Hanna Stamps---New Releases & a Guy's Card!!!

This Riley is a new release from Hanna Stamps. I spent a lazy day yesterday, watching TV, relaxing and coloring lots and lots of images! We had a lot of snowfall last night, and school started late this morning due to bad road conditions, so you have no idea how much I envy this little guy, relaxing on the beach like he is!! To see more peeks of the newest Riley images, be sure to visit the Hanna Stamps member company forum on Splitcoaststampers!

My youngest son is a tractor fanatic, so he was thrilled to see that I was using this Riley image--in fact, I stamped some images for him, and we both colored for a while. Of course, according to my son, the tractor HAD to be green!! Lots of new, adorable Riley images are available--be sure to check out Hanna Stamps in the member companies forum on SCS. The DT is creating really adorable stuff with this lil' guy!

I thought this might make a cute invitation for a 'guy-night' of cards, munchies....and all that stuff. These images are from a new set by Hanna Stamps, called 'Mikey'. The detail in these images is amazing! (Mikey, himself, is pretty darn cute, too!)

Thanks for stopping by today.... I'm going to be back a little later this afternoon, with another entry. I've also got a few ideas to ramble about, that I'd like to share here with those of you that stop by.
Now.....off to scoop snow.........wait, shouldn't I stamp instead?!?!

New from Hanna Stamps!!!

This is a newly-released set, called 'My Best Friend' from Hanna Stamps. Other images in the scene come from two companion sets called 'Large Breed' and 'Small Breed'. It's SO nice to have some realistic-looking dog stamps that are still very cute! I had to add a little Yorkie into the scene as I have one....a little spitfire named Morgan. Be sure to stop by Hanna Stamps in the Member Companies forums on SCS for more details about these new sets. This is the first time I've made a tent-topper card. I believe the layout was created by Kirsten Dubosque ('ked' on Splitcoaststampers). I enjoyed using this layout and plan to use it often. I used rectangle and oval Nestabilities for the main image and sentiment panels. The stamp set has a teeny-tiny paw-print stamp that I think is adorable, so I trimmed several and added them to both panels. I added a ribbon blossom, and considered it done! Chocolate Chip is my favorite color CS to work with---it looks great with almost every color SU makes. This dotted DP from Paper Studio is a great match to Chocolate Chip, and it also comes with light blue dots. Now I just need to buy more!Thanks for looking---I hope you like this. Have a wonderful day, everyone! Enjoy the sunshine!
(**I'll be back a bit later today to post a few more creations made with the newest sets from Hanna Stamps.)

Pink & Pearls....MFT

This uses a new-release from My Favorite Things, called 'Punch a Bunch'. I've had these adhesive pearls for a while and keep forgetting to use them. They added a bit of softness to the card, and it was a nice change from using brads. I CASE'd a gorgeous creation by atomicbutterfly, called 'A Twist on Autumn', which can be seen here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...p;ppuser=78862. Kelly has an amazing gallery, and there's no doubt why she's 'Dirty'!! I also rarely use my Designer Label Punch, so I dusted it off and combined it with several other SU punches for the layer behind the sentiment. The rest of the card is pretty self-explanatory. Thanks for looking, and have a great day!!

Another MFTeaser.....Punch a Bunch in Green & Pink

This card is made with a new set, 'Punch a Bunch', that will be released tomorrow, Wednesday, March 5th. I used some of my Prima stash to make the flowers in the main image piece, which is also punched out using the Marvy Giga punch--super-easy and fast! The DP is by Crate Paper, and is called 'Babydoll'. This creation is inspired by Kelly (emmiestamps on SCS)---her gallery is full of absolutely gorgeous creations, and I stalk her often! Thanks for looking----I hope you like it!

MFTeaser......Ride 'Em Cowgirl!!!

This is a new mini-set, called 'Ride 'Em, Cowgirl!', which will be released this Wednesday, March 5th. I really like the images and sentiments, and had a lot of fun coloring this image. I used a bit of twine to make her lasso, then trimmed & her arm & popped it up on dimensionals to give the image a bit more depth (though the main image is already popped up on 4 layers--each separated by dimensionals already....I need to buy stock in the company that makes the dimensionals that I use!) The color of her dress appears a bit 'off' in the photo, it really does match the DP much more closely IRL.
Also, as a reminder......

More Cupcakes!!

I finally finished the last two pieces for a cupcake-themed gift set that I've put together. This stamp set is by Hero Arts, and I really like the images--SO much fun to color! I found the wood frame at Michael's (for a dollar) and used Mod Podge to adhere the DP. The journal is a dollar-store find, and the DP is adhered in the same way. I used a bunch of scraps from my stash to add a bunch poof to the journal, plus added a ribbon blossom to the frame. My niece, Emilee, is crazy about purple and pink, so this set is for her. I hope she likes it!Have a wonderful day, everyone, and thanks for looking!

Created by my 10-year-old son......

Gage, my 10-year-old son, loves to be in my stamp room with me while I'm creating, and he's always coming up with new ideas for cards for me to make (usually using images he's drawn himself, or printed from the internet). He created this scene from several different images by cutting and pasting just the 'right' parts to make the scene he wanted. He added the 'skid' marks himself. The cardstock colors, silver cord and 'pokey-things' (brads) :-) --were all his idea. He's a tender-hearted little guy, and he would love to hear what you think of his 'Batman Card'. If you could leave a comment just for him, it would mean a LOT to me. Thank you all SO much for making my youngest son's day by letting him know what you think of his first upload!!
