For my first project I used the oh so cute In the Clouds stamp set illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes collection. The sky's the limit for your projects using these adorable blimps and banners! Or maybe you're the clever stamper and you see a submarine or a rocket ship? This full-size set is filled with 25 images and sentiments with lots of fun possibilities. I started with patterned paper from the My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Fly a Kite collection. It provided the perfect backdrop for my little blimp and clouds. I stamped the blimp onto Choice Snow White cardstock, colored it with Copics, and cut it out using the coordinating Blimps & Banner die set. Oh... did I forget to mention that this set has super cute coordinating dies too!? I added the Cloud Duo dies and stamped a tiny cloud from the set throughout the background and the front was finished. It's not often that I also get around to decorating the inside of my card, but this card was begging for it with the perfect innie and outtie sentiment combo. Designing the inside of the card also gave me a chance to use the new Clouds Impression Plate and Cloud Border Die. Check out my video below (or click here) to see how I created the cloudy background on the inside of my card using the Clouds Impression plate. Here are the dies that I used on my card:
Step right up...come one come all! My second project uses Life is a Circus illustrated by Doug Applegate for the Apple Doodle Ink collection. So I have to tell you I'm not usually a big fan of clowns, but this one stole my heart! The juggling balls and the clown are two separate images so I started by stamping the clown in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copics. Then I used 4 different colors to ink up the juggling balls (Lime Pastel, Lipstick Red, Deep Lagoon, and Tangerine) and stamped those above the clown. The image is cut with Spellbinders Wonky Rectangles and sponged around the inside. The patterned paper is from the My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Fly a Kite collection. And I also used some new dies on this card too, the Seeing Stars die set and the Star Border die:
I'm already looking forward to sharing my projects for tomorrow, but in the meantime join me in hopping around to see what our amazing design team has created. Don't forget to leave comments along the way for a chance to win a gift certificate to the TE Store!
