Oldies but Goodies

 

This week Lori's shared an Oldie but Goodie with us that's perfect for welcoming a new little bundle of joy (boy or girl - how adorable would this be in shades of blue, green, or even yellow)?!  The ABC Mobile! 

Oldies but Goodies

 

I get pretty excited about spring each year.  The weather starts to be nice again, the sun is shining, flowers are blooming, and stores start stocking tons of chocolate.  And not just ANY chocolate - CUTE chocolate!  *laugh* 

It's that love of cute chocolate that made Yummy Bunny one of my first A Muse stamps!  I remember laughing out loud when I saw a card Julie had made with him and fell in loooove!  In fact, he's so cute someone took a little nibble of his ear!  Cracks me up! 

Happy Spring, everyone!

Oldies but Goodies

 

This week's Oldie but Goodie highlights one of the adorable older Easter stamps in A Muse's collection: the MB Spring Basket!  It's so cute and, paired with a sentiment, makes quick (and cute!) work of any Easter greetings you're planning to send!

Oldies but Goodies

I'm just giddy over today's Oldies but Goodies!  So springy, so clever, and ... simply adorable!

 

Oldies but Goodies - Chick Cart
by Lori

"Isn't the Chick Cart stamp one of the cutest stamps ever! Not only is it totally fun to color -- but you can do SO MUCH with it! Birthday, Baby, Easter...think of the possibilities! Plus...with a little masking...you can have even MORE stamping fun with it. It's a "must have" in my collection!"

  

Lori added so many fun touches to her cards: like popping-up the glittered cart on the first card and adding speckles to the eggs on the second.  Love it!   And how stinkin' cute of her to stamp the Tiny Egg in the Leafy Tree!  We always hid eggs in trees!  Didn't you?  Gotta' love that! 

Oldies but Goodies

I'm in love with this week's clever Oldies but Goodies card!  I mean, just take a look at those sparkly "eggs" ...

  

Oldies but Goodies
by Tisha

"What says *spring* more than an Easter Egg Hunt??  Grab your baskets, or a wheel barrow, and go find some sparkly eggs hiding in the long grass!"

How can that not make you smile?  Such a cute idea to use Twinkle Stickers for eggs!  Love it!

Oldies but Goodies

Even if you're still diggin' out from underneath the snow a lot of folks got this week, it's never to early for a little spring time stampin'!

  

Oldies but Goodies - MB Bunny Flower
by Jenn

"I love how perfectly the MB Bunny Flower stamp goes with the new All Ears sentiment!  And I think adding a heart Twinkle Sticker is so cute!"

And don't ya' think it's clever that Jenn took an image that a lot of us might only associate with Easter and used it for a fabulous, "everyday" friendship greeting?!   Really reminded me how versatile ANY stamp can be when paired with just the right sentiment!

Oldies but Goodies

Despite a bit of snow still hanging around outside my house, Spring is right around the corner!  Can't ya' just feel it?  *laugh*  And June's Oldie but Goodie has me chomping at the bit to see that spring-green grass pop up!

  

Oldies but Goodies - Bunny Tail
by June

"I love Bunny Tail! I have been a long time collector of anything bunny-related. So, when I saw this stamp, I knew I just had to have it!  This card makes me think bunny is waiting in the morning dew for Spring to arrive!" 

I really, really love that she added just a tiny touch of glitter to the blades of the new Long Grass stamp!  Really does give it that "morning dew" look she was going for!  So clever!

 

Pssst!  Bunny Tail is on sale right now too!

Oldies But Goodies

This week's Oldie but Goodie, Love Cake, is such a cute, versatile image ... let's take a peek at what Jen's made with it!

 

Oldies but Goodies - Love Cake 
by Jen D.

"I’m so happy that I get to share this Oldie but Goodie with you.  Love Cake is one of my favorite stamps and is really versatile.  It’s just so cute, but at the same time it can be dressed up to be more elegant (like the card below).  I’ve even masked off the top tiers to make a birthday cake in a pinch! "

 

 

I love that Jen's showed us both sides of the Love Cake:  cute, spunky, & fun OR sophisticated and elegant!  (And guess what?  It's on sale right now too!  Gotta' love that!)

