Caffeine Crazy Challenge #1

With a new year, brought new fresh ideas for Fresh Brewed Designs.  If you didn't know, there is no longer a weekly challenge, only a monthly prize challenge; however, on the 5th Wednesday of the month there will be a CAFFEINE CRAZY CHALLENGE which is a challenge at FBD where you only have 24 hours to participate.  Fun, right?  I think so!  The challenge for #1 is.... use a FBD image and the color red.  Hurry!  Join in on the fun!

Here is my card using a newly released Digi by FBD called Valentine Text (but, you know, could be used any time, not just VD:

Valentines...

Guess what?  Fun new Valentine/Love digis at Fresh Brewed Designs.  :)

I created a card using one the new digis called You've Captured My Heart.  I seriously hate spiders, but I just looooooooooove this little guy, and printed him out to create this card as soon as Heather sent it to me. 

I used Core'dnations cardstock, embossed with a SU! web folder and then lightly sanded to let the red show.  Cool, huh?  I colored the cute little spider with Copics and added a bit of dimensional glaze to the hearts. 

Go on over and check out the other new digi and see the fabulous cards the DT and guests have created to share with you. 

Cupcake Inspirations 195

Hey there!  A day late, but our computer is dead and we had to buy a new one.  I just hope, so please cross your fingers for me, that they can save my unsaved photos and digis.  I know, I know... I should haven't gotten behind in backing them up.... and truthfully, I don't think I've ever saved all my digis to disc and I have A LOT.  Ugh.  Anyway.... enough on my stupidity, I'm here to share the current Cupcake Inspiration Challenge 195 with you:

Valentine treats (ctmh)

A scrappy and all around crafty friend sent me a ctmh whooo's your valentine treat kit, and I had so much fun making them! The stamp set alone is super cute! Those added with stuff from my stash, and here are 6 Valentine treats ready to give out. I made one specifically for my ds' teacher, but otherwise, not sure who will be passing these out to yet. :)

 

Thanks Betsie! :)

FBD rubber release blog hop- day 3!

Welcome back to day 3 of the FBD rubber release blog hop. Today I have a gift card holder to present to you using the newly released stamp set "She loves lattes".....
I found the mug template free online.  It could have easily opened as a card except I had a blonde moment and did it backwards.  haha. This gift card holder works great, too. 

I hope you added the new stamps to your collection. Don't forget to post your creations to the main blogger page as we love to see what you do with your FBD images.  :)  OH and did you see the new felt embellishments?  ack!  so awesome!  Also check out the new for purchase newsletter:  so much fun and lots of value!   Please visit next month for another rubber stamp release:  you won't want to miss it!

Last week at Cupcake Inspirations, we had a theme challenge along with the photo inspiration; this week, we have a color challenge along with the photo inspiration. Here it is.....



Our sponsor this month is FRESH BREWED DESIGNS!

For my challenge card, using "pool, white, and chocolate", I created this card with 4 FBD digis:  Tommy Snow Ball,   Snowbuddy on Ice, Whistlin' snowflakes,  and Winter Wonderland sentiment.

After coloring, I covered the whole image  DP with a glue pad and applied glitter, then sprayed with hairspray to seal.

Welcome to the First FRESH BREWED DESIGNS Rubber Stamp Release and Blog Hop for 2013!

If you are just arriving to the hop, you will need to go back to the start. Please do a little skip over to the Freshly Brewed Challenges blog to get started. If you are arriving from Sheryl's blog, then you are right on track! We are so excited about all of the fun things we are getting to share with you in 2013. We have had our stamps for months, just WAITING for this day!

WAIT NO LONGER!!! Here they are: She Loves Lattes and Cherry Cupcake Cutie. For my post today, I chose to feature the new stamp: She Loves Lattes! Please click photo to enlarge and see more clearly. :)

Our stamps have gone through a little transformation this year. They are STILL on the DEEPLY ETCHED, thick, gorgeous, made in the USA red rubber ... but in designing the layout we took special care in making sure that we left a lot more room between the images. This means you get a cleaner looking cut out and have more room to trim around your stamp! We have added SENTIMENTS to some of our stamps this year! AND Our packing for the NEW stamps have changed as well: Here is a little preview for you.

As if that wasn't enough... We also have something else that is NEW to share with you!!! We have a NEWSLETTER now available for purchase. Stop by the shop and read more about it HERE.
