Faux Stitching

Hi ya!

Today's card is all about faux stitching.  I'm so not the kind of gal who'll pull out the sewing machine, for a card, but I envy those talented ladies that do.  I can't sew straight (much to my grandmother's dismay) but boy my faux stitching is pretty awesome! It's also much straighter than my regular sewing and it's so much faster!  (hahaha)  I'm glad I finally finished this card.  It was just waiting for the right layout and it came in the form of the current Deconstructed Sketch.  It made me smile when I was done.


Today's card features Winter Yumi.  I've been on this blue and green kick for some time now.  (They are two of my favorite colors) and once I figure out what to do with the other colored images I'll share.  As you can see I've done faux stitching on almost every part of the card as well as Yumi's hat.  The patterned papers are scraps from K&Company (Jubilee) & Confetti by Colorbok and I like how the colors seems to pull together even with the hot pinks.  The sentiment stamped on to the white banner is from Make It Crafty and yes I faux stitched it with blue ink. hehehe...


Anyone playing in any of the March Madness pools?  I stopped doing that several years ago since I don't watch college basketball like I used to.  I have no clue who's good or bad nowadays and you can't always rely on the #1 team making it to the finals as they always seem to get knocked out early. (Knock on wood)  Well good luck to you if you are.  Hopefully I'll get to watch a few minutes of some of the games in between enjoying the weekend, but for now, I'll settle for getting this post up.  :) Okie dokes, thanks for stopping by today, have a terrific day!

Happy Birthday Renate'!!

Hello!!

Guess what?  Today's Ms. Renate's (aka Yumi) birthday and there is a big surprise for her over on the Yumi & Fumi Handmade blog.  Yep the team twisted my arm to keep me from saying anything and yes they wheedled and pleaded for me to give them some time to take over the blog ONE. LAST. TIME.  How could I say no?!  I'm so totally kidding, they asked and of course I said yes!  It's for a totally good reason.  All the fun starts HERE.


This card was inspired by some of the recent pictures she's been sharing on her FB page.  If you don't know, she loves all sorts of KAWAII things and one of them happens to be My Little Pony.  So I went searching on the internet for this kawaii Rainbow Dash colored image.  Yay! I'm half way done with my card!  I thought pairing him up with Yumicorn was perfect!  Colored her up to try to match him, all the way down to the rainbow colored tuft of hair.  I added some clouds in the background to give the card more depth.   The sentiment was computer generated and I fussy cut it in to the shape of a cloud.   Wanted to do something fun on the inside and found another perfect Rainbow Dash image, all I did was add another sentiment...


Perfect right?!  I hope she likes it.

Rena, I hope you have a beautiful day full of love, laughs, smiles and sunshine.  Happy Happy Birthday girlfren!! Enjoy your special surprises today! Love ya lots!!

Now head on over to the Yumi & Fumi blog to see what the two teams had up their sleeve and leave them some love, they schemed, I mean worked really hard to keep this a SECRET.  hahaha!  Then head on over to Renate's blog to wish her a happy birthday.  If you're her friend on FB then definitely leave a message there.

Have a fantastic day and if you're also celebrating... Happy Birthday!  You're in really good company. :)

Hugs,
Leanne

Some Fall projects

Hello!

I was in the mood to make some small cards and a tag using this really pretty Fall bamboo washi paper from Hanko Designs. I added it to some kraft and mustard colored cardstock with a few additional accents: twine, buttons, ribbon and some canvas paper.  I didn't want to color all of the images I chose so I stamped two of them on to kraft cardstock and used a versamark pen to shade in the images.  First up is the tag I made using Kiki from Sister Stamps, a hello sentiment from Paper Smooches, a heart punch, a Fall colored canvas paper leaf, button, ribbon and twine...

Hello Fall tag with Kiki (Sister Stamps)

This next one is a small card featuring Shin-Shin from Sister Stamps.  Also stamped him on kraft cardstock and colored in with the same versamark pen.  Stamped the hello sentiment inside a punched heart.  Added some twine, a button, distressed the edges and lastly rounded the corners.

