MY CARDS:
I had so much fun playing with some of the STAMPtember exclusive products! First up is this beautiful die set called, Spindle Flower. I die cut all the pieces from white cardstock and used some pretty ink colors to shade-in the different floral pedals.
Next up is the Gliding Butterflies embossing folder and die set. I used ink blending for a rainbow effect with some gold accents.
My third card showcases the Patterned Circles stencil. More rainbow colors for a sweet, happy hello!
This next card features two new products. The Wonky Trapezoid cling stamp and the Holiday Typewriter sentiment stamp set. Now, I know a trapezoid isn't really a holiday image, but when you use a deep burgundy color and pair it with gold, I think it works!
Okay, here's my last card. To be honest, I don't make very many Halloween cards but this set is amazing! It's called Friendly Ghosts and comes with matching dies! It is so much fun to play with and I love how this card turned out! Those ghost are the cutest!
That's it for me! I hope I've given a few ideas for using some of the products from this amazing, STAMPtember release!
Enjoy the rest of the blog party and Happy STAMPtember!!!
