5 Days of Christmas Digi Release Day COUNTDOWN ... 3

... there are only 3 days left until we release LOTS and LOTS 

of new Christmas themed digital stamps at Fresh Brewed Designs. 

To get us all excited and in the Christmas mood, I am going to do a 

few count down posts! 

This first Christmas card features our sweet little rubber stamp:

Cutie Pie  Ice Skating

and the digital stamp:

Joy Christmas Trees

I was inspired by a few different challenges at SCS

Sketch Challenge #511

and

Ways to Use It #502: Emboss 2 ways (heat and dry)

I used a cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss my blue ice lake. 

I then sponged white pigment ink over the swirls and sprinkled Ranger embossing

powder in seafoam white over that. The edge of the ice is embossed with stampendous frantage shabby white embossing powder. The trim of her clothes was painted with Crystal Stickles. 

I used the JOY CHRISTMAS TREES digital stamp as my background paper. 

I used a pen and extended the line from the digi and added a few doodle circles to mimic

the snow already on the joy image. I then outlined the snow and trees with a light blue marker. 

MORE CHALLENGES

Tis The Season: pastel Christmas

Merry Monday: Non traditional colors

Oh for the love of PUMPKINS!!!

Happy Wednesday!

I had a sudden boost of mojo and decided to trash my kitchen. 

I didn't cook last night. It was our LONG day at dance. 

We are there from 4-8 PM on Tuesdays. 

I made subs. Yum!!!

SO - if anyone knows me I LOVE coffee and a CLEAN kitchen and living room... 

and bathrooms... I keep coming back and adding to my list. HAHAHA!!! 

I would prefer a clean house ... but that seems impossible. 

I take that back. It is clean, but cluttered and clothes never seem to make it back

to their 'homes'. They like sitting on dressers or in laundry baskets. lol. 

All of this leads to my kitchen. It is covered in little orange papers cut from the bottoms of

little orange circles used to create cute little paper pumpkins. 

I went a little overboard. I could probably make 100 little pumpkins with all I cut out :D 

They are just too cute and fun! 

Not only are little bits (and still big bits) of paper covering a large area of my kitchen table,

 but ink, stamps, glue, and black glitter are there too.

OH! and PUMPKINS! I have several different little pumpkins made. 

Some stamped with spiders. Some just inked. Some tall. Some small. I love them all! :-)

Another thing you may have guessed is that I had too much coffee this morning. 

I got up at 5 am to send my hubby to work, got the image I colored last night, 

cut her out and planned my card. 

I stopped by SCS and decided to use their sketch challenge for this week:

SC511 

And here she is:

My card featuring 

Cutie Pie Pumpkin Rubber Stamp

and some sweet paper pumpkins

OK, I am really loving my card. I had so much fun making this!

I haven't had time to get REALLY creative in my cards lately. 

I have been too busy. I enjoyed coloring her, adding the doodle dots, choosing

papers that I would normally NEVER put together, adding RIBBON!

I haven'd added ribbon to my cards in forever! and a sweet little brad. 

I may have to hoard this card for a while before I send it off ;) hehehe!!!

I know I sound crazy, but I did warn you that I made extra strong coffee this morning and

have had way too much. Or maybe I didn't warn you. I will have to go back and check. 

I may have just warned you in my mind! ;) BWAHAHAH!!!

OK, off I go!

I do hope you will play along with us in our PUMPKIN PATCH challenge at 

FRESHLY BREWED CHALLENGES. There are only 7 entries so far... and 

that just isn't right! I know you are all using pumpkins ;)

****Now for some Fresh Brewed News****

We have TWO new digi releases coming up!

and

Hope to see you there!

Have a very happy and blessed day,

On Cloud 9

I think I am higher than cloud 9 as a matter of fact :D! Speaking of cloud 9, why did we start saying that? a little lesson for us this morning:

According to the "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins," the phrase is based on U.S. Weather Service terminology. This theory holds that cloud types are numbered, and that "cloud nine" is the designation given to "cumulonimbus" clouds, the highest-flying clouds around, making them an apt metaphor for being "on top of the world."

