Now, let's get on with my projects!
Sending Love Postcard
I used a number of stamps from 3 different sets to make a post-card full of love. The hand-lettered feel of the various sentiments really lends an authentic feel to it. The Postage Stamp Dies include a couple of stitched rectangles, and the smallest Postage Stamp die is (of course!) perfect as a stamp!
Rainbow Love
Stamps: Love is in the Air
Ink: Tiki Torch, Orange Twist, Tutti Frutti, Rockin Red, NEW Mystery Ink, Flirty Fuschia, Something Borrowed, Fiesta Blue, Aquatini, Lime Rickey, Melon Mist
Dies: Postage Stamp Dies, Love Die
Paper: Catherine Pooler White and Black
I used one edge of the largest Postage Stamp die to create a fun, bumpy border that these rainbow hearts nestle right into! These inks are so luscious and vibrant that I absolutely love using as many as I can to make a rainbow! I inlaid the love die.
Peacock Love
Stamps: Bon Voyage
Ink: Tiki Torch, Party Dress, Flirty Fuschia, NEW Mystery Ink, Black Jack
Dies: Bon Voyage Accoutrement Dies (Add-on to SOA Collection), Postage Stamp Dies
Paper: Catherine Pooler White, Smoke and Mirrors
I used the little geo tag stamp and die to create a frame for the Love banner (which is designed to fit on the hot air balloon stamp included in the set).
Be sure to visit Catherine's blog to see all the products in detail.

ReplyDeleteAmazing cards Ardyth x
ReplyDeleteWowsers... You are simply the best at thinking outside the box, or in this case, the postage-edge die. Who would have thought those sweet hearts would fit so well??!! And I'm calling the new mystery ink colour "bubble-gum" to myself, although it probably has more of a spa-like name, for reals. Thanks for explaining where the love-die comes from--I noticed it in a few other team-members cards. The peacock tails remind me of the old NBC icon. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards! I love how you used the heart in the postage die border!
