Good morning and welcome to the release day blog hop for SCACD!! We are celebrating the release of two brand new exclusive collections from the "Susana Loves Stamps" line at SCACD, "Eyes of Beauty" and "Eyes of Dreams". The stamps are now available for purchase as complete collections or as individual stamps. When purchasing the complete collections, you will also receive a bonus accessory stamp! Our international crafty friends can purchase them at Quixotic Paperie .
Today's hop is full of inspiration from the SCACD design team as well as some special guests designers. I know we have all had a lot of fun creating with these gorgeous new stamps. :) To ensure that you hit every blog on today's hop, make sure to start the hop at Danni 's blog. If you have been travelling along in order, you will have arrived here after visiting with one of our lovely guests, Angela Wood.
My card today features the lovely "Mariposa Eyes" from the "Eyes of Dreams" collection. The pretty papers are Prima Nature Garden. The chipboard corner embellishments are Make It Crafty Ornate Corners. I also had a chance to play with my new Vivienne Butterfly Die from Memory Box. The flourish is also a Memory Box Die, "Elegant Scrollwork".
"Mariposa Eyes" was stamped on Neenah cardstock with Memento Ink and coloured with Copics. Her dress was paper-pieced with the Prima paper and shaded with Copics. I absolutely adore the eyes on these stamps...they are so pretty!

It is now my pleasure to send you off to visit with another one of our talented guests, Mary Johnson.
Have fun on the hop, and make sure to stop by SCACD afterwards to do a little shopping. You can find the new stamps HERE. You can also take a peek around the store to see all the wonderful new products Susana has brought in recently. No matter what your artistic style might be, Susana definitely has products to suit your specific needs. :)
Happy hopping and shopping folks!
Blessings,
Melanie

SCACD Sneak Peeks and Blog Candy..."Classic Eyes"
Hi folks! Did you hear the buzz?? There's a new exclusive release coming to SCACD this Friday!! It's called "Susana Loves Stamps" and there will be two collections available. Here's a word from Susana about these new stamps:
We are thrilled to bring you 2 new collections that will capture your hearts through the eyes of these Beauties!!! I am changing things up by launching some new "branding" for SCACD in this case, Susana Loves Stamps. To be clear it does not mean I personally designed what you are seeing but I did have a part in bringing it forward. Look out for more Susana Loves projects in the works!!!
Eyes of Beauty Collection has 4 stamps and 1 bonus stamp only available when you buy the complete set, plus a sweet discount when you buy the entire set.
It's my pleasure to introduce you to "Classic Eyes" from the Eyes of Dreams Collection...isn't she gorgeous?? I think she has a bit of a greek goddess vibe with her pretty updo and all that draped fabric. :) The other day, I posted some Bitty Boxes that I had painted with several of the fantastic new Luminarte products from SCACD. I had been working on my non-stick craft mat and rather than wasting the product that was left over, I reached for an Inksentials Manilla Tag and used it to blot up the excess Silks and Micas. This created a fun mottled background. I spritzed it with water from my Mini Mister and blotted it to soften the effect. I then began layer some additional Silks in Honey Amber and Coral Berry applied with a palate knife. I also mixed some Solar Gold Mica with water and gum arabic in a Mini Mister to create a glitter spray and spritzed that over the entire tag. After it was dry, the tag was run through my Cuttlebug with the Hedged Maze embossing folder from Couture Creations and then the edges were sponged with brown ink. I happened to have some old scraps from a glittery paper collection that coordinated perfectly with the colour of my tag, so I sponged them up with brown ink and applied them to the tag. The flourish is part of the paper, but you could easily create something similar with some of the fabulous Memory Box Dies from SCACD...just cut out your shape and coat it with one of the Silks or the Mica Powders. You could even cover them with Glamour Dust if you prefer. :) To finish it off, I applied a Make It Crafty Chipboard corner that was painted with brown craft paint and topped with some Honey Amber Silk, added a bit of ribbon and a pearl brad. I also added some pearls to the embossed design of the tag with a Viva Decor Magic Pearl Pen.
"Classic Eyes" was stamped on Neenah paper with Memento Ink and coloured with Copics. Her dress and drape were paper pieced with some Bo Bunny papers and shaded with a combination of markers and Conte Crayons. Her drape was edged in Stardust Stickles and the gems in her hair band were topped off with the Magic Pearl Pen. Aren't the eyes on these images beautiful?? They really are fun to colour.
