The Sweetest Day! Final Reveal

Today you get to see the last stamp in Stacey Yacula's The Sweetest Day!collection.  I am going to say that this is pretty much my favorite stamp of the whole collection.  Peep is a close runner up for me but there is something that I really love about Poppy.

Joy's card just makes you smile (then again, they all will).  The coloring and use of pattern papers makes this such a vibrant and cheery card.

stamps used:  Poppy & The Sweetest Day Sentiment Set

 

Jennifer H. made a darling party invitation.  This hit a soft spot for me because I used to make similar party invitations for my daughter.  Now that she is a teenager there hasn't been much need for cute invites like this.  I love the polka dots on the flag and the cross hatch design on the balloon.

stamps used:  Poppy & Balloon

 

I have another card from guest designer Paula Williamson.  Poppy is adorable flying the kite.  How cute is the little "hello" that Paula added to the flag.

Dorcas Perkin's is also back with another card for this reveal.  I had asked Dorcas to be a guest designer because of her incredible colored pencil work.  To my delight she did a watercolor card that is just as incredible.

Cherry put together another card in her signature shabby style.  I really enjoyed seeing the creations she came up with using these stamps since her style is so different.

Guest designer Angie Hagist's card shows you a clean and simple style for creating a card with Poppy.  She used minimal coloring and added some fun diecut elements to create her scene.  The striped pattern paper for the flag and the little strings is a cute touch.

The last card for today is from our last guest designer.  Kathy Racoosin created this  wonderful card with Poppy.  Poppy looks fabulous covered in glitter from head to toe.  I also like the dimension the card has with the Sunny Blooms in the background against the black.

This wraps up the reveal of The Sweetest Day! stamp collection.  I do have many more cards that I will be sharing on my blog.  The stamps will be available to purchase tomorrow, April 17th. 

A big thank you to all the designers who created these fantastic cards for the reveal.   It was a pleasure having all the guest designers join us.  Everyone did such an amazing job! 

I also want to thank you for the kind comments posted on all the blogs.  In appreciation I will have one more giveaway on my blog.  It's a goodie...the complete The Sweetest Day! collection will go to one lucky random winner.  Please leave a comment letting me know which was your favorite card and why from the reveal.  I know there are so many good ones and it will be tough to choose.  This is a quick giveaway...you only have until 11:59 est tonight Monday April 16th to leave your comment.

One more...I especially want to thank Stacey for trusting me to turn her wonderful creations into rubber.  These illustrations are her heart and soul.  I know it was a big leap for her.  Stacey, I hope you enjoy this part of your artistic journey!

I'm gonna have to go with Donna's first card that featured Rosie. Why? Because it had so many of the adorable images...Rosie, Flit & Flutter, Tucker, and The Sweetest Day Sentiment Set. All the cards were amazing though. Great release! Thanks for the giveaway.

WOW!! So hard to pick a favorite!! My fave card is Kim Teasdale's card using Tucker and Toadstool. Her coloring is beyond amazing, layout fantastic.

I am loving these stamps for this release!! Can't wait for them to be available.

Thank you Michele and Stacey, it has been so exciting watching these gorgeous designs be revealed each day. The designers have all done such a fabulous job, it is hard to pick just one...so I picked two! I love Donna's Rosie card,her subtle colouring is awesome, especially on the background she has created and Mel's colouring of Peep is just divine and her stitched 'hello' is amazing.

Love Poppy's cute little tummy and that fabulous banner!

[Theresa Grdina]

These stamps are adorable!!! I think my favorite all-time card is the very first one using Rosie. I love the little scallop that is peeking up over the top of the base of the card! It is so cute!! As for today's cards, I am wild about Poppy and Dorcas Perkins's card: Welcome Baby! TOO CUTE!! I can't wait for the sets to be available!!!

[jengd]

I hate having to pick one because everything really is just so fabulous... and I can't. I'd say 2 that really jumped at me were Kim's Tucker & Toadstool (I LOVE the lush coloring!) and Kathy's from today- that glitter technique looks fabulous!

