today is the start of July release week with Newton's Nook Designs! i just LOVE release weeks!
you can totally use this to scrapbook, create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on July 17th, right here!
for my first card, you know i had to color the blankets in rainbow!!! it was begging for rainbows! ha!
the background of the card was created with texture paste and a stencil and then i just added a strip of black and white graphic washi to one side!
i just LOVE how i didn't have to fussy cut it out - one pass with the die, and it was done!! yay for dies!!!!
and speaking of fussy cutting...you can still do that with dies!
my 2nd card was created by paper piecing and then i still die cut it all out on white cardstock!!
there's also a slight watercolor background in a warm yellow on the card base!
i left this card blank inside so it can be used for lots of occassions! :)
