Monogrammed – Clearly Besotted May Release

I’m back again today with another little glimpse of what’s to come for the month of May at Clearly Besotted Stamps.  Have you been enjoying the sneaks so far?  Today I have a card featuring the new Monogrammed set of stamps and co-ordinating dies.  I’ve been at it again with the gold Delicata inkpad (can’t express how much I love this ink) and a gold Wink of Stella pen for some added bling!  I achieved the bands by masking off areas of the card but I wasn’t that happy with the bold look of it and went over it with a water brush to give a more water-coloured effect.

monogramme d and j Oh, and if you’re wondering – D and J are my mum and dad!!

I’ll be back tomorrow with another card but in the meantime please go and check out Stephanie and the rest of the design team and our gorgeously talented guestie Mayuri for lots more CBS inspiration.

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

love blossoms birthday

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!!
