Introducing Take Three: Spring!

I am so excited to share my newest release from the Urban Design collection called Take Three: Spring.  As a card maker/stamper, I find that there are things that are missing from the industry and naturally that stirs the creative side in me!  For instance, do you ever want the reflection of a stamp?  Do you ever wish you could move the image within a solid stamp? While there are ways to make that happen but it takes work.  As a result I created a stamp set with 3 different look to the same image--hence Take Three.  As you may have noted, this is Take Three: Spring.  Could it be a sign of things to come?  You'll definitely want to check back this summer for a new take on summer stamping ;)

Details: $15 set, 2 sets of images of 3 takes and sentiments to match for a total of 12 stamps!

Today's peak is focusing on one of the two series of images with this set--the infamous bunny with the stitched border.  The first thing to note is that the rounded square image fits PERFECTLY in the 1 1/4 inch EK success punch however if you want to add a border around the image try your 1 3/8 inch EK Success punch (see below).  I absolutely LOVE to coordinate images with punches or various tools--I'm all about time management.

CARD #1
KISS--keep it simply simple

I used a lot of "white space" to direct the eye to the focal image. I wanted to create the feeling that it was an award winning bunny.  I just love the simplicity of ribbon accents and what better way to tie the image to the card using a button too!

CARD # 2

If you don't keep it simple go crazy!

I honestly think there is a place for all kinds of cards.  For the most part you'll see that I like to keep things simple but it doesn't mean there isn't a place for getting fancy especially when you pair it with PTI's fabulous line of background stamps.  

I began by stamping my backgrounds on the spring moss, sweet blush and kraft cardstock.  I also stamped the bunny image over top of the polka dot basics and then punched them out using the 1 1/4 inch punch.  I placed all my bunny images on a die cut scalloped square and added a button with a touch of ribbon.  As a final step I stamped my sentiment and rounded the corners in addition to the bottom right hand corner of the card.
