For my card I used Sincere Sympathy, to be honest I don't like having to make these cards but I know whomever receives it knows I not only made it with them in mind but that I put my heart into it. I do love this set not only for it's versatility but the sentiments are truly amazing.

I used paper by Bo Bunny called Madeleine, misc. flowers and ribbon, Doodlebug Doilies (white) and flower crystals by Prima.

Day One - May Krafty Peeks!

Welcome Krafty Friends to Day ONE of our MAY Krafty Previews!!!

Welcome to the amazing Krafty Peeks for our fabulous new May release of clear stamps!!

 The theme is UNDERWATER and we are kickin' things off with THREE FIN-tastic new designs to inspire you this month from artist, Annie Rodrigue!

First off, we have a TWO new stamp set featuring BRAND NEW MERMAIDS!!!!!!! I know some of you have been waiting for these!! They SHORE are beautiful and they are called SERENA SPARKLES and TREENA TWINKLES! And each one features several super cute and funny coordinating sentiments!

Next up Annie has designed the perfect BACKGROUND stamp set to go with these new mermaids and many other summer stamp sets OR to just use it by itself!! How gorgeous is this underwater scene called THE OCEAN!!?

Are these not absolutely fantastic!!!! Annie has done an absolutely amazing job with her image this release!!!!!

For my card this release I made a shaped card. The card is actually a shell from the silhouette studio. I cut the card using paper from Fancy Pants called Down by the Shore. I wanted the coral to be the focus behind so I mounted that on the back of the card once I was done coloring it. The seaweed also came with the card which I cut out and mounted on the popups. I used the sentiment from the coral set and also mounted this on the popup in the forefront.


I also wanted to use one of the awesome mermaids on the card so I coloured her up and fussy cut her. I put her at the bottom of the shell just below where the writing can go. I hope you enjoy all the eye candy today!