 

Oldies But Goodies

Are you guys ready to squeal with me!?  *snicker*  This week Rhonda, our most recent Guest Designer, has shared a card for our Oldies but Goodies feature and ... it's just too dang cute! (And such a simple, clever idea if you still need to whip up a last minute A Muse Valentine for someone special!)

Oldies but Goodies - Love Take Out
by Rhonda

"The Love Take Out stamp is one of my favorite Valentine stamps!  So fun and different, makes me think of cozy nights snuggling up with my hubby on the couch, watching a movie or favorite TV show and eating a yummy meal that I didn't have to make!  Can't get much more romantic than that.  This type of card is called a Joy Fold card and the front flap is held down by a chipboard heart (which you can get a better look at in the next photo).  And of course it wouldn't be complete without Paper Fortune Cookies made with A Muse Kitchen cardstock, to go with it!"

 

What did I tell ya' - adorable, huh?!   

 

Oldies but Goodies

Oldies but Goodies - Hippy Snowchick!
by Katie

MB Hippy Snowchick is the perfect stamp for making winter themed cards for birthdays (just add the Tiny Party hat), thank you notes (use the Thanks SNOW Much sentiment) or a "just because" card like this one. Plus, she looks great in my two favorite colors - pink and orange!"

 
[Stamps: MB Hippy Snowchick, From One Chick,You're Cool.  Paper: Popsicle Pink Tiny Dots Notecard, Orange Crush Band Notecard, Orange Crush Solid Notecard, Popsicle Pink 4-Bar Notecard.]

Oldies but Goodies - Kissing Couple
by Jen A.

The Kissing Couple was one of my very first A Muse stamps and it's still a go-to favorite. My hubby and I celebrate a lot of fun, silly, and romantic "anniversaries"  besides our real wedding anniversary. Like the day he FINALLY asked me out  after 15 years or the day he proposed, so this stamp gets used a lot through out the year. As soon as I saw the new Love Birds stamp from the Sweet Shop release I couldn't wait to pair the two up for the first of this year's anniversary cards.

 
[Stamps: Kissing Couple, Love Birds MA.  Paper: Vintage Red 4-Bar Notecard, Popsicle Pink 4-Bar Notecard, Swiss Red 4-Bar Notecard, White 4-Bar Notecard.  Embellishment: Hearts II Twinkle Stickers.]

Is Jen's card not darling?  And so many cute touches - I especially like the Heart Twinkle sticker in the sentiment!  All sorts of cute! 

Oldies but Goodies

Oldies but Goodies
by Jill

Oh, how I love the Alpine Hut!  I just want to curl up inside with a nice cup of hot cocoa and a roaring fire and forget that I ever have to go to work!  This stamp is a classic, it's so charming and takes me to a place I want to be!

I wanted this card to look especially "cool" so I used a bare trees from the Trees I set and loads of glitter!  (I still have glitter embedded in my carpet!)  To give the hut a textured appearance, I paper-pieced it using a scrap of Chocolate Brown notecard.

[Stamps: Alpine Hut, You're Cool, Trees 1 Set.  Paper: Cabana Blue Notecard, Classic White 8.5 x 11 Cardstock, Kitchen Chocolate 4-Bar Notecard.]

For my second card, I wanted to do something a little more masculine.  I was inspired by my 19 year old cousin who loves to snowboard with his buddies.  I'm sure that the rest of the country is fed up with snow, but here in Southern California, we can't get enough of it and every weekend our local mountains are flooded with people hoping for some good powder. 

[Stamps: Alpine Hut, Think Snow MA.  Paper:Cabana Blue Mod Dot Notecard, Vintage Red 4-Bar Notecard, Kitchen Chocolate 4-Bar Notecard.  Embellishment: Swiss Red Grosgrain Stitch Ribbon.]

Oldies but Goodies - Holiday Shopper
by Geeta

"I think this stamp is fabulous - who doesn't love shopping?!  Ms. Holiday Shopper can be used for gift cards, birthdays, girl time with your friends, you name it. I, especially, love to pair her with the Visa saying from the Holiday Greetings II clear set. Just good fun!"

Happy Holidays!

Oldies but Goodies

You know how Julie says she bounces when she gets really excited about something?  Well, it must be contagious, because bouncin' is just how I'd describe what I did when I saw the cards for this week's Oldies but Goodies!  If these don't put ya' in the holiday spirit, I don't know what will!  *laugh*
