Pumpkins and Candy Corn - Yum!


Hey!

So we're halfway through the week and halfway through the release countdown for the September release at The Craft's Meow!

The Craft's meow

We've peeked at Vintage Clocks, we've adored Lovely Ovals but we've not yet celebrated the season. No, not Christmas (you really think that I'm that well organised with my crafting?!) but my favourite season of them all, autumn!

Today we've got two super sweet sets up for sneaky peeks: 'Fall Blessings' and 'Fall with Fibi and Lilly'. Both sets are super cute and features sweet images with Halloween and Thanksgiving in mind.

For my first project I inked up 'Fall Blessings':

Give Thanks

I couldn't resist the lovely pumpkin in this set - it gave me the perfect excuse to sit and colour :)

Next up, 'Fall with Fibi and Lilly'

happy halloween
FYI: I added the lines around the candy corn to add some movement/fun to them :)

Although the set focuses on the characters, Fibi and Lilly, I decided to focus on the candy corn image and stamped it repeatedly across a strip of card. I do love me some candy corn - it first hit my taste buds a couple of years ago and although it's not super easy to get hold of over here, I definitely recommend it. Yum!

Now I've only featured a small element of each stamp set we're previewing today. Be sure to check out the rest of the TCM DT too of course!  

I dunno about you but I'm craving a sweet treat now! But before I dash to get a sweet fix, I'd better tell you how you could win one of these sets for yourself today. Simply leave a comment on the TCM Blog by 9pm PST tonight and a random winner will be selected for each set!

Thanks so much for visiting here today - I always appreciate your visits!

Catch ya later!

Lovely ovals (but I'm diggin' squares!)


Hey!

We're back for Day 2 of The Craft's Meow September release countdown!

The Craft's meow

Today's sneaky peek is of a set by Elizabeta Kushner called Lovely Ovals. These Ovals are not only lovely, but the set has some fab, smaller images perfect for a spot of pattern building:

Thank You
FYI: I purposely stamped the pattern in grey ink. This helps the black sentiment stand out and is within keeping of the soft, subtle blue tones.

This is a super mini-card in which I created a square pattern from the Lovely Ovals set. I'm thinking it woud be sweet to whip up a set of these in different colourways. My focal point uses a small stamp that I rotated 90 degrees and coloured with different shades of blue (intensifying towards the centre to draw your eye to the button). The sentiment is from the set too - I love that font!

Now if you wanna check out some seriously lovely ovals from this set, then be sure to check out projects from the rest of the TCM DT! Oooh and if you leave a comment on the TCM Blog by 9pm PST tonight, then you may just win this set for your own inky mitts! :)

That's all from me today but be sure to stop by tomorrow as we party on, TCM stylee....

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Catch ya later!

Long time no see...


Hey!

Happy Monday! Super duper happy here as we can finally celebrate a release countdown again at The Craft's Meow!

The Craft's Meow

Today we're giving you a sneaky peek of a gorgeous set by Nina. B called Vintage Clocks. Vintage Clocks may be vintage by name, but I chose to give those clocks a more modern spin for my project today:

Long Time...

From vintage to retro neon, this set will cater for all styles! :)

I'm dedicating this card to you (well, anyone who is stickin' around to read my posts still!) I'm so sorry I've been MIA recently - I could bore you with excuses but I won't as I'm sure you haven't come here to hear them. I'm just going to say I'm super duper busy with work and within my first two weeks back I'm already experiencing my first cold. Ugh! Fingers crossed the sniffles will pass and the work load will lessen - I'll be back when I can!

Anyways back to those lovely vintage clocks. Fancy winning the set for yourself? Then be sure to leave a comment on the TCM Blog by 9pm PST tonight! I also reckon you should check out the rest of the TCM DT too including Suzanne Bier as our Guest Designer!

Right - back to the honey and lemon...and work!

Thanks so much for still stopping by!

Catch ya later!
