Hello and welcome! So glad you could join us for some inspiration by the SNSS design team with the new sets! Don't forget the Virtual Stamp Day at Splitcoaststampers for some fun chat and challenges with an opportunity to win some prizes - it all starts from 10:00 am with a new challenge being posted every two hours. Hope to see you over there!
And remember, all the new sets are available from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps immediately.
My first card uses two of the new sets, Script Sentiments and Grunge Borders...I used the wood grain border aiming for a sea washed wood look to add to my ocean theme - it may have ended up looking more like water since I stamped in blue, but hopefully that's okay too!
I sponged the Sizzix die-cut sea shells and layered them over some long grass - the stems of grass end up slightly curled when cut with a paper cutter. It's not evident in my photo but the card base has a pearlescent sheen and I sponged around the edges with SU's Creamy Caramel.
Supplies include:
Sizzix From the Ocean dies
Stampin Up Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, Creamy Caramel, Pool Party ink
Stampin Up Lucky Limeade cardstock
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Supplies include:
Memory Box Nestled Bird die
Memory Box Woodland Branch die
DCWV Citrus Stack
Stampin Up Lucky Limeade cardstock
Twine
Button
Sewing machine
Stampin Up Soft Suede ink
And here's another one using the fantastic set Grunge Borders - I stamped the grunge dots twice for a wider border along the bottom of the card. This fun set not only has the woodgrain strip and the dots strip but a chevron strip and a diamond pattern strip as well. I used Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps New Beginnings stamps and matching dies to create the butterfly and the sentiment is from Poppies and Greetings.
Supplies include
Cheery Lynn Designs Fanciful Flourish die
Twine
Stampin Up Yoyo Yellow ink
Button
MFT Simply Scallops Die-namic

Great cards! I love Memory Box stuff, so I am really drawn to the middle card. I hope to purchase the branch die in the near future. I do like the beach one too. Clever idea to use the woodgrain as you did... and it does look like the sea. ;<}
Very nice cards, love your pairing of stamps with the dies, inspirational for me! :)
