The Craft's Meow March 2012 Release Blog Hop



Hello! Hello! Yay! We're finally at the end of the previews and I can show you all the wonderful stamps The Craft's Meow is releasing this month of March. Welcome to The Craft's Meow March 2012 Release Blog Hop!!!

I'll feature my card for the hop before I reveal the stamp sets ok? :) If you just came from Iwona "Chupa" Palamountain's blog then you're in the right place! If not, head on over to the TCM blog and start there. 

For my card, I combined Beautiful Spring and Mother & Father by Nina Brackett. I've kept it pretty simple because I didn't want to take away from the gorgeous butterfly.


I stamped it on cardstock and colored it with Copic markers then hand cut them. I layered one over the other using foam tape.


I just added a little die cut and a strip of lace to give it a more feminine feel. Isn't that die cut beautiful?! It's from Spellbinders. I had a hard time removing the cardstock from the die at first. Then I read over at the SB blog that you should use wax paper when using these intricate dies. So I layered a film of wax paper above the cardstock. It worked great and I had an easy time removing the die cut image.


Let's start with stamp sets from Nina Brackett.
