    I have a couple of cards using this set, I used the stamps and dies a bit different than the rest of the team, hope you like them.
     
    For my first card I decided to make a monochromatic card. I like this peach/salmon color (don't know the brand, I have too many papers, LOL) I stamp the tree trunks in Versamark Ink and added White embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut the leaves and heat embossed them as well, then added them to my card panel.
    I added stitches and pearls.

     
    For my second card, I went super CAS. I cut a piece of Chevron patterned Paper, Die-cut and stamped the sun using Patterned Paper, I covered the center of the sun in gold Paint. Die-cut the flip flops and stamped them in Bahama Blue, added twine and rhinestones! Super fast!

    SNSS Feature Blog Hop Day 4: Majestic Monarchs

    Welcome to day 4 of our July feature Blog Hops!  Today we're featuring the gorgeous new set called Majestic Monarchs.

    MajesticMonarchs
     
    SNS-13-025MajesticMonarchs


  • Stamp set includes 6 images & 3 sentiments
  • Set measures approximately 4" x 6"
  • The largest butterfly measures approximately 2 1/2" x 1 3/4"
  • Designed by Korin Sutherland
  • Priced at $15

  • I made 2 cards using this set. Both are pretty easy, so here are the details.

    First card. I started spraying a piece of White cardstock with yellow and red sprays (Studio Calico), then stamped the butterflies in Jet Black Archival ink and cut them out. I mounted 2 butterflies here to give it more dimension. Then I die-cut a decorative frame shape, stamped the largest butterfly in Jet Black Archival Ink and added the monted one. Stamped the sentiment on a piece of Kraft Cardstock, added a white doily and the decorative frame. After that I paper pierced the corners and added a little rhinestone to butterfly.



    For this card, first I stamped the butterflies on a piece of Kraft Cardstock and instead of ink I used "Gesso", I saw this technique on Kim's blog and decided to give it a try, since I didn't have Distress Paints, I used Distress Inks, and added spray mists as well. I die-cut a lace border in white and painted it with Moss 3D paint. Added twine and a button. Finally added this panel on an Ivory card base.


    Check out some of the fabulous samples made by our talented DT in the thumbnails below.

    Thinking of you

    Hello friends!! Happy Sunday to all of you! Hope you are having a great day. Today I am sharing with you a "Clean and Simple" card I made for Great Impressions Stamps Challenge, this month's challenge is "Anything goes"

    This is the card I created, using sweet Lizzy image, I colored only her apron and dress with Copic Markers.
    I used a bubble talk die and stamped the sentiment from "Sweet Sentiment".
    The background was created with a hand cut cloud and sponged it around several times with light blue ink.
    The grass die is from SNSS, I used a leftover piece of PP from another project to die-cut the grass.


    Hope you like it and can play along too!
    Have a great day!!
