Paper craft project no. 459: Trendy Leaves 2

    

Today we're officially releasing another new STAMPlorations stamp set: Trendy Leaves 2. This stamp set comes with coordinating CUTplorations dies -- yay! :o) We've got a mini hop for it -- hop on over the blog and leave a comment on the special stamp release post, as well as on the participating designers blogs for a chance to win this set.


To showcase this set, I made 3 cards:


Card #1: Grateful Beyond Words
Pretty simple one layer card. I stamped the leaves in coffee archival ink all over the card base, leaving a little room for the sentiment (Grateful Beyond Words) and then sponging Distress inks on the top part of the card and through a stencil (Art Splatters).



Card #2: Happy
I admit I got a little too diecut and layer happy with this one ;o) I cut a panel using the largest stitched rectangle die from the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting dies then stamped the leaves before cutting up the panel using the new Stitched Snow Hill edge dies and then adhering to my card base. Then  diecut and stamped a few leaves, as well as diecut two Happy.



Card #3: Thanks
For this last card, I played with my sticker labels. I stamped the leaves onto a sheet of 4x2 labels (10 in a sheet) watercolored them with Kuretaki Gansai Tambi watercolors. When the sheet was dry, I peeled off two labels and stuck them to my card base. I added some stitching and then hand-lettered the THANKS with a black Sharpie marker.


Check out what Lynne, Carol, Asmah, and MariLynne created using Trendy Leaves 2 -- leave a comment here, on their blogs, and on the STAMPlorations blog by Friday and you could win this set :o) And until September 13, Trendy Leaves 2 is 10% off.

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to smile :o)
