Baker Girl.

Hi all!

Long time, no see!! I've been busy trying to enjoy the last couple of months of my maternity leave so sorry for the lack of posting/ crafting. If you follow me on Instagram (@rinnesbliss), you know I've been keeping up with my Project Life, my coloring, and even some journaling.

Now, it's time to show you some inspiration on Time for Tea Designs' latest releases. This card features Baker Girl and it's for my God-daughter's birthday this past month. I used to love baking, but now am lacking the time. I should really pick it up again though.




Thought this paper was a lot of fun! And I used baker's twine in the middle.



Have a fab day!!

Vet Girl

Hello all!

Time for Tea Designs has great new releases! I got to work with "Vet Girl," and if you love animals, you have to get this cute digi stamp. Just look!!




I've paired her up with some fun Love, Elsie patterned papers (remember those?) and some wooden dog veneers from Color Cast Designs. I really like this card!



And isn't this stamp just darling? I know she is supposed to be a Vet, but her scrubs remind me of what I do as well!

Have a happy Sunday, y'all!! Don't forget to visit T4TD for more DT and new release fun and inspo!

Not your typical Fairy.

Happy Sunday, folks!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend so far! Here in California, the weather is mild and it rained for a short bit yesterday. No complaining here though as I know our friends on the East Coast and Midwest are experiencing mega chilly temperatures.

For my project today, I have a card for Time for Tea Designs' newest release. I've used Flower Fairy 1 - she's got a bit of shorter hair and I've used her for my little sister's birthday card.

Now, my l'il sis is not little at all -- of course, she's three to four inches taller than me and she's a full grown woman. But, y'know, I will always call her that :). I had to step up my game here as she is a graphic designer and has such a great eye for design.



Usually, my fairy cards are ultra-femme and has a lot of flowers, both of which are not to my sissy's liking. But I had to work with this image and had to stay true to the digital stamp's theme as well. Thought Amy Tangerine's scrapbooking lines were perfect. They still have foliage yet they're linear so I think my hip sis would approve.



Well, I better catch some Zzzz's before the little babe wakes up. Hope you get to visit the T4TD blog for more inspiration.

Thanks for visiting,

Rinne

Beautiful Bump.

Happy Sunday, everyone!!

My sis-in-law just had a birthday! She's pregnant and they are keep the gender a surprise so I decided to use Time for Tea Designs' Beautiful Bump digi.



She loves anything vintage so I used products that reflect that. I believe the toy embellishments are from Crate Paper. The honeycomb patterned paper is a freebie at Jo's blog (click here).



Don't forget that Jo is having a DT call!! More info on the T4TD blog!

Have a great rest of your weekend!!

October Review over at CCD!

Hi peeps!

I've got not one, not two....but THREE cards for you today! It's time for a review on the October Releases of C.C. Designs!

First is Rodney's Ride. Isn't he the cutest? Love him and his quirkiness! I paired him up with the equally cute and quirky line of Love, Elsie! Boy, was I hoarding this Christmas line! I think it's from 2006.



Because of the colors of the patterned paper, I chose this whimsical and colorful tree sticker by Jolee's as well!



What a fun Holiday so far, eh??

Next is the Bird image from the Vintage Winter stamp (you get three images!). What a darling birdie! I wanted this card to look a bit more classic so I used traditional Poinsetta stickers and papers. And of course, that gold embossed card stock too!





Then, last, but not least is the Holiday Penguins!



I can't get over how adorable they are!! Too cute!!



Have a great day! And remember to check out the store and the rest of the DT!

Toot-a-loo!!

Mini Sprites in the Cupboard!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Today is C.C. Designs' day to highlight the oh-so-cute stamps of Make It Crafty, and today I've got a card featuring one of the mini sprites!

Isn't she so pretty? She reminds me of The Littles, do you remember that cartoon? So I thought I'd pair her up with mason jars as she is so tiny. She's playing in the pantry here :). I thought these printables from Shanna Noel are just delightful with her! (I love everything SN does!).



Have a gorgeous day!!

Roberto's Kisses.

Happy Hump Day, peeps!!

It's time for C.C. Designs' preview of their new releases this month! Today, it's all about those Roberto's Rascals. This cute and hilarious stamp is called Roberto's Kisses, and it'll be available come October 2nd!



I just love love love this stamp. It's so adorable, and that cat's facial expression says it all, LOL!!!



I have not yet bought any new Christmas papers... these are all from the previous years. I've compiled my Holiday papers and stickers into one box, and it's so helpful picking out what I want and a good way to use up those scraps!

Anyway, I hope you visit the CCD blog to look at more stamps and creations!!

See you later, alligator!

So Berry Sweet!

Hello, folks!!

