I'm playing along with this month's DT Dare at Your Next Stamp, and it's all about the BLUES!

  Shades of blue, that is!!

   We were challenged to use the newly released goodies, and create something with the color blue.

 

As soon as I saw it, I wanted to use the cute whale from the new Totally Narly set with this whale print paper from the Doodlebug Anchors Aweigh pad! They are meant for each other!! I broke up the whale print by overlaying the new Wavy Panel Die in a bright blue. I covered one section in white cardstock, stamped with the sentiment in Blueberry Breeze Ink.

Welcome to the YNS May New Release celebration!!

I have had a blast playing with this month's release!! The die sets in this release, and the Seas The Day 6x6 Paper Pad are some of my new favorites!!

There are so many fun goodies to share with you, so let's get started!!

   

On my first card, I really wanted to focus on the Porthole and Anchor Die Set... it's so fun!!! I paired it with the anchor print paper from Seas the Day, and some red striped paper from my stash. The anchor is tied on with burlap twine, and I added some Sugar White Gumdrops to the holes around the porthole. That cute sentiment is from the new Yo Ho Ho set.

   

  

Up next, I've featured the cute policeman from the new Freeze set. Lots of fun sentiments in this set, but I thought the simple "Thank You" was nice! I also used more of the Seas the Day Paper, coordinating Gumdrops, and the new Rounded Squares Piercing Die Set. I sponged some Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink behind the image to help him stand out.

Welcome to the April New Release Blog Hop!!

There are lots of cute new products to share with you, so lets get right to it!

  

I've made 2 cards for the hop... up first is a simple little card using the new One in a Melon stamp set.

I've featured the green striped paper from the new Watermelon Party 6x6 Paper Pad, paired with last month's Raindrop Die to make my card resemble a slice of watermelon! Quick and smple, with a cute punny sentiment!!

  

  

    

My second card is another fairly simple design featuring an adorable mouse from the Flowers and Smiles set. I colored this cutie up on kraft cardstock using my Prismacolor Pencils, and paired it with some paper from the Geometrics Paper Pad. I also added a few Neon Sunrise Gumdrops, and yep, another punny sentiment! :)
