STAMPlorations CUTplorations Phrase Dies Release

So excited to part of a release of new products at STAMPlorations. Click here to see the new CUTplorations dies. Also, click here to see how my teammates used these new dies.

I've made three cards. Here's the first one.

For this card, I used STAMPlorations Caffeinated Zen 2, stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I added colour with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I didn't add any water as I was looking for the bright colors. I masked the coffee cup and added ink splatters by scribbing on an acrylic block, adding a bit of water and flicking the ink onto the card front. For the sentiment, I scribbled some lines, using some of the same markers as I used to add color to the coffee cup and blended the ink with a water brush. I used this panel to die cut the sentiment from the new CUTplorations Phrase Art Happens die.

Here's my second card.

For this card, I used the ARTplorations Clouds stencil, actually the sun from that stencil and added distress inks (mustard seed, spiced marmalade). I then die cut the card panel and some yellow cardstock using the new CUTplorations You are My Sunshine die. I carefully inlaid the yellow die cut onto the card panel. I added some Wink of Stella to the die cut.

Here's my third and last card

For this card, I started with STAMPlorations In Bloom: Radiant Roses stamp, stamped onto 96 lb bristol with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I added colors with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. Using the bloom colors, I scribbled onto a scrap of bristol and blended the ink with a water brush. I then die cut using the new CUTplorations Life is Good die. To add some dimension and a bit of a shadow, I also die cut the sentiment from some black fun foam, which I adhered to the back of the die cut sentiment. 

Hoping you're loving the new CUTplorations dies at STAMPlorations. Can't wait to see what some of the STAMPlorations girls have created with them.

Thanks for stopping by
