Add The Trims!

Hello, dear Fresh Squeezed friends! It's Virginia here!  Today is my LAST design team post here (wahhh...).  It's hard to believe that I started last July and it's time to say goodbye! Time sure flies when you are having fun!

For today's project, I made a Mother's Day card using Mother Knows Best.  Even though Mother's Day is still far away, you can always change the sentiment to suit the occasion!

With the right pattern paper and trims, this homespun card was really easy and fun to create.  I colored the yarns in copics and wrapped it with twine. The "valance" was created with some lace.  I also added some splatter in the background to give the design some interest.  I hope you like it!

Mother Knows Best

This post concludes my term here.  I want to thank Ryann and Shannon for trusting and giving me this amazing opportunity to play with Fresh Squeezed Stamps.  It has been an absolute pleasure to work with the fabulous FSS! I will definitely miss blogging here!  Your support and encouragement mean a lot to me!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Spring Cleaning - Day 2

Welcome back to our Spring Cleaning Extravaganza!  Today we've got another clean sweep with fabulous creations by our very awesome design team.  Aren't they the best?! Yeah, we think so, too!  They've done an outstanding job featuring some of the best of Fresh Squeezed Stamps, so let's get to it!

But wait, before you get too excited, we want to let you know that we've got another giveaway!  There are several ways to enter, and all the details are just below...

First up is Katie Gehring's card that squeezes in all the beautiful colors of our unofficial namesake set, Sublime Citrus!  You've gotta love the overlapping slices in this blocked homage to sunny places (and perhaps some juicy beverages!)

Next up to bat is Stacey Schafer with Say Anything!  She's used the cool border stamped in gold and the sentiment especially for an awesome coach.  The neutral tones in her patterned paper, along with a little splatter, make this card a home run!

Lesley Croghan's fresh take on Weather Through reminds me a bit of Mary Poppins' flying umbrellas -- makes me smile just thinking about it!  Colorful paper piecing and an eye catching addition to her sentiment really make this card - supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Kim Singdahlsen mixes two parts sparkliness with one part fun sentiment to give us a Fresh Squeezed mock-tail! Using the Sublime Citrus set, lots of glitter, and a dash of Background Check, Kim's card is definitely shaken, not stirred!

Virginia Lu uses faux stitching to give us a handmade beauty using the Weather Through set.  Her umbrella is preciously paper pieced and reminds us that April showers bring May flowers!

Sarah Gough knitted one and purled two with this awesome card using Mother Knows Best! The ball of yarn is perfectly colored and everything about this card says women and crafts just go together!  Love the layout and die-cut pieces...any grandma would be thrilled to get this card!

Close Your Ears: Deer

Forget about those winter storms and start planning for warmer weather by joining Fresh Squeezed Stamps in some SPRING CLEANING!! Our design team has pulled out some of the most loved Fresh Squeezed Stamps sets, polished up the ol' ink pads, and are ready to show off some brand new cards using some old favorites.

Today we're GIVING AWAY one of these favorites -- there are several ways to enter today's giveaway, and all the details are just below...


Sarah Gough has stitched up a comfy, cozy card using our Friendly Folk set, which has lots of rustic, primitive images and a real homey feel. The wooden button and twine are the perfect finishing touches, too!

Virginia Lu's looking toward spring with a garden full of fresh veggies and colorful watering cans! These spectacular watercolored cans, along with all the other fun images and sentiments, are from our Mother Knows Best set.

Kim Singdahlsen dusted off the favorite, Weather Through, a set packed with lots of meteorological images (ooh, big word!) and great sentiments you won't find anywhere else. Kim's made a standout card with her poppin' color scheme and clean style. Love the sequin raindrops, no doubt from a cloud with a silver lining!

It's all about some sunshine we're hoping for to melt the cold and bring on springtime! Lesley Croghan gets us in the mood with her sweet and cheerful card using Sublime Citrus. If you like puns as much as we do, this is a must-have set!

Katie Gehring's inspired ingenuity brings us a great new take on the Weather Through set! She's heat embossed the moon and stars and added die-cut clouds for texture. Love the sprinkle of sequins and the little pennant. Did we mention the sentiments in this set are unique?! Out of the box, folks, think outside that box!

Stacey Schafer's card is a HOOT, and just the prettiest little thing ever!  She's used our Hootie Who? set, which is full of lots of fun owls and great sentiments.  Love the doilies and tiny hearts, plus that black floral and striped patterned paper and punny sentiment round out this adorable card.

Hello! It's Amy T here, sharing a farm fresh card:

I'm a huge fan of Saturday Farmer's Markets!  I'm lucky to live in area where there are a couple that I can hit on the weekend!

I'll be honest, I only like cooked carrots and carrot cake, LOL....but I wanted to pop those carrots from the Mother Knows Best set into that fun berry basket from The Sweet Life.

I used a SRM sticker for the sentiment.

Mother Knows Best

The Sweet Life

Thanks so much for stoppin' by!