When "you're on cloud nine" you feel wonderful !
Like nothing else is really very important.
This expression means that you are extremely happy, almost in heaven.
For example: You have been dating for 6 weeks and you are madly in love with him and he proposes to you and you are in static, or ''on cloud nine"
OR:
If you have been dating for 6 weeks and you are madly in love with her and propose to her and she accepts without hesitation, you are blisfull and elated or "on Cloud Nine".

OK so I am sharing this because of the last example they have given here... hmm. 6 weeks? How is that even an example. How many people DO that? I know that I did ;) lol... met my husband and was engaged only a month later. Just curious! 

OK, now to the card and reason for my feeling extremely happy. 

My twine came in yesterday!!! WOOT WOOT!!!

I am one of those people who get the old stuff. I get the old paper because it is the ones that are put on sale or  on clearance. I get old ribbon.. all of my stuff is old for that reason. lol! But I also get it because I love it and I wait because I know it will one day go on sale... but to have something NEW as soon as it comes out... that is a first for me! :D I was  able to take advantage of the special they had last week for the $8 spools of twine. I chose the Orchid, Flax and Cantaloupe because the blue was sold out already and my impulse buying button was flashing pretty hard. I am so glad I did though.

I created this card using the Twinery colors Cantaloupe and Orchid. The rubber stamp is Fresh Brewed Designs Cutie Pie in Clouds . She will be part of a SPECIAL ONE DAY DEAL FBD is having on February 6th. She will be on sale for $3.95 .. one day only or until sold out. If she is sold out, I will add a new stamp to replace her for that price until the end of the day!

more materials: The blue dot paper is my My Minds Eye bright dot stack, the pink is making memories small pink dots, the yellow is PTI 2008 bitty dot basics. I colored little cutie pie with prismacolor markers and decorated her with glossy accents and diamond stickles. The epoxy hearts are by little yellow bicycle.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a lovely Thursday!

Good Morning. 

The weather has been so weird here. One day it is cold and the next it is in the 70s. It looks like we will have a warm Christmas again this year reaching near 70 degrees.. but it is supposed to be rainy :(. We can't have it all, can we, lol!?! I won't complain. I can say that it does not FEEL like Christmas without the crisp cold wintery air. So whether it is freezing cold or nice and warm where you are, I do hope you have a very lovely and blessed Christmas with your family and friends.

As for Cutie Pie, She is happy to be in the chilly weather. 

She loves ice skating and playing in the snow!

I created this card using the Fresh Brewed Rubber STamp

Cutie Pie Ice Skating

I paired her with a pastel pink and blue combo. I tried to add a little warmth by using felt die cut embellishments and a little more sparkle by adding the glitter coated snowflake brad.

We have several digital stamp categories that are on sale until the end of the month,
so stop by the shop and get yours before the sale is off.

My Little Pumpkin

Good morning!

I have a card to share with you today using the current challenges going on at Freshly Brewed Challenges: MONTH LONG PRIZE CHALLENGE :Pumpkins and our weekly challenge Fancy Folds

I chose to use Cutie Pie Pumpkin for this card *she is on sale for this month only btw!*

My fancy fold is the Double Z fold found here at Splitcoast Stampers

Here is the front of the card:

 and here is the inside:

I had a lot of fum making this card. 

here is what I used:

 DCWV lemon stack paper for the outside and MME garden vignettes for the inside

I had some scrap burlap that I placed at the bottom of the card and some leaf ribbon that I just cut and randomly places around the burlap. I also had a pumpkin diecut that was sent to me years ago from a friend *Norma I think* that went perfectly with this card. (yes, I am a hoarder.) The ribbon is from The Scrapbook Cottage and I colored her in with prismacolor markers. 

Thank you for stopping by today! 

I hope you have a very blessed and happy Monday!

Have a {Super Soft and Sweet} Merry Christmas

Hello everyone!

Thanks for stopping by today!

We are having a fun challenge this week at Freshly Brewed Challenges and hope that you will be able to play along. Our challenge this week is Fancy Folds. 

Here is the card I came up with using the Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber Stamp

Cutie Pie Ice Skating *which is currently on sale!*

(caution: there are several pictures ahead :D)

First of all, I decided to make a felt pocket that could hold a tag or gift card for the recipient.

But also, at the same time, the little felt pocket can be removed and used for the very same thing. A gift tag / gift card holder, or little treat holding ornament. 

