This month is a fantastic release,
with four new stamps sets & eight new Confetti Cuts!
Today, we're showcasing a new set that's perfect for dads
called Tie-rific (with coordinating Confetti Cuts!) as well as a fabulous
new set of Confetti Cuts called Insta-Frames!
I made two cards using the new Tie-rific stamp set -- one casual and the other a little more formal.
For my card for the more casual dad, I diecut a circle (from Circles 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts)
and a tie using the new Tie-rific Confetti Cuts from two of the new School Days Quick Card Panels.
I trimmed a couple of strips to make the collar for the shirt.
I stamped the sentiment from Tie-rific.
For my more formal card, I started with a piece of smokey shadow cardstock.
I scored two lines on my panel using my Scor-Pal and from there,
started stamping the adorable polka-dotted tie from Tie-rific in either versafine onyx black &
heat embossed in clear or in versamark, which I heat embossed in gold.
That's it for today!
