What's in a word? At STAMPlorations, words and phrases tell a wonderful story! And there are three NEW Phrase dies that will bring to your projects (and story) to life!
I'm so ready for Spring and sunshine! For my first card, I used the Bloomtangled #1 Cover Plate and inlaid die technique. I cut several colors of cardstock with the plate using a black cardstock cut out for the base. I 'colored' in the cut out spaces with the various die cut cardstock colors. Yes, this did take some time, but oh-so-therapeutic for me and I love the result. The new YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE Word Phrase Die worked beautifully!
#2 - Life Is Good
Life IS good with coffee and donuts! Yum!! For my card, I created a background with Distress Oxide Inks. I stamped, colored and fussy cut the Coffee Donut Row image and placed it on a strip of black cardstock. Adding the LIFE IS GOOD Word Phrase Die tells a delicious story!
#3 - Art Happens
Creativity is at the core of what we all do when we make a card, scrapbook page, project, etc. Whether it takes a few minutes to make a creation or hours (literally!), when it all comes together ART HAPPENS! For my card, I created a watercolor rainbow background and splattered with white paint. The images are from one of the Club Collection sets: Life In Full Color and coordinates perfectly with the new ART HAPPENS Word Phrase Die!
