Party Like Puffins

Good-bye 2021...Hello 2022!  

Happy New Year friends!

Our family celebrated the New Year like puffins...FREEZING COLD!  We've hit single digit temps and have almost 2 feet of snow.  It was perfect for staying in with bowls of hot soup and some fun card games with family that stopped by throughout the night.  I'd like to say I made it until midnight...but I'm old and that just doesn't happen these days.  We rang in the New Year with our East Coast friends and were in bed by 10:00!

Since I don't have any New Years stamps, I thought these cute little Party Puffins and the Create With Friends stamp sets would work out just fine!

I stamped, colored and fussy cut all three of the puffins, along with the Celebrate sentiment.  These were paired up with a couple Party Pattern DSP patterns, some sequins and a bit of twine...it's a party now!

I hope you are ready for a fresh start in the New Year and I'm praying that 2022 is a bit less uneventful than the past two years have been!

Happy Stamping!

Puffin Birthday Wishes ~ #HSSSC362

Whew!  We made our way through Monday and made it to Tuesday!  And Tuesday means it's time for an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge.  This week we have a fun sketch challenge for you to play along with. 

I'm still having some fun with the Party Puffins stamp set, along with a few other soon-to-be released products.  I absolutely love the Pattern Party DSP...especially since it is such a HUGE stack of paper.  48 pages of bright, colorful images on one side and fun black and white on the other side.

I sniped a few pieces of the multicolored stripes to peek out from a piece of Coastal Cabana card stock with some cute little birthday candles.

I stamped a yummy birthday cake on a piece of Basic White and colored it in shades of Pool Party and Granny Apple Green. I used the Layering Circles dies go along with the sketch, then fussy cut the puffin and added the same colors to the his party hat...so cute!

I also broke out the Tailored Made Tags to add a fun little Make a Wish sentiment.  You are going to love these dies!  I added my favorite Artistry Blooms sequins and a simple little white Bakers Twine bow.  Too cute!

Be sure to check out the rest of the design team creations and join along in the fun!

Happy Stamping! 

Party Puffins ~ Monday Montage

 

Hello and welcome to another marvelous Monday Montage Blog Hop!  Be sure to hit every stop along the way...you won't want to miss out on a single project!

My preorder arrived late last week and I just got around to unboxing and playing with some of my new goodies!  One of the must haves on my preorder list was the adorable Party Puffins.  These little guys are just the cutest!

I stamped couple Party Puffins in Memento, then brought them to life with a little Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight on their beaks and Pumpkin pie for their cute little feet.  And a Party Puffin isn't ready for a party without a party hat colored in shades of Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Pale Papaya.

Every party needs a cake, right?!?!  This tasty treat was colored in Pale Papaya with some Pool Party frosting, all topped with some Flirty Flamingo candles.  A couple strips of the awesome new hostess Pattern Party DSP, a heat embossed Happy Birthday on Pool Party and a few Artistry Blooms Sequins helped to complete the celebration!

After very little stamping in the past two weeks, these cute little guys were the perfect way to get my creativity flowing again!

Now it's time to hop on over to the next stop...you're going to love what you see!

Happy Stamping!
