TCM Preview: Lovely Birds


Hi there!

It's preview week for the new The Craft's Meow stamp sets soon to be released on July 1st!  I had such a fun time preparing for this release - just wait until you see what the entire team has been creating with these fun stamp sets!  You're going to be so inspired!!

The first stamp set we're showcasing is illustrated by Nina Brackett and is called Lovely Birds.  My husband and daughter LOVE watching and identifying the birds in our backyard.  It's pretty cute how Ashley knows most species of birds and if we aren't sure of their names, we'll look in our bird book or search online to see and she always remembers their names and usually has an interesting little tidbit about them.  I was thinking of the cardinal family that we have in our backyard when I created this card ...

Card Details
Stamps: Lovely Birds (The Craft's Meow)
Ink: Versafine black; Distress
Card stock: Crate Paper's Emma's Shop Pack A 
Other; Sewing machine; Spellbinder Scallop Pennant dies for border; Spellbinder ribbon banner; dauber; Copic markers; SU ribbon

Now, for the fun part: Your chance to win this stamp set!  Check out all the designer's blog links on The Craft's Meow blog and leave comments along the way for your chance to be entered into the drawing to win the stamp set being showcased today!  Lisa will draw three names from all the comments entered by 10pm Pacific time tonight!  The winners will be announced on The Craft's Meow blog tomorrow 

Good luck and happy hopping!
Jessica
