Shouting Out About New Releases from Our Craft Lounge

Our Craft Lounge is releasing 4 brand new stamp sets this week. Today and tomorrow, the design team is sharing some sneak peeks of the new sets. You should have arrived her from Lori McAree's blog. Be sure to leave a comment as you hop along since four lucky commenters will be selected to win some of the new sets! Winners will be chosen from among the comments left on all participating blogs and will be announced on Monday, June 6.

This card features images from the new Shout It Out set along with the balloon image from the new Slow & Steady set. I colored the elephant and the balloon images with Copic markers and cut them out, then attached them to the image panel with foam tape. The set’s “happy birthday” sentiment is stamped just above the elephant.

I kept the rest of the card simple to show off the fun image. I layered a pair of coordinating patterned paper panels on the cardfront and ran a strip of orange grosgrain ribbon across the cardfront. I added the image panel, layering it over the patterned paper panels and part of the ribbon strip. An orange button, tied with matching orange baker’s twine, completed the design.

Your next stop is Pam Hooten. Don't forget to check back tomorrow for another look at the new releases . . .
