A Happy Anniversary Wish and Some News

Good afternoon everyone!

I'm popping in to wish Island Scrapbooking in Hilo, Hawaii a Happy 10th Anniversary and to happily announce that they are now carrying our Yumi & Fumi Handmade stamp line!  We are very excited and blessed about that!!

If you're in the area, be sure to stop by between 10am - 2pm, sounds like they are going to have a big, fun party as only a 10th anniversary should be celebrated!!  Wish I could be there!! :'( 

Michele, owner of Island Scrapbooking LLC & me

Michele, owner of IS, and I chatted on the many occasions I "just happened to be in the neighborhood" visits to her cute store and on one such visit she mentioned the 10th anniversary approaching in October.  She also found out that I was part owner of Yumi & Fumi Handmade and was interested in possibly introducing our line to her customers at her anniversary party.  Boy I was beyond ecstatic as I had not told her anything about our line.  Thank you to the little birdy that mentioned it to her.  I was super excited to pack all of the stamps she ordered and added some of our samples.  I also wanted to send her a little thank you card using a combination of a Y&FH image and some of her products...

Happy Anniversary - Summer Fumi

Here is the card I sent her featuring Summer Fumi and on her t-shirt the smallest honu from our Tiki-Surf set.  I combined that beautiful background paper, the Happy Anniversary laser cut phrase and laser cut flower in her hair, all products from Island Scrapbooking to create this super CAS card. Don't our stamps go wonderfully with the products in her store?  :)   I almost kept this card, but knew that it was going to a good home. :)  If you happen to be in the area please stop by, say hi and take some pictures.  Post them on our FB page so we can see!!  ^.^

Sending happy wishes and congratulations to Michele on a really amazing milestone.  Hau`oli la Ho'omana'o!  Cheers to many more!!

Mahalo for stopping by today, have a lovely crafty day and don't forget you have until Friday to link up to our Anything Goes challenge.

Hugs,

Friday's Where's Yumi & Fumi?

Hello everyone!

Happy Aloha Friday!

Hoping you all had a safe and fantastic Independence Day.  We had lots of fireworks going off in our neighborhood so I did not have to go out to see sparks flying.  :)

For today's featured card I went to our current challenge and found this really awesome card by Carla:

Here is the front of the card using Tiki and one of the Hang Loose stamps from the Tiki Surf set:

And here is the inside of the card featuring more images from the Tiki Surf set (Long board and small honu on his shirt) and our Summer Chuckles:

Isn't this the coolest scene? The sand & water, the sky & sun, even to the crab crawling about is awesome!! I love the custom made tshirt too.  Soo very cool!!

CONGRATULATIONS Carla!!  Please grab our badge below and share it on your blog or FB page or both! :)

If you weren't chosen this time, no worries.  I'll be searching the internet for more Yumi & Fumi creations.  Leave me a comment with a link to your project and you just might be the next one featured on Friday's Where's Yumi & Fumi Featured?

Stop by tomorrow to see the results for Challenge #19 (Red, White, Blue & Kraft) results and come back on Sunday for Challenge #20!!

Happy Aloha Friday!

Challenge #18 CONGRATS! Reminder

Happy Sunday!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Y&FH Hang Loose release day (one day late!)

*****************************

Eva and I have gotten together to remind everyone about the CONGRATS! challenge that is in progress here at Y&FH.

Eva's card using Winter Yumi

Oh my, don't you just love this card!  If the rainbow colored dots don't make you happy, then Yumi's blue eyes and snazzy blue cap definately will!  If you head over to Eva's blog  you can get all of the details on this happy card. 

Denice's card using Summer Chuckles and Tiki Surf Set

  

I couldn't resist using the sentiments from the newly released Tiki Surf Set to create a card for someone who just bought a new car. I also think this would be easy to alter for a newly licensed driver with a gas card attached instead of the deodorizer. 

Here are just a few small details about this challenge:

CHALLENGE #18 - CONGRATS!

Create a CARD using a congratulatory theme.

June 9 - June 21

Ends: Noon (pst)

Thanks for stopping by Y&FH today!

Hang Loose Preview - Tiki Surf 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 in this new release. 

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 4x6 set:

Eva created this awesome tag featuring Tiki and the smaller Hang Loose icon

(Also shown: the new Lotus flower)

Leanne's got a few cards featured below first up are the Long & Short boards, and the Sweet Ride sentiment:

Here's one with the Petroglyph honu:

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?  We thought these were the perfect Tiki Surf images that would go well with the rest of the stamps in this series and we hope you do too. 

If you'd like to win this stamp set :

1. Leave us a comment here and on any of the featured DT blogs

2. Become a follower of our blog (if you already aren't)

3. Link up below

If we reach a minimum of 25 links or more we'll gift-a-way 1 Tiki Surf stamp set to one of you lucky crafters.  To make sure we reach that number share this direct link post on your blog, Facebook, with your friends and family.  The collection will close on Sunday, June 16th at 10:00am pst and IF we reach 25 links or over the winner will be announced on Monday.

Mahalo for stopping by and don't forget to stop by tomorrow for the last day of previews. 

We're saving the best for last! 

Until then... Aloooohaaa!!
