SugarPea Designs – Sweet Peek Week Day 3

SugarPea Designs – Sweet Peek Week Day 3 published on 49 Comments on SugarPea Designs – Sweet Peek Week Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of the Sweet Peek Week from SugarPea Designs. My card today is also for Freshly Made Sketches #436 so I’m multitasking! We have a whole lot of HAPPY for you today. Two new stamp sets and coordinating die sets: Happy Little Trees and Happy Thoughts/Happy Word Die.

Since the moment I saw the design team peek at this set, I have known it would be a huge hit. I mean really….BOB ROSS!!! The funniest part was when my high schooler saw it and demanded that I make him a birthday card with it. So, I have dutifully complied.

I stamped all of the images in Momento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic. I even went to find videos of Bob to see what he wore and to see some paintings. I mimicked some of his work for the little painting. He always used such interesting sky colors. I used the Outdoor Scene Builder Stencil to create a bit of ground for the happy little tree and then built the rest of the scene. There is also fabulous sentiment set today! Since I was trying to follow the sketch, I could not make it work but I REALLY wanted to use “Wishing you lots of Happy”. It will be done on another card for sure!

Welcome back for day 2 of the Sweet Peek Week from SugarPea Designs. Today we are showing you the Cottontail Cuties Stamp Set and Dies plus the Outdoor Scene Builder Stencil.

I colored the adorable elements from the set using Copic markers, cut them out with the coordinating dies and then set to building my scene. I started with the SugarCut Large Striped CoverPlate Die. After cutting it out of white card stock, I used the new Outdoor Scene Builder Stencil to create the grass and the clouds. Then all I had to do was add the pieces. Oh wow, this is fun! And the sentiments in the set. Don’t even get me going on those. They have awesome puns!

Welcome to day 1 of the SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek Week! This is my first release as a designer with SugarPea Designs and I’m just over the moon about the new products I get to share. We are featuring the Piece of Cake 3D Box Dies today. There is also a GIVEAWAY featured at the bottom of the post.

First of all, this fun product really does create a piece of cake! I chose to make mine vanilla with chocolate and raspberry. Because I LOVE this flavor of cake! Beyond the general cuteness of the cake, the versatility of the dies in the set makes this a standout.

I love the ability to stand things up on the top of the cake. I chose the layering hearts but there are stars and candles and other fun details too.

I thought the option to have a see through section on the top scallop was brilliant too. I used it to show some chocolate “frosting” but you could easily make it a peekaboo window into the contents.

Trinity Stamps Guest Designer #2

Back today with another card as the Trinity Stamps May Guest Designer. Today I have one of everyone’s favorites – a shaker card!  

I love the delicate little flowers in the Hopeful Flowers Stamp Set.  I stamped the curved spray and some of the little flowers and colored with Copic Markers.  I cut them out with the Hopeful Flowers Coordinating Die Set.  I cut a circle from some white card stock and blended on some yellow ink, then stamped the sentiment from the Thank You Senti-mini Stamp Set.

Inside the circle, I created a shaker with by blending on more ink on a background panel and then adding the Glass Slipper Confetti Mix.  If I can stop shaking it myself, I just know this will be fun to send to a friend.  Let’s face it, shaker cards are always a sure hit!

It was such fun guesting with Trinity Stamps this month and I’m grateful they had me along! I’ll be back next week with tons of sneak peeks from the Sugar Pea Designs upcoming release. See you then!

Hi everyone! Sorry I missed you last week. I think like everyone else, I’m on a roller coaster. To be honest, I have not flown in over 6 weeks which saddens me greatly. But I know I’m not alone in having an industry that is full of the unknown. In theory that means I have more time to create but last week the mojo just flew away. But I’m back to creating this week and hope to have lots to share with you over the upcoming days. For today, it is Freshly Made Sketches. Our incredible Kim Singdahlsen is the sketch designer and she has a clever one for us.

I was inspired to use the Somewhere Kit by Erin Lee Creative today. Erin was waiting for a few backordered items to come in and now she is able to ship these kits again! Get them while you can! I thought this sketch was perfect for showing off the rainbow background and then adding a few strips of color to convey a rainbow. Versamark Ink on the Desert Storm card stock is subtle but really pretty. And it allowed me to add a sentiment easily. The sentiment is one of the stamps in the kit. They are all fabulous! In truth, though, this one speaks loudly to me. We need as many rainbows as we can get breaking through the clouds.

I hope you enjoy this and will play along with us too. Thanks for all you do and I very much appreciate your kind words. I’ll see you again on Friday. Until then, have a great rest of your week.