Hello Fall card with Shin-Shin (Sister Stamps)

This last card I shared on the Y&FH blog the other day.  I colored Summer Chuckles with a few Copics and decided to put him in a polaroid frame.  Stamped "many thanks" from Paper Smooches and attached it to the front of this small card.  Rounded the corners, distressed the edges and added some twine and I was done. (Playing in C4C213 challenge & 2 Sisters challenge #171)

Many Thanks from Summer Chuckles

That's all I have for today.  Wishing you all a really awesome Sunday!

Y&FH Hang Loose Release ~ Tiki Surf Stamp Set

Aloha everyone!

Welcome to day 4 of previews for our Hang Loose stamps release.

In a few days you will be able to purchase all of the stamps and get started on some cool summer fun cards and projects. 

All the stamps will be available on Saturday, June 15th in our online store. 

Today I will be showcasing something brand new to Yumi & Fumi Handmade.  We've added sets of stamps that can be used as accessories or on their own to our collection.  Each set is made of deeply etched red rubber on to cling mount for nice even stamping and ALL made in the USA.  The only difference with these stamps are that they will not be scroll cut or indexed as our other stamps are, but the quality of the stamp is still the same. 

For this release we have two sets with multiple images, I'll share the second one tomorrow, but for today I will be sharing samples from our TIKI SURF set.  In keeping with our Hang Loose theme we decided to go with some all time favorite "icons" that tie in to the whole Hang Loose theme.  Illustrated by our amazing artist, included in this set are 2 surfboards (a long and short board), a tiki, a honu ohana that can be used as a border or on its own,  two Hang Loose symbols and 3 sentiments.


 This set is perfect for the consummate surfer or water sport fan, but can also be used for any fun occasion and of course go really well with any of the other stamps.  Here are just a few of the different projects created with this set:

You definitely must stop by Eva's blog to see the awemazing tag she created with Tiki. It's soo cool, her tiki looks awesome!  Here's a look at my Tiki card that was not shared on the Y&FH blog today.  Having one tiki spotlighted was enough. haha...  Are ya all getting tired of my using the embossing folders?  Well sorry, it seems to be my go to, especially because I have tons of them.  I'm just so happy that I get to use them a lot more.  hmmm... might be time to be getting rid of some paper.. Eek!

Ta-da!  I really love how this one turned out.  The embossing folder is one of my favorites especially when it comes to doing CAS.
I've got quite a few cards to share today hope you can stay and go through them all.  Next up are the Long & Short boards, and the Sweet Ride sentiment:


Here's one with the Petroglyph honu, where I used another embossing folder:


Last up is this 4x4 card featuring the larger sized Hang Loose icon with a cool surprise:


Click on the video to see the surprise:


Hehehe pretty cool yea?  After coloring up the image and using Distress Inks to give it that cool yellow border I popped it on to the black cs that was die cut with a Spellbinder stamp die and then I popped that onto a wobbly wobble thingy.  I gave this card to my brother for his birthday and he had a nice laugh about it.

Stop by the Yumi & Fumi Handmade blog to see how you can win the Tiki Surf set.  And if you didn't link up for the past 3 days for a chance to win Summer Yumi, Summer Fumi or Summer Chuckles do so now.  You have until Sunday, June 16th at 10am but better to do it now than later, you might forget!  (haha)  Ok, thanks so much for stopping by today!  Tomorrow is the last day of previews and we'll be showcasing the second stamp set which I'm bet you'll all love. 
Until then have an awesome Thursday!!

I think he's really cool.  I made a quick second card and had a little bit of fun with Chuckles. 


