July Release Blog Hop Day 1


Hi there!!!!!!! Even though we had a release last month it feels like it's been FOREVER!!!!!! How is everyone?
I'm here to show off our new stamps and dies are you ready for a peek?


First up is a new set I've called Animal Doctors.


How cute is this?? It features doctors or surgeons and a nurse - all animals and all super cute and they're here to make you feel all better! I've also included several supporting images all of which can be used to make the greatest get well cards. Some of the sentiments were hand illustrated and then the smaller type sentiments can be paired with the hand illustrated ones for the perfect greetings. 

Pair our Animals Doctors Stamps with their coordinating Animal Doctors Die Set. It was designed to cut out all of the main and supporting images in the set perfect and with ease!


Ahhhhhhh, our Scooter Balloons Stamps......I worked SO HARD on this set with our illustrator and I'm so happy with the way it turned out. It features a scooter stamp, which happens to be heading right at you so you see the front fender and trailing behind and above are a group of three balloons each with its own special message. We've also included a couple of small, but coordinating phrases to make a complete greeting. 


Here is a Scooter Balloon Die Set which will cut out perfectly our scooter and it's balloon messages! I recommend stamping your balloons first then die cutting and then stamping in your scooter. It's how I got the best results during my crafty time. I was able to stamp in the scooter onto the die cut perfectly using my MISTI stamping tool.


Here is the latest in the collection of Quilted Stitched Dies. Quilted Stitched So Stylish is done in a bold and, ha, stylish design. Do you love it? I do! The pattern resembles little bursting stars, don't you think? You are going to love this way this die stitches this pattern into your card fronts with just one pass through your die cutting machine. It's got the be the BEST way to easily add pattern and texture to your paper crafted projects.



Our Perfect Palette Die could be described as a geometric basic, but it can be used for so many different things. You might even say it resembles an eye shadow palette which is where it got it's name. This die cuts a rounded rectangle .25" smaller than an A2 card base making it a perfect layering piece for card fronts. It also cuts away twelve perfect circles. These circles can be used for other projects and the windows they leave behind can be used to spotlight or highlight images behind them. This is a fun one and I think will prove even more important to your crafting collection once you've had a chance to play with it.
It was designed with this next stamp set in mind called Spiffy Spots. It's the perfect companion!!!


Our Spiffy Spots Stamp Set is a set of 17 Stamps. It features these intricate and interestingly drawn circles in many sizes that are so fun to stamp with. I wonder if my Design Team will remember how long they've had this in their "To Be Released Pile"? When I looked back at my manufacturer's invoice these have been in their hands since March-ish....2017!!!!!!!!! YIKES!!!!!!!!! Why did I wait so long??? I honestly have NO IDEA because this is fabulous and fun to work with. Most of the circles in the set can be stamped and shown right through the windows of our Perfect Palette Die. I've also included a couple of cute but simple greetings. Some of these stamp right into the circles on the palette die and some will be perfect stamped on a little scrap and layered over your design. Lots of possibilities here. Love this!!!

Would you like to see some samples I made using some of the things from your new release? I have three projects to share with you today using our new Spiffy Spots Stamps and more!


This first card couldn't be any easier to make. I simply took a spot stamp from the set and stamped it horizontally across my card front and then heat embossed the thank you sentiment from the set right over it. This came together so quickly and easily and this would be a perfect design to mass produce using the different sentiments in the set so that you could have a bunch for different occasions on hand. I used my Fresh Inks which are the most fab inks I've ever stamped with!!!!


For my next project I stared with a watercolor paper base and I used my Zig Real Brush Markers and an aqua brush to paint the circles you see. Then, once this was dry I heat embossed some of the spots from the set right over some of the circles. Then, I used my Hello Word Die Set to create the layered but simple hello greeting you see. I'm obsessed with how this turned out.


I might love this card the most. I started with a white square base and I used the flat side of some of the stamps in the set to create the circles you see. They were easily achieved with an ombré ink from Hero Arts. I love that these are imperfectly shaped circles. It give this such a happy feel. Then, using four circles cut from our Perfect Palette Die I stamped one of the images in block on each and then adhered them as shown on foam tape. I heat embossed the greetings sentiment and glued the strip over my raised circles.

What do you think? YES!! These are SO FUN TO PLAY WITH!!!!!
