And now my new creation, actually creations...

I love combining my stamp sets, I mean the extent to which you can create a variety in your cards is immense. So these are one such example :)

I took a white panel and stamped all the images, pencil colored those. Highlighting the solid stamped images and then die cutting along the top edge. I did a similar thing only using a black card stock for a chalk board effect. I think I like them both. what do you think :)

I have used the following products -

We the Inspiration Team are leading the festivities by showcasing the new products. So here are the cards I made using the new stamps and dies :) I made 6 cards... yay! was so inspired and excited :D
Celebrations means cake and Balloons, keeping that in mind I made my first card :)

I inked the base panel by masking the outer edges. I stamped and fuzzy cut the images. Colored these with Prisma Color Pencils and put it all together to finish my card. I have used Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle dies, Balloons and Banners and the new Birthday Bash Stamp set :)

For this one, I did my all time favorite no line water coloring. I masked and stamped the cupcakes and colored them. To finish I added some splatter and sentiment. I have used "Birthday Bash" set. Coloring was done with Gansai Tambi watercolors.

For this card, I stamped the whole background with cupcakes and rainbow colored the topping but then I could not really decide what I wanted to do next. This panel sat for a few days just as is but then I came across one of the cards from Mayholic Designs - May cards... and this card is me channeling her :) She is brilliant. So all I did next was to add those dots and some inlaid die cutting. I have used new "Happy Everything" set. Little Love Birthday wishes and Make a wish die. Coloring was done with Prisma Color pencils.

This is one of those simple cards where product instantly works its magic. I simple stamped the butterfly on the panel and dry embossed the base panel with butterfly die. I have used Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle dies, Happy Everything set and Flutter Zen - 2 Layering dies

One of quickest card I made was this one. It takes the advantage of patterned paper goodness. I cut out a panel for my base. I die cut the sentiment from matching patterned paper. I stamped. colored and fuzzy the flower to match the patterned paper. I adhered it all to finish the card. I have used Make a wish die, The Birds and the Blooms set, We R memory Keepers - Hello Darling paper pad, Studio Calico - Wanderlust Collection Paper pad and Prisma Color pencils

My last card, is another one of my favorite things to do, no line pencil coloring. Again I masked, stamped and colored the images. To finish I stamped the sentiment. I have used "Happy Everything" set.

I hope you enjoyed all my creations, don't forget to comment for a chance to win and visit our STAMP blog to find all the other ways you can win :) Click HERE
