A few cards from the new Catalogue

These were some of the cards I had originally made for the ILWS Blog Hop, but couldn't load, so I was forced to use one of my drafts, that I always save for if I'm stuck, and just changed the wording.

Anyway, this first card would be perfect for my brother who is probably on of Starbucks best customers. It uses the new Perfect Blend stamp set,

This card uses the great large stamp called Wildflower Meadow coloured with Stampin' Color Marker pens  direct onot the stamp and stamping onto Whisper White Cardstock, matting a slightly larger rectangle of Quadrefancy Specialty DSP onto Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock.  I also had a fantastic fun time playing with the new Simply Pressed Clay and Button and Blossom molds. I created the 3 flower embellishments in the top right corner with the Blossom Mold, then I used a Sponge Dauber and Bermuda Bay ink to ink the pretty Clay embellishments. For the greeting, I used another new Hostess Stamp set called Sweetly Framed. I layered a line of the red Sticky Strip with Dazzling Diamonds glitter for a sweet sparkle.

Keep Crafting,
