Blog Hop for Moose Madness!!!

Welcome to our Blog Hop for our March Moose Madness release! We are glad you are here!  We have a lot in store for you tonight.

First - make SURE you visit each of our designer's blogs and leave a comment. You will automotically be entered to win yummy blog candy - your choice of a free stamp from our new release!!!! Each designer will be drawing one random comment and there will be 9 winners in all!

Second, we are releasing 6 new Riley Designs and re-releasing the brick wall and wood floor (very cool) and the clear word sets. The clear words will be a limited release and when they are gone, they are gone so hurry and get yours!

Finally, you can purchase your new Riley stamps TONIGHT! Woo Hoo!!!! Complete the blog hop and come on back to shop. Hey, you can hop-n-shop! Ha!

I "hop" you like the new release!

I thought Riley's new buddy deserved a ride! This new stamp is Easter Bunny Riley. As you will notice from the stamp, the bunny is actually popping out of the ground. I simply cut them out and repositioned the little guy! The corners were punched with a Fiskars punch, I used Nestabilities to cut out the ovals and a Kaisercraft brad secured my Prima Flowers.

Next up, let's give a cheer for Sophie!!!!!

Michelle P. from Stamper's, Ink made this especially for tonight's hop! Cheerleader Sophie is all decked out in Michelle's Highschool colors! She made the pom poms out of embroidery floss and cut the circles out with her Nesties!! I love it!

Enjoy the rest of the blog hop and your next stop is Cathy Edgar!

Moose Madness Sneak #3!!!

Hi Everyone! Hope you are enjoying our sneak peeks!

Remember, tonight at 9pm CST is the Moose Madness BLOG HOP!!! You have 8 chances to win blog candy just by commenting as you hop along! When you are finished, come on back to order your new Riley & Sophie stamps online!

For now - here is one of my favs for this release. I just imagined my favorite moose, standing outside my favorite gathering spot in KC (Johnny's Tavern - got the pic off the web) welcoming us in for my favorite beverage! Yes folks - I actually made this one myself! Hope you like it!

The brick wall is a re-release tomorrow. It is so simple to color in! Just take an E33 and go over the entire image. Then, use the chisel end of R59 to "flick" color in. Go back over the entire image with E33 blending as you go. Then, just low-light in between the bricks with E37.

Riley is cut out and pop-dotted up. I used Liquid Applique for the foam (he spilled a little) and Crystal Lacquer for the glass. \

Make sure you check out our Design Team's blogs - they have some adorable ideas for Riley!

Enjoy!!!! After all - It's Five O'Click Somewhere!!!

Sneak Peek for our New Release Week!

Sorry bloggers, I was sick yesterday and didn't get my post up for Monday. Sooooo, I will give you TWO today!

I am so excited about Moose Madness, especially since our two college teams for Kansas are #1 and #2!

May I introduce you to Rainy Day Riley?! I love this little guy - just bouncing along in the rain. This was a super simple Make & Take we had in our store last weekend.  All you do is use a Cuttlebug folder to emboss a white card. Use Spellbinders deckle rectangles and cut out three, one being white. Stamp Rainy Day Riley and use Copics to color in! Add ribbon and a button and you are done! Add Waterfall Stickles for the raindrops, and crystal lacquer to make the water look wet....

Next up - Cheerleader Sophie! So many of you have asked for a cheerleader and what better month to bring her out!

She is so cute! And soooo versitile! This is my little KSU Cheerleader. This card was made by Dolores Sanders who works at Stamper's, Ink. It is so very simple. The card is white, and layer a piece of purple patteren paper on top (or what ever color your school is.) Use Nesties to cut out two more pieces with scallop squares. Stamp Sophie on the white and color with Copics!........ ohhhh, I just realized, she needs a bow in her hair!

Please join along with us this week as we give you sneaks all week, and finally the new release on Thursday! Make susre you check out our other designers as they have WONDERFUL sneaks for you too!

It's a cupcake kind of day.......

Here is mine...... ok, Therese' actually designed it for Stamper's, Ink.! Once again - it's too darn cute not to share....... and it saves me time! Ha!  I hope you enjoy!

Cupcakes!!!!!

The non-edible kind!

DT Moose Mate Therese' Boyd actually made these. Oh how I would LOVE to take the credit! But all is fair in love and moose - so of course the credit is hers.......  I luv luv luv my Therese! I literally squeeled when she brought these in!

She plays with her Cricut a lot and this cupcake holder is from the Easter Limited Release cartridge. She rolled up some spa socks, and topped it off with a red pom pom. Simply add the perfect moose (Riley of COURSE!) and put it in a clear bag! Viola! A cupcake that will last!

Thanks Therese! Make sure you check out all our designer's websites today - you are sure to get some wonderful inspiration!
