Let's Get Cozy -- New Release Day for All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello, fellow crafters!  Thanks for visiting my blog today.  There are new releases in the All All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop, and I am featuring one of them today.  I had a really fun time with this one!  

This is one of the fun fashionistas from Winter Walks. There are 3 gals in the set.  I wanted to combine one of them with one of the dogs from Winter Pups, an older set that I cherish.  Wendy was kind enough to combine the images for me so I could color them and have fun.  Thank you, Wendy!

I colored Winter Walks and Winter Pup with Copic markers and a few Olo markers.  I really, really need to refill my Copics.  I found a pad of wintery paper from Scrapbook.com and used that to mount my image, and created a mini slim card.  It measures 3.5 x 6.  The sentiment is an old stamp set from Spellbinders.  I finished the card off with 3 acrylic hearts from Concord & 9th. 

There is another new release this month, plus lots of other great images in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop.  Check out the shop, the Facebook group, and the blog for more inspiration! 

Gingerbread House -- a New Release for All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello, and welcome to my blog!  It's been awhile since I've had a new post.  Family obligations and health problems and kept me busy.  But, I'm back!  

Today, there are some new All Dressed Up Stamps images being showcased on the All Dressed Up Stamps blog and also in the ADU Facebook group.  I hope you check out what the talent designers have been creating. 

I had the pleasure of creating with 'Gingerbread House' this new release.  I had such fun!

I colored Gingerbread House with Copic markers, then used a set of stacking stitched dies from Pink & Main to cut out the image and back it.  I stenciled some ephemera with a set of stencils and dies from Pinkfresh Studios.  The sentiment, also from Pinkfresh, was heat embossed.  The background paper is from AMB Illustrations. 

I wanted to do something a little eye catching, so went with the rainbow theme.  I hope you like my Gingerbread House. You will find this release and 2 other new ones, along with many, many more in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop. 

Flamingo Splash -- a New Release at All Dressed Up Stamps

 It's time to feature a little new release inspiration for All Dressed Up Stamps. There are 3 new release each month, and this month, I had the fun of being able to design with the cute, cute Flamingo Splash:

I colored Flamingo Splash with Copic markers, then created some die cut for my card.  I thought she might enjoy a rough wave pool, so a created some stormy seas for her to ride through using a die set from Taylored Expressions and a stitched hill die from Close to My Heart that I used for a wave.  The bikini has been in my stash for many years.  I think it was a freebie in a magazine subscription.  Do they even have those anymore?  The sentiment is from Pink & Main. 

You'll find all the new releases in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop.  You'll find more inspiration in the ADU Facebook group and on the blog.  Check it all out! 

Beach Time -- A New Release for All Dressed Up Stamps

 It's the 22nd of the month, and it's my turn to showcase some New Release inspiration for All Dressed Up Stamps.  Every month, Wendy Burns releases 3 new images for our enjoyment.  This month's are all fantastic, of course, but Beach Time is perfect for July and the hot weather we've been having.  It's 90 here today with heat warnings to limit your time outdoors. 

I colored Beach Time with Copic markers.  I found the sentiment in a mermaid set from Newton's Nook.  The seashells and starfish are from a die set by Honey Bee Stamps. The designer background paper is digital and is by AMB Illustrations. 

Check out the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group to see the other new release inspiration and the All Dressed Up Stamps blog for even more great makes! 

Little Captain -- A New Release at All Dressed Up Stamps

 It's never too early to start teaching children respect, right?  That's what I thought of when I saw this new image from Wendy Burns at All Dressed Up Stamps.  It's one of 3 new releases this month, available in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop. 

Here's my take on Little Captain: 

I think this would be a darling "Just like Dad" image for Father's Day, too.

I colored Little Captain with a combination of Copic and Olo markers.  I desperately need to spend a day refilling my Copics, so I fill in with Olo markers where I need to.  

The designer papers are old, old, old.  I remembered I had some patriotic papers from long ago.  The company is Authentique.  Are they still around?  They are from my scrapbooking days.   I cut them out with some stitched dies from Taylored Expressions. The stitched star dies are from Pink & Main. 

