Birthday Wishes for Melissa!

Brrrrr.......Happy Saturday!
The  DT has banned together to wish our very own Team Fumi DT member
~~~~~~MELISSA~~~~~~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

What can we say about Melissa besides she is a 
sweet, talented, creative, reliable, friendly, and always ready to jump in to lend a hand....kind of girl.

Don't be surprised if you notice a color theme today, as we tried to use her favorite colors...
pink, purple, and black

********
Corrine:
"Happy birthday, Melissa!  May all of your wishes come true on your special day!"

********
Rosemary:
"Happy Birthday Melissa! Wishing you many blessings this year! 
Sending you love and hugs on your special day!!"
.
********
Sheena:
"Happy Birthday Melissa, lots of wishes for a fabulous year ahead!"

********
Cebelica:
"Dear Melissa! I wish you lots of happiness and beautiful moments.
 Happy Birthday!"

********
Denice 
"Wishing you a year of happiness and good health, Happy Birthday!"

********

Sheena's card using Fumi makes us think 
of the movie "Pretty in Pink"  :-)
*****
Blankina took time during her holiday to make a card using
 Yumi with Book to send happy thoughts and wishes,
 with the hopes it brings a sweet smile to 
Melissa on her special day!
*****

Cebelica has adorned Fumi with Gift with gorgeous flowers 
and a sparkling present!
*****
Denice used Fumi w/ Gift, thinking pink hair 
and butterflies would be a fun way 
 to help Melissa celebrate!
*****
If Melissa isn't smiling enough by now,
Kathy's card using Fumi is sure to add more happiness to the celebration!
*****
 It's late but certainly filled with lots of birthday wishes.  
A card with a hidden message from Leanne featuring Yumi with Birdie

HAPPY HAPPY DAY
We hope we have surprised Melissa with our happy and cheerful wishes.

Challenge #16 - Anything But a Card

Good morning and a Happy Mother's Day to all!  We at Yumi and Fumi Handmade wish you all the best and hope you have a lovely day.

Today starts a new challenge for the next two weeks.  For this challenge we'd like you to create Anything But a Card!  That's right, you can submit anything except a card.  3-D projects, tags, altered crafts and bookmarks count, just remember if it's a card save it for the next challenge.  Today Rosie and I will share our creations with you to activate your creative juices.  For some of you it might not be necessary, but there are some of us who need a little inspiration.  :) 

A reminder about our rules...
The rules can be found in our Challenge info tab.  Click here or click on the tab up top.  They are pretty straight forward and easy to follow, we'd really dislike to remove your link because you didn't follow the rules, so please before you link make sure it qualifies.  The winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to our online store.  That's right, you get to choose what you want!  Yay!  And we can't leave out our top 3, they will receive a 10% discount to our online store. 

One of the fun parts is choosing an image.  We require an image for our challenges.  We are a stamp company afterall. :)  Use a Yumi & Fumi Handmade stamp in your project and you will be entered twice into the drawing.  We realize some of you might not own one of our stamps so we've got a list of some fantastic stamp companies that you can use.  If you have a Sister Stamp, La-La Land Crafts, The Greeting Farm or our newest addition, Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps, feel free to use them.  They won't count twice, but you'll qualify to be entered in the drawing.  Cool yea?!  We hope you'll consider playing along.  :)

Okie dokes is sharing time.  First up is Rosie with the cutest 4x4 pizza box I've seen in quite some time.  Peeking out  from the top of the box is AJ w/ Dragonfly.



Isn't it cute?!  To see how she put this one together hop on over to her blog post.  Oh I see some yummy Simple Stories papers and look at that bow!  How adorable is AJ?  And look how cool that dragonfly sparkles!  Way awesome!  Great job Rosie!!   Next up is me with a 2-drawer box with an easel flap.  Just in time for Mother's Day...

Leanne with Fumi with Gift:


I know you're probably saying Hey! That's a card!  Actually it's not, it's part of the design.  Without anything on top it would just be a plain ole' set of drawers.  :) 

Now it's your turn!  We're looking forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations coming in for the next two weeks.  Challenge #16 - Anything But a Card ends next Friday, 5/24 at noon, pst. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  For all the mother's, mother figures, aunts, grandmothers, mother-in-laws, friends we wish you a day full of joy spent being treated like a queen!  Enjoy!!

