There are some beautiful new paper collections: Chelsea Gardens, Make Waves, Stargazer, and Gimme Some Sugar along with several embellishments and a variety of stamp sets. One of my favorite new sets is C1702 Gimme Some Sugar - Cardmaking. (You can even get the set with a coordinating set of dies.) Here are a few cards that I made with the set.
Keeping this card clean and simple, I randomly stamped the background with all the cooking images in Heather ink. Then I cut out a heart and coordinating scallop with my Cricut and stamped the sentiment "baked with love." For a final touch, I added a few Bashful Pearls as accents.
Since I always seem to run out of Thank You cards, I loved the "grateful for you" sentiment. Using the new Gimme Some Sugar collection, I added a piece of the printed paper on the bottom -- wrapping it with a ribbon from the Basics ribbon collection. Then I stamped the grater on top with the sentiment.
I also played with the cute little oven mitt. I stamped, colored and cut out the mitt and attached it to a Lemon background. Then wanting to use a different color scheme -- I pulled out the new Nutmeg color and made my own striped accent attaching it on the bottom with a thin strip of the Nutmeg n bottom. Then I used the adorable sentiment "I must admitt you're the best." Too cute!
And last but not least, I made a 6"x6" card using the Gimme Some Sugar papers again. I used 2"x2" squares of the patterned paper to set up the grid, then stamped the measuring cups in each corner. I colored each cup in a little bit and attached some thin strips at slightly off angles to give it a more varied look. I finished it off with stamping the sentiment "You always measure up" and adding a few Bashful Pearls.
Don't you love this set? Make sure to get yours ordered while you can. Enjoy!
