My Monthly Hero - Holy Cow!

 The My Monthly Hero kit continues to BE AMAZING and the March kit is no different! I have three cards to share today with this udderly legen-dairy kit...

This first card uses the My Monthly Super Hero kit, which includes those darling milk and cookie dies. I also used the little cow stamp in the set to create my own background for the card by simply stamping him multiple times in Granite ink.

My next card focuses on just the main My Monthly Hero kit...

I really really love that cow print stencil. I also had fun putting together my little milk carton. There are so many different ways to make it "your own". I personally grew up with Lucerne milk cartons in my fridge, so that blue and white color is what I had to replicate. For this card, I used Cornflower ink as the blue shade inspiration (which has quickly become a favorite).

The milk carton die has options to make either an open carton, a closed carton, or a carton with a little twist cap. I just love that they thought of everything!

And now for a little (citrus) twist.....

When I realized that one of the dies was a little twist cap, I instantly thought of orange juice. Again, growing up, our orange juice was typically a classic Tropicana carton with a good ol' twist top. I instantly knew I had to make it happen!

I combined the new My Monthly Hero kit with one of my favorite releases from last year, the "I Pick You" collection. I used the apple die from Apple Frame Etched Dies to turn them into oranges. I also used the lovely apple tree stamp from In the Orchard to turn that into an orange tree for the background. I grew up with orange trees in my yard, so we either had fresh squeezed OJ available during peak season, or Tropicana in the winter. But there was always OJ! Finally, the sentiment is stamped from the Apple Branch set.

Be sure to check out this kit because they have been selling out quickly!

Beautiful Moments Release

 The Beautiful Moments release is live at Simon Says Stamp! I have a card to share using the super cute Hoppy Spring stamp set.

The little sheep and bunnies in the Hoppy Spring set are top-tier adorable! To put this card together, I first die cut the Eyelet Oval and then stamped the fence/grass stamp. I colored the background and two sheep with my Copic markers.

The sheep were fussy cut and added to the scene with foam dots. I also added some very very light clouds with the Hero Arts Cloud Pattern stencil. Finally, it's all matted on the lilac cardstock cut from the scalloped rectangle die.

You Are Dill-ightful!

 When Concord and 9th announced they were making a pickle themed stamp set, I set my alarm to add that baby to my cart the moment it was released!

Today I'm sharing my card created with the Dill-ightful stamps and dies...

I am a pickle fan and you will never catch me asking for "no pickles" on anything I'm ordering at a restaurant! The jar was put together in this order:

1. Stamp the jar with embossing ink and emboss with Brass powder.

2. Stamp the background of the jar with Powder ink.

3. Stamp the background of the pickle inside the jar with Parsley and then ink the edges in Artichoke.

4. Stamp the pickle outline stamp with embossing ink and emboss with Brass powder,

5. Stamp the solid lid image in Pebble. Then stamp the outline in embossing ink, and emboss with Silver powder.

6. Die cut the jar and the lid!

I also immediately fell in love with the Speckled Turnabout Stamp and this is my first time using it. I used this stamp for the background and inked it with Lemongrass, Avocado, Grasshopper, and Sprout.

Before gluing the jar to the background, I cut some dill sprigs and added them behind the jar.

This card was sent to a birthday boy who I've been told is a fan of pickles!
