The Craft's Meow ~ Chalkboard Faith and Rustic Greetings

 Today is the third day of previews for five new stamp sets which will be available through The Craft's Meow on September 21.  All the designers' projects can be seen over on TCM's company blog along with their links for more details, so be sure to check them out.  

Today we are featuring two stamp sets. The first one is designed by our own Nina Brackett called Chalkboard Faith:

Absolutely LOVE this stamp set! This style of sentiment is so trendy right now and this set speaks of my personal faith which means all the more!!

 

Next is a set by Angelica Suarez called Rustic Greetings:

 The background was created using the long stamps in this set...LOVE it! Definitely a new go to for me as I tend to like to create my own patterned paper.

I'll be back tomorrow with another card from The Craft's Meow September stamp set release!  This is such a great release and I had so much fun playing with all of the new sets.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day! 

Blessings,

 

The Craft's Meow September Blog Hop

Hello friends!  Today the The Craft's Meow DT is having an "Anything Goes" themed blog hop.

I used the stamp set Chalkboard Birthday and incorporated the ghosting technique using Distress inks and water.

A white cardstock panel was sponged generously using Distress inks. Once I was satisfied with the coverage, I laid a stencil from Judikins and misted the panel with water. Simply set aside and the pattern will appear as it drives (you can speed this up with a heat gun). 

 

Below is step by step of "how-to" from a blog post I had on the TCM Blog yesterday.

First I sponged some Distress inks onto a white cardstock panel using distress inks and gathered a stencil and water spritzer.

Place the stencil on the inked cardstock panel and spray the panel with water.

Gently roll a paper towel roll over the stencil/panel to absorb the water.

Lift the stencil and finish the card as desired. I added one of the sentiments from Chalkboard Birthday

Here is The Craft's Meow stamp sets I used on my cards:

Birthday Greetings

 I always have a need for birthday cards and this new set, Chalkboard Birthday from The Craft's Meow is perfect!! I incorporated the color challenge from the Play Date Cafe and used my favorite new stencil from The Crafter's Workshop: Honeycomb. I added some ribbon and Want2Scrap bling and found this color combo went quite well together...I was shocked, lol! :P

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

 I made this one using the colors from the Play Date Cafe Challenge (Maroon, Poppy and Soft Jade) for this week. I stenciled the top half of the card front using a Crafter's Workshop stencil and paired it with a chevron patterned paper.  The color scheme from PDCC worked perfectly!!
