I have 3 cards to show off some of the fun new goodies that I was sent from this release.
supplies: white cardstock, Bristol paper, Crackle Background cling stamp, Mom's Meadow flower sprig, (retired) Beautiful Day sentiment, Zig markers and water
I simply stamped with a medium grey ink onto a panel of white, then added the Meadow flowers, and my sentiment. I love this background, very subtle but it definitely makes a statement!
Next up is a simple card featuring 2 of the 4 stencils in the Sunny Smiles set.
supplies: white cardstock, Sunny Smiles stencils, mustard seed distress ink, sentiment from Hello Darling, cloud die, Doodlebug heart, adhesive foam squares to lift clouds
This is a set of 4 small stencils - I chose to use just 2 of them, centered on my card front, and then added a stamped sentiment and some embellishments.
You can see another card I made with these stencils HERE.
And lastly, I played with the new Toilet Paper Slider and sentiments from We're Like Toilet Paper.
supplies: white and metallic silver cardstock, kleenex tissue, "tile" and "wallpaper" dps, Toilet Paper Slider dies and sentiments from We're Like Toilet Paper stamps, adhesive foam squares to lift tp roll
Edited to answer Theresa's comment: when I cut out the toilet paper dies, I just put kleenex over white cardstock and cut. The pressure of the machine "melded" the tissue to the cardstock; I didn't have to glue the 2 together! And the cardstock gave me some stability so that the whole thing could be popped above the card. Thanks to my friend Mary Anne for this idea!

Wow you made the toilet paper die into a much prettier card than I ever would have expected! I’d use that powder room any day. Great work with a challenging topic! Love it!
Love the cards!
I especially like the sending sunshine card. We all need some sunshine in our lives....
The crackle background stamp gives such a unique touch to cards...looks so lovely behind your flowers. Love the crisp clean look to your sunshine card, and it's hard not to smile at the toilet paper set.

Great cards Lin! My favorite is the TP card. I love the colors and the humor and sad to say appropriateness to today's issues. Best to laugh and embrace the situation, and connect and support one another. This has been such a fantastic blog hop!
I love the sunshine card. Very nice!
I have always loved a crackle finish, so I'm totally in love with that stamp. Your cards are awesome. The last one gave me the giggles, of course.
Your cards are great, especially the TP card!

Fabulous cards! The TP one is too, too cute!
That crackle background is outstanding! Why mess with paste every time! Very pretty card! okay elephant in the room..... I LOVE THE BATHROOM SO MUCH. The tile and the wallpaper...cracking me up! I admit I did the tissue to cardstock by accident once on a card and have used it again. Love the roll unraveled...so you roll under. Tee hee. Thanks for the smile!
Love that crackle background! Thank you for the inspiration cards.
Adorable cards! The sunshine card is one of my favorites.
Love the crackle background with the pretty flowers and your last card is just so fun!
Love these projects
I love the tp card!! So creative and fun. That crackle stamp is amazing as a background on the pretty flower card.
Great cards! Love the floral design on the crackle background, sweet card with the clouds and sun, and you were on a roll with your TP card! Fun!
Great cards, love the pun in the last one.
Fantastic cards Lin. Love the humour of the last one.
Amazing cards I LOVE how you created the toilet paper - thanks for sharing the tip and for the great inspiration.
Great job!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Very nice cards! Thank you for sharing.
OMG- that crackle background w/ the light and whimsical flowers is divine, the sunshine card joyful, and that bathroom w/ the TP-- out of this world, with your attention to detail, from the roll holder to the real tissue and wallpaper! Thanks for inspiring- Be Well.
Love the texture of the tissue as toilet paper! :)
I love the look of the sunshine card, and the tp card is just so fun! Cute idea.
Lin, I LOVE the crackle background - especially because I really hate getting messy so would probably never buy the crackle paste!
Who would have thought we'd be playing with toilet paper, right? SO fun - and your use of tissue/paper together worked a charm!
=]
Love your cards! I have to say your toilet card is my favorite! I swear the background looks just like tile and the floral top is wallpaper!!
Great cards. I am liking the crackle stamp more and more.
Your cards are gorgeous! I love how you used the crackle stamp on your first card!
Your cards are lovely!!! The colors are beautiful in the first card, love the crackle!!
Oh Lin, you nailed the look of an old fashioned background with tile on the bottom of the wall, a chair rail to divide, then wallpaper on top. Too cute! I like the CAS look of your cards & have to agree that the Crackle Background stamp has now been added to my wish list.
Beautiful, creative cards! I love the crinkle background stamp! Thanks so much for sharing how you created the toilet paper! It is such a great idea!
Great talent. Thanks for the inspiration.
Cute cards!
Really like the crackle background with flowers card!
This looks just like it is hanging in someone's bathroom! I love the dimension and the clean look of this!
Love your cards. Each one is so unique. Beautiful use of the Zig markers--this fabulous bouquet stands out fabulously on the crackle background! I have copic markers, but I am a little scared to use them because I don't water color, and can't make them look good. I guess I just need some practice. I absolutely adore the simplicity of your second card. The way that the yellow sun just pops off the card is very effective and the look of the dimension in the clouds is fabulous. And I find your last card completely adorable. When I saw the toilet and toilet paper dies in the set--I wondered how in the world someone would use it in a card. Well--YOU DID IT! And what an adorable, delightful card you made! Thank you for your ideas and Inspiration!
Your cards are wonderful! I also love your blog photo!
So cute toilet paper on your card. Great idea that someone shared. Thanks for sharing
I am in love with the crackle background stamp. I keep thinking I don't need another background stamp, but.......
So stinkin’ cute. The tp card is a crack up. I just can’t get enough of the crackle backgrounds. For sure a classic go to!!
Nice cards, especially the last one with the toilet paper. Amazing how the toilet paper looks so real. Thanks for sharing.
Great job on all your projects. I love the crackle background and that toilet paper card is too cute. Thank you so much for sharing.
I like the sending sunshine your way card; clean and simple.

Thanks for the edit on the toilet paper layer. Oh wow, I never thought toilet cards would be so popular.
Oh I love that background stamp - wish I could afford all this cuteness!
Beautiful cards! Using kleenex and cardstock for toilet paper is genius!
I love the clean look of your cards and how well they are done. Thank you.

Wonderful set of cards, Lin!
Love all three of your cards! The crackle background is really nice - can work on almost any card design. The simplicity of the sun card makes it really sweet. And adding the kleenex for the T.p. - genius!!!
