STAMPtember Party

Hi peeps. It's that time of the year. It's finally here. Yep, yep.... Time to celebrate STAMPtember with Simon Says Stamp.

I am sure by now you 're familiar with this awesome event. It's like the most amazing celebration in card making. There will tons of inspiration going on, so I'll keep my post short & to the point.

For my card, I am playing with SSS Celebrate You set.

I simply stamp the martini several times, colored them with Copic and then covered it with liqui enamel. For the sentiment, to make it more festive I heat embossed it with WOW Black Glint embossing powder. This is what I call simple but fun card. ;) Who doesn't love colorful martinis, right?

And, please make sure you stop by Simon Says Stamp blog for more details on this awesome celebration and for special offer throughout the month.

Honey Bee Autumn Blessings Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to day 2 of Honey Bee Autumn Blessings blog hop. You should arrive here from Brenda Noelke blog and in case you miss any link, you can always find the complete hop list participants on  Honey Bee blog.

For this hop I used Grateful Heart, which is my favorite set from this release. And,boy, coloring this is what I called therapeutic coloring.

I stamped the heart and after that I just kind of like in the zen zone. It took  me a while to finish coloring this, but that's okay. After a busy day, sitting down and coloring this put me in calmer mind. Double  benefit. I get to make pretty card & free therapy. Hah!!

I know you have quite a few blog to hop to, so I am keeping my post short and sweet. Oh, and in case you missed it, I have made THIS card using the same set that I shared on my Instagram previously. I do share more cards on my Instagram, so if you'd like to, you can follow me there. :)

From here, please hop on over to my dear friend, the super talented Emily Midgett. Thank you all for stopping by here and may your weekend be an awesome one. Cheer....

The Ton Fall 2019 Release - Day 2

Hi all. Welcome to day 2 of The Ton's Fall 2019 Release. We are releasing 14 new photopolymer stamps and all of the new designs will be available for purchase on August 21st at 9am EST. New release orders will begin shipping on August 28th.

I know it's only August, but hey, it's never too early to start working on your Christmas cards. And, psst.... this year I'll be hosting the 10th annual Caring Hearts Card Drive (More info on that in October, so make sure you follow my blog so you won't miss the announcement). So, today's set are perfect to get you started on the Christmas projects.

Let me starts with the gorgeous Poinsettia Wreath.

As I started coloring this wreath, I just start shaking my head because again I tend to try non-traditional color combo. I don't know why, but before I do the traditional colors, I just like trying non-traditional for fun. I actually almost re-doing this card, but I ended up sticking with it. I mean, you don't always have to do Poinsettia in red and green, right?

Now, for my second card, I come a bit closer to the traditional color. Almost!! :) 

On this card, I used the Loose Poinsettia and paired it up with an older Poinsettia Garden Cling Background set. I do love it when new set can inspired me to use an older set.

I hope you love the new sets. Want more inspiration? Check out my teammates blog below.

The Ton Fall 2019 Release - Day 1

Hi peeps. We are celebrating The Ton's Fall 2019 Release with 14 new photopolymer stamps! All of the new designs will debut on August 20th and 21st. Everything will be available for purchase on August 21st at 9am EST. New release orders will begin shipping on August 26th.

For today, I am showcasing two sets. First is my favorite set from this release, called Transformation. After all, she made this set based on my request. I love how with Effie I can suggest something and she make it even better than I imagined. I really love how beautiful this set is.

Seriously, with this set you don't need to do much to make it shine. I simply colored it with Copic and finished by covering the image with shimmer marker. Coloring this image is so relaxing and am so happy with the way this card turned out. 

For my next card, I showcasing the beautiful Dahlia Close Up 2.

I usually do soft color, but for this one I decided to go with bold color. After I stamped the image, I watercolored it and let it dry. Once it dry, I added some white dots for details and die-cut the word hello from Peony Laurel dies set and layered it 4 times to make it stand out. Then I stamped "just a note" sentiment from Sweet Bouquet set and finished by adding some mix size dew drops.

