Pumpkin Time with Suzy Plantamura

Posted by Suzy Plantamura | Sep 30, 2019 | Uncategorized

Hi friends! Today I have a card to share with you using a stamp set from the latest Hello Bluebird release called Pumpkin Time. Does anyone have this one yet? I love it because of the sentiments – the fonts used are so dang cute. Because I am also an illustrator, I really appreciate the quality of the HB drawings and how they mix different fonts together in their sentiments. I couldn’t resist using the new Oak Tree Scene Die with this cute little fox pushing the pumpkin cart. I die-cut it using Fabriano watercolor paper. I like this...

Hello Friends! Today I have a card to share with you using an oldie, but a goodie, Woodland Littles stamp set. This was one of the first stamps I bought when I started my Hello Bluebird obsession (and ended up getting ALL the sets!). I love the little images and wanted to use them in a creative way. I used a technique I use often I call “random stamping background”. I stamp all of the images over a background lining them up like a puzzle using my Misti. I used a light color of ink to stamp them so...

Hello Hello Bluebird blog readers! Today I have a card to share with you using the brand new Seaside Girls stamp set and die set. This is my favorite set from the new release because I live by the ocean and I have two girls and we went every day in the summer when they were small like this (they won’t be seen with me there now that they are teens!). For my card today, I colored the girls to resemble my two as a memory of our times together. To make this card, I started with a A2...

You Are TOAD-ALLY Awesome by Suzy Plantamura

Hi friends! I’m back to the blog with another card using the DARLING Fairy Garden stamp set and Garden Friends stamp set. These two stamps were definitely made to go together like peanut butter and jelly and they are my favorite HB stamps of all time! I started my slim-line card with some Distress Oxide Inks on a 8.5″ x 3.5″ panel to create a background. I stamped all of the little images from both stamp sets on white cardstock using a light color of ink for no-line stamping. I colored them all in with colored pencils which are...
