Hi there my sweet crafty tribe! How are you this week? I hope all is well in your corner of the globe today! Summer is coming fast!! This weekend is Memorial Day weekend already! Dang! I'm not sure what we're doing for the long weekend but hopefully the weekend will involve at least one day at the ocean! I've been purging and cleaning my craft studio for at least a year now. Last weekend some of my crafty friends and I did a big crafty garage sale and it was lots of fun. I saw many friends and sold a lot of my unused stamps and dies. I'm so happy they're going to good homes. On my A Blog Called Wanda Facebook page (link is on my left sidebar) I have listed one last giant box of goodies for anyone who wants to buy it! It feels so good in here now. I feel productive and creative and energized again. All ready for Summer crafting! Yay!
Today I'm sharing something really fun, fabulous and wonderful with you! I'm super happy to share the brand new release from Right at Home Stamps. I was totally impressed with everything in this release that I had to have it all - stat! Really clever and unique and just so so pretty. Butterflies, florals, and a gorgeous alphabet too. I made four cards to showcase the new items. I used a pretty Spring/Summer color palette and had the best time creating. CLICK HERE to go to the Right at Home website. Nicole, the owner, is the sweetest lady, and her style is fresh and beautiful. I know you're gonna love it too. I have tons of pictures to share today. Crap a cuppa joe and sit back with me for a few minutes. Thanks for coming by today!
How gorgeous is that Folk Alphabet?? It's two steps - one is a solid stamp for each letter, and the other is the lines - which I stamped in a darker shade on the two cards. I love love love this alphabet and am already thinking of so many uses for it! I want to make a little sign for my friend's baby - with her name and some flowers - to put in her room. You could customize envelopes, of write out any occasion! SO creative!! For two cards I used the alphabet as the focal point and built florals around them. EEK. All cards are A2 size. For all of them I used the brand new Gingham paper from Sunny Studio (links at the bottom of my post).
I used the leaves from the Freshly Picked set here to build a wreath around the word Love... I added the 'you' from the Script Greetings set in rich black to pop. Shades of yellow, dark pink and green showcase the pretty aqua in the middle. I used pigment inks for all of these cards because I like the softer effect. A few of the yellow flowers were popped up with foam tape. Then I added some clear gems.
The butterflies in the Fluttering By set are graphic and kind of funky. I love it! Lots of different stamps to use to make your own color combinations and designs. The dies are a perfect match. I used my MISTI to line up everything. I die cut the butterfly shapes from white cardstock first and then stamped onto the die cut - this gave me a 'frame' to line up my images.
All of the stamps and dies in this new release go together so perfectly. I love layering letters, and flowers, and butterflies....
For this card, I kept it a bit more clean and simple, with the butterfly as the focus of my card. I added pops of red too. And one of my layers is vellum. OOOH la la!
I hope you're inspired by the new Right At Home Stamps release! It is my pleasure to showcase and share with you all about my favorite stamp companies! The Folk Alphabet is a must have in my opinion! But shout out to Nicole for her beautiful line. Bravo! I hope everyone has a wonderful week! XOXO
