SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek Day 4

Hi peeps, and welcome to Day 4 of our Spring Product Release! We're almost there! For our April release there are 16 NEW products that will be available for purchase starting tomorrow, April 26th at 6 PM EST in the SPD Store.

For today, we're introducing a sweet set that will inspire you to let your creativity sprout, bloom and grow. Introducing this darling springtime stamp set called Sprout Bloom Grow.

I ground my sweet dog that peeking from the flower pot on a tag created by using the Card Front Element Builder II die set. I just love the look of this round top tag. Then, surprise... LOL, yes I am still going strong playing with alcohol pearl ink. I used it to color the tag.

For the background I use the Stacked Honeycomb and arrange them on the background randomly and shaded them with Copic, just so they don't look so plain. I think the addition of some soft colors make a difference, don't you think?

This is such a fun & cute set. I love it and I hope you do, too.

SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek Day 1

Hi peeps! Welcome to day 1 of SugarPea Design sweet peek. We have loads of fun & cute sets to introduce on this release. We’re excited to finally able to share it with you all. Please join us over the next 5 days as the SugarPea Designers and I share Sweet Peeks for the 16 NEW products that will be available for purchase starting this Friday, April 26th at 6PM EST in the SPD Store.

Let’s get on with the project, shall we? For today,  I am playing with Hey Honey set (there are also Honeycomb Cover Plate & Stencil along with Stacked Honeycomb dies that complement this set perfectly).

At the moment I am going through alcohol ink phase, so that’s what I did for my background. I just love the glossy look on this background. It’s so shiny! :) Next, I stamped the bear twice, colored & fussy cut them. Granted there’s matching dies for this set but I wanted a cut that’s right on the line. Besides, I find fussy cut relaxing and this was an easy one.

I want to make the m as couple, so on one of the bear I simply added eye lashes. Hah... I love how pretty she looks. Simply adhere them to the card base. I did curl them a bit and added foam adhesive to the middle of the bears so it doesn’t look too flat. Finished by stamping the sentiment using Grateful set from previous release.

Now,  how would you like to win Hey Honey set? Check out SugarPea blog and leave a comment there.

Our team has some amazing and creative inspiration for you using the products featured here today. You can visit each of our designers’ blogs below for details on their projects. And while you’re there be sure to leave a sweet comment for them, giving you an extra entry to win today’s giveaway.

I sure hope you’re as excited as we are over this release. Thank you for stopping by here and may your week starts off wonderfully.  Happy Earth day!

While today I'm only showcasing Spring Peony, Happy Birthday and Radiant Background Stencil, I'll be sharing more projects using the new release goodies over the next few weeks. Make sure you follow my Instagram account HERE as I share more projects there than here.

To start, I use variety of Glitz Glitter gel to create the ombre glitter look. These gels are so easy to use & spread beautifully. Once it dry, I trimmed the panel and adhere it to the card base. Next, I stamped, colored and die cut the flower. Adhere it to the card with foam adhesive.

I also added some white dots with white gel pen to add interest to the flower. Finish by stamping & adhering the sentiment strip (sentiment from Happy Birthday set). There's already lots of glitters on this card, so I keep the rest of the card simple.

The Ton's Spring 2019 Release Blog Hop

Hi peeps! This weekend we are celebrating The Ton's Spring 2019 Release with 7 new designs! And, there are additional promotions with free gifts. Head over to The Ton's blog for more details.

Without further delay, let's get on with the projects right away, shall we?

Now, this first card using Wildflower Bouquet Builder is my favorite. I really love the way it turned out.

For the rainbow background, I created it using the alcohol pearl on yupo paper. I just love how pretty it look! At first, I was going to leave the flower black and white, but then I couldn't resist to color it. Hah... the power of color. :) For the sentiment, I used my favorite sentiment from previously released Wishful Wildflower. 

Next, a happy rainbow card using the happy Daisy Field set.

