Sweet November Stamps ~ More Mermaids!!

 Happy Sunday!  Today I'm sharing the last of my MerMay from Sweet November Stamps.

My first card today features the adorable new "Merwees Set #3" clear stamp set.  I just had to pair 3 of the cute little gals with that adorable little dolphin image.

I love that I was able to bury them in the water!

And this little cutie is "Nautalie".  This image could be used a little merman OR a mermaid so I chose to make my card a little bit more masculine.

I had fun with this fun blue and green color scheme!

And last but not least, a shaker card that features the new "The Guppies" stamp set.

Aren't her purple locks fun?!?! 

And I love the pairing of purple and peach!?!

Thanks again for checking out all of my fun mermaid (and Mermen) creations from May!

Have a great weekend!

Sweet November Stamps ~ MerWee Shellebration

This weekend Sweet November Stamps has released a few more mer-cuties!  Come and celebrate the new "Merwee Shellebration"...

I created a simple scene featuring the "Minnie", the little octopus from the "Mya" set plus the additional "Merissa".  I also added the cute and punny sentiment before printing out the cute pairing.

Here's a little close up of my cuties...

I hope you take a peek at all the new digital fun images!

Have a great Sunday!

Sweet November Stamps ~ Lots of MERMAIDS!

Happy Saturday!  Today I'm sharing some of the fun cards I made using the newest Sweet November Stamps clear stamps release (plus a few new digis too).

We're gunna start with the newest digi and he's a looker!  LOL!  Check out the handsome "Mariner Sevenseas".  I paired him with the brand new "Cascade Everflow", another beautiful digi!

I needed a wedding card so I hand drew she a ring and a veil in her hair.  I wanted her to look like the little mermaid so I colored her so.

Next, I used the new clear stamp set, "Sea Birds".  Who doesn't love this freakin' adorable little flamingo?!?!  He's so cute! 

Here's a close up of cute feathery friend...

I also made a video on how I colored and created this whole card.  Check it out by clicking the image below...

Next, I used one of the beautiful mermaids from the "Salty but Sweet" stamp set. 

I had a ball colouring in this unique watery background with all kinds of light blue and aqua Copic Markers.

For the next card, I want to create a different style of card... less scene, more layers.  So I used the beautiful mermaid from the "Mermees Are Back" clear stamp set.

I love the look of her coral colored tail and the use of the scripty sentiment...

So that's only a few of the mermaid themed cards I made for the month of May.  I'll share some more tomorrow!!  Which one is your fav?

Until tomorrow,

StampNation ~ Extra Frosting

Today begins a new Weekend Challenge over at StampNation!

This new challenge is all about "sweet treats" and I went whole hog on creating a delicious cupcake birthday card.

I used lots of fun Catherine Pooler Designs products for today's card.

I began by creating my background using the cool "Gradient Diamond Stencil".  I used Limoncello, Tiki Torch, Oh Boy! and Something Borrowed inks to create the gradient of color.

Then I created my yummy cupcake.  I used the delicious "Extra Frosting" stamp set to create it.  I used all colors of inks for this: Limoncello, Tiki Torch, Lime Rickey, Oh Boy!, Something Borrowed, Samba, Buttercream, Sand Castle and Icing on the Cake inks.

For the sentiment, I used Icing on the Cake ink and the fun sentiment, also from the "Extra Frosting" stamp set.  I cut it out with the fun pinked edge die from the "A Cut Above Die".  It looks more whimsical on the corner that way!

I used a single red Copic Marker to add some detail shading to the cherry and polka dots to the cupcake liner.

Finally I added some fun leaves on the card.  These are from the "Fall Finds" stamp set.

For these leaves, I used Lime Rickey, Oh Boy! and Tiki Torch inks.  The blue ink intensifies that green to tone it down a bit and the orange ink just adds a little bit of interest to them.

Overall, an enjoyable card to make!  This card is already off to a fun, crafty friend.

I hope you'll come and join us!
