Y&FH Release Day!! Peek-a-Boo Series

Good morning and welcome to RELEASE day at Yumi & Fumi Handmade!! 

Woo Hoo!!

We're so happy you could join us today.

Before we start the showcase, we'd like to say a huge Welcome & ALOOOHAAA to our friends Cliff & Cheryl of J's Knicknacks in Honolulu, HI.  J's is the first to carry our line of Yumi & Fumi Handmade stamps in their store and we're really happy and excited about it!!  If you live in the area please stop by and say Hello and pick up a few of our stamps.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to J's Knicknacks for being our firsts!! 

Yes, that means we've gone wholesale!  If you'd like to see our stamps in your local craft store please ask them to send us an email at wholesale@yumifumihandmade.com. 

Today we’re excited to show you our newest stamps created with a little whimsy in mind.  When coming up with this new stamp line we wanted to do something a little different but still keep fun and cute in mind.  We came up with the idea of our characters peeking around a corner, laying in the grass, and maybe even peeking over something.  Then we thought it would be even cuter to add in our own little critter friends to go along with us.  That is how the Peek-a-Boo series was born.

These stamps are the same quality as our other stamps and all made in the USA.  Made of deeply etched red rubber on cling mount they are also scroll cut and indexed for easy stamping.  The only difference is they are much smaller than our normal sized images, but that doesn't detract from their cuteness.

Each stamp retails for $7.50, but for a limited time you can purchase a bundle pack of all 4 stamps for the low price of $25 until Monday, April 8th at 5pm pst.  (This offer only applies in the Yumi & Fumi Handmade store) 

Make sure to stop by the Y&FH blog to see what the rest of the DT created with our new images.  When you click on each designer's name it will take you directly to their blog for details on their projects.

Time to welcome our Peek-a-Boo friends into the ohana…

Today I am sharing my project featuring

AJ with Dragonfly

AJ with Dragonfly image colored by Eva

Isn't he adorable with the dragonfly landing on his nose?!!  As you can see he can be used peeking around anything.  For my project I have him peeking around a white-washed fence.

This actually started out as another sticky note easel card, but I forgot to add the long piece of cardstock for the easel before gluing down the box!  No worries though because I created another box to go on top and now have this cute little gift box which I can still put sticky notes, or other small flat things. 

I hope you enjoyed my project featuring the adorable AJ and his little Dragonfly friend.  Make sure to stop by the rest of the team's blogs and leave them some love.  They did an AWEmazing job with this release.  Always blows me away.

August C.A.T.S. share

Hello, yes I'm back.  haha!
As I was going through my posts and some pictures, I noticed that I never posted the card & tag I made for my August C.A.T.S. partner Michelle.  Unfortunately since I made this back in August I don't really remember all the colors or papers I used.  I do remember which stamps and that's about it.  lol!  If you have some time to look I believe this might be a pretty long one with lots of pictures.

Here are a some pictures of what I made using Sister Stamps, Mei Li and the lantern set from Stampin' Up! (Kimono Kids). 

Aha!  It's sort of a peek-a-boo card.  Yes the image is actually adhered to the band.  It slides off to reveal the lanterns at the top of the card.  I had to make sure that the band itself was snug enough to cover the lanterns when it was closed.  Some pictures of the card:

Band with Mei Li on

Peek-a-boo I see some lanterns

The card w/out the band



I stamped the lanterns on the dp, stamped again & colored/stickled them
I popped the 2nd & 4th one up. The 4th one acts as the closure for the card.

The band with Mei Li
Her outfit & lantern were paper pieced, the rest was colored with
Copics and sparkled with Stickles

Next up is the tag.  So when I made the tag I wanted it to be similar in style to the card.  I used two of the lanterns from the SU kit.   Used some scraps to finish this off.  This also has a slider band, but instead of an image I punched out some flowers and added those for a cute decoration.  I cut a slit in the top of the tag to slide the ribbon through.

The tag

Here is the tag opened with the slider still on.

And there you have it.  If you made it to the end thank you for sticking through.  Now, I think I've shared almost all of the projects I've made with the Sister Stamps I have.  I have one more to share that will complete the ones that are out but I think I'll post it tomorrow as this is my second post for today and I don't want you all to get bored.  :)



Arigato for stopping by today!!  Have a wonderful Saturday!! ;)