I've got a card to show you featuring Do Si Do Anya along with the Berry Sweet Daily Life Print & Cut kit from TGF!

I've made a card to showcase the kit and display the versatility of the elements -- make your own paper, your own embellishments, and sentiments too!

Make sure you view the other Design Team's blogs for more inspiration! I know you won't be disappointed!

Pollycraft Russell.

Hi everyone!!

Here's a card featuring a review on the September release of Pollycraft Russell over at C.C. Designs!

Isn't he cute? Reminds me so much of my boys!





Decided to go really simple this week. I've been getting inspired by the CAS cards on IG!

And the sentiment is by Suzy Plantamura - love her sentiment designs!

Have a great Hump Day!!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Milk Coffee!

I hope you get to join us! The contest/ blog hop will last two weeks -- until the 2nd of October. For those of you in the U.S.A., that is really October 1st because of the time difference.

Toot-a-loo!!

Honey and Latte Sue.

Hi there!!

Today, I'm doing reviews on two Roberto's Amigas stamps over at C.C. Designs: Honey and Latte Sue.





I personally love how these images look like they're in the 30s, don't you? They reflect my age and a whole lot of crafters out there, hee hee hee!
The cards are done up in Fall colors. I've been doing that a lot lately. Wishful thinking, I guess. It's still in the '80s here in California. I wish it'd turn a bit cooler already :).

See you folks!!

Ribbons and her ribbons and doilies.

Good Tuesday morning, folks!!

It's been awhile since I've played with Some Odd Girl stamps -- I've quite missed them!! Here's a card I created for one of my dear co-workers -- she has an upcoming wedding, and I was in charge of her group card. Believe me, I wanted to put some kind of plastic covering on the front of this for fear that it'll get wrinkled, or dirty, or ruined when my colleagues are signing it!

Gold is my new fave color, and I really like how this card came out. SOG's Ribbons is also so beautiful! And that gold foil doilie in the middle is also from SOG.

I colored the image first, and then looked up the current Facebook challenge. Wouldn't you know it? The theme is Trash your Stash - Use up your ribbon!! He he! So Ribbons will be the image for the ribbon challenge, and then I added some lace trim and lilac ribbon as well! Ties off the romantic feel, don't ya think (Some PUN intended, buwhahahaha)?



Till tomorrow, peeps!!

Taking me back to my clubbing days! :)

Hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday so far!! It is a weekend off for moi, and I'm so excited to be spending it with some family and friends. I even got some crafting time in, yay!!

Today's card features Time for Tea Design's Festival Girl. She is fun and carefree, and I wanted the card to reflect that!

Now, although I know what music festivals are all about, I haven't actually been to one. I have, however, gone to many concerts and clubs. I chose some awesome fantasy-themed Bam-Pop papers to accompany her. She's at a Katie Perry concert, or even a rave at the Mission side of San Francisco :).



There's lots of merriment and dancing, some drinking, and maybe a couple of fun stuffed animals being thrown around by the crowd, LOL! Tee-hee! Oh, to be young again!!

Have an awesome weekend! Toodles,

Colors of Fall.

Pssst!! Hello again!!

It's morning time on the other side of the world, where the company, Milk Coffee stamps, is located :). So the next challenge is here, and it's all about Autumn colors!!

I chose Dog Hug, and made the dog look like a golden retriever (my sis has one!). I could just picture these two frolicking in the forest and having a blast! Loving the rusts and greens and oranges in that paper!



Hope you get to join us on the challenge!!

Toodles!

Autumn's Mum.

Happy Hump Day, folks!

Today, my post is all about the review on the September releases of C.C. Designs (one of them anyway). Here's Swiss Pixie Autumn's Mum. Ironically, she's all about Fall, but all of the papers (except for the two cardstocks) are from Inspire Lovely's Summer Love kit that I got from Debee's Etsy.



I think the kit is pretty versatile, and so is this stamp!

See you all soon!

Pandamonium fam.

Hi all! I think this will be my very first post on Mama Elephant stamps! I have adored their clean and crisp style for a while now. And I was so excited when I got Pandamonium in the mail!

I would love to start doing more CAS cards, but for now, I used my layering style for these stamps to make one of my best friends a card! She just had a baby girl!



Can I just tell you that even if I love my Copics, it's refreshing not to have to use them on these stamps! :)

Thanks so much for visiting!!

Vintage School Girl.

Good evening, ladies and gents!

Milk Coffee is having a two week long challenge -- this time, it's all about back to school!

I really like the image Charlotte with a Frilly Umbrella, and so I decided to use her. She reminds me of the Jane Austen era (even though her skirt is short) and also the Downton Abbey show (one of my faves).



I added a bunch of vintage items and ephemera that were also somewhat school-related for that back to school feel!

See you all soon!!
