Oval Hoops Die Set

I could not wait to get my hands on these new little hoops.  I literally set my alarm!

I've loved working with the hoops from Altenew and The Stamp Market but the cool thing about these is they are oval, little, three of them in the set and they have that all important backing piece! 

I used the largest of the hoops on this card; it is about 2" x 3"- ish.  I stamped and colored the 

floral piece and then centered the hoop backing piece over it and die cut.  I stamped the same floral image all over the back piece in light pink ink.  The sentiment is in the floral set.

The scallop rectangle is from Scallop A2 Card Frames.

There are a LOT of new products this month.  I've got a few to show you today, but be sure to head over to Spellbinders to see them all.

Both of these cards are made with the new Color Block Balloons Dies, It's Party Time stamp set and the Party Spots Embossing Folder.  I really love this folder and will be using it over and over again!

The above card also uses the flower die from Painted Blooms Etched Dies.

Paint Your Dreams Slimline Card

I'm still loving this Paint Your World Collection, especially this bigger paint brush with the daisies.  

This is a slimline card and I rarely make these, but the paintbrush was the perfect size  for one!

I colored the leaves and flowers with Copic markers and added a few springs in gold cardstock.  The background is the Splatter Embossing Folder and I lightly wiped a white ink pad over the raised dots.  I tied a piece of twine to the handle and added the embossed sentiment.

Howdy Gnomie, There Are New Add-On Dies for This Month!

There's a new cowboy in town.  Cowboy Gnomes, that is!  

This month's addition to the gnome line is Cowboy Add-Ons, just in time for the county fairs and rodeos - at least out here in the wild, wild west!

This cowboy with his lasso has a new hat, mustache, sheriff badge and cowboy boots.  He is sitting on piece of hay from a new coordinating set called Farm Scenic Dies.

As a reminder, you do need the Gnome Dies to go with these Add Ons. 

There is a new sentiment set for these guys called Howdy Gnomie.

Picked Fresh Basket of Flowers

 Sometimes when I'm stamping, I cut extras for mixing and matching later and I'm often pleasantly surprised at what goes together. The Greetery's Lovely Blossoms and Layered Leaves for instance.  Although you could probably make a bouquet from almost any flower and leaf combo, I wouldn't have necessarily pulled both of these out to make a card. 

The baskets are from the Market Basket Dies.  It is a set of three sizes of baskets, handles and liners.  I've used the medium and small here. I've used the basket liners on this card, because my stems were pretty short, but you can use them with or without.  

Aren't those little handles just the cutest!!

The Picked Fresh sentiment is from the itty bitty Market Basket Sentiments.

Cafe All Day

It's been a while since I made a coffee card.  

This is one of my favorite coffee sets from My Favorite Things called Cafe All Day.  I looked on the website as I was getting ready to blog this and all there is now is the die set.  It is super cute all by itself, but it looks like the stamp set has been discontinued, which is a big bummer cuz I love this one. 😡

Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month

I'm excited to now be apart of the Embossing Folder of the Month too!  

I love texture on my cards and for a while, embossing folders were going away.  But they are back, and bigger than ever...literally!  Spellbinders Embossing Folders are 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 so they accommodate cards of several sizes including slimline cards!

I've used this months folder called Botanical Diamond with my Add To Cart Too Collection that launched last month.

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month For June

It is a new month so it is time for a new Large Die of the Month from Spellbinders!

This month is a bit of a step back in time with a paisley set called Paisley Dreams.

There are three choices of paisley design centers and I chose the flowers.  It also has the flower as a separate die, so it made layering a breeze.  I lightly colored green in the leaf pattern and colored the flower centers with Copic markers.

Hello is in this die set too and it is also colored with Coptic markers.

Paisley Dreams is a 17 piece set of cutting dies.

Insides and outsides of paisley designs, a strip for a sentiment, hello, flowers, centers and leaves all to use as one big mosaic style card or individually and I've done here.