(Also pictured here is the word shaka which will be showcased tomorrow)  He's wearing my version of a coconut leaf hat made out of paper and markers.  (haha)  It's supposed to be a woven hat made out of coconut leaves. My cousin would make these kinds of hats for us and they were soo cool with their big leaves and intricate weaving patterns.  Here's a picture of some real life ones:


Pretty cool yea?  And they kept the sun out of your face just as well if not better than a baseball cap.  Here's a close-up of Summer Chuckles:

Y&FH Hang Loose Previews ~ Summer Fumi

SALE ALERT! In honor of Father's Day all Yumi & Fumi Handmade guy stamps are now on sale until Father's day! Head on over to the Y&FH online store and pick up a few.  *Sister Stamps are not part of this sale.

Aloha and welcome to day two of previews at Yumi & Fumi Handmade.  Make sure to stop back each day this week to see the previews and on Saturday you'll be able to purchase the whole release.  We're excited to share this release with you and we hope you enjoy it.  Today we're spotlighting Summer Yumi's friend, Summer Fumi.  Today Eva, Sandie and I have cards to share so be sure to stop by Eva's blog and Sandie's blog then head on over to the Y&FH blog where you'll find out how you might be able to pick up this stamp.  Here's my card using the ink in the embossing folder technique.


Summer Fumi reminds me of my little cousin.  Always smiling and flashing the shaka sign.  She looks like a little hapa girl here.  I love her!  I decided to go with another CAS card and used a few distress ink pads and inked up the negative side of the embossing folder.  I ran the folder, with the paper, through my Cuttlebug and got that impression.  Next I went over the raised side with brown ink so that only the flowers were inked.  It looks like patterned paper yea?  It's not, just some white cardstock, an embossing folder and some inks.  Love how this turned out and definitely plan to do the same with other colors. The sentiment is a laser cut one from Island Scrapbooking and I was a lucky recipient of it from a cool RAK, thanks Jenny!  I colored the sentiment with Copics and thought it looked cool, almost like koa wood.


Stop by the Yumi & Fumi Handmade blog to see how you can win Summer Fumi.  And if you didn't link up yesterday for a chance to win Summer Yumi do so now.  You have until Sunday, June 16th at 10am but better to do it now than later, you might forget!  (haha)  Ok, thanks so much for stopping by today!  Tomorrow is day 3 of previews and should be a fun one.  Until then have a terrific day!!

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 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.

Happy Birthday Rena!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!!

Sorry I've been MIA.  I was missing my mojo and didn't really have the need to craft for a few days.  (GASP!) I know right?!!  What's wrong with me?  I don't know if any of you get that feeling like you just don't want to be around the crafty table, but sometimes I go through those phases and just looking at the craft table tires me out!  But I'm back and my mojo seems to be back for a bit so today I have something to share...  YAY!!  Hoping to share a few more cards for the rest of the week.


Today is a super special day.  My partner in crime Renate' Winter is celebrating her BIRTHDAY and the Yumi & Fumi Handmade Team and a few friends are helping with the celebration!!  Hop on over to the Yumi & Fumi Handmade blog to see the wonderful birthday cards and messages left by some of her friends.


Here's my card featuring Yumicorn.  I did a little alteration by adding stars and butterfly wings to her costume.  She already had wings, but I messed them up while coloring.  I decided to trim them off and used a butterfly die to create her wings.  I think it turned out almost as good as the original.  I went with a simple layout with lots of die cuts.  I used a balloon die, Spellbinder star circle die and star punches.  As you can see there is a lot of sparkle, if you can't see it believe me it's there.  I sparkled her horn, stars on her outfit, and of course her wings.  For fun I added pink & white twine to the balloons and I hope it looks like she's releasing them.  I handwrote the sentiment on the balloons and the star.   I hope she likes it.

Happy Birthday Rena!!  Wishing you the best birthday any girl can ask for.  Thanks for being a fantastic friend and partner in crime.  Cheers to many more occasions where we can hang out and do damage.  lol!  Enjoy this day and celebrate all month long!!  Margaritas!!!  hehehe... I Love ya girl!

Please stop by her blog and wish her a Happy Birthday.  Mahalo for stopping by, have a fabulous day!!

Hugs,
Leanne

Happy Birthday Sandie!!

Hello!!

It's just a little after 8am in Ireland and today the Y&FH team and some special friends are sending birthday wishes to our friend and teammate, Sandie Dunne!  Head on over to the Y&FH blog to see which friends are sending birthday wishes to her.  I looked online for a special Irish birthday wish and found quite a few, but the one I liked most was this one:
  
There are good ships,
and there are wood ships,
The ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships, are friendships,
And may they always be.

Lá Breithe Shona dhuit!


My card features 4 Y&FH images from the Kimono seriesYumi Peace Sign, Fumi with GiftYumi with Fan, and Fumi with Umbrella.  I made them in to portraits for something fun.  I wish I could do flowers like Sandie is known for, or even stitching, but then it wouldn't be my card ya know?  So I hope she likes my simple card with a few flowers and some of her favorite colors (pink & teal).  The origami paper is from Hanko Designs and the letters were created using the C.C. Cutters Bubble Alphabet die.  I colored the letters using Copic B39 and added white dotted flowers with a white gel pen.  The pretty pink & white flowers are from Recollections.


Happy Birthday Sandie!!  Wishing you all the wonderful things you deserve and more.  Have a terrific day and Sláinte to many, many more!!!  Love ya!!!

If it's your birthday today, Happy Birthday to you and many many more!! 

Make sure to stop by the Y&FH blog to see the other ladies birthday wishes and projects just for Sandie (don't forget to leave them all some love) and then make sure to stop by Sandie's blog and give her some birthday love too.

Mahalo for stopping by!!

Hello....


Hello!

Today I'd like to share another Y&FH image, this is Fumi with Bear Backpack.  I haven't given her much love since the B2S series was released so inked her up and colored her up.  I wanted to try a different hair color, so I grabbed some reds and "went to town."   Love how it turned out.  Gave her some blue green eyes and a nice porcelain skin.  {lol}


I used the latest Jen Shults DS83 sketch because I was inspired by the adorable card that Denice used on her Tuesday post at Y&FH.  Please stop by to check it out, you'll be entertained by the really funny story she shared.  :)  The dp is from MME, with dark chocolate accents.  I handwrote the sentiment on the bottom and added half pearls here and there.


Time for me to check out.  I hope you're having a wonderful day.  Mahalo for stopping by.  We'll see you again tomorrow.

Hugs,
Leanne

LFF #50 - Happy Birthday Rosemary!

Happy Aloha Friday!!

It's been a few days since I last posted and visited around blogland.  I'm also very late (Sorry Eva!!) for a very important birthday wish.  Hop on over to the Yumi & Fumi Handmade Blog because we are celebrating a very special birthday for Rosemary!!  Then pop on over to Rosemary's blog and wish her a Happy Birthday!

When I was working on her card I was expecting it to be super CAS, but that kinda got a way from me and boy I think I might have overdone it!  I picked Fumi and colored her up in pinks and black.  I know Rosemary loves pink, and I love black, so thought they were a pretty cool combo. 


After I was done I thought to myself, hm... looks more like a Valentine's day card, than a birthday card.  If not for the Happy Birthday on the banner you'd think that's what this was for yea?  {hehe}  I tried to make it as girly as possible and I think I achieved my goal.  Here's my message for Rosemary...

Dear Rosie, hope you're having a wonderful day!! You make everyone happy with your creations and being you and I hope we give you as much as you give us.  Thanks for all that you do and for being a wonderful friend! Wishing you all the best today and always!!  Luv ya!

Since there were no winners for last week's LFF #49, I'm extending it to this week and all you have to do is leave a comment and make sure to go through all the blogs on the Y&FH blog for Rosemary's bday post as well as Rosemary's and the one that does will get last weeks prize.

Have a terrific day and to all the peeps celebrating a birthday today, Happy Birthday!  Mahalo for stopping by and Happy Aloha Friday!!  Have a terrific weekend!!
Hugs,
Lilo

Holiday Cheer with Yeti Fumi

Morning everyone!!

Sorry this post is soo late.  I meant to have it up yesterday, but we had a team building event at work and I think I am getting sick!  When I say think it's because I'm not sure if it's a cold or allergies.  I'm pretty sure I'm sick, but hoping it will run its course and end soon.  {lol}  Before I get on with my post I wanted to say Mahalo to Linda and Denice for stopping by to leave me a comment on my Winter 2012 release day post.  You both will get something in the mail from me, I truly appreciate the support! :)

Here's a CAS tag I shared on the Y&FH blog but didn't get a chance to share here.


This is Yeti Fumi and she's all bundled up and ready to show off her decorating skills.  I embossed the base of the tag with one of my new Cuttlebug embossing folders (giant snowflakes) and used white Colorbox pigment ink to sponge around.  The dp is from DCWV and went perfectly with my card.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.  I finally bought a couple of their sentiment thanks to Rachel and Eva for enabling! :)  The snowflake is a chipboard with glitter on it and I used a really pretty silver braided ribbon for the top.  Yeti Fumi is colored with Copics and I apologize, but I forgot to write down the colors.  If I remember I'll make sure to update.  This tag ties in with our current November challenge, Ribbons or Lace which happens to end on Saturday.  For all the details and to link up your creation click here.  You could be in the running to win a stamp or be a part of our top 3.


Alrighty, have a nice day and Mahalo for stopping by!
Hugs,
Leanne

Some fuzzy time with Yumi & Yeti

**Treat winner from LFF #45: Heidi Brawley! Congrats!!  Email me your snail mail: quikhonu34(at)yahoo(dot)com.

Hey everyone!!

Did you all get a chance to stop by yesterday for the Y&FH Winter Previews?  If not, click HERE and you'll be transported there.  We had a really awesome lineup with some amazing guests and our awesome DT sharing their creations with our upcoming Winter images.  I loved all the different directions everyone went and I love how bright and happy all of their designs were.

Special Thank yous to Mary Johnson, Danni Bindel, Jessica Diedrich, Lou Mac, Taylor Usry & Amy Young for taking some time out of their busy schedules to help make our previews extra special!!  You ladies are terrific!!

I wanted to share two more little cards that I finished up last night.  I showcased Yeti Fumi yesterday so today I wanted to share Yeti Yumi and Yeti using similar layouts just different colored cards.  First up is Yeti Yumi and like her friend Fumi she's in the spirit of decorating.



I colored her with Copics and boy did I have fun with her outfit and hair!!  Yes, this little gal has green hair!!  The stamp in the background is from Inkadinkado.  I embossed the green card with a poinsettia embossing folder from Cuttlebug that comes in a set of 4.  I plan on using all four quite frequently for the holidays.  I added some white Colorbox ink on top to play up the raised petals and to soften up the green card itself.  As you can see I fussy cut her out and not sure if you can tell but I added a bit of diamond glaze to the lights and also the lights on the tree.  Next up is Yeti...


Hehehe, looks like Yumi & Fumi got to him!  This guy is soo cute and cuddly!!  And he's so nice to let the girls practice their decorating skills on him.  I used red Tsugumi card stock for the base of the card and again used the poinsettia embossing folder with the white Colorbox ink.  Used two different Copic colors that I've not played with before to color him up.  I like the greenish gray tint that he has.  Not sure you can tell but there is diamond glaze on all the lights, his nose, his palms, horns and toe nails! hahaha..  Who said a Yeti can't be groomed?! ;)

Here they are all together including Yeti Fumi from yesterday...


That's 3 more Christmas cards off my check list!  Yea!!  hahaha!  These and the rest of the Winter stamps will be in the store on Monday, 11/26, so mark your calendars.  These 3 will be sold individually, but as you can see they can be used together to create a fun scene.   Don't forget we have our 3 week long challenge going on and all you have to do is use a ribbon or lace on your project/card.  Click HERE for more details.

Well friends, thank you so much for all your lovely comments and for stopping by.  I'm slowly trying to catch up on visiting, but whoa everyone has been busy creating and so you might have more than a few comments/emails from me.  hehehe..  Take care and Happy Wednesday!

Hugs,
Leanne
