Welcome to the April New Release Blog Hop for Your Next Stamp!!!

This month's release is AMAZING!!! I love every bit of it! Cute critters, coffee themed paper, and awesome, versatile dies... everything I dream of in a release! :)

 

For my first project, I colored up the adorable chameleon from the new One In A Chameleon Stamp Set. I love the "one in a chameleon" sentiment, and thought it would make for a cute Father's Day Card. So, I cut out the letters D-A-D from the new Alphabet Die, and added them above the stamped sentiment. This die set is going to get so much use in my card making!! I love being able to personalize sentiments!

   

  

Chameleon - YG17, YG25, YG03, YG01, YG00

Eyes - C0, C00, BG0000

  

Up next, I have a cute little gift set using the new Scratch Pad Stamps and Dies. I've been making these little half notepads as gifts for years, and I knew this stamp set would be perfect for one! I might make a bunch of these for Teacher Appreciation Week at the kiddos school, but I think they would also be a really cute product for those of you that do craft fairs!

   

  

I cut the outline of the cats three times from heavy cardstock, and glued all the layers together to make sure the tails wouldn't bend since they are peeking over the top of the pad. I added a matching pen, and tied it on, along with a tag from the new Cool Tag Die Set, and it's ready to give away!

   

  

Brown Cats - E25, E23, E31

Yellow Cat - YR23, YR21, Y32, E50
