June Release BONANZA!!!!!

Hahahahaha. The word bonanza makes me giggle but it felt entirely right for this post because..........

NOT ONLY are we launching our new release today....

We are also HAVING A SALE AND you can earn a FREE Cover Up Die: Diamond Chevron, from our new June release, with purchase!!!

But first, let's talk about the new items available in the store today!!

Here's a look at everything we're releasing...

Our new Blossoms & Banners Stamps are fun, don't you think? You'll receive three banner images each featuring a different layout of florals and the sentiments included will stamp right inside your banner and we've got you covered for several different occasions here. I think you'll really enjoy this set!

Of course, we've given you a Blossoms & Banners Die Set so that everything can be cut out easily and perfectly every time!

Lovely & Sweet Stamps are among some of my favorites from this release.  I really love this great, big focal greeting, but I love it even more because I can customize what it says. For example, I can stamp all three of the main pieces in the set for a greeting that reads "You are lovely and sweet" or I can shorten it and have it read "You are sweet". There are lots of combinations and possibilities here. You'll also enjoy the little extras we included to really make your greeting unique.

Our new Jar of Flowers Stamps is definitely a fun one! You will love the perfectly sized little mason jar included in this set which we included in both solid and outlined images which can work together or separately. My favorite stamps in the set are the two shadow stamps included for the jar which really make it come to life! Stay with me. I'm going to feature this set today so I'll point out the stamps for you. Of course the flowers are lovely as well and provide you lots of different options for two step stamping here too. This is a terrific set! I love love love the font I included here which I think really gives this set a sweet but rustic feel.

Of course, we've given you a Jar of Flowers Die Set so that all of your coordinating stamp elements can be perfectly cut out every time!

Oh. YES. WE. DID!!! Animals in their skivvies!!!! AAAAhahahahaha!!!! I had this idea and our illustrator REALLY made my vision come to life in the funniest way and thus I'll Be Brief Stamps were born. Rhino, Bear and Alligator are all in their briefs and they're paired with sentiments that say "I'll be brief. Happy Birthday".  So, right to the point but in a totally funny way. We also included a women's and a men's pair of underwear...well....because I just HAD TO!!! HAHAHA!!! Notice the little bow in this set? I thought we could easily make the characters more feminine by adding a bow to their head as an accessory.

Of course, we've given you a coordinating I'll Be Brief Die Set so that each of the images is perfectly cut out. You'll notice that there is only one underwear die and that's because each of the men's and women's drawers will cut out with the same die.

OH THIS DIE!!!! I love love love love it!! Quilted Stitched Basket Weave is the perfect new addition to our Quilted Stitched Collection. It cuts these alternating hash marks into your card fronts and it's the perfect way to add texture and visual interest to all your cards in the easiest way possible.

Whoops Word Die!!! The perfect little word die for so many occasions! You definitely need this one in your collection! 

This new Whoops Stamp Set really comes to life with the coordinating word die and is perfect for having to send an apology card or if by chance you missed a friend's birthday. Love this!!!

Last but not least is our Cover Up Die: Diamond Chevron which is perfect to add a cool and maybe even masculine texture to cards easily. It's also neat because you can use the pieces that cut away for different projects as well. Experiment and fall in love!!!

Okay - how about some projects????????

As mentioned above, I'm going to focus on the Jar of Flowers Stamps and Jar of Flowers Dies.

I. Love. This. Card. I LOVE IT!!!! I feel like it's a sweet little notecard from a boutique paper store!! And I think the reason I feel this way is because of the new inks I've been using. I bought a bunch of Fresh Inks (pigment inks) from Impress Cards and Crafts and they are literally better than any other inks I've ever used. The colors are so vibrant and they sit on top of the paper instead of sinking in so they stay true. 

Here I started by stamping my jar right onto my square card base which has been die cut with the largest die in our Silly Stitched Squares Die Set. Then, and it's hard to see in this photo because it's a subtle detail but there is a shadow stamp I added to the bottom inside the jar which really give this depth. Then, I got to stamping my flowers with my Fresh Inks and then die cut with my coordinating Jar of Flowers Dies.

For this project I also used my new Cover Up Die: Diamond Chevron. I love that it adds a fun, but subtle pattern in the background in white on white. I repeated the process here with my flowers and jar but instead of going right to paper everything was diecut and added to my aqua base. My sentiment is stamped in black. Isn't this fun? I used the shadow stamp at the bottom of the jar again here too.

These supplies were really fun to work with! I love them!!
