Sunshiney card

I hope you are enjoying The Craft's Meow's previews so far. Today, we're featuring a stamp set designed by my friend Michelle called Baggin' Some Rays. It's so full of sunshiney goodness that will surely bring a smile to your face :-).

I made my card on a rainy day and it sure did bring the MIA sunshine that day into my craft corner, at least. The sun rays, circle and sentiment are from the Baggin' Some Rays set. I added a border of pennants from my It's a Banner Day set, also being released on July 1st.The papers are Echo Park's Dots and Stripes Candy Shoppe collection.

Make sure you go to the TCM blog for more inspiration and info for some yummy giveaways! Come back tomorrow for a blog hop featuring all July 1 release by The Craft's Meow!

HOPE

Welcome to day 3 of The Craft's Meow's July Release previews. Today we're featuring a set, It's a Banner Day, that coordinates with Spellbinders Banner Basics Three dies. And for the first time, I designed my own alpha stamps that fit inside some of the banner/pennant images. One of the best parts about this set is that you stamp and die cut ONCE for 4 pennants, unlike others where you stamp and die cut each pennant. As you can imagine, that could be time consuming, but no more with It's a Banner Day and Spellbinders Banner Basics Three. :-)

This is my favorite card of the ones I made for this release. It's very simple to make. I made a breast cancer awareness ribbon and added the word HOPE using the It's a Banner Day stamps. The scroll on the center bottom is from Timeless Tags set. The papers are from My Mind's Eye's Hazel.

Enjoy the Ride!

Welcome to day two of The Craft's Meow's July Release previews. We're featuring Life is a Carnival today. This is a huge set (6" x 8") that includes tons of fair/carnival-themed images and sentiments. I made the images a bit bigger so you can use them on scrapbook pages as well as on cards. I also made the images a little more elegant and vintage than typical for this theme. I hope you will like them :-).

I stamped 3 of the images in the set to match the colors of my papers (Echo Park Dots and Stripes Candy Shoppe).

Come back tomorrow for another set I illustrated that goes with Spellbinders dies that I also designed. :-)

Lovely Birds Previews

Welcome to day one of The Craft's Meow's July Release previews. Today we're showing you one of the sets I designed called Lovely Birds. I had so much fun drawing this set. It's unlike other stamps I've illustrated before, but it's nice for me to try new things. The bird bath was colored with Copics. The papers are My Mind's Eye's Hazel.

Sorry to make this short, but I cut the tip of my left middle finger that makes it hard to type. On a lighter note, my family and I are enjoying our visiting friends from the US. Today's the first day of English camp and we can't wait!

See you back here tomorrow with another set for TCM.

Hi, there!

I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog in a few days. Things are crazy busy here. We have 15 friends visiting from GA who arrived last night. It took days of prep and now we are getting ready for English camp next week. It'll be a lot of work, but oh so fun!

In the paper crafting area of my life, I will have pre-scheduled posts for the upcoming The Craft's Meow's July release, when 3 stamp sets I illustrated will be sold. Here are some sneak peeks of 2 of them:
Here's today's card that I made for this week's Card Patterns sketch. Our sponsor is Whimsy Doodles, who provided the cute penguin image below. The papers are October Afternoon and the sentiment is from The Craft's Meow's Just Sayin' set.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
