Hello! Today the design team are featuring two more new release stamp sets. First up is the set I illustrated for this month, Sweet Strawberries. This stamp set makes me hungry! I'll share the details on how I made the card above at the bottom of this post. 

And here is another sample using Sweet Strawberries. I just got home last week from a wonderful vacation to Jamaica and I have to confess I had just a few strawberry daiquiris by the beach, so I just had to make a card like this. I'll share the tutorial for this card a little later in the week.

Next up is such a cool new set from Tami Mayberry, called Vintage Notes. This will be a great set for creating not just cards, but fun little gifts and scrapbook pages, too! Tami designed this set to coordinate with the Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities® Office Supplies die set. I don't have that set yet, so I had to improvise with a hole punch. After stamping the lined note image, I stamped some paper clips and added the sentiment. I placed the Tim Holtz metal frame over the sentiment and attached with brads. I created my own custom pattern paper using images and sentiments from Vintage Notes, then layered with Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown and used a Tan Leather card base.

To start my card I stamped the strawberries with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers, beginning withR89.

Added R29.

Then added R27.

Added R24.

Added R22.

Then filled in with R00.

I used G03 on the leaves.

Added YG23 to make them brighter.

Then filled in with YG97. After coloring, I cut out the strawberries and then covered them with Crystal Lacquer.

I cut a piece of Pure Luxury White card stock with rectangle Nestabilities and sponged Memento New Sprout ink.

Sponged Memento Cantaloupe.

Then sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves.

I stamped the silhouette strawberry plant with Memento Bamboo Leaves.

I cut a piece of GKD Petals and Wings designer paper with Spellbinders Labels 4 and sponged Memento Lady Bug ink around the edges.

Cut a another piece of pattern paper from the Petals and Wings collection and sponged the edges with Memento Bamboo Leaves.

I created the sentiment layer with Labels 4 also and sponged with Memento Bamboo Leaves. I used Pop Dots to pop up the image a sentiment layer and used Pure Luxury Fresh Asparagus for the card base (4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches).