Hugs,
Rosie & Leanne

Wednesday Where's Yumi & Fumi Featured

Hello everyone!!

Starting today and every Wednesday we are going to be featuring one or more of you here on our blog.  We know a lot of you have bought a Yumi and Fumi Handmade stamp or two and we want to share your creations with our community.  We'll be strolling through blogland, Facebook, Pinterest searching for creations using our Yumi and Fumi Handmade stamps.  If you see your creation on the blog grab the badge below.  Break out your Yumi & Fumi Handmade stamps because we'd love to see how you've created with them.

Today I'm going to share three different cards that I found while hopping around blogland and Facebook.  This first card I have been dying to share for some time now.  Created by a non-blogger named Chuck and yes if you haven't guessed already he is our resident Chuckles.  The reason why I wanted him to be the first to be featured is because when he made this card he had little-to-know knowledge of coloring with Copics, card design, etc...  After he went home he sent me this picture on Instagram which he then shared on his Facebook page.  It blew me away!!

Isn't this awesome?!!  He used Winter Chuckles, AJ, Chase and Fumi with Messenger bag in this scene. He mentioned they are all waiting in a NY subway station. I can totally picture that!  Not bad for someone who only recently started cardmaking and coloring with Copics.  Thanks for sharing Chuck!

Next card I found in blogland on Lynn's Craft blog.  This is a Girl's Day/Thank you card featuring Fumi with Gift.
 Love the colors she chose and the paper piecing.  The simple design with the beautiful origami crane and kanji are eye-catching.  Thanks for sharing Lynn!

Last on today's list is a card I also found in blogland on Linda's blog (Life of a girlie girl)  She created this adorable card with Fumi with Bear Backpack.


Love the layout, the paper and all the different elements she used.  Thanks for sharing Linda!

I can definitely see myself case'ing any of these cards for the future. 

For being featured on our blog you three will be the first to grab our fun badge.  Feel free to share it on your blog or Facebook page.  Thanks so much for sharing your creations and supporting Y&FH.


Want to be featured on our blog and receive this adorable badge?  Join our challenges, post your cards and projects on your blogs, share on our Facebook page, and upload to Pinterest.  If you weren't featured today, no worries, there is plenty of time to be.  We'll be searching the web and maybe you'll be the next one on Wednesday's Where's Yumi & Fumi Featured.

Have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by!!
Hugs,
Leanne

Challenge #12 - Springtime reminder


Be on the look out for some fun events taking place in April with Yumi & Fumi Handmade.  The happening spots will be here on our blog and on our Facebook page.  The events start April 8th with a give-a-way and a scavenger hunt on the Facebook page and a month long challenge here on our blog.  Be sure to be back on Monday for all the details and see how you can share & win some AWEmazing prizes by Spreading the Love with Yumi & Fumi Handmade...

Now back to our regulary scheduled program...  

Whoa!  Hey everyone!!  What just happened?!! haha!

If you've been stopping by for the past week and a half you should have seen all the beautiful Springtime creations from Rosemary, Eva, Kim and our Guest Designer, Thanh.  Today Sandie and I are popping in to share our Springtime cards with you.  We were both a little stumped with this subject, I mean what consitutes Spring?  Hmmmm...  Let's see, flowers, soft pastel colors, flowers, butterflies, birds, flowers, bright colors, flowers.  Did I miss anything?  :)  Right now it's snowing in Southern Ireland and I'm sure it was really hard for Sandie to get motivated to create a Springtime card.  She however didn't have any issues and pulled it out as she always does... beautifully.  Here is her card featuring Fumi with Gift and take a look at all the beautiful flowers she used.  Doesn't it scream Spring?  I wish my thumb was that green. ;)


Stop by Sandie's blog to see all the details of her beautiful card. 

Now I live in California, and Spring seems to have found us so it was pretty easy for me to come up with some motivation.  I went with a CAS with no patterned paper (I know gasp!) theme for my card.  I colored up Fumi with Bear Backpack, added pretty sparkly cardstock and used three of my newest purchases.  For all the details you'll have to head on over to my blog.


So how'd we do?  Spring enough for ya?  (haha)  If you haven't already linked up for this challenge here's your chance, but it's only for a limited time.  The challenge closes on Friday at noon.  A reminder to please read our Challenge rules before linking up. There are specific details that we require and although we don't like to remove anyone from the contest we have to insist that everyone follow the rules.  Click HERE to link up.

