Just roll with me here.... it's the sign of the times. And in the spirit of the National Holiday celebrated on April 20 (look it up, there is a holiday attached to this...) Kindred Stamps launched with it's March New Release the PERFECT stamp set to create with ... I can think of several people I could send a card to with this set... So, in preparation of 4:20 pm on April 20th... I have ideas to share, if that's your thing...or you know someone, whose thing it is. I enjoyed working with this set, as always with any of the Kindred stamps. I really wanted to do it justice, and had to let my imagination go...which this set lends itself to. The more I played with it...the more ideas!
First, I made my own background here...with a sun ray type stencil, and my very own "dots" stencil. I merely took a piece of scrap cardstock, and randomly punched holes out, no particular pattern...just here there and everywhere...then gently stenciled over my starburst image ... lastly, I stamped my "blunt" image using the new release set: Dope Friends and a random leaf image from my stash. I made my own peace sign, using 2 circle dies...merely use a smaller circle positioned inside the large one, it will punch out a circle outline... I used the Card Basics Die set for my larger circle. I promise you...that die set is now used for almost 100% if not 100% of my card making projects. So versatile. :) I have random strips die for the "lines"... and to add interest...I used Spectrum Noir Glitter Brush Pen (I used gold) to gently brush over my "green" elements...it gives it that lil sparkle...I love these pens!
My next card, I used a designer paper in my stash for the background and titled it with "BEST BUDS" using the Stiched Alpha Die set, another "go to" set for fonts.... I LOVE having this, and I suspect I will want to add the new alpha die set from Kindred to my stash as well! :)
Lastly....my quickies! A couple of releases ago, I made a quickie, and enjoyed the process, that I gave it a whirl this time too... I made TWO quickies... I can see me doing more and more in the future, and actually plan to start mailing little cards out more frequently. I think we need a little "happy" mail..every now and then...and I truly think Dope Friends very well can get that grin going!
Well, there you have it! Tomorrow, March 28, Kindred will be releasing this dope set, along with other really cool, man, releases... you will want to join in... it starts at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time!!!
