S-U-INKIES! - AUGUST NEW RELEASE BLOG HOP

Time for more fun with S-U-INKIES from STORAGE UNITS, INK & MORE!  This month, they have three more single stamps from the new collections.

You Compute Me from the Doodle Bots Collection

Sprout from the Fairy Tales Collection

and

Thinking of You from the Friendly Forest Collection

These are such fun little stamps and you can't beat the price either!  To kick off the new release we're having another little blog hop.  There's a prize at the end (chosen randomly from all entries) for those who leave a comment on the blog hop post of each design team member - YOU CAN WIN ALL THREE OF THESE NEW STAMPS!  If you've just started with me, you should go back to the beginning.  Click HERE to go to LORETTA LOCK's blog, LOVE TO CREATE. 

Here are my cards:

I've said it before...I'm diggin' the little robot images.  I'm sort of collecting them whenever I see new stamps.  Not sure what I'll eventually do with them all but they're in my "have-to-have-them" category.  This little guy comes with the "you compute me" sentiment.  I found this awesome new paper pad at JoAnn's this week.  It's by DCWV and it's called the Mod-Retro Stack.  The designs are all so hip and cool.  This particular sheet was a full page of lined-type paper with the flourished edge and the "1,2,3" was printed in the corner.  It's hard to see here but all of the edge of the paper is clear raised embossed - most of the paper in the pad has some embossing!  I stamped the little bot on the right side of the paper and then stamped him again three more times without reinking.  Do you think it looks like movement?  That's what I was going for.  Anyway, I stamped him again and raised that cut-out image on pop dots.  It's a pretty simple card, as they go, for me.  1, 2, 3...you compute me!

This little "SPROUT" fairy goes along with last month's "Summer Fun" fairy.  Aren't they darling?  I love her little bandana/hat/thingy.  This card's pretty straight forward.  I created my own little "sprout" with some American Crafts ribbon.  All of the paper here is from My Little Shoebox - also from STORAGE UNITS, INK & MORE!  I added Dew Drops to the polka dots at the top of the patterned paper and various buttons to the scallops at the bottom.

 

This little "Thinking of You" stamp includes just what you see at the far right of my card - the one little tree with a birdie beneath.  I did some creative masking to create a little forest.  It's kind of a solemn card, isn't it.  I think it would work for a sympathy note.  The patterned paper used is from the La Creme pad from DCWV - all gorgeous and sumptuous papers!  All of the buttons are from SUINK.

Now, head off to Tammy Hershberger's blog to see what she's made using these same images!

Leigh all three of these cards are great but that robot one ROCKS. I love how you stamped him in the background, yes, it does look like movement. Great job on the sneak peeks.

OMGosh, the way you stamped the robot to look like he's moving is awesome! I love the bright dew drops and buttons with the Sprout, and those trees in shades of gray are fabulous! I just LOVE your designs, Leigh!

Love them all Leigh! I too am partial to Bots! Your thinking of you card with its muted hues and pop of bright red is very striking and absolutely lovely.

Did you hear the sharp intake of breath when I saw the Mono trees? That is a definite CASE for me. I love it. Thank you so much for this simple but incredibly elegant card.
