Your Next Stamp July Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Your Next Stamp July new release blog hop.

Today we have an amazing blog hop to showcase so many fabulous stamps and die. Sit back, grab your favourite beverage and enjoy this month's inspiration. 

This month is packed full of cuteness. There are so many sweet animals and I am excited to be showcasing all animals for my hop projects today. Since we are now into summer I went all out with bring fun colours to go with my adorable stamps.

My first card was made using the adorable HAPPY DANCE. This little guy just makes me want to dance for sure. I had fun matching the colours from the Echo Park paper (Summer Bliss) to the spots on my lizard. Not a fan of most reptiles, but in stamp form, they can come into my house any day.

I kept this card simple and layered with a few die cuts of the SCRAPWORKS STRIPS die and added GUMDROPS from one of the newer multi packs (Mermaid Fun and Neon Sunrise).

I kept inside free so this card can be used for a number of occasions.

Here is a look at the stamp set used for this card. There is also a coordinating die available.

 

My second card features a 'tweet' bird from a set called SOARING BY. I used the coordinating die and showcased the bird on a background cut with the STITCHING CIRLES AND CIRCLE DIE.

Parrots are bright and beautiful, so I wanted to have fun with creating a multi coloured look to my birds feathers.

Here is a look at the inside of my card.

I decide to create an "It's a Girl" card. The image is coloured with Copic marker.

Some Bunny Loves You

I had the chance to take a break this weekend from crafty commitments to play along with a few challenges this week. It's been a while for this.

This is my first Easter card of the season and I used one of the adorable image from Kraftin' Kimmie designed by Cheryl Alger called Somebunny Loves you.

I love the bright colours in the Lawn Fawn 6x6 paper pad called Hello Sunshine. I created a little tag that can be tucked away behind the image.

The image in coloured with Copic markers.

Inside the card I decorated with more coordinating paper and added the circle die cut to hold my sentiment (which unfortunately is a bit off centre.....oops)!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will come back soon. Happy crafting.

Tracy
