Halloween Dress Up-- a New Release at All Dressed Up Stamps

 It's new release day at All Dressed Up Stamps! There are 3 new releases, all available in the ADU Etsy Shop.  You'll find inspiration for all 3 new releases in the ADU Facebook group and on the ADU Challenge blog. 

I had the pleasure of being able to create with the Halloween Dress new release.

Isn't this image darling?  I love Halloween Dress!   I colored her with a combination of Copic and Olo markers. I think Halloween Dress is all ready for the spooky holiday!

The spiderweb papers in orange and purple on this card are by We Are 3 Digital Shop. They are the Spider Webs papers, printable in 8 colors. 

The scalloped edge die and stitched rectangle are from Pink & Main.  The cute witch hat and Boo! sentiment are from Crafter's Companion.  The purple gems are from Taylored Expressions. 

I hope you enjoy this new release as much as I do!  Remember, she's available in the ADU Etsy shop.

Little Squeak -- for All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello, and happy October!  I so love this time of year. The geese are gathering on the lakes by my house, the leaves are at their Autumn peak color, and the days are cool and crisp.  So lovely!

Today is the start of our new challenge in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group.  This month's theme is "use orange and/or Purple".  Oooo, fun!

I used the adorable ADU image Little Squeak  for my project this month.  You will find it, and many wonderful images that will fit this theme in the ADU Store. 

I colored Little Squeak with Copic markers, then set out to find orange & purple papers to fit the challenge theme.  I found the patterned papers in a stash from Crafter's Companion.  The shaped dies to make this mini slim card are from LDRS Creative.  The sentiment and card base are from Taylored Expressions. The purple and orange flowers are from Prima Marketing.  Little Squeak -- so adorable!

I hope you can join us this month for our 'purple orange' challenge in the ADU Facebook group. There's also another challenge each month on the ADU challenge blog.

Tractor Boy -- a New Release at All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello friends, and happy harvest season!  Today is one of the days each month when design team members feature this month's new releases.  I was privileged to be able to create with Tractor Boy, found in the All Dressed Up Shop.

I used Copic markers to color Tractor Boy:

The crops are being harvested here in the county I live in.  Yesterday, I saw lots of soy beans coming in.  The corn will be soon, too.  Tractor Boy and his animals look ready for the job.

After coloring Tractor Boy, I went searching for the perfect paper.  I found this at Pixel Scrapper.

I cut the image and paper with stitched square dies from my stash.  The sentiment was computer generated. The buttons were from my button jar. 

I hope you check out the other inspiration today (and everyday), that can be found in the ADU Facebook group or on the blog.

Daisy Fairy -- for All Dressed Up Stamps

 September 1 -- can you believe it?  Fall will soon be upon us, and I'm ready for the beautiful leaves turning, blue sky days, and cooler temperatures.

September 1 -- time for a new challenge in the Facebook All Dressed Up Stamps group.  The challenge runs all month, and this month's theme is 'Make it Feminine'.  The hardest part of the whole challenge for me was picking the feminine All Dressed Up image I wanted to color.  There are so, so many darling ones in the ADU Shop!!

After much deliberation, I chose Daisy Fairy as my girly image to create with:

Isn't Daisy Fairy darling? She seems so happy! I colored her with Copic markers, then cut her out with a stitched oval die in my collection. 

I cut the card base and background paper with my Silhouette.  I haven't turned it on in ages, so it needed to be used.  The pretty pink floral background paper is from We Are 3 Digital Shop. You'll find wonderful papers, printables, and sentiments in the We Are 3 Digital Shop. 

I hope you can join us this month for the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook challenge. I'd love to see what you create using the 'Make it Feminine' theme!

My Favorite Things -- for All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello, August!  Summer is going so fast, but it is August.  That means that a new challenge is starting today in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group. The challenge will run all month.  This month's theme is "My Favorite Things". Such a fun theme!  Remember, you have to use an All Dressed Up Stamps image. You'll find them here.

I thought the image Summer Ice Cream portrayed many of my favorite things: summer, dogs, denim, and ice cream!

Here's what I created with Summer Ice Cream.  

I colored Summer Ice Cream with Copic markers. It doesn't show up in the pictures, but the light blue paper is embossed with clouds.  It is an embossing folder from Pink & Main. The kraft paper frame is by Taylored Expressions, as is the sentiment and strip. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you can join us for the 'My Favorite Things' challenge!

Summer -- An All Dressed Up Stamps New Release

 Summer!  I love this season!  I also love that I get to share one of the new releases at All Dressed Up Stamps with you today. There are 3 new releases this month (all available in the ADU Etsy Shop), and they are all darling.  I'm sharing the NR entitled Summer.  Isn't she darling?

I like to rainbow all the things, so when I saw the "summer" letters, I saw rainbow.

I colored Summer with Copic markers, then fussy cut her out. All the dies &  patterned papers used are from Brutus Monroe. 

The talented ADU design team has plenty of inspiration to share about the July releases.  You can see them in the All Dressed Up Stamps challenge blog, and in the ADU Facebook Group. You'll also find challenges at both of these links.  

Thanks for stopping by today!

Perfect Day for a Walk -- for All Dressed Up Stamps

 Any day is the perfect day for a walk!  It's also the perfect day for a new challenge at All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook Group. The challenge starts today, July 1 and runs through July 31.  The theme this month is Anything You Want.  Woohoo!  Go for it! 

I have long wanted to color up this Perfect Walk image.  This challenge theme seemed like the perfect time to create with Perfect Walk!

I colored Perfect Walk with Copic markers.  I used some new dies I purchased from The Stamp Market.  They cut out and backed the image with an arch shape.  The arched shape stamp is also from The Stamp Market.  The fancy umbrella is a Spellbinders die, and the clouds are part of a Crafter's Companion set.  The background paper is from my stash, but is probably from Crafter's Companion.