Again, I created the background using alcohol pearl inks and heat embossed with the Daisy Field set on it. For the sentiment, I used the hugs dies from Love & Hugs Word Plates dies set.

And, last but not least we're introducing this gorgeous Fantastic Feathers set.

This set might look complicated, but seriously, it's not. I was happily surprised at how quick I can lay everything together. Literally you could finish stamping the whole peacock in 5 minutes. And, since the feathers already so pretty, I feel like I don't need  much to complete this card. I simply stamp & heat embossed the sentiment. Add some shimmer with shimmer marker and that's it.

So, what do you think of these sets? Gorgeous, right? Now, let's talk about giveaway and free gift with purchase.

Giveaways - Three winners will receive a stamp set of choice from our new Spring 2019 release (excluding Fantastic Feathers). To qualify, please leave a comment on each blog or youtube video. Comment period will close on 4/10 at 6pm EST. Winners will be announced on the The Ton's blog after.

Simon Says Stamp Full Bloom Release

Hi peeps. I am popping in to share a set of trio that I made for Simon Says Stamp Fresh Bloom release. I get to play with Dog & Cat Dress Up set and as animal lover  this is totally right up my alley. :)

I decided to make a trio of mini cards and am super happy with the way these cards turned out.

For the background I started by blending in some distress oxide ink and then trim and emboss it with We R Memory Keepers embossing folders. I am a bit obsess with this embossing folder at the moment. If you see my cards on Instagram, you see I use them quite a bit lately.

Once the background done, I stamp, color and fussy cut them all and adhere to the panel. Sentiment is from SSS Tiny Words.

Now, this one below somehow make me think of my pug. Although, the tail need to be more curly to be a pug. Hah!

All the sets from this release is now available in store at Simon Says Stamp. I, myself is very curious and excited to see all the sets! Well peeps, that's all from me today. I'll be back on Friday for SugarPea Sweet 2 repeat blog hop. See you then. Cheers... :)

The Ton Washi Tape Release

Hi peeps!! The Ton is celebrating their first washi tape release with two new washi tapes! This is a small release but it's one that's close to Effie's heart because the designs are based off of her actual watercolor work.

I can tell you that I actually gasp when I first got them. They're so pretty with the rose gold foiling on some of the leaves. I am not kidding, I love it so much that I actually made these 2 cards the very same day I received the tapes. Let's just say I've been waiting to share these cards.

For both cards, I used the Pink Peonies washi tape.

For the 1st card, I started by stamping the Mini Heart Cling Background directly on my card base with Versarmark ink as I want to keep the background subtle. Next, I cover a panel of cardstock with Pink Peony washi tape and then die cut it with Monarch Pop Up Butterfly dies.

This dies is meant to create pop up butterflies for the inside of the card, but with a little trimming & adjustment you can easily use it for the front of the card. Basically, this card will need to be mailed in square envelope to keep the wings safe. :) Finished by stamping sentiment from Toned Squares set.

Next one is a simple & quick one. Well, both of them are actually pretty quick cards.

For this one, I adhere the washi tape to a panel of cardstock and trim it out at an angle. Then die cut the sentiment using Love & Hugs Word Plate Dies from white cardstock (3 times) and from foil cardstock. Adhere panel to the card base and layered the words so it pop out a bit. Finished by adding a strip of matching foil.

There are some free gifts with purchase promotions ongoing. Head over to The Ton Stamps' blog for more details.

Also, The Ton is currently have a 30% off non new release stamps and dies sale. The code is "BYEFEB30". You btter take advantage of this sale as they're only last for a limited time.

GIVEAWAYS: Win one of The Ton's new washi tapes! To enter, leave a comment on each blog. Effie will choose three winners and announce the winners on The Ton's blog by March 9. The comment period for this giveaway will close on March 8 at 7pm EST. 

Thank you all for joining us for our first ever washi tape release!