The little flower wreath decorated with beautiful pearls is hiding underneath the fun pocket.

The top of the wreath has a very secured button so that the felt pocket is easy to add and remove. 

but that does not equal a fancy fold right?

So here is the inside:

and the next panel

Cute right?

I had so much fun making this card. 

Here it is from a side view:

See, I told you there were lots of pictures!!! hehehe

But you see why I HAD To add them right?

materials include: 

pink felt, prismacolor markers, white flower soft, crystallz pearls, papertrey inc cardstock, ricrac pink, white lace, white ribbon: winter caravan, tiny prima flowers, hero arts clear stamps patterned paper: autumn leaves thrift store

well,  I wish it was a little cooler anyway. 

I am pretty sure it reached 90 degrees again today ..

but we are hopefully getting some cooler weather in the next few days

This card is a quick and simple little card I created using the sketch at I heart to stamp - I heart sketches.

Cutie Pie Ice Skating Rubber Stamp

I used atd cardstock stack for this entire card. I usually mix and match, but not this time :)

I used my snowflake cuttlebug embossing folder and a lacy circles nestability die. I took some tulip snow paint and traced around the inside circle of the die, although it is hard to see it good in this picture. 

I am off for some coffee and an early trip to bed. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

See you all tomorrow!!! :)

Here is a video of my little man singing about his recent tooth loss if you wish to see it :D
hehehehehe!!! 

Fairy Sweet

Good morning everyone! 

I am back today to share with you a cute little card I made using the

Fresh Brewed Designs rubber stamp: Cutie Pie Swinging. 

Doesn't she look like she is having a fun time swinging from the little clouds over a bed of lollipop shaped flowers?!?  Her wings and shoes and little lips were painted with Inspirations Paint: fairy dust. I LOVE this paint! It is so shimmery and dries SO quickly. I can paint my project, come back within just minutes and it is dry and ready to go! Just don't forget to rinse your paintbrush as soon as you are done :D.

 

We have already had a busy kick off to August at Fresh Brewed Designs!

I created this card with the following materials:

Strawberries are Sweet!

Good morning!

Yesterday my little girl took over my computer, ALL DAY!!! I literally think I went through withdrawals lol!!! ((No, all was not lost... I did survive)) While she was playing and creating her blog like mom *wink* and so on, I created this sweet little card to share with you all.

This was made using the Fresh Brewed Designs Cutie Pie Butterfly rubber stamp, ki memories Juicy Summer paper, MFT DieNamics crochet die, felt trim, SU sentiment, prismacolor markers, inspirations paint: fairy dust, PTI cardstock, 5x7 cuttlebug dots embossing folder, and the strawberry is from the Spellbinders fruit diecut set.

I really had fun making this card. I painted the oval with the fairy dust paint, it dries in a flash so with in minutes I was running this through the embossing plate. I actually like her green hair. She looks like a little strawberry fairy :) don't you agree?!? Hannah saw it from a distance and thought it was grey. She gave me one of those "oh... that's. ... cute?..." HAHAHA!!! THEN she came closer and saw it was a light muted green. Imagine her delight! HA!

I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.
Sending hugs and smiles!!!

YUP, it is time for a new challenge at Freshly Brewed Challenges. 

Can you guess what it is by looking at this card???

Give up?!?! 

We are challenging you to use 3 of something. ANYTHING!

I chose to use three clouds for this card. 

two clouds are cut out windows, the other is pieced between the other two

It really looks very pretty IRL. 

The Cosmo Cricut De Lovely patterned paper, the bazzil green cardstock with the swirly windy cb embossing folder, the MFT Die-Namics die cut from Simon Says Stamp and this little Angel Cake with Kite digi make the HOT HOT HOT Day we are having feel just a little less hot. I am really ready for some calm cooler days where we can run through a field of flowers and have fun :D Just like little Angel Cake.

This card is featuring the FBD rubber stamp: Cutie Pie Swinging

(these stamps are very low in quantity. We will stop selling unmounted stamps and  once they are sold, they will be no longer available!!!)

