Now it’s time to show case our Let’s Catch Up stamp set and its coordinating dies Let’s Catch Up – Penguin Perfect Cuts.  Do you ever miss going shopping with your buddy?  Trisha joins us today and she has created for us this inspirational card, let’s check it out.

She coloured the images beautifully with Copic markers.  I love how she created the ocean and sandy background with Distress Oxide ink blending.  I adore that she stamped multiple times the shopping bags with the pretty Mermaid and seahorse at the centre to create this fun scene!

The wavy boarders and the Nuvo crystal drops mimicking the bubbles also finish off the card nicely.

Thank you so much Trisha for sharing with us this lovely creation!  Click on her name to check out more details on this card over at her blog!

Next, we will introduce our Sending Kisses Your Way stamp set and its coordinating Sending Kisses Your Way – Penguin Perfect Cuts.

For this card, I thought it would be sweet to create a scene of a hedgehog dreaming about his girlfriend and sending her hugs and kisses during his sleep^.^!

I also decided to create more layering to this card with our specialty papers.  First I used our Splendorlux Argento – Heavy Weight Premium cardstock to create an A2 size card base, and I added a layer of Elegant Backwash – Premium Fine Paper wrapped in the front.

I further added another layer of The Sandstone Series – Precious Gem – Premium Fine Paper in jade to create another layer on the card, mix and matching with The Sandstone Series – Lavender Field – Premium Fine Paper in purple on which I stamped out a sentiment “Sending love, kisses and hedgehugs your way” with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing power.

The critters were stamped out and coloured with Copic Markers on our Essentials – Smooth Bright White 100lb Heavy Weight Cardstock.

The lady hedgehog was glued onto a lacy heart cut-out using our Red Carpet – Heavy Weight Premium cardstock.  This cardstock has a special texture which makes it really pop.

I then finished the card by stamping the sentiment on the inside “…even during my sleep”!
