For today's creation, I have a CAS card to share with you using Piggy Bath and a sentiment from the To The Beach set. I don't have much stamping time these days so this really is all I can pull off : / I actually rather like how it turned out considering that I'm terrible at CAS cards.

Hope you've enjoyed this month's new release!!

For today's showcase, I've created a card using the new Wee Stamps Mountain Lilly and a sentiment from the Definitions Notables 4 set which was cut out out then framed by the Dainty Notables 4 die (also new). It's been a while since I've used my WOC flowers so I generously added some on both sides. The vines were cut using the Vines Die Set and the fence that you see behind the flowers and vines were cut using the Picket Fence Die. Sometimes when I write out these sentiment and die names, it just makes me realize how terrible I am at naming products, lol. At least they're self-explanatory :) The edges of the card were inked a bit using Cat's Eye chalk ink.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Stamps: Whimsy Stamps Mountain Lilly, Definitions Notables 4 set; Dies: Whimsy Stamps Dainty Notables 4 die, Vines Die Set, Picket Fence Die; Coloring medium: Copics on Make It Colour blending card; Embellishments: WOC flowers; Tools: Cuttlebug

Whimsy Stamps July Release Showcase Day 3

Hello and welcome to Day 3 of our

June Rubber & Die Release Showcase!

Ann Vento (me!)

For today's showcase, I've created a simple card using the Take Flight Sentiments and the Kites Dies Set. I have fond memories of flying kites with my older brother when we were kids and so I'm a bit biased about this set. It really does remind me of summer and all the fun that comes with it :)

Oh and sorry about the terrible construction! The ivory piece of paper in the middle was wonky and I didn't realize it until I took the picture : /

Stamps: Whimsy Stamps Take Flight Sentiments; Dies: Whimsy Stamps Kites Dies Set; Paper: My Mind's Eye Bright Side; Embellishments/Tools/other: macrame braid trim, Cuttlebug, Tim Holtz edge distresser
