My first card showcases a stamp set that is versatile all year round, and perfectly full of snarky, very usable and fabulous sentiments! Snarky Shadow Thanks is a must have, awesome and easy to line-up multi-step stamp set. Here I lined up the solid word and stamped it in a row in multiple inks, then came back with the shadow stamp and stamped that with black. I finished with a coordinating sentiment strip. Easy, but packs a punch. Seriously, these sentiments in this set are a ton of fun!
This next card reminds me of fall and all the beautiful colors and textures that season brings. I pulled out the new Quilted Stitched Harlequin Cover Up Die to create a rich, textured background for the beautiful wreath and fall floral arrangement stamped and die-cut from the versatile Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set and coordinating Thankful Thoughts Dies.
I adore the square wreath in this stamp and die set, along with all the multi-step stamping foliage that goes with it. (I LOVE that lil' pinecone!!) There are beautiful sentiments in the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set, but I chose to use a sentiment from the previously released Best Blooms Stamp Set, as the banner included in the Thankful Thoughts Dies is so versatile to use almost with any sentiment! I finished the card with a stamped border from the wheat in the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set.
Here's a look at the new release products showcased in my two projects today:
