SNEAK PEEKS for our January Release

SNEAK PEEK TIME!

Get ready for some more fun this week  - We will be releasing TWO fun new sets this month and some NEW DIES too!

 Here is a little peek from each set - Any guesses on the themes of these new designs?

Reveals start Tomorrow, January 13th and
new products will be for sale on FRIDAY, January 15th!

You're my MANE squeeze!!

Lion Love...

Who's ready to start making Valentine cards? We will be releasing a couple of fun new love-themed sets later this week but I thought it would be fun to share this card today with one of my favorite animal love sets, Wild about Zoo! This set is SO fun for making valentine cards for friends of ALL ages!! For this card I used  the cute lion image and colored the lion with watercolors. Then I added the image onto a light green card base along with some fun heart and striped patterned papers.

I added on the "You're my MANE squeeze" sentiment, also from the Wild about Zoo stmap set, on a circle to make it pop! I also added a bit of bright green ribbon to finish it off! I chose to use non-traditonal Valentine colors for this card too - which makes it more versatile. I could use it for a love or anniversary card too! 

NEW Designs coming soon!

Make sure you stop back tomorrow - I'll be sharing some SNEEK PEEKS for our January Release!! You are going to LOVE them!!

Thanks Snow Much Card by Larissa Heskett

Beautiful Winter Thank you by Larissa!

Wow! Isn't the winter scene on this card by Larissa gorgeous? Larissa combined several of our favorite stamp sets to create this beautiful thank you card! The trees in the background from our popular Whispering Pines stamp set make the perfect backdrop for that adorable bear in the car from the Winston's Home for Christmas.  Then she added on the cute little sign with the "thanks SNOW much" sentiment from our Winter Tails stamp set! This would be a perfect thank you for a special Holiday gift, don't you think?

Thanks so much Larissa for inspiring us today! Please make sure to head over to Larissa's blog, Larissa Heskett Designs to see more details about her work and say hello to her today!

Hope Your Day Doesn't Bite Card by Lydia Evans

Sharky Greetings! 

Today I'm sharing this fun shark card by Lydia using our fun Shark Bites stamp set! I love how she used the lower part of the card to create a fun sea for the shark to pop out of - and the was she trimmed the cardstock is so clever! The sentiment "Hope your day doesn't BITE" is also from the Shark Bites stamp set and it is sure to put a smile on your face today!

Here's a video Lydia created showing you how she made this card:

Foxy Valentine Card by Stephanie Muzzulin

XOXO!!

Today we have a sweet fox card by Stephanie using our Sweetheart Tails stamp set!  Many of you probably know this adorable fox from our Fox Hollow stamp set that we released before the Holidays --  but did you know that cute fox first appeared in our Sweetheart Tails stamp set?  This cute stamp set has a bunch of cute woodland critters with Valentine greetings. I love that Stephanie kept her card simple, just adding the "xoxo" sentiment and some hearts above the fox. You could use this card for a Valentine or just to send warm fuzzies to someone you care about! Whatever the occasion, this card is sure to make the recipient smile! 

Thanks for sharing this love with us today, Stephanie! To see more of Stephanie's work you can visit her blog, Handmade Creations by Stephanie!

Happy Valentine's Day Card by Kimberly Rendino

Valentine Kitty Kisses!

Today I'm sharing this sweet Valentine kitty card by Kimberly! I love how she used the kissing kitties from our Newton's Christmas Cuddles stamp set to create a Valentine. Even though this set was released at Christmas, most of the images in it were designed so that they could be used for other occasions too - Birthdays, Valentines, Anniversaries - I love the versatility it has!  She also used the coordinating  Newton's Christmas Cuddles die set  to cut out those kitties! I really LOVE that pretty pink watercolor background too!

To create the custom sentiment, Kimberly used our Simply Seasonal stamp set. This is another very versatile set since it has a ton of holidays and seasons on it!

Thanks, Kimberly for the awesome card today! You can head over to her blog, Kimplete Kreativity to see more of Kimberly's fun creations!
