August Release - Festive Phrases

Hello!

I am back with our final stamp set from the new release which will be available to buy from tomorrow.  It is an absolute essential set which you will already have seen pop up on a number of our designs this week!  Festive Phrases is an A5 set packed full of christmas greetings and sentiments in a range of styles and sizes.  Some of them are big enough to be a fun focal point on your cards which is perfect for making quick christmas cards with impact.

Here are a few examples:

When combined with our new Let it Snow papers, these sentiments can make quick and simple christmas cards.  I combined it here with a few of our mdf snowflake embellishments.

I white heat embossed the sentiment on vellum and placed it behind one of our fabulous girls from She is Fierce.  I added the holly from our Christmas Characters to her hair!  The Scandi Snowflakes were clear heat embossed in the background.

I simply put gold glitter paste through our large Polka Dots stencil for the background and combined it with one of the large sentiments.  

Here is the set:

This is a super versatile set - I hope that you like it!  The rest of the DT also have wonderful festive projects to share with you so please check out their blogs and insta posts.

August Stamp Release - Elegant Ornaments

Hello!

Today is the 4th day of introducing our new stamp sets which will be available to buy from Saturday.  We are continuing with our christmas theme and today I am delighted to share some samples made using Elegant Ornaments - this set of 5 large ornaments are full of delicate details and will help to create christmas cards with real impact!

Here is what I mean:

I used the ornaments with gilding flakes across the front of a slimline card.  The flakes picked up the lovely detail.

I white heat embossed the star ornament on to kraft for a simple rustic look.

I gold heat embossed the baubles on to red card and placed them over a stencilled background using our pine needles stencil.

I hope you like these stamps:

The reindeer in this set is just the cutest thing :)  Also the christmas trees have been made using our Let it Snow papers that I showed you yesterday.

Here is the cute angel from the set simple combined with a scattering of the stars.  More of the patterned paper is used at the bottom of the card!

I paper pieced the wonderful christmas trees from the set with papers from Let it Snow.

Introducing our August Stamp Release - Filigree Flakes

Hello!

I am back for the second day of our introductions to the five new stamp sets that we will be releasing on Saturday :)  Now we are going to start getting festive - even though it is July, are you ready for some snowfall??  Our Filigree Flakes stamp set features a range of elegant and delicate snowflakes - I love using them as a focal point or an accent on lots of designs.  

We also have a new paper pad to accompany our christmas stamps - Let it Snow is a contemporary range of christmas themed papers in gorgeous teals, aquas, pinks and mustards.  I really love them and hope that you will too :)

Let me share some examples:

I simply stamped a snowflake wreath in bright non-traditional christmas colours.

I melted some ultra thick embossing powder and stamped the snowflake in to it and dusted with perfect pearls to get the gold shimmer.  This was adhered to a background brayered with acrylic paints and background stencilling.

I gold heat embossed the snowflakes over some of the patterned paper and added a sentiment from another set in the release.

Here are the new products:

 

The rest of the DT have wonderful snowy inspiration to share with you today too!

Introducing our August Stamp Release - Day 1: Gamer

Hello!

I always love being able to share new stamp designs with you and we have a fab release coming out on 1 August.  It is mainly Christmas designs but today's set isn't :)  Gamer is an A6 stamp set packed with gaming related images and sentiments including space invaders!  They are perfect for those boys/girls who love their online games.  As the mum of two teenage boys I know that they will be very useful for me!  Also the headphones are perfect for music lovers too :)

Here are a couple of examples of the types of thing you can make with this fab set:

I stamped the icons from the set into some of the apertures from our Blockade stencil and added a heat embossed controller on foam tape. Quick and easy but the ink blending on the stencil adds some visual depth.

I went grungy for this design using a gelli printed background (using our Number Scramble mask).  I stamped the headphones and coloured them with a bit of white paint to give them definition against the background.  I stamped images from our Distressed Elements stamp set round the outside in grey ink.

Grungy or CAS this stamp set can be used in so many different ways....

I hope that you like it!

The rest of the DT have been working their magic with this set too:
