SCACD New Release Time!!!!


Today is New Release day for Susana Loves Stamps !!!!  I hope you have been hopping along and enjoying all the creations so far.  You should have come from Dianne's Blog.  If not, please visit the SCACD Store Blog for a complete list of stops.

First up is another round of these FUN little pranksters the Oddly SweetCuriosities #5! With their universal appeal the Curiosities were just begging for another turn in the spotlight with a new release. These little guys are the perfect way to provoke a smile or a laugh. We're addicted, and from the popularity of the previous sets we know you will be too!  Please note each stamp comes with its' own sentiment stamp.

I am excited to share my personal favorite.  Spike!  I see him and it makes my heart happy.  I had even  more fun coloring him up and turning him into a card.


Spike has stickles added in assorted places and the balloons are covered in Diamond Glaze.  The background paper is from a Valentine line no longer available, but the other ones are on sale here.  The sentiment comes with Spike and is stamped directly on the background with red ink.  The corners are the Dies by SCACD Contempo Compass trimmed down to just the center star.

Susana Loves Stamps is also showcasing a fresh new line: the MechAnimals.  This line instantly stole my creative heart!  I am loving each and EVERY single image!!!  This edgy but endearing range of SteamPunk animals will lend themselves to all sorts of projects and styles and earn a place in your crafty hearts. Please note each stamp comes with its' own sentiment stamp.

I am SUPER excited to get to share Wise Owl.  First though, I want you to see the details in these stamps.  Just look at the clockworks that make up Wise Owl's eyes!!  WOWOWOWOW!



I could not resist creating with this wonderful image and it just went so perfectly with the Dies by SCACD Classic Timepiece and Alice's Clock Statement Corner.


The sentiment with this image is 'Take time to Spread you Wings'.  I love that.  The background paper has teeny tiny hearts on it and is part of the Webster's Pages Modern Romance collection.

Love Birds


Isn't this the cutest image?  I saw it at Sweet Pea Stamps and just had to have it.  It is drawn by Karen Middleton and is called Love Birds.  After coloring and cutting out I paired it with some paper from the Carta Bella So Noted collection and the fabulous Breezy Branches corner die from SCACD.

Forget Me Not






Rebecca Sinz has a serious of images named for different flowers at Sweet Pea Stamps.  This one is titled Forget Me Not and is part of Plate #242 or you can purchase it as a single in both rubber and digi format.  Once she was colored up, I paired her with some paper from the Basic Grey Wisteria collection and the Uncaged Bird die cut with the Dies by SCACD

Little Acorns, Big Dreams


This sweetie is Little Acorns, Big Dreams from the Fairy Dust Collection.  After coloring her up I added Diamond Stickles to her wings, Viva Decor Gloss Pen in Opaque on the frame and used paper from the Teresa Collins Stationary Noted.   I had the most fun creating those whimsical mushrooms though.

Those mushrooms are created by using THIS fabulous Die by SCACD!!!!  Yes, really!!!!


I used the Vintage Fountain die to cut red cardstock.  I backed the cut out with white cardstock and then cut the sections apart and flipped them over.


TA-DA!!  Whimsical mushrooms!!!

What can you create with the Dies by SCACD?  There are sooooooooooo many possibilities!!!

Pirate's Dream


This image by Joanne Schempp is titled Pirate's Dream.  Such fun elements to color.  I gave the waves foam some texture with Frosted Lace Stickles.  The script pattern paper reminded me of the writing on old style maps.

Starburst card



I have been seeing a lot of cards lately created with the starburst design.  Now I made this one, I completely understand why.  They are fun to make!!!  This is made using the Teresa Collins Now and Then  coordinating paper pack.  The sentiment is the free stamp with the full sheet of The Complete Blank Canvas Collection #2. I love this stamp. Sometimes I use the individual words and sometimes it all together like it is here.

Get Inky!!!!
