Hello everyone!!! The Ton 3rd Anniversary Release Blog Hop is underway and it’s amazing. I made it back from Creativation just in time to participate in the hop so I’m excited.
If you arrived here from The Ton blog then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, you will want to start at the beginning, The Ton blog, as to not miss any of the amazing projects!
The Ton released 22 new stamps for their 3rd Anniversary which includes up to two free gifts with purchase (Daisy Duet and Peony Notes Bundle A+B+C). For more information on The Ton’s incentive gifts, head over to the The Ton’s blog. All new release products are available now!!
Lets jump in:
Card One:
The inspiration for this card came from an artist I met at Creativation on Monday. His use of colors and water was amazing on a large background stamp.
So, for my first card I used the City Buildings Cling Background stamp to create a subtle multicolor background topped with a sentiment from the Seriously Amazing stamp set.
For the sentiment to pop off of the card, black embossing powder was added on top and heat set. Add a couple of gumdrops to finish the card off.
Card two:
For my second card, I used the XOXO Mini stamp set to create a clean and simple Valentine’s Day card.
Use 4 different distress ink colors to create the pink ombre look. Once thats done, stamp both sentiments using the MISTI and black ink. Make sure the sentiment is dry, then stamp the sentiment again using Versamark ink. Add black embossing powder and heat set the sentiment.
Add a couple of gumdrops to finish the card off.
So what do you think? Are you loving The Ton’s new release? I would love to hear what you think.