So, what do you think? Gorgeous sets, rights? I hope you enjoy today's projects. Make sure you check out what the team has created. Thank you so much for swinging by here and see you tomorrow with more fun projects.

SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek Day 5

Hi peeps, and welcome to day 5 of our Summer 2019 Product Release! Today is the day!! Yay... all of the 17 NEW products we’re introducing will be available this afternoon starting at 6 PM EST in the SPD Store.

CLICK HERE for Day 3
CLICK HERE for Day 4

Today, I am showcasing the beautiful Waves stencil. I love, love, love this stencil. I did early sneak peek for this with my card from yesterday.

For today's card, I started by spraying one side of the stencil with Pixie Spray. Let it air for about a minute before placing the stencil on the card panel. Then on my work space, I mix some Glitz glitter gel with various color alcohol ink. I guess I didn't work fast enough, because by the time I was done, some of the gel already dried on the stencil and it cause some paper pulling when I lifted the stencil.

My wave result is not as crisp as I wanted, but I decided not to be too hard on myself and just continue using the panel instead of obsessing over the imperfection. It really is okay to let go!! :)

Next, I work on the sweet bear from Hey Summer that we introduced on day 3. Simpley colored him with Copic marker and adhere directly to the glittery wave. Finished by stamping the sentiment.

And, today, we're also introducing Cool Treat, which I will use on my project for SugarPea Mix It Up challenge (you'll see it next week on SPD blog). Even though, I am not showing the set, you sure could win it! How? Simply leave a comment here and also on SugarPea blog. Winners will be announced on Sunday, June 23rd on SPD blog.

SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek Day 3

Hi everyone and welcome to day 3 of SugarPea Sweet peek release week. We have 2 more days of sharing the 15 NEW products that will be available for purchase starting this Friday, June 21 at 6PM EST in the SPD Store.

Today we're introducing a beary sweet set that called Hey Summer. I just think the two bears in this set look so sweet & adorable.

For my mini card, I started by inking the Honeycomb Stencil with distress oxide inks. On purpose I don't ink up the whole background as I love the gradient look where the ink just seem to disappear. Next, I stamped, die cut and colored the bear. I want the bear to looks like he's holding the flower in his paw, so I cut a slit along the paw line. This way I can tuck in the flower. Finish by stamping the sentiment.

In case you're wondering, my mini card measurement is 3" x 4.25".  

Giveaway time! Would you like to win Hey Summer set? Make sure you check out SugarPea blog and leave a comment there and here as well. Also, below are the links to my teammates blog. Check them out and leave them some love as well. Every comment on each blog count as additional chance

The Ton May 2019 Release

Hi all and welcome to The Ton May's release. Effie has released 11 new stamps today along with coordinating cut files! In addition to new designs, we have some giveaways and a free gift with purchase. Read on for giveaway details and don' forget to head over to The Ton's blog for more free gift with purchase details.

For my first card, I am showcasing the beautiful Abstract Peonies and mix it up with Happy Florals.

There's just something about soft coloring flowers that often call my names. I mean, sometimes I started a card with the intention of using brighter, bolder color & still ended up up with soft coloring. Hah!! 

For this card I simply stamped all the flowers on a panel of cardstock and once I am happy with it simply layer it with a soft blue cardstock and finished by stamping sentiment and adhered some sequins.

Now, for my next card, I did successfully used bright colors. Yay! ;)

I stamped the Scenes Parisian Cafe and pair with it with an oldie but goodie City Girls: Retail Therapy set. I don't want the background to overwhelm the scene, so I just keep it black and white and only colored the girl & the shopping bags/boxes.

For the sentiment I used the birthday sentiment from Macarons set, another oldie set. I love it when I get to show older stamps some love. Make me feel better when they're actually being used.

GIVEAWAY
No release is complete without giveaway, right? We're giving away 3 stamps from our new release! Leave a comment on The Ton's blog and each participating design team member's blog to qualify to win one of three stamps. Comment period will close on the 28th and winners will be announced on The Ton's blog after.

Please note that all NEW RELEASE ORDERS WILL BEGIN SHIPPING ON MAY 31. So,  you have plenty of time to do your shopping list. :)
