Woohoo 🎉

The day is finally here and all the products myself and the Brand Ambassadors have been introducing this past week are now available HERE. Hopefully you have hopped on over from HERE, the start of the blog hop. I've also given a little introduction to each of the products.

Now, let's see what I made for today...

I started by finishing off the card I started during yesterday's YouTube video HERE. I was demonstrating how I use the Background Builders and stamp this Background Builders Flower Power background without a stamping platform.

As you can see I decided to leave the background as it was stamped in black and finished off by adding a colourful flower. I used the stem from Flower Power #1 stamped in Parsley and the tulip is from the new Flower Power #11.

I finished with a mix of sentiment from Simply Said Blocks and Simply Said Blocks Occasions.

Next up I had to ink up the Stencil - Mid Century Modern Circles & Stars again, it was calling to be inked up in another fun colour combination.

I created a simple mask for each shape so that I could ink through with the different colours pictured. I then simply paired the pattern with the Happy Birthday sentiment from Mid Century Modern Birthday stamped in Nutmeg, fussy cut and adhered with foam tape.

Next I finished off a couple of cards using the Stencil - Layering Picked Posies. This first was the background I created during THIS YouTube video.

It felt a little wrong to cut through the perfectly stencilled panel! But I thought a diagonal stripe through it for my sentiment would make for an interesting layout. I like how it turned out.

My sentiment choice is from Floral Vines, it's a favourite of mine! Then I added a little stamped trio of dots in Clementine ink using a tiny accent stamp from Flower Power #11.

Lastly for today I used the Picked Posies flower I stencilled and fussy cut to finish a card idea I had.

I created a window using an arched tag die and then used one of the detail layers from the stencil to add the turquoise mini flowers. I then simply adhered the flower. I kept my card sentiment free so I can use it for any occasion or as a note card.

That's all I had time to make for today, but I will be sharing more inspiration using the new products over the coming days and weeks.
