FBD January Rubber Stamp Release BLOG HOP!

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 there, 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!

When you see the new stamps you will understand

 just how hard it's been

for me to wait!

WAIT NO LONGER!!!

Here they are:

She Loves Lattes and Cherry Cupcake Cutie

For my post today, I chose to feature the new stamp:

CHERRY CUPCAKE CUTIE!

Isn't she adorable?  This stamp is going to be perfect for so many

of the little Cupcake Cutie birthday girls that I know!

As you can see,  I made a Cherry Cupcake Themed birthday card.

I simply couldn't resist!

She was so much fun to work with!

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.

Thank you so much for hopping with us this month!

I hope you have enjoyed your time here at my blog.

It is time for us to say goodbye and time for you to head over to my very lovely and 

talented friend Vanessa's

 blog to check out what she has prepared for you.

Have a very blessed and wonderful day!

Big Warm Hugs, Sheryl

FBD Month Long Prize Challenge - Anything Goes!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I hope that all of you enjoyed your holidays!

I enjoyed a wonderful Christmas!

It was so nice to spend some time with all of our loved ones

and count our many blessings.

I actually had to clean out my craft room before 

I could get in there 

to craft again!  

The holiday season was so very busy around here

and my room was filled with shipping boxes,

 wrapping paper, bows 

and anything else that needed to be tucked away!  

When I finally got in there, I had so much fun creating again!

Fresh Brewed Designs will now be
having one month long prize challenge.
(No more weekly challenges)
You will have the whole month to join in on the fun!
We will be sharing lots of fun and creative cards and projects
with all of you with special DT features on Wednesday's
and throughout the week!

This Month's Prize Challenge at

Fresh Brewed Designs!
is

ANYTHING GOES

I decided to make a

Diagonal Double Pocket Card

showcasing

Fresh Brewed Designs

CUTIE PIE ICE SKATING 

rubber stamp

I followed the directions on the tutorial and then I adhered the

double pocket card to the front of  a

6" x 4 1/2" card so that I could add a journal section to the inside.

I made this for a sweet little girl who's younger brother comes to my

preschool.  She is so very sweet and thoughtful and 

she is always surprising me with

pretty pictures and cards that she makes special for me!

I wanted to surprise her with something special and she loves

Ice Skating.  

I couldn't think of a more perfect image for her than the

adorable

Cutie Pie Ice Skating!

Recipe

Fresh Brewed Designs   Cutie Pie Ice Skating rubber stamp

colored with copics 

I used liquid pearls for the fur trim on her coat and skates.

I used crystal effects and Martha Stewart sugar on the wings.

I cut Cutie Pie out and used Stampin Up labels die cut to place her on.

The fun design paper is my new echo park  (Life Is Good)

The paper pack came with the fun stickers that I used on the tags

and the inside of my card.

I made the tags with Sizzix  Tags, scallop combo #2 die

The lacy heart is a Cheery Lynn Designs die cut

The snowflakes, pearls and rinestones are from Recollections

You will find lots of talent and DT inspiration 

when you pop on 

over to 

Freshly Brewed Challenge Blog!

We hope that you can join in on the fun!

Fussy and Fancy Tags and Banners Challenge!

Hello and Happy Friday!

I'm sure that all of you have been very busy little elves in 

preparation for the holidays!  

I myself am trying not to panic as I am more than a little behind!

We have a fun new challenge at

Fussy and Fancy 

for you to join!

TAGS & BANNERS

For my DT project I chose to make a 

pretty stocking tag and package topper!

I used the Stampin Up Christmas stocking die cut

and the snowman stamp is in their, "Jolly Old Saint Nick" stamp set.

The glitter cardstock, holly embellishment, bells, 

ribbon and DP are all from Stampin Up as well.

I colored the snowman with my copics and used

crystal effects on him along with Martha Stewart 

white sugar for the snow.
