Each time we release a new StampTV kit, I think to myself, "This is the best kit ever!!" But this one really is THE BEST KIT EVER!

Introducing the new StampTV kit- Spring Mix

The new Spring Mix StampTV kit stamp set has some of the best images and greetings. It will help you create everything from sweet baby cards, congratulations cards, birthday and  thank you cards, get well cards, wedding, love, long distance, friendship cards... you name it, it's in there!

And the images are perfect for the many different styles in which you love to create. 

This kit contains tons of beautiful pure luxury card stock, patterned papers, tons of ribbon, brads and eyelets. And the eyelets are SO cool. I can't wait to show you how easy they are to use. You will fall in love with eyelets all over again when you play with these! No more eyelet setting tools, hammers or anything else. In fact- barely any sound at all!!! I will do a video on them in an upcoming StampTV episode. We will be carrying these eyelets as a stand alone item in the near future.

I want to begin by showing you the project I made for this week's StampTV episode.



I love this Asian inspired floral image. It can be used for SO many of the StampTV techniques like thumping, emboss resist, kissing and so much more! But- used in a cool monochromatic style, it's so elegant.



Image Design

One of the things you will love about this set is that there is a main oval image and a main circle image. Almost every other image in the set, (with the exception of one huge image,) will fit inside one of these two shapes or can be used alone.

They were designed to coordinate perfectly with the nestabilities classic ovals, scalloped ovals, scalloped circles, petite scalloped circles and plain circle dies. This allows for quick and easy cutting, mass producing of cards and, with the nestabilities patented open center design, you can achieve beautiful embossing and highlighting using ink, spritz or a copic airbrush.


Style

Are you an eclectic stamper? I am. One day I love clean and simple. The next day, I am shabby chic. Over the weekend, I am cutesy. On Monday, I am bold and chunky. Sound like you? I love all styles of stamping so I including all styles of images to make this kit fun and interesting no matter what your stamping mood.



I decided to go for a clean and simple look with some Pure Luxury Kraft card stock and some colorbox creamy white ink. I used the large daisy stamp and added a button from our neutral button assortment.



Then, a little later that day, I was feeling a bit more layer-ish and cutesy so I decided to make a card and add a greeting from the new One free with 3 set called Friends.

Introducing the new One free with 3 set- Friends

I am so excited for you to see this new FREE set! This set is available to anyone who purchases three stamp sets in one order as a gift with purchase! It's retail value is $19.95 but will not be available for purchase until next month's release when it will go into our regular inventory.

Friends is a set of greeting that honors friendship. One greeting I just had to add is the one in the card project below.



I used the little mouse holding the empty sign image from the new Spring Mix StampTV kit and then grabbed this greeting from the new Friends stamp set and it fit perfect inside the sign!



Just in time for Mother's Day, I added this greeting into the Friends set because many of us consider our Mom's to be our best friends.  And what a perfect way to honor Mom by letting her know it! It's the only tiny little greeting for Mom but I had room for it, so I added it in.

These patterned papers are part of the new StampTV kit too!  



I added a button from the Spring Button Assortment on to some of the rich Chocolate Kiss ribbon that comes in the new StampTV kit! I used the technique from last week's StampTV video called Adding a Button to a Bow.

The new Friends stamp set will work great with any image in your collection or, it's a great way to showcase some of the beautiful patterned papers in your collection while using the greetings as the focal image.




Here is a close up view of the greeting. Notice how nicely it fits inside of this Spellbinders Ribbon Tags 2 dies.



The Little Boy Blue wide grosgrain and card stock also come in the new Spring Mix StampTV kit!