Happy Friday to you! I hope this week has been okay for you all. As we all go through this process, I worry for all of my friends. I hope that as we continue to distance as needed that we don’t isolate. I continue to be inspired by things that are a) appropriate for my attention span and b) makable in numbers. With that in mind, I created today’s card as a guest for Trinity Stamps.

I chose a rainbow of Comic markers and just played with color. Amazing how fun it is to create rainbows in all the things! And this hits my attention span time frame with all the school/distraction/inability to focus.

This stamp set is called “So Appreciative” and is from their latest release. It has a matching die and they are fantastic! And really, there is pretty much no one that doesn’t like to hear that they are appreciated! Hop on over to see all the wonderful products they have. They are super sweet and they will the thrilled to see you!

Thanks for stopping in today! See you again soon!

Happy Wednesday! Ready for the next great sketch from Freshly Made Sketches? Lucky you because the wonderful Jen Mitchell designed a fabulous one.

I pulled out the Summer Sketches stamp set from The Greetery. Thought it was perfect to add over an ink splatter. I inked it up using Altenew inks in pretty spring colors. I added the Beautiful die, also from The Greetery, to finish the sketch.

Thanks for stopping in today. Hope you will come over and play along. We love seeing all the beautiful creations in the gallery.

Spellbinders – Jane Davenport’s Fairytale Fox

Spellbinders – Jane Davenport’s Fairytale Fox published on 1 Comment on Spellbinders – Jane Davenport’s Fairytale Fox

Today I’m sharing a brand new stamp set from Spellbinder’s Whimsical and Wild Collection by Jane Davenport. If you are familiar with the Jane Davenport style of art, it is beautifully textured and rich with color. The Fairytale Fox set became my focus for two cards that are exactly the same and yet totally different.

I stamped the images in Versafine Clair ink onto multimedia paper. I was inspired by Jane’s color palettes and just simply splattered watercolor paints over the paper. I thought it was fun and, well, whimsical.

Using the same setup that I had on my MISTI, I stamped again on a rougher watercolor paper. This time I played with adding more strategic color and then colored the background too. I added some teal, gold and pearl splatters for a bit more detail.

The whole Whimsical and Wild collection can be found at Spellbinders and you’ll want to see all the fun and fantastic images. Thanks for stopping in today. Back tomorrow with the latest from Freshly Made Sketches. See you soon!

SugarPea Designs – Guest Week 4

I cannot believe that a whole month has gone by as a guest designer for SugarPea Designs. It has been such a joy to work with this company!

You know by now that I have long sung the praises of stencils.  I love them!  They are such an economical addition to your craft room and they can do so much to add texture and detail to your projects.  Today, I used the Leaf Canopy Stencil in the traditional way.  I put the stencil down on Bristol Smooth paper and brushed on Distress Ink in Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn.

Not sure how you feel about it, but one of the happiest moments in crafting for me is pulling away the stencil.  Kind of like a big reveal!  The detail of this stencil really makes for a pretty base so I decided to let it be the star.  I chose the SugarCut Grateful Die as my sentiment.  I inked up a scrap of the Bristol Smooth with the same colors in a gradient and then cut it out with the die.  To get a bit more dimension, I cut the word three more times from green card stock and the layered them all together to attach to the card.

SugarPea Designs has lots of pretty stencils! Again, please remember with the stock of so many of these companies that they are limited by their own supply chains and access to warehouses. Shop with them and be patient as they work to get their beautiful products to you. It is worth the wait to support such fantastic people! Thanks so much for stopping in today. So glad to see you!

Three posts in a row! Don’t faint! It has been fun to be able to share different things with you and today I’m back to my standard Wednesday with Freshly Made Sketches. I am the sketch designer this week.

I started coloring these images over the weekend (and shared on Instagram) from the new Superhero Scrubs stamp set by Erin Lee Creative. Erin’s husband is one of these superheroes so the set is near and dear to her! I was really hoping that I could make them work for my sketch this week and I love how they turned out. I stamped them onto XPress-It Copic Coloring Paper. This paper is made just for Copic and it makes blending easy. I fussy cut them out and then went to work on the rest of the card. For the top, I decided to use the Tumbling Hearts Stencil from Newton’s Nook Designs for textured embossing. It is really easy with the right sandwich. I often say that stencils are a cost effective workhorse in your crafting and this is an example why. I stamped the bottom portion with a sentiment from the same stamp set. To add extra dimension, I glued the red card stock to the base and then popped up the white pieces. Red sequins seemed like a good addition so on they went.

The design team has created all kinds of wonderful takes on the sketch. What amazing talent they have! Hope you will join in and share with us too. Thanks for stopping by today. See you soon!