You can see more great inspiration from all three cute releases in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group and on the All Dressed Up Challenge blog.  Check it out.  You'll be glad you did!

Little Pirate -- a New Release at All Dressed Up Stamps

 Don't you just love a good new release?  There's something very exciting about it. This month, at All Dressed Up Stamps, there are 3 wonderful new release images.  I had toe great fun of designing with Little Pirate. 

I colored Little Pirate with Copic markers, then fussy cut it out.  There is lots of detail with this image, and great possibilities if you like to build scenes.  

I found the sentiment at Taylored Expressions and thought it was rather fitting for the little pirate and his dog sailing the big seas. I made the high seas by using a die called Rainbow Bright, also from Taylored Expressions. 

There will be new release inspiration on the All Dressed Up Stamps Challenge blog today and also in the ADU FB group. Check it out, please!

Happy 2025! A New Release at All Dressed Up Stamps

 Here it is, the first card I created for the year fast approaching.  It's a new release from All Dressed Up Stamps.  Wendy Burns releases 3 images each month and the design team showcases them at various times throughout the month.  Today, I had the honor of creating with 'Happy 2025':

I colored 'Happy 2025' with Copic markers. I used 2 different hexagon dies from Taylored Expressions to cut her out and add the embossed details.  I then got out my circle dies to add some festive color and to create the round card base.  The Happy New Year sentiment is a rub on  from Hero Arts.  They have the best rub-ons I've ever used. 

There she is, wishing you an outstanding new year!  

Thanks for stopping by today.

 New releases -- who doesn't love them, right?  I look forward every month to the new release images at All Dressed Up Stamps.  Every month, Wendy releases 3 new images, and one is as wonderful as the next.  This month, I had the pleasure of creating with Star Pup.  It, and all of ADU's mages, are available in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop.

Here is Star Pup:

I colored Star Pup with Copic markers. After finishing the coloring, i used various sized dies to cut out the image and back it using mini slim layering dies from Taylored Expressions.  The plaid paper was in a Christmas pad by Crafter's Companion.  I stamped the sentiment directly on the image.  The sentiment is also by Taylored Expressions.

You can see the other great releases in the ADU Facebook group, and on the ADU Challenge Blog. Check both places for wonderful inspiration!

Autumn Fairy -- a new release at All Dressed Up Stamps

 Today is one of the days that New Releases are shared in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group and on the All Dressed Up Stamps challenge blog. There are 3 new releases this month.  You'll find them all in the ADU Etsy Shop. This month, I had the pleasure of creating with the digital image, Autumn Fairy:

This card is an unusual size for me.  It's 6x6 inches.  Here in the US, it costs extra to mail this size, so I usually stick to A2 or 5x7.  But, 6x6 worked best for my design.  

I colored Autumn Fairy with Copic markers, then used a set of dies I've had for years to cut her out and back her.  They are from a company that has long since closed their doors, but their dies that I own are still going strong. The squirrel die is another one I've had for years and no longer remember who it is by.  I bring it out every year to make a Fall card or 2.  The sentiment and backer die are from Taylored Expressions.  The background paper is from Brutus Monroe. 

If you like this card, check out what the other  design team members have created.  You'll find them on the ADU blog, and in the ADU Facebook group. There's still time to enter both challenges, too.

Wishing You Joy -- A New Release at All Dressed Up Stamps

 The 22nd of the month is the day I post some new release inspiration for All Dressed Up Stamps.  That is today!

I had the privilege of being able to create with the NR image, Bubbles, available in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop:

I colored Bubbles with Copic markers.  I stenciled a bubble background (by Taylored Expressions) onto the background paper.  I used a stitched circle die (Crafter's Companion) to cut out the Bubble image and mount it to the bubble background.  The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.  The butterfly die cut is probably my most used and loved die (Cheery Lynn).  I've had it for many years.  It was one of the first I purchased.
