We're counting down the days to the release of our new February Collection! Over the next five days, I'll be sharing sneak peeks of some of the fabulous products that will be available for the month of February as part of our Monthly Collections program. Each month, we'll be introducing new stamp sets, dies and other accessories. Monthly Collections are designed to work with the fabulous products from our main catalog. We hope you'll find lots of ways to extend the use of products you already own and see a few new ones that you might like to play with!
Let's get the party started!
What's a party without some loot? I'll be doing a giveaway with each sneak peek so be sure to post a comment to win! See details below.
Today's sneak peek is for a new stamp set called Spring Scene. This stamp set includes 21 images. There is a matching die set available that includes 20 pieces. So many options!!
This sweet little bunny just melts my heart! I stamped him in Grapefruit ink. Now that I'm looking at the photo, I realize that he is missing his cute little "bunny bum"... must've forgotten to glue it down! Ooops! (Bunny bums are part of the February Collection!)
These eggs are very sweet!
Masking is one of my favorite techniques and it's so easy! To create a mask, simply stamp your image on a sticky note and trim very tightly. Use this "mask" to cover one of the eggs while you stamp another.
The Happy Easter sentiment is from the Essential Sentiments Too (SASNO44) stamp set.
{The inks I used on this card are Marigold, Bermuda, Grapefruit, Buttercup, Sage. Branches are stamped in Grass.}
This next card features a Sneak Peek of another new die from the February collection - the Card Catalog tag die. It measures 1-7/8" x 3-1/4" and comes with a 3/8" circle. It's a great size and I love the added stitching around the edge!
The flowers on the tag were made with A Muse Studio Crepe Paper and the Flowers die set (TAD0076).
Marisa Alvarez, one of our Creative Consultants shared this technique and I absolutely LOVE it! To make these flowers you'll want to accordion fold some crepe paper. For my flowers, I used 8 layers. Crepe paper is very thin so you can cut through this many layers at a time! Two of the flowers in this die set have a tiny hole in the center - perfect for a brad. (I used our white brads and simply colored them with COPIC markers.) So fun!!!
I have one last project to share. The tag is actually from our January Collection - Large Fishtail Tag die (TAD0138). Normally our monthly collections will be available for only the month they are released, HOWEVER, since our January Collection is our DEBUT Monthly Collection, it will be available through February 14th. Get it while you can!
I used one of our Cellophane Gusset Bags (2 x 1.5 x 5) and filled it with pillow mints. The pastel colors are perfect for spring!
WIN! WIN! WIN!
Wouldn't you LOVE to win this fabulous stamp set and matching die? Here's how to enter our giveaway. Tell your TWO craftiest friends about A Muse Studio and then post their names (first names only) in your comment on this post. I'll draw one winner on Thursday, January 29th.
BONUS! If we have more than 100 comments, we'll give away TWO prizes. YAHOO!
See you back here tomorrow for another sneak peek!
Darling projects! I'll be telling my two crafty friends, Doreen and Susan about the February release!!
