Today I am happy for my friend and teammate, Aimes, as it is her debut of her first designed set, Oh Deer for
The Craft's Meow! What an incredibly cute set! Congratulations, Aimes! So glad that one of your dreams came true!
I inked up and colored that sweet deer and paired him with some fabric tapes from
Love My Tapes and a sentiment from God's Blessing, another The Craft's Meow set being released this month.
(I also used the sketch from Love My Tapes.)
This next card is a bit of a whimsical take on the second set being debuted today, Summer Fun by Katilyn Ord for
The Craft's Meow! I wanted to showcase how you can stretch this stamp set and utilize it beyond summer so the little martian is actually the bottom of the grill turned upside down with a trio of googly eyes added! This sentiment is a mix of a fun and bold one offered with this set, one from Stitched Sentiments and Vintage Rides. Summer Fun is July's free gift with a $50 purchase at
The Craft's Meow!
Please stop by
