TCM April Preview Day 1



Good morning!

Welcome to The Craft's Meow April Preview Day 1 blog hop!  Several of the TCM designers will be joining together for the next five days to showcase six new stamps sets on our blogs.  I've been busy creating with these lovely stamp sets and am excited to get started sharing my projects with you.  To view all the designers (including our two amazing guest designers) participating in today's previews, please visit The Craft's Meow store blog.

First up, is Vacation Time - illustrated by Kaitlyn Ord.  Such a fun stamp set for scrapbooking or vacation/retirement themed projects!  I decided to layer several of the images together on this patterned paper by stamping them with a variety of Versamagic craft inks.  I love how well these inks worked with the stamps!  I haven't used them in awhile and fell back in love with them...

Card Details (4.25" x 5")
Stamps: Vacation Time (TCM)
Ink: Tsukeniko Versamagic craft inks

Card stock: Die Cuts with a View Linen Closet
Other: SU hardware; lace; Twinery Twine; Corner rounder

Next on the previews today is the lovely Nature's Beauty illustrated by Michelle Bertuzzi - Jiroken.  The silhouette images are perfect for lots of techniques and we all know how popular silhouettes are in the paper crafting industry right now, don't we?  I decided to go rather simple with my card today and stamped the wild flowers in black Versafine ink (my favorite black ink).  I wanted to make a 'solemn' sympathy/ praying for you/ thinking of you card and think this silhouette image is perfect for that occasion.

Card Details (5/5" x 4.25")
Stamps: Nature's Beauty (TCM)
Ink: Tsukeniko Versafine black; Stazon black

Card stock: SU solid; DCWV Linen Closet mat stack
Other: PTI mat stack 1 dies; doily; SU ribbon; Wild Orchid flowers











I hope you've been inspired to check out all the other projects with today's two new stamp sets.  Remember to check those out on The Craft's Meow store blog!



See you tomorrow with some more preview projects!

What neat cards! I just love how you combined all that trim at the bottom of the first and that little bookplate too, and the layering on the second is just beautiful. Great work!

I love the whitewashed feeling of the first card with the turquoise accents and the silhouette stamp over that patterned paper and doily is so pretty!! Great job!
