Fresh Squeezed Stamps Farewell

Hey friends!  I'm up on the Fresh Squeezed Stamps Blog today with a fond farewell!  It's hard to believe four months has come and gone for my term here at Fresh Squeezed Stamps!  Time flies when you're having fun!

For my card today, I used my MOST FAVORITE Fresh Squeezed Stamps set, Close Your Ears: Deer with the "miss you" sentiment from Say Anything.  The deer head so fun and trendy and masculine...which is perfect for all occasions.

I used the awesome layout over at Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, #207!

I kept the card fairly simple with a pop of gold heat embossing to really show off this cool deer!  Some simple, graphical papers with masculine color scheme went into play, and a simple sentiment tag embellished with a button and ribbon knot.

A big shout out and thank you to the wonderful owners, Ryann and Shannon, and to all of my fabulous teamies!  I had a ball during my time at Fresh Squeezed Stamps!

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

I was inspired by the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #206, Simon Says Stamp: Get Krafty, and Dynamic Duos #89 to create this feminine birthday card today using Fresh Squeezed Stamps, Everyday Expressions and Friendly Folk!

The sentiment was inked up in a leafy green ink and stamped over some mint green patterned paper while the star was stamped three times and fussy cut to create a sparkle effect from the hand-rolled candle.  Lots of yummy birthday layers and textures went into play on my card today...plus a little splotchy ink and a few scattered Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

It's SPRING CLEANING over at Fresh Squeezed Stamps!  We are grabbing some of our "oldies, but goodies," dusting them off and putting them into action today!  

How adorable are those images and sentiment from Hootie Who?  After stamping the owl scene, I embellished the owl's belly with a punched heart and a few little Pretty Pink Posh Red Heart Confetti pieces!

Fresh Squeezed Stamps - When Hearts Collide

Welcome back for the second day of the Fresh Squeezed Stamps January Release!  I had a ball creating a collaged background of images (peeking from under the vellum) from the new stamp set, When Hearts Collide!  There are hearts of all shapes, sizes, and patterns!  You will have a ball with them, too!

The retrosketches  #96 was the basic layout of my card...great for creating that fun vellum overlay!

I used some fun patterned papers along with a jumbo button and fushia twine from Pretty Pink Posh!

You can't go wrong with FUN stamps, FUN paper, and FUN embellishments!
