My Favorite Things–Countdown Day 1!

Hello!  It’s me again!  LOL

We’re oh so very close to the My Favorite Things July Release!!  Today, we’re sharing the last of the July Release products, and they are pretty freakin’ amazing!!  My project features the Sketchy Flowers Stamp Set and coordinating Dies, the All About You Stamp Set, as well as the Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips Die-Namics.

I didn’t have a chance to play with the Sketchy Flowers Stamp Set when it was included in the May Card Kit, as I was up to my eyeballs in traveling and visitors!  So I was super excited to express my creativity with these amazing stamps and dies.  It’s such a beautiful set!  Here’s how I created my project:

1. Trim an A2, horizontal, top-folding card base from Smooth White Card Stock.  Score at 4.25”, fold in half and perfect the crease with a Teflon Bone Folder.
2. Die cut an image panel from Smooth White Card Stock using Blueprints 20 Die-Namics.
3. Using a Mini Ink Blending Tool, lightly blend some Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Inks onto the image panel, focusing the blended area to the lower right corner.
4. Stamp the images from the Sketchy Flowers Stamp Set onto Smooth White Card Stock, using Black Licorice Hybrid Ink, Peach Bellini Hybrid Ink, Coral Crush Hybrid Ink, Sno Cone Hybrid Ink, Blu Raspberry Hybrid Ink, Limelight Hybrid Ink, and Sour Apple Hybrid Ink.  Die cut the images using the coordinating Sketchy Flowers Die-Namics.
5. Die cut a picket fence (using the Picket Fence Die-Namic) from Smooth White Card Stock.
6. Stamp the sentiment from the All About You Stamp Set onto some Sno Cone Card Stock using Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink.  Heat emboss the sentiment with White Embossing Powder.  Die cut the sentiment using the Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips Die-Namics.
7. Arrange and assemble the flower die cuts, the picket fence die cut, and the sentiment strip, and adhere it all together with foam squares.  Adhere the image panel to the card base using more foam squares.
