It’s the release day at Simply Betty Stamps and our last preview in the Teen Scene Kitchen Fun theme! Today we’re bringing you Kiss the Cook Miller and I couldn’t resit pairing him up with Aussie BBQ from Make it Crafty.


The papers are from DCWV, Nana’s Kitchen, and I used a few diecuts from My Favorite Things to help create this scene. Make sure you head on over to the Simply Betty Blog to check out all the details on the release… and the information on the new store blog! Simply Betty Stamps is now Simply B Stamps!! This theme has been so much fun to work with and I hope I’ve inspired you!

Allison and Abby

It’s new release week for Little Miss Muffet Stamps and I can’t wait to show you what we have for you this week! Make sure you check out all the design team inspiration on the Challenge blog and we’ll also have another one for you tomorrow! (Also, don’t miss out on my Simply Betty Stamps card I posted today as well, click HERE or scroll down.)


For my project I chose to use Allison and Abby from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and have them sitting on a chippie border from Make it Crafty. I chose to color Abby in her PJs and settling down for a night with a good book from her Mom…. however, she can just as easily be colored in regular clothes for afternoon Mommy & Me time.

I’d like to enter this into the following challenges:

Secret Crafter’s Saturday Challenge #162 – flowers and borders
Simon Says Stamp Challenge – anything goes
Make it Monday Linking Party #65 – anything goes
The Ribbon Reel Challenge #16 – anything goes
Cooking it Up Challenge #86 – anything goes

Little Miss Muffin Rio

Are you counting yet? Today is day five out of six in the Simply Betty Stamps Teen Scene Kitchen Fun series!! Whohoo – that means tomorrow is release day with the finial preview. ;D However, before we get to that, today we are previewing Little Miss Muffin Rio! You can check out the other design team creations on the Simply Betty Blog too!


First off, if you’ve been looking closely you’ll notice I didn’t use my DCWV paper – gasp! I actually had this journal page made about a month ago and didn’t have the idea of coordinating the projects until this week. ;D But I love showing this new color pallet and I hope you like it too.


For the journal page, I used Little Miss Muffin Rio from Simply Betty Stamps and Kitchen Isle from Make it Crafty’s Kitchen Set to create this scene. I also took some more inspriation from Annika and went to town with the micro beads! LOL I think she does it better but I’ll get the hang of it with a little more practice. (I found all the Martha Stewert colors on clearance for just over a $1.00 so I’ll have plenty of opportunities!)


Because the colors are so dark and rich I didn’t need to add a lot of embellishment, otherwise, I think it would have been too busy. I added antique white lace and a few cookie cutter shapes I had in my stash. Voila… finished. ;D Now it’s time to enjoy those yummy muffins… I do hope they’re chocolate-chocolate chip variety! Mmmmm.

Pan Slingin’ London

It’s another preview day for Simply Betty Stamps for the Teen Scene Kitchen Fun series and we’re showing off Pan Slingin’ London today! I went for a bright and cheery look and even had a chance to use some punchinello metallic ribbon. Make sure you check out the other design team creations on the Simply Betty Blog!


This is one adorable girl and as I was coloring her, two movies came to mind… Tangled and Bewitched! LOL So, of course, I *had* to give her blonde hair. 😀 However, the theme song for Bewitched won over so I colored the kitchen in black and white and found a black cat for Darrin to place next to Samantha. (And no, I didn’t remember the names – I had to look it up on Wikipedia! LOL But I do remember watching the show a lot when I was a kid.)


The kitchen is a portion of a digital stamp from Make it Crafty, Kitchen Set, and the cat is from another Simply Betty Stamp, Everyday Emo London. Lastly, I got the idea for the background from Annika and Delphine projects who are both so inspiring! Thanks gals! 😀 Hope you like the card and come back again for two more days before the whole set of six are released on Firday – whohoo!

Spaghetti Christian

Welcome back to the next day of previews for Simply Betty Stamps! Today from the Teen Scene Kitchen Fun theme we’re showing off Spaghetti Christian. You can also check out all the other wonderful creations from the design team on the Simply Betty Blog!


On my card I also used a few other stamps to add to the kitchen ambiance – from the top down there is Knife and Fork from Magnolia, Candelabra from Inkadinkado and Friendship Tickets from Whimsy with the accompanying metal die. I made a bunch of those at the same time so I’m sure you’ll be seeing more later on. ;D And of course, the paper I used is more DCWV Nana’s Kitchen – I was pleased to find a few non-pink sheets.


This guy was so fun and quick to color up and I can see him being used for several occasions. This one is intended more for a birthday card or personal invite to a romantic dinner. I went with more traditional chef colors on the white but gave him green tipped hair for a splash of color. Hope you like this and bon appétit!

Cupcake Lola

Welcome to the second day of previews for Simply Betty Stamps. The Teen Scene Kitchen Fun series are the last release of the year and they are cute! Today we’re showing off Cupcake Lola and make sure you visit the Simply Betty Blog for all the other fabulous creations using this gal!


The stamps I used are Cupcake Lola by Simply Betty Stamps, of course, and two images from Make it Crafty – Butterfly Rose Swing and the gift boxes from Festive Elements collection. Instead of kitchen or Christmas themed, I’ve gone for a birthday theme – and with these elements I was hoping it looked like a backyard party. ;D


The paper is the same from yesterday, DCWV Nana’s Kitchen, and I think I’ll use it for all the releases this week if I can get away with it. ;D I love the list pastel colors and the brads I have are working really well with it. Can you believe how big that cupcake is? Yummy! Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoyed the card.
