It’s time to share our creations and I really do enjoy this part.  For today’s project, I have a card where I have used the rectangles from Scenery: Rectangled & Triangled to create a colorful border strip. 

I began by stamping the solid rectangle with Broken China Distress Ink and the doodled rectangle in Dusty Concord to create a pattern.  I trimmed the paper and cut the strip at an angle to match the stamping at the perfect length to match the thanks stamp from The Big, the Bold and You stamp set.  First I stamped it in Broken China, not worrying if it was solid since it would be a shadow, and then again in Versamark and embossed in white and slightly offset to complete the effect.

Finally, I added a few sequins in silver matte, white and a clear opalescent with a few tiny purple gems for some bling.  You are in for a real treat with Shay’s projects, plus the Talent’s and our guests’ projects.  Prepare to be inspired!!!

I am so thrilled to be premiering this stamp set.  I love other stamp sets just as much, but I know that we can't even scratch the surface on this.  Each person who uses it will create something unique and fresh from it!  For instance, I didn't think to use it like Julie did, but it is a completely awesome idea!

My trio of cards are pretty simple, but I think give a glimpse into the stamping adventures to be had with this one set.

For my first card I used the rectangle border stamp and stamped it several times on watercolor paper going up vertically staggering them horizontally in Versamark and then heat embossed it in white.  I also stamped "smile" from The Big, the Bold and Extras which we will be premiering tomorrow in Versamark and embossed it.  Yes, several of the smaller words from The Big, the Bold series plus small sentiments from other sets like The Write Stuff: Leave it to Dad fit within the rectangles!  I cut out the panel.  I pulled out my Distress Inks and a water brush and got busy coloring in the rectangles. I later painted over the rectangles with calico shine Mister Huey's by Studio Calico.  To give the "smile" more presence I stamped it in grey slightly to the left for a shadow.  I adhered the watercolor panel to a white cardbase with foam dimensional adhesive (never leave home without it!).

To finish up the card I added a butterfly from an ephemera pack from the Lemon Lush Collection by Studio Calico and some pearls stickers from the February 2014 OhDeerMe Kit by Freckled Fawn.  I can't sing enough praises for these incredible jam-packed embellishment kits and they come in the most adorable patterned bags!

The next card uses the outline triangle border from Scenery: Rectangled & Triangled.  I simply stamped it in black over and over again with the flat edge nearly touching the peaks of the row beneath it.  I didn't worry about the placement of the triangles below and above it, but you can certainly be more particular.  I then used the solid triangle and filled in the triangles randomly with my chosen color palette of navy blue, soft cantaloupe, tide pool and white.  The inks are all Shadow Inks by Hero Arts.  I cut out my piece of handmade patterned paper.  I made sure to temporarily place it on top of the card base for placement of the sentiment.  I stamped "thanks" from The Big, the Bold and You in Versamark and gold embossed it.  I tied some gold tread around the triangle panel and adhered it to the card base with dimensional foam adhesive.

My last card tonight suddenly popped into my head.  The polka dot rectangle suddenly reminded me of candles!  So I stamped several in cornflower, pale tomato and butter bar all Shadow Inks by Hero Arts.  I cut them out, arranged them on my card base and then pulled out the big leaf from The Write Stuff: Leave it to Mother and inked it up with soft cantaloupe to look like a flame.  I cut a stripe of navy card stock and adhered it down.  I added the candles elevating most of them with dimensional foam adhesive, but not all for some interest.  I stamped "celebrate" from The Big, the Bold and Extras premiering tomorrow in Versamark and white embossed it.  For a finishing touch I added a little shimmer to the flames with a clear Zig Wink of Stella pen.  I realized as I was making this card that it would also make a sweet Hanukkah or perhaps even a Kwanzaa card too with some changes in color and/or pattern!

I am not at all done with this stamp set and you will see me use it throughout the release...I really can't stop myself!

Wait until you see what the Talent and our guest stars have done..they have blown my mind!
