Clearly Besotted – The Graduate.

Back again today with another little peek at the one of the new stamp sets being released at Clearly Besotted Stamps this month.  The release has been slightly delayed by a few days so all the new products will be available to purchase on 10th May at 10pm.

The set I’m highlighting today is called The Graduate and features two main text block images and some accessory images to compliment them.  I think you’re going to love it!  Here’s my card:

I immediately thought of the chalkboard effect when I saw this set so I have heat embossed one of the text stamps in white and rubbed a bit of white pigment ink around it to add to the look.  I’ve also used the new Diagonal Stripes stamp set (such a brilliant set – have been itching to get my hands on this!).  Of course there is an accompanying die collection for The Graduate to make cutting out those images easy peasy.

Make sure you head on over to Steph’s blog and to the rest of the design team for more inspiration.

Clearly Besotted May Release teaser time!

Hello!  Today is the (slightly delayed) start of the May release sneaky peaks over at Clearly Besotted Stamps.  And although we may have made you wait a few days longer this month – I think you’re going to agree that it’s worth the wait!

Today I’m featuring my personal favourite of this month’s sets – Love Blossoms.  I love the oriental feel of this design and the three-step options for the blossoms too.  I’ve got two cards which are a variation of each other really.

congrats love blossoms

I’ve used a few other CBS sets here too (see the diagonal stripes peeking out??).

You can see more stunning designs from my gorgeous teamies (link over on Steph’s blog) and the wonderful Mayuri who is guesting along with us this month – yay!!

Hoppy Easter!!

So I FINALLY got a chance to play with the Mama Elephant Honey Bunny stamp set – and I’m in love!  They are so cute aren’t they?  I created some tags to go with the Easter gifts I made this year for all the children in the family – all 14 of them!!!  I bought some cone treat bags and filled them with orange Millions and some other sweeties and then tied them with scraps of green ribbon.  I also made a card with the bunnies and some dies from Taylored Expressions – the picket fence die, the grass border the cloud dies and flower box dies.  Don’t they all go together perfectly?

I don’t usually show so many photos of a project but got a bit carried away with this one!!  Also, there is a challenge going on over at the Mama Elephant blog at the moment with a cool graphic for inspiration:  I thought the pale blue, green and yellow shades reminded me of the colours in the picture.
