The Stamps of Life April 2012 Special Releases

Hi everyone, Gretchen here! I wanted to share with you the April mid-month special releases from The Stamps of Life and a few samples I made to showcases them. These three new sets are really versatile, they are pattern2love, frilly4abc, and tinytitles2stamp.

Patterns2love is a beautiful background design that will work perfectly on cards and scrapbook backgrounds alike. It comes with a vertical “birthday wishes” sentiment. I made two tags to show how pretty this background stamp really is.

I used Versamark ink to stamp on the tags to give them a really subtle effect. The sweet sentiments are from the tinytitles2stamp set. This set, which has a ton of different sayings (15 in print and 15 in cursive for a total of 30!!!), might be my new favorite set. I love simple and cute sayings and these definitely fit the bill.

I decided to make a small, simple card to showcase the frilly4abc’s set. This cute little card measures 4” x 4”. The stamp set itself comes with a few additional letters to make stamping a breeze if you are stamping out a long word.

This card was very quick and easy to make: I rounded the corners, outlined the card, added some antique looking brads through the petite flowers, and wa-la! I was done. Sometimes you need a quick card to put into a gift bag and a 5 minute card is all you have time for. 5 minutes and it’s still super cute!
