It's TE Release Week for July! We are doing the release a little early this month since next week is the 4th of July holiday and everyone will be out celebrating! Today we are going to show you ALL the new stamp sets, dies and impression plates, so make sure to hop around to all the Baker's Dozen blogs! Also, did you hear the news? We have two new members of our design team! YAY!
Today I'm taking you away to Coconut Cove... Coconut Cove stamp set is from the Apple Doodle Ink line by Doug Applegate! Doug's Adorable Abodes #7 was concepted by Jami Sibley! Who wouldn't want to hang out on the beach in this hut and drink out of a coconut? I love this set because it's perfect for summer scrapbook pages and can also be made into masculine or feminine cards. It has great sayings and accent pieces!
I'm also going to be showing you a new Impression Plate - The Waves/Bubbles Impression Plate - this double-sided plate will work so well with all of the sets in this release! Have fun with it. I'm using it in two projects this week! Here's my card for today...shabby beach...
Here's a peek at all my layers and distressing! This was fun! All the papers are from the Paradise Beach Collection from Echo Park...and they're yummy! I love the blue together with that rusty orange.
Remember that all TE stamps are high quality red rubber - not clear - for a great impression every time. The sets all come on a full color storage panel and are packed with images and sentiments. Here's my process for distressing this cute image. I started with brown ink on cream cardstock.
Next I frayed the edges, spritzed the whole thing with water, and crumpled it into a ball!
After unfolding it carefully, I let it dry and then added distress ink around the edges and on the wrinkled parts. I kinda think it looks like part of a treasure map now! :-) I mounted the main image onto the brown paper - with foam tape.
This is one of the BRAND NEW ink colors from Memento! There are 12 new colors...and I just got them all from the TE store! Check 'em out. This orange is the perfect color for this project.
Here you can see the waves side of the new impression plate - perfect swirls for summer waves...
