New Sets...

I went a bit crazy on my last order and bought loads of stamp sets. Because it was my first order since re-signing up again in August, SU! very kindly gave me an extra 10% instant income, so I had a bit of a splurge. Anyway, I have lots of new sets to play with!

One of my favourite ways to get to know a new set is to CASE the catalog sample made with it. So here we go...

Fine Feathers Wood-Mount Stamp Set







I can see myself using Fine Feathers (126515 $16.95 (WM), 126517 $12.95 (CM))A LOT for masculine cards, notecard sets, all sorts really. I loved the catalog sample so much that I stuck pretty closely to it - the only real change I made was the addition of two extra buttons. Well, it kind of wasn't intentional - the Certainly Celery one is covering up a smudge! Then the teeny tiny one was added for balance.

 Summer Silhouettes Wood-Mount Stamp Set







This one is a card for my best friend Jen who lives in England. So it's nice and flat for mailing. To get the smudgy effect on the foliage, I sprayed the stamp after inking with some shimmer mist. The set is called Summer Silhouettes (126445 $24.95 (WM), 126447 $17.95 (CM)) - another great one for notecard sets, sympathy cards, girly cards...

    I really like both of these cards but I am hooked on sillhouettes right now so unlike the second a little better. I have looked at the catalog a bunch of times and never noticed the lattice that is part of that set. Sweet!

    Two stunning cards, Bexx!! They are drop-dead gorgeous!! Both of these sets are moving to the top of my SU wish list NOW!

    For Dorothy's Card-a-Day challenge, I would love to case your At Long Last card from Monday and incorporate it into my 10 Minute Monday post if that is O.K. with you.

      Thanks, Bexx. It won't be improved because I have to be able to stamp it in 10 minutes, but I will do my best!
