Studio Calico June Reveal

Hi everyone! Time definitely flies! I can’t believe June is almost here! Yesterday, Studio Calico revealed their June kits. They all were already available during an exclusive pre-sale for subscribers only and they are now available to everyone for purchase in the Studio Calico store! Be aware that they often sell out quickly, so get yours today to avoid disappointment!

Today, I’m sharing a few cards I made using the Galileo Main Card kit and add-ons.

For my first two cards I used an adorable stamp set from the main kit. The bunny, ice creams and gorgeous script sentiments - I am so in love with these stamps!

For this card I used the ice cream scopes to create a colourful background.

My last card is created with the Party Animals set by Life.Love.Paper (which also includes coordinating dies!). How cute are these party animals?! I created some fun pattern and added a touch of watercolours, allowing the ink to run a little.

All cards and envelopes I used here are from the Card Basics add-on.

I had so much fun playing with this month's kit and I hope you feel inspired to check out these new products! You can also pop over to the Studio Calico gallery for more inspiration and ideas from the Creative Team!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Today I have two very similar cards to share since I wasn't sure which one I prefer more. Both are created using a new set called "Mom". For my first card I stamped flowers in purple ink onto a blue cardstock and used a blue marker to colour them:

For my second card I again stamped flowers in purple but this time I used a blue marker to colour my background:

That's all for me. Your next stop is our fab guest designer Jennifer McGuire!

#NSDSC15

Last Saturday was a National Scrapbooking Day and we have been having lots of challenges over at Studio Calico blog. Today I’m popping in to share my take on challenge #05 which is to use your favourite Studio Calico stamp anywhere.

I wanted to make something different than a card and decided to create a stamped poster for my daughter’s bedroom.

It’s not a scrapbooking layout but it is definitely bigger compared to what I used to work with. First I printed out my sentence directly onto white cardstock and then I stamped a floral background using stamps from the Mother’s Day stamp set.

Hope you feel inspired to join in the fun! To be entered to win a prize from the Studio Calico simply post your project(s) in the Studio Calico Gallery by May 10th and add the tag #NSDSC5 in the description. Challenges may be combined - just add tags with right numbers in your description. Winners will be posted on Monday, May 11th!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
