May Arts:: Stampendous

What an exciting week this has turned up to be! May Arts and Stampendous have teamed up for a week long blog hop full of inspiration. Today is the second day of the Hop. You can find out yesterday's stops and more details (as well as your chance to win prizes!) over on the May Arts Blog.

My first card features the really cool Teal Mica Fragments from Stampendous, that have been glued to a panel and then the card base that has been stamped with a sentiment. I wrapped the card with a both made from two of my go-to May Arts Ribbon for cards- Burlap String in Natural (SM10) and 1.25" Silk Ribbon in Olive (SK16). I tucked in some stamped, fussy cut leaves from the Stampendous Stamp Set, Moray Dahlia.

Here's a close up:

Then I made a second card too! This features the Moray Dahlia Stamp Set as well, and is a blank card for any occasion:

After stamping the flowers, I colored them in lightly with markers, then added some Stampendous Melon Ultra Fine Pearl Glitter in their centers. I finished the card with a large bow made from May Arts 1.5" Sheer Ribbon in Teal (C04), and tucked in some of the popular May Arts Leaves in Olive (BY16).

I hope you enjoy the schedule hop stops this week! What a perfect pairing: May Arts and Stampendous!

Oh, isn't this little guy fun! He's so innovative and possibly my favorite product from this release. What a cute way to dress up a bland gift card! I cut the owl twice-once in some backing cardstock and another in cream. I adhered the two pieces together, being careful not to glue down the beak, wings, or tab. Then I inked the edges, added the eyes (with rhinestones), tucked in the gift card and secured it with a big May Arts Silk Ribbon bow.

I hope you have a fun time hopping and that you enjoyed the new release! There is three $15 gift certificates to the store up for grabs to one lucky commenter along the hop! Your next stop is Kristen!

I used two of the new releases on on another clean and simple card.  (I also used the Sun Die and Clouds Die too-released a while ago from Lil' Inkers!) I layered the sun and clouds on top of the Cloudy Sky Die and tied May Arts Burlap String in Antique Gold and stamped one of the many beautiful sentiments from Stay Beautiful.

I used three of the new releases on my clean and simple anniversary card. Love them all! (I also used the Stitched Circles Die too!) Love the limitless layers on the hearts and tags, and used the double stitching feature too for the heart.
