Clearly Besotted: Countdown Teaser, Day 5 - Release Day!

Hi Everyone,

Today is the Clearly Besotted April Release.  April New Products Coming on 1st April at 8pm (BST) UK Time.  What's on your list?

I loved working with these stamps so much!  I really enjoyed coloring up these cuties.  I used the sentiment form An Open Book and the images are from Bedtime Story.  I also think the images would be perfect for Halloween cards.

I used the Sunny Day Stencil as a soft background.  It is inked using Tattered Rose Distress Oxide ink, which is one of my all time favorite Distress Oxides.

I always like coloring ALL of the images in a new stamp set and piling them up on a card the best way I can.  I think of it as a challenge and I always like getting my monies worth, so I try to use every single stamp :)  I just paired the images as best I could and placed them around the book.  I used the sentiment "It's never too late to live happily ever after"  because I liked the uplifting message.

For the different fur colors I used the following copic markers
- YR0000, YR000, YR00, YR01, YR02
- E50, E51
- R00, R01

I truly enjoyed sharing the cards I made for this release.  Thank you so much Clearly Besotted for inviting me to play with these awesome stamps!  I loved seeing what the design team made, it is so fun to see everyones different take and style.  Please take a peek at their gorgeous creations:

Clearly Besotted: Countdown Teaser, Day 1

Hi Everyone! Rina here, guesting for one of my favorite companies, Clearly Besotted .  I sure ADORE their plushy stamps and all of their cute images, and SCENES.  I absolutely had a blast making this fun shaker card.  I know we are all dreaming of spring, but I do love making some fun winter cards. These sea babies are the cutest, I feel like I love the manatee the most (which, I thought was a walrus but I digress, LOL). This stamp set is called "Sea You Plushies" and will be available on April 1st on the Clearly Besotted online store and Simon Says Stamp. I love that there are 2 of each animal.  Of course I like using all the stamps.  Which is your favorite? Its super easy to make a fun shaker frame by taking a basic rectangle die smaller than your card base and making a frame.  I like to make sure the double sided foam tape I am using fits easily onto my frame.  I filled my shaker with some leftover white foam balls from the holidays....

Pretty Pink Posh - Product Release Blog Hop - Day 2

Love this jam packed release filled with adorable critters, options for mothers and fathers day cards, graduations...a fabulous A2 sized Lattice die and great NEW stencils! I used the following new products on my card today: https://prettypinkposh.com/collections/whats-new/products/elephant-friends-stamp-set https://prettypinkposh.com/collections/whats-new/products/mothers-day-stamp-set https://prettypinkposh.com/collections/whats-new/products/wide-stripes-stencil I wanted to create a different look using the Wide Stripes stencil by placing the stripes at the diagonal.  I created a pink themed stripe look with Distress Oxide ink in Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry.  I cut down my striped panel with the Scallop Borders Dies to make room for my Happy Mother's Day sentiment from the Mothers Day Stamp Set. I hope you like my card and give these cool stencils a try.  It makes a great pattern paper look that you can customize perfectly with your...

Mama Elephant's #celebrating6years Anniversary Event

Happy Anniversary Mama Elephant!! This release is super SPECTACULAR and I was so happy to work with the Cool Penguins stamp set!  The set comes with the most adorable penguins getting ready to wrap some holiday gifts.  I used the Basic Rectangles die set to create a window opening as these penguin friends are going to wrap their gifts together.  I also really adore the sentiment that comes with the stamp set. I wanted to keep the coloring super simple on this card and used a few light colored Copic markers.  My favorite Copics are the ones that end in 0000 and 000 because I can achieve a light almost watercolor look.   Here are the colors I used: B00, RV02, RV23, YR00, YR000 To finish off the card I wanted to add the star banner from the  Sentiments from a Yeti  stamp set, its one of my all time favorite stamps.  The set also comes with a banner that is oh so cute.  I love stars on a background and used t...