Here's another reminder of the prize package...


Thanks so much for stopping by today!!  Looking forward to seeing lots more cards and projects before the challenge closes.  Have a terrific day!!

Hugs,
Sandie & Leanne

Carson Rubber Stamp Convention News

Good morning everyone!!

Wasn't March Guest Designer, Thanh's post the other day fun?!  OMG, I was a bit worried about the pictures, but then I said hey, we had soooo much fun why not share it with our fans?!  I'm so glad she did.  That was a really fun night!!  

Wanted to pop in and announce that we are taking a break from retail conventions for a while, but if anything changes you'll be the first to know.  

But here's some good news:
  If you happen to be in the LA area and are planning to go to the Carson Rubber Stamp convention this weekend (March 9-10) stop by the Craft-A-Holic booth and say hi to Kathy, formerly from Pixie Boutique.  She will be selling The Greeting Farm stamps and Y&FH stamps!  Also, our friend Jenny, from Sesame Bijoux, will be selling her beautiful handmade jewelry and she's got some items for crafters.
Stop by the booth for a TGF make n' take and while you're there pick up some stamps to fill out your collections.  Besides our online store this is the only other place you'll be able to pick up Y&FH stamps in person.  So stop by and tell Kathy we sent you.  Oh and you might see one of us there.  We'd love for you to come by and say hi!

Oh and I almost forgot to mention...  We heard a certain crafter will be making his appearance at the Stampers Anonymous booth.  His initials are T.H.  YES, I am serious!

Before I sign off I wanted to share the two cards I made (for fun) for the Designed to Color crafty Tic-Tac-Toe challenge.  First up I chose the following 3 squares: purple, ribbon and bling and the image is Fumi with Gift.  All the details can be found on my blog including the Copic colors.


For this next card I chose to use the following 3 squares: ribbon, banner & yellow.  The image is the BFF's made by Sister Stamps.  All details can be found on my blog including the Copic Colors used.


Don't forget about our current challenge.  Click on the sketch on the right hand side bar and link up your card.

Have a terrific weekend!!  Thanks for reading! ♥

Hugs,
Leanne

Yumi & Fumi Handmade Blog Hop & Stamp Showcase



Hello and welcome to the 1st Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts Blog Hop & Stamp Showcase!

We are really happy that you could take time out of your busy schedules to join us today. 

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

**I need to clarify a couple things, there might be confusion with the names of our business and blog so here is the correct info: 
If you are refering to the business or store: Yumi & Fumi Handmade
If you are refering to the blog: Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts
 Thanks so much!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Before we begin we'd like to say a big MAHALO to everyone that has become a new friend and left us some wonderful and supportive comments.  We definitely appreciate all the support and feedback.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 Today's hop is featuring the new debut release of our stamps with each designer contributing a card to share.  I am so excited for all of you to start the hop and tell us what you think.  Saturday is our release day, but you all get a sneak peek at the images starting today!  So with every blog hop there are prizes right?  Well this hop is no exception.  We will have 5 random prizes hidden throughout the hop.  Make sure to become a follower of each blog and leave a comment.  The hop will start today and end on Sunday at noon PST.  You read that right, 4 days of hopping.  Winners will be chosen randomly and announced here on Monday, July 16th.

I have one more exciting news to share with you regarding our stamps.  Renate' & I have been to many rubber stamp shows and we incorporated a lot of what stampers were saying into our stamps.  We are very proud to announce that all of our stamps are scroll cut, deeply etched red rubber on a gray cushion mount, they are indexed and made in the USA!!  What does that mean?  No more cutting up your stamps, you will be able to stamp and see the image when it's mounted on a clear block and lastly we are supporting our local stamp maker, Mr. Jim!  I'll share pictures of the rubber and indexing tomorrow.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Now hold on to your seats because you're about to meet Yumi & Fumi illustrated by our awesome illustrator, Amy Beard.  They will be debuting in their beautiful packaging courtesy of Ms. Renate' Winter.  We have a surprise for our DT team.  Little do they know, but all the colored images on the packaging were colored up by our DT!  
We were blown away by their coloring that we just had to use them.
We ♥ our team!

(Because this was a surprise for them we didn't get a chance to create a list of colors used, but we will update that soon.)

Enjoy!
