Supplies:

Stamps: Furnishing Fun Stamp Set

Paper: American Crafts paper, white vellum (source unknown…my scrap pile!)

Embellishments: Opal Pearl Paint

Adhesives: Vellum Tape, Permanent Tape, and Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives

This card is a standard size of 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″.  To make the 3D part, cut a piece of vellum that’s 5″ x 2″.  Score both ends of the vellum 3/8″ in from the side.  (This will make a little flap to adhere your vellum tape to.)

Fold and place adhesive, and adhere to card.  (The picture is looking down from the top.  See how the vellum “pops” out a little?)

Embellish and attach butterfly cutouts.  (I used some butterflies cut from the Cricut Storybook Cartridge but you could use chipboard or punched butterflies just as easily!)

Stamp Relax, Celebrate, and Live on a coordinating strip of paper, add pearl paint embellishments, and adhere.

So here’s the first one!  Hexagon-A-Thon!  I love hexagons and their ability to be used separately or fit nicely together to make a pattern.  This set comes with 10 hexagon images that can be interchanged!  The three larger borders fit nicely around the smaller ones and are easily stamped on top because they are clear!

Outside the box is a great stamp set too!  This set has 4 blocks, and the fillers, so if you just want to stamp the design great, but if you want to fill it in, just stamp the coordinating image on top.  The boxes along the bottom will fit easily around the blocks too if you want a little bit of a border!

Build A Border!  This set is great for making backgrounds, borders, and many other things to add to your card and scrapbook layouts!  I even designed the border stamps so that they are super easy to manipulate and you can even bend the borders to make circles and ovals very easily!  I love what you can do with clear stamps!!

Furnishing Fun.  I love Interior Design, but there’s not too many sets out there that include it.  This has a cute little shelf with two vases.  (The middle of the vases are different stamps so it’s easy to make it a different color (or emboss) just the middle!  There’s a few different flowers for the vases as well as a few cute pears.  The shelf can actually be made into a picture frame too!  (I’ll do a card showing you that soon!)  And of course the chair!  Love the chair!  Looks cute with a little pear sitting on top of it!

There you have it!  My brand new releases!  And until October 1st-all stamp sets will be on sale for $12.50!!!  Even the previous releases!  And FREE shipping on all pre-tax orders of over $40 STILL applies!  Now is the time to stock up!  Visit the website here or if it’s easier to purchase from Etsy you now can!  I opened up an Etsy shop to make it easier on those who already have an Etsy account.  Purchasing through either site will still give you the sale price, as well as FREE shipping on all orders over $40!!

This stamp set is called Outside The Box and is a collection of coordinating images that make great center pieces for cards, or backgrounds for entire pages!

What do you think so far?  Loving what you see?  Be sure to check back Friday to see all the new stamp sets!

Oh and if you see the little owl charm I made, you might recognize it, it’s from my Have A Tweet Day stamp set!  I just stamped it on a Shrinky Dink, colored the eyes, beak, and outside with colored pencil, shrunk and attached it to my card!
