So glad you’ve joined us for the 2nd day of inspiration from the Gina K May release!
First up is a set by Tami Mayberry called Dreams. It is a beautiful collection of frames (square, rectangle, oval) and sentiments to be placed inside along with a few smaller accent images. I’m sure you’ll find endless ways to use this set. I have made a card to highlight our new Just Peachy pure luxury cardstock, pairing it with one of my favorite cuttlebug embossing folders, Leafy Branches.
Here is a close up of the coloring of the branches the little bird is perched on. I stamped the image with London fog memento ink and used a copic marker for the blooms and put star dust stickles on them for some sparkle. I finished off the card with some white organdy ribbon.
Here is a picture of the whole set so you can see what you get for $23.95. The set is made of high quality rubber, die cut and already mounted on cling foam. It also comes on a storage sheet and has an image sheet for your reference. All you have to do is put it on an acrylic block and you’re ready to stamp away!
Next up is an adorable set by Rupa called Birthday Bash with the cutest puppy, bears, bunny, turtle and mouse just begging to celebrate a birthday with you! I used the cute puppy on my card and colored him with copic markers. I used the Happy Birthday cuttlebug embossing folder and Echo Park papers A Walk in the Park. I thought it would be fun to punch various circles from coordinating cardstock and frame the corner of the focal image. I embellished with an orange button with pink cotton thread and a smidgeon of brown stitched ribbon.
To the right is the full set for you to see what you will get for
$23.95. Be sure to hop around all the blogs of the designers sharing creations with us today and leave a comment for your chance to win a stamp set valued $24.95 or less! Winners will be announced on Gina's blog – see you tomorrow for Day 3!!
