There are so many new items that I absolutely LOVE - the new Fundamentals papers, the new dies, the new embossing folders, the new ribbon - that I decided to highlight a few of my favourite new items.
One of my several grandsons graduated from high school in June so i decided to use our new Fundamentals Enchantment paper and the Star Thin Cuts dies to make a layout showcasing his achievement.
The yellow and blue star at the bottom of the left page is a blue star with the bits from the large yellow one at the top. I also used some of the School 7-12 Complements as well.
Don't you love the new word Thin Cuts too? At a team function in Red Deer a few weeks ago, I cut out the Thanks sentiment and used the positive on the card with the Enchantment Fundamentals paper and the negative on a second card that I splattered with watercolour paint first. I love how you can use the positive and the negative both! No wasted paper!
Last, I used my heart die to make this card that I really love! I cut the heart from a piece of White Daisy cardstock cut at 4" X 5.25" then cut strips of paper from various sheets of the Whimsy Fundamentals paper and adhered them underneath.
NOTE: I just want to add that I got the idea for this card from a stampingpro.com post in Pinterest. Not exactly the same, but not totally my idea...
That's it for this month! Thank you for hopping along with us and I hope you come back next month when our theme will be Back to School. Now head over to Corrina's blog for some more great artwork!
