New Release Hop Day 1 - Lots of New Goodies!

Hi there and welcome to our New Release Hop Day 1!!

We have a whole bunch of new goodies to tell you about over the next few days! Let's get right to it!! 

First up is one of the greatest stamp sets we've ever done! Do you remember our Balloon Dies?? Do you love them?? Well, we made a FABULOUS coordinating stamp set for our popular Balloon Dies called Balloon Builders!

It's a stamp set of fun sentiments which coordinate with our You're Invited Stamp Set and loads of beautiful balloon stamps which stamp right over our balloon die cuts! One of the most fun parts about this stamp set is the Balloon String stamps! More about that in a minute.

Here's a look at our new Balloon Builders Stamp Set!!! Karen Baker did a fantastic job bringing you a stamp set that's trendy, modern and fresh!

So, let's talk more about the balloon string stamps in this set and more! The balloon string trio is a really fun way to display your balloons in a grouping and I find that you can really get creative with your project layout depending on how you arrange the balloons over this stamp. You can put them at different heights and use different size balloons for really unique looks. I really like the single balloon string as well. It adds to the versatility of this set.

What's even cooler is that we've added a NEW DIE to our collection. Check it out.....

This die will cut an exact replica of the balloon string trio stamp in our Balloon Builders collection but it's just larger enough so that the stamp can actually be stamped on this die cut. This die actually has a built in alignment tool for perfect stamping. To see our tutorial using a die with an alignment tool CLICK HERE.. This die is super fun to work with and looks so great with our die cut balloons especially when they are stamped with our new fun patterns!

Would you like to see a couple of projects I've made? Here are just a few to show you how wonderful these new products are!

In the card above I stamped the balloon string trio from the Balloon Builders stamp set right onto my card stock and layered on three balloon die cuts all of which were stamped with our new fabulous balloon stamps also from our Balloon Builders stamp set. LOVE that sentiment! A perfect, fun card for Valentine's Day, yes? YES!

The card above features our brand new Balloon String Die and three stamped die cuts. This is a small card which also uses our Stitched Mats: Squares. Another great sentiment too!

We are releasing a bunch more goodies today as well! Let's have a look!

In keeping with our balloon theme....introducing our new Mini Party Set! This set of thirteen individual dies comes neatly packaged on a magnetic sheet for neat and easy storage. You will notice that there are some repeat balloon dies in this set from our original Balloon Die set. They are just such a perfect mini size that it only made sense to repeat them. The nice thing about this is if you don't already own our Balloon Dies our new Balloon Builders stamp set also coordinates with this set. 

The new pieces in this set are pretty cool! You will receive a super mini balloon, a long skinny balloon and stitched balloon stick/string. Then, you will receive an entire set of mini party hats and the little decor pieces to dress them up. We've kept the cost of this set very affordable so that if you do already own our original Balloon Dies this will still be a fabulous addition to your die collection!

Next up is Bunny Star from 2 Cute Ink which is a mini stamp set featuring this adorable bunny image and star themed sentiments. It's perfect for teacher's cards or young children's birthday cards. Super cute! It has a mini price tag too!

Stirring in Lots of Love from Sugar Kissed Cottage is an adorable image of a young vintage inspired girl baking up something sweet for you! I just love the sweet and curly font we paired with this sweet image. This would be a great stamp set for cards for friends, to add to home made treats or even recipe cards! Love this!!

Eat Dessert First from Sugar Kissed Cottage is uber sweet too! It features a darling image of two young friends at the ice cream shop sharing a treat. It also uses the same sweet and curly font and has a great collection of sentiments!

Snarky Lady I is the first in a series of Snarky Ladies we'll be releasing. It features a demure and proper vintage lady but we couldn't resist pairing her with some snarky and humorous sentiments. This is a really fun set with a little sense of humor and I just love it!!! This is a perfect set to make just because cards with or humorous birthday cards!

I had so much fun with this set. Here are a couple of cards I made featuring this easy to color image in a clean and simple card style. Have a look....

Love that sentiment! A great just because card for a friend who needs a laugh!

Fun, right?

Also available (while supplies last) is this great little Love Story 6x6 Paper Pad from Echo Park! We thought this was a perfect set of papers to coordinate with our Sugar Kissed Cottage and 2 Cute Ink sets and we'll be featuring it throughout our hop this week!

So, through Wednesday our entire team will be posting fantastic projects to inspire you. I can't wait for you to get started on the hop. But before I send you on your way a few things....

Remember to leave our designers comments on their projects as you hop with us. I'll be picking one designer's blog as our secret prize blog from which I will draw our winners. Winners you ask? YES! We'll be giving away a $10 store credit to two lucky winners!

Everything that we're releasing this week is already stocked and available in our store HERE! And good news, our Winter Greetings Stamp Set and Snowflake Die Bundle will be available again in our store by Tuesday evening!
