Card Art by Helen

Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

The BBQ Master Bundle is just the thing for those tricky cards for men!

The BBQ image from the BBQ Master Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink and the flame image stamped using Daffodil Delight, and both cut out using the coordinating dies from the BBQ Master Dies. The flame element was adhered directly to the grill of the BBQ image, and both adhered to a die-cut Basic White stitched square (cut using the die from the Stylish Shapes Dies measuring approximately 2⅜" x 2⅜") using Stampin' Dimensionals™.

A rectangle of the gingham pattern from the Cute as a Bug 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper measuring 5¼" x 3" was adhered to a rectangle of Poppy Parade Cardstock measuring 5" x 3¼", and both layers then added to a folded Azure Afternoon card base.

The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment was stamped on a 2½" x ½" rectangle of Daffodil Delight Cardstock using Black Memento ink. The second part of the sentiment was stamped on a 2" x ⅝" rectangle of Azure Afternoon Cardstock, also using Black Memento ink.

The BBQ element was adhered directly to the left-hand side of the DSP layer, and the two-part sentiment added to the right using Stampin' Dimensionals. White Moody Palette Glossy Dots were added as embellishments.

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

The Cutest Crew Bundle lives up to its name with playful images and die cuts of the most adorable animals.

The row of cats image from the Cutest Crew Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped on four rectangles of cardstock (4" x 1") in various shades of pink using the matching Classic Stampin' Ink™; Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Pretty in Pink, and Strawberry Slush. The paw prints image from the same stamp set was stamped randomly over the front of a folded Basic White card base using Petal Pink ink. The stamped cardstock strips were then adhered directly to the card front.

Smoky Slate Ink was added to the first two images in the row of cats stamp, which was then stamped on Basic White Cardstock and coloured using the light Crumb Cake and light Pretty in Pink Stampin' Blends™. The coloured pair of cats were cut using both the die from the Cutest Crew Dies and scissors for the right-hand side.

The sentiment, again from the same stamp set, was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Strawberry Slush ink and cut out using the die (measuring approximately 2¾" in diameter) from the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The coloured pair of cats were added to the bottom of the die-cut circle using Stampin' Dimensionals™ and the sentiment element added to the card front, again with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The individual cat dies from the Cutest Crew Dies were used to cut cats from Petal Pink, Pretty in Pink, and Strawberry Slush Cardstock, and added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. Flirty Flamingo Garden Epoxy Dots were added as the final embellishments.
