My first project features the super cute, super fun I'll Be Brief Stamps and I'll Be Brief Dies. I just adore the three critters in this stamp set, as well as the stand alone undergarments. Perfect for the person that appreciates humor. I started the above card with a pale green card base. I had die cut the new, awesome, FREE with qualifying purchase (see below for specific details) Diamond Chevron Cover-Up Die from white cardstock to layer on top. For something a bit different, I cut it smaller than the card front, but this cover plate is designed to well, cover a whole card front! I then die cut out of black cardstock an oldie, but good, LID item called Instant Camera Die. For the sentiment, I die cut the word "hi" with light green paper using the bold Hi Word Die. The corresponding sentiments were stamped with the I'll Be Brief Stamps. To finish the card, I stamped and die cut the adorable crocodile from I'll Be Brief Stamps wearing some briefs with dark green paper, and paper pieced his briefs with white paper.
Whoops Stamp Set and its coordinating Whoops Word Die is another super fun and witty stamp and die set from this release. For this card, I started by painting some reactive paint onto hot pink cardstock and foiling it in silver. I die cut and stacked the Whoops from black cardstock and added glossy accents on top for a nice shine.
I finished the card with one of the many fun sentiments from the Whoops Stamp Set,
some black enamal dots, and a strip of silver washi on top!