 

I used American craft paper, bazzil cardstock, MME dot paper, MFT Die-Namics die cut clouds, prismacolor markers, Making Memories flower paper for her dress, bazzil cardstock, PTI cardstock, clear dew drops, Copic Spica in red and gold, purple gel pen, and prismacolor markers.

Inspired by Sketches AND Wings!!!

 I am back with a few more cards for you tonight. This first one is featuring the FBD rubber stamp: Cutie Pie in Flowers. I used the Eat Sleep Stamp sketch (again) for this card. I kept this card pretty plain and simple and sweet. The border on the sides of the image are actually from a punch I have. I am not sure what the punch is, it is a small circle with a little circle in the middle. sort of like a fat doughnut (OH MAN NOW I WANT A DOUGHNUT!!!) Anyway ~ I cut these doughnuts in half and overlapped them down the sides of my image. I then took three different RAKed flowers, layered them and added a sentiment / brad in the middle of them. The image is colored with prismacolor markers, stickles, and blue inspirations paints. The paper is by K&Company.

For this second card I used PaperTrey Inc Black cardstock as my base. The pink is Bazzil textured card stock in which I used that same doughnut punch, made a stencil and painted on ink to create the deeper pink dots. I then doodled all around them to create my bg paper. I stamped the Hot off the Press butterfly in the center of the decorated circle and traced around it with a white gel pen. I minimally decorated the inside of the card to match. This card was also inspired by a sketch: Card Positioning Systems sketch to be exact:)

Thank you for stopping by tonight. I have a busy day tomorrow but hopefully will be able to whip something else up to share with you this week :D

See you soon!

You are my Sunshine!

Good Morning everyone!!!

I hope the sun is shining and today is a lovely day for you. We need rain here! My garden is not doing well, it has been almost a month since it rained last.

This week at Freshly Brewed Challenges we want you to put a little song in your heart and create something with a song theme. I appropriately chose the song You are My Sunshine. This song has many meanings and childhood memories attached to it for me and always makes me smile. I also add the rainbow, because in order to have a rainbow you need sun AND rain!!! :)

Cutie Pie in Clouds Rubber Stamp
Fairy Dust Inspirations Paint

This card is just a card base using white Papertrey Inc Cardstock.
I painted this rainbow with inks then added doodles and a handwritten sentiment. I painted over the rainbow with Fairy Dust Inspirations Paint to give it extra shimmer. I then colored, cut and popped Cutie Pie in Clouds on the side of the card. To fill in the void below the rainbow, I drew a small cloud to match Cutie Pie. Very simple, bright and happy little card, don't you think??

So, what are you waiting for? Create a song themed card and join us this week. You can read all the details AND see what songs inspired our DT by going HERE!

Have a beautiful and blessed day!
HUGS
Heather

**Poke**

The urban dictionary (don't ask how I even found it.. well, you can thank google!) says the word Cutie Pie means this:

• Someone you like a lot
• Someone who is pretty and makes you laugh and pokes you every once in a while.

Hahaha!!!! Now isn't that just CUTE ;)
lol!


Today I have a Cutie Pie Butterfly to share with you. I really have loved inking up these rubber stamps. It took me a while to get a good image, I was so stuck in the 'digi zone' ... but playing with these stamps the past few weeks has been good practice and I have been on a roll :)

She is colored using prismacolor premier markers.

smile, laugh love

I am stopping in with a quick hello. Everyone in my house is sick with a sinus infection and are starting meds in the morning. It would be tonight, but we had battles with the pharmacy, my dr could not see me and a few more bumps were added to the road today, but TOMORROW we are going to start our recovery process. I know that lots of my friends have been sick or down as well, so what better time than now to make a sunny happy card to remind them they are loved. Not only by me, but by our heavenly Father. He loves each one of us just so much. When I think of rainbows and sunshine, I think of God's promises. Of his love. Of all the beauty he creates for us. The cool breeze on a hot day, the sound of birds chirping, the pretty flowers blooming, the warm sunshine on our faces, the beautiful rainbow in the sky after a rain shower. All of them are created for us by our loving father. I have so much to thank him for and so much to praise him for, don't you?

This card was created using:
MME patterned dot paper
american craft cloud paper
multicolored trim/ribbon
white rickrack
Fresh Brewed Designs rubber stamp: Cutie Pie in Clouds

some random sentiment stamps from my stash.
