Sweet November Stamps ~ Sea Queens

We have some brand new digis coming to the Sweet November Stamps shop today!  Meet the Sea Queens!

Today I created a shaker easel card featuring the new mermaid Sea Queen, "Phthalo".

To begin, I printed out the beautiful "Phthalo" image, colored her up in Copic Markers and then fussy cut her out.

Then I created a frame and an inky, dot stencilled, water flicked background using CP inks. Then I glued our Sea Queen to the frame and backed it with some acetate to make it a shaker card and added some sparkly clear sequins.

I hope you check out all 4 of the amazing new Sea Queen digital images. 

Don't forget to participate in our MerMay event too...

Hope you have a fun a creative day!  Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

StampNation ~ Masculine May

Happy Friday!  Today there's a new Weekend Challenge over at StampNation.

This new challenge is called "Masculine May".... so let's make a masculine card.

I began with the sweet little Corgi puppy from the "More Peeking Pets" stamp set.  I stamped him in Macchiato ink and colored him with Copic Markers.  Then I die him with his coordinating die.  I even added a pair of cute glasses from the "Pet Specs Die" and Rouge ink.

I used the "Hipster" 6x6 paper pack for all my patterned papers today... so cute but masculine!

For the heart frame for our little pup, I used the "Nested Stitched Heart Dies" and popped some specs paper in the background.

For the fun birthday greeting, I used the cool "Be The Good Sentiments" stamp set with Rouge, Skylight and Juniper Mist inks. 

That rectangular piece is my favorite die, the "Scallops & Dots Dies".

Now, if you'd like to join us you too can become a member of StampNation.

I hope you have a fun and creative weekend!

Windows of Wonder Inspiration Hop

Happy National Scrapbooking Day everyone!  Happy Hop Day!

*Giveaway Alert* 

 

Today, we’re hopping along with @scrapnstampcanada’s Windows of Wonder Inspiration Hop. Join us for tons of wonderful inspiration where we use windows and card openings in fun ways. And as always there’s a chance to win a gift card to the shop!

For my window inspired card I began by die cutting a circle stitched window opening using the Picket Fence "Slimline Diecutting System Dies" through a piece of the beautiful Craft Consortium "Over the Rainbow" 6x6 papers.  I then die cut the fence die and the grass dies too to complete the circular scene. I then backed the window with some acetate, added some fun sparkly sequins to the blue paper  and then used some 3D foam adhesive to block off the circle to create a shaker card.

I stamped two of the sweet Sunny Studio "Chubby Bunny" images using Memento "Desert Sand" ink and colored them up using Copic Markers.  I fussy cut them out and added to either side of the shaker window.

I also die cut out the grass die again twice and fussy cut some grass sections out and added them to the front panel among the bunnies.

To finish it off I added a stamped sentiment from the Catherine Pooler "Mothers & Daughters Sentiment" stamp set using CP "Something Borrowed" ink plus a few yellow flower sequins from my stash!

Sweet November Stamps ~ MerMay has Begun!

 

MerMay has begun and Sweet November Stamps has already prepared in a big way!

MerMay is all about the MERMAID!

Come and check out all the amazing Mermaids found in the SNS shop... so many to choose from!

• Digital Stamps
• Clear Stamps 
  

To celebrate MerMay, I chose to use the super cute "Seashells and Sunshine" clear stamp set!

I stamped out all three of our little seashell adorned mermaids from the set and created a deep blue sea around them.

There's nothing more fun than adding the fun little details to their faces.  This time I added long eyelashes and freckles...

The sentiment on this card is from the "Little Moments" clear stamp set.

To create the bubbles, I used the Copic Colorless Blender to dot in some bubble shapes.

Now it's your turn!  You can participate in TWO ways this month; through Facebook and also through Instagram.
