Limited Edition STAMPtember® Card Kit

September 27, 2018


The Limited Edition STAMPtember® Card Kit and it is SO MUCH FUN! I’ve created a few card using some of the contents starting with this super cute Preztel die. SSS-Pretzel Die & I Chews YouI die cut the pretzel and blended it with Scattered Straw & Vintage Photo. Then I took a white gel pen to add the dots for salt. I blended Blueprint Sketch & Mermaid Lagoon on the background and embossed a sentiment from the I Chews You stamp set that is also included in the kit.SSS-Pretzel Die & I Chews YouThis next little card uses the No Prob Llama Doodle Pop 3D Stickers by Doodlebug Design. There are three of these sweet sticker sets included in the kit.No Prob Llama Doodle Pop 3D StickersI blended Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade & Squeezed Lemonade onto the background and simply popped the sticker onto the card. How sweet is this Llama with the glossy nose? This is a small little lunch note or gift card size.