[Lizzy Hill]

Jenn B's toadstool card was my fave....loved the colours & the way it was set out. Really 'popped' for me:):) BTW, LOVE how you've 'revealed' this stamp set....it's been fun looking:):)

[Kara Lynne]

Too hard to pick a favorite, you all have such talent and unique styles. I will choose Paula Williamson's card of Poppy because I love her soft colors and coloring and I love that Poppy is holding that kite!

[stampersuzz]

Cherry's card with the soft pastel colors and the fringe along the bottom was my favorite today! Beautiful cards by the entire design team and love the new stamps!

[judy jung]

This sneak peek has been delightful! Every day and every designer with something amazing! I love Donna Mikasa's card using Peep because it is a perfect CAS card that honors that adorable bird perfectly!! I know these new stamps will be finding their way into many new homes! They are delightful! Thank you to Stacey Yacula for sharing her artistic gifts with the stamping community!

[Joy H]

I can't pick just one either, so it's Kim's Tucker and Toadstool for me - the rich colours and layers are just stunning, and I also just love Mel's Peep with the stitched hello - again, stunning and I love the colouring and blue stitches. I am so happy I discovered this reveal by chance through another blog and I am definitely going to put in an order tomorrow, because these images are so amazing! I''m now signed up for POD newsletter and blog feed - YAY!

[Jennifer Scull]

well any card by Dorcas is always a fave of mine just because she has so much talent and style and a way with coloring on kraft paper.
but I also have to say that the stitched sun ray card by Mel just took my breath away with the wonderful selection of papers and those pretty little butterflies. I love that card because it makes me feel so very happy every time I see it! :)

I came here because of Dorcas and her blog. I can't wait for the stamps to be available. I'm going through chemo treatments right now & it's been tough. but these stamps bring such a smile to my face and a lift to my heart. what a wonderful thing these days! thank you for that! :)

[Cindee Stacey]

Okay, you were definitely right when you said it would be hard to pick a favorite!!! I'm gonna say Kathy's is my fav by a smidge cuz of the glitter! The bunny looks so cute all glitterfied!!! I look forward to seeing more of Stacey's art turned into rubber stamping goodness!!!!And thank you for the chance to win this adorable set!!

My favorite would be Mel McCarthy's 'peep', I love the stitching and simplicity of this card. Having said that every one of the cards is an inspiration - very talented designers and great stamp designs to work with ! Happy stamps !

[Sheila]

What a sweet collection of stamps!! Love Stacey's style. All the cards were so delightful but if I have to pick, the closest I can narrow down are the two cards by Mel McCarthy using Flit & Flutter and her card using Peep. Peep is just sooo cute! Really like her color choices.

[Judy1223]

I'm loving the clean and simple cards, and my favorite was Donna's "Peep" card with Peep on a branch. Loved all the cards, honestly, but Donna's are among my favs!

[Liz Baker]

I loved Donna's 'Peep' card. Little Peep looks so cute and Donna is my favourite card maker

[Trina]

All of the projects were fantastic, but I esp liked Donna's Rosie card (it just made me smile) and Mel's Peep (simple yet impactful)!

[Denise Bryant]

Really hard to choose a favorite.... they are all great! I absolutely loved Mel's card with Peep, using the stitched "hello" as Peep's branch. Such a great added texture to the card and a very clever idea!
I love seeing the new stamps Stacey designed, and had fun looking at all the fun creations at each blog. A couple of blogs were new to me and I'll be sure to keep an eye on them. Very talented group of ladies!

How impossible to pick a fav...omg, I am just loving all the styles and the 'shabby chic' look....well, that never occured to me and it's GORGEOUS! The possibilities are endless as seen in just this group of Poppy cards! Thank you SO much for asking me to play with you girls, this has been a blast and I found a TON of new blogs to stalk! Thank you, thank you!!

[charlene]

hard choice--loved them all. Kathy's is wonderful with the glitter and Cherry's is so sweet in brown and pastel. Sweet stamp!

[kmorakefet]

OMG it's so wonderful !!!

[Cassie]

It is hard to pick - I love Rosie and freckles, but I'm going to go with Angie's card with Poppy as my favorite.
