There She Goes Sneak Peeks {Day Three}

A-tisket a-tasket a green and yellow basket…Melyssa has created the most darling Easter stamp set! This mini-set will be sure to please that egg-stra special person. The sentiment fonts are so whimsically fun and you’ll enjoy coloring these Easter eggs. This is a must have set.

Egg-stra Special is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 9 stamps and will sell for $7.00.

I think this might be my favorite TSG yet - SOOOOO stinkin' cute!!!  I'm not a huge Easter-card maker but I might be swayed to make a few more using this set.  If you only buy one set this release, make it this one!

For my card, I stamped and colored the main image and used the CR84FN Color Challenge along with the iSpy Sketches sketch from a couple weeks ago:

Paper: Wisteria Wonder, Basic Gray, Whisper White, scrap DSP  Ink: Versafine Onyx Black  Accessories: Copics, sewing machine, buttons, twine, grass die (TCP)

There She Goes Sneak Peek {Day Two}

Crayons, paint, canvas, and paint brushes are the tools of every great artist and Torico has created a set that will release our inner child. This set promises to bring out the artist in you. The darling line art in this set will having you pulling out all your favorite mediums and reconnecting to the “grown-up” artist that you are.

Every Child is a 4x6 set that includes a total of 14 stamps and will sell for $15.00.

I had grand ideas for this set but, unfortunately, couldn't make them happen - isn't that always the way?  My time was dwindling and I didn't have time to color one of these adorable images after trying to make my original idea work (picture color-coordinated twine coming out of the point of the crayons...in my head it worked perfectly!)  So, I will admit this was kind of a last-ditch effort that focuses on one of the fabulous sentiments in this set but kind of plays on the fun, whimsical point of the sentiment:

Paper: Whisper White, Taken With Teal, Gable Green (I think)  Accessories: Twine, buttons, Seeing Spots embossing folder

Birthdaybot is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 4 stamps and will sell for $7.00.

For my card I decided to use the fabulous bot image from Birthdaybots as well as one of the sentiments from Numbered Days.  I paper-pieced the present and had a bit of fun coloring the little dude:

Paper: Fly a Kite (MME), Tangerine Tango, Whisper White  Accessories: Buttons, twine, paper piercer, Nesties, Copics

A little peek at the Copics I used:

Perk Up! is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 36 stamps and will sell for $18.00.

OH MY GOODNESS!!  I {heart} this set - so many different ways to make it your own and really personalize it for the recipient. :)  I wanted to make a CAS card (practice makes perfect, right?) and I haven't EVER played along with CAS-ual Fridays so thought I'd give it a whirl.  This week's challenge is an ode to the penguin - use ONLY black and white.  NOTHING else (not even a speck!)  NO color?  How is that POSSIBLE?  Not one to give up before starting, I got to work and came up with something I quite like.  It took all I had to NOT fill up that white space at the top of the card....embracing the "less is more " mantra...

I ADORE this set - just wish it would have made it to my house in time so I could *really* play with it. :(  Nonetheless, I persevered and came up with something I love - who doesn't love a bit of houndstooth?? {heart}  I paper pieced the tree (love the stitching detail) and used a new 6x6 paper pad from Simple Stories called "25 Days of Christmas."
