First off using Stamp Set #1.....I have to share this card. Truly a favorite of the bunch. IMHO. Yes, my first card is not so CAS but full of detail! Sometimes it is fun to keep adding things! A while back, I ran across a card using this sand look for the beach. I knew this technique would be perfect to use with this set! You can find the link for the video tutorial over at Jenny's blog here (a great blog BTW). A few punched waves, die cut cloud, and cut out sun were added along with this adorable little beach hut! Goodness....isn't that surfboard adorable done up in polka dots? My hut was colored in with Copics and then I used my colorless blender to add some wavy lines.
For my next card using the new set............I combined it with the sun image from Nauti-Cool and the frame image from Everything's Owlright. I first sponged a strip of Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass that I had masked off. Then I masked my strip to stamp my suns across that. The sentiment was continually stamped to the bottom of the cardfront....this is such a great new font for the sentiments. My blue background for the teeny bikini was also sponged using this ink.....I LOVE these inks. My frame was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with white ink and then cut out.
Next up.....my cards using Stamp Set #2. Very CAS card where I've used the Scor-Pal and Scor-Bug to add just the right amount of texture. Add in a little bit of Copic highlights and whalaaa! This card is for some special friends of ours. They will love it!
And lastly, a more feminine approach to BABY. This one is just so sweet and I've mixed it up with the polka dot image from Scoot Away with Me set. I love love that polka dot image.....small enough and so easy to line up!!! I thought this fun shaped card was perfect to go along with the baby theme. This baby set was inspired by Jaclyn Miller.
Ok, now I want to hear what you think!!! This release has been so fun.......I hope you enjoyed visiting today! I always appreciate your sweet comments here on the blog. So to keep things moving, hop on over to the rest of the DT's blogs for even more inspiration using these new sets! Remember to comment along the way as you never know what blog the winner is chosen from! Until tomorrow.........:)
