I have a selection of cards to show off some of the fun new goodies from this release.
First up is the fun CHILLIN' GNOMES stamps. This set has 3 gnomes dressed for summer and lots of sentiments and smaller stamps to build some fun scenes.
supplies: white cardstock, Chillin' Gnomes stamps, Nuvo markers to color,
Simon Waves and Clouds for Days stencils, distress inks and blender brushes
Those "palm trees" are really mushrooms colored creatively!
Here's another using the she-gnome and her posies from the same set.
supplies: white cardstock, Chillin' Gnomes stamps, colored with Nuvo markers, distress inks and blender brushes for background
I masked my card front and brushed on distress inks before gluing on the gnome and flowers. She has her toenails painted, and is dressed in summery colors.
Next up is FAIRYTALE SPINNERS. I made a window card and suspended one of the fairies inside the window. And I stamped the frame with a flower and butterfly also in the set.
supplies: white, Lavender, and Surf Blue cardstock, Fairytale Spinners, colored with Zig markers, MFT Mini Scalloped Stitched Rectangle dies, fishing line to suspend fairy in window
Here's the reverse design of this fairy. There are front and back stamps for 2 different fairies; you just choose the matching pair, color and cut them out, then glue them together with a string or clear filament between them, then attach the string on 2 opposite sides of your window opening.
And lastly, here's my card using the new STARBURST stencil. I immediately thought of fireworks.....
supplies: Soft Navy and gold foil cardstock, Starburst stencil, DecoFoil Transfer Gel and Summer Rainbow foil, Simon's Extra Large Congrats die
I chose a dark background to simulate a night-time sky, and then secured my stencil, applied transfer gel, let it dry, and then ran it through my laminator with rainbow foil. I think the Congrats die is the perfect sentiment to go with this background!
