 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:

"Love Script"

The mini stamp set we have for you this month is
"Big Cupcake"

 

Today's set is a fun one.  I have two cards to show you, and I could have come up with more if I had more time.  Here is the set:

Both cards today are really CAS, particularly the first one.  I have been enjoying using sequins lately, and when I saw the set this is the first idea that came to me:

I started with stamping and trimming out the cloud and the sentiment.  Its difficult to see in the picture, but I also had a kraft panel popped up on foam tape.  I added the cloud with more foam tape, and some sequins adhered with Glossy Accents.

Once the sequins were dry I added the sentiment, then decided more was needed so I added some lines with a white gel pen.

The centre consists of a white panel stamped with the sentiment and some rain drops.

The second card is still CAS, but had a bit more detail:

I stamped the boots first, then the sentiment so that I could get the placement just right.  I coloured the image, then added some patterned scraps and twine.  Once the panel was adhered to the card front I added some Glossy Accents to the boots.

The centre is similar to the first card:

This set is perfect for spring!  But this isn't the only great set this month, make sure you check out the Mark's Finest Paper's Store to see what other great sets and supplies they have to offer.

And don't forget the rest of the design team, they have some beautiful projects to show you as always!
