on foam adhesive for extra dimension and used the tiny star stamp from the Halloween Room Add-On set to add little twinkles all around. These cheerful ghosties are sure to bring smiles instead of scares!

The entire new Sweet November Stamps release is available now in the shop—perfect for adding a little magic or a little boo to your next project!

Happy shopping!
