Enjoy the Summer -- for Crafty Sentiments

Great news!  Yesterday, as if by magic, Google chose to give me access to my account again, and therefore my original blog.  Woohoo!  Soon, I plan to move these posts over and use that one again.  It's where most people look for me and expect to find me.

Today, there is a new challenge at Crafty Sentiments blog.  The theme is 'summer'. Summer, to me, is spending time on the water, swimming, sailing, kayaking.  Just like this adorable girl, Primrose:

This Crafty Sentiments Designs rubber stamp is Primrose - Sailing Boat.  I colored her with Copic markers.

It's almost Independence Day here in the U.S., so I went with a patriotic theme with this card.  The star-shaped card can be found at the Silhouette Design Store. Papers for this card are from Pebbles - Americana 6x6 pad.  The blue crinkle ribbon is 3 Girl JAM -- from the Red, White, and Blue Bundle. The star confetti chipboard is from UmWow Studio. The sentiment is from Hot Off the Press. 

Join us this week at the Crafty Sentiments Challenge Blog for our Summer Challenge.  I'd love to see what you make! 

Little Polly's Collecting Flowers AND Treats -- for Crafty Sentiments

Today is day 4 of five days of New Releases at Crafty Sentiments Designs. You can see each day's releases, on the Crafty Sentiments Inspirations blog, beginning with Day 1, here.  All 5 days feature "Little Polly".  Today, I introduce rubber stamp, "Little Polly -- Collecting Flowers".

I stamped Little Polly - Collecting Flowers on Copic Blending Card, and colored her with Copic markers.  Then, I cut her out with 2 sizes of a Spellbinders die.  I adhered this to a treat bag from Close To My Heart.  The shimmer ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Little Polly - Collecting Flowers, is a joy to color and design with.  She is so sweet, and a simple image, so she doesn't take too long before she takes shape and looks great!

Please visit the Crafty Sentiments Inspirations Blog for more ideas on how to use this sweet rubber stamp, and come back tomorrow for the last day of June's New Releases. Wow!  What a great month!

Sweet Like You -- for Crafty Sentiments Designs

Happy Saturday, everyone!  Today is day 2 of the New Little Polly releases at Crafty Sentiments Designs. Today's little sweetheart, Little Polly -- I Love Cupcakes, seemed perfect for a birthday themed project:

I colored Little Polly -- I love Cupcakes with Copic markers.  Here's a close look...

I cut her out with 2 different sizes of Spellbinders circle dies.  The birthday sentiment is from Get Inky! Stamps.  The cupcake box was cut out on my Cricut Explore, using the Sweet Treat Boxes cartridge.

Little Polly -- a New Release for Crafty Sentiments

Crafty Sentiments Designs is having a big New Release the next few days.  I'll have 3 different project to share over the next several days.  You'll love these adorable rubber stamps!  They are all from the "Little Polly" release. Today, I'd like to introduce you to Little Polly -- Dear Friend.

Sweet Little Polly -- Dear Friend is colored with Copic markers, then mounted on a decorative treat box. The treat box was cut out on my Cricut Explore, using the Close To My Heart Artiste cartridge.  

All papers and sequins are also from Close To My Heart.  The tie dye ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM. 

My first blog got hacked a week ago.  It took a few days to get up and going again, and this one is still obviously very much under construction.  One of the posts I missed was for the Crafty Sentiments Challenge blog. The theme of the challenge this week is "Anything Goes."  Here's my card...

This card uses the Crafty Sentiments Designs rubber stamp, Annabel -- Mermaid's Hair.   She was colored with Copic markers. Every mermaid should have 2-toned hair! The ocean creature embellishments are from Close To My Heart.  The tag is a die cut, and the sentiment is computer generated.  I used a Close To My Heart scalloped edge border punch, and some luscious Timeless Twine.  I hope you join us this week for our "Anything Goes" challenge.  You have until Monday evening!
