CARDS
There is a new floral set that totally made me smile. It's called Bride to Be!
To create this card, I added a little bit of ink blending in the background for a slight blue haze. Then I stamped and die cut the flowers and made a simple grouping using my Press N Seal trick. (You can check out my video HERE.) Last, I stamped the sentiment from the Best Mom set.
This next card uses the Garden Silhouette stamp set along with the Fine Alphabet Dies...
To create this card, I stamped the images along the bottom of the card front. I die cut a large rectangle in the card front so I could pop the center rectangle up on foam tape. Last, I die cut the word Hello in white card stock and in fun foam so I could add it to the card with some dimension. Clean and simple!
This last card, uses some of the images from Garden Silhouette...
I kept this one simple and stamped the vase and flower on watercolor paper. I added a little water to the vase and it gave it a really pretty effect. I added a little shading with a comic along the bottom and then stamped the sentiment in black ink.
Here is the full May Release....
And here is the "i want it all" button...
