Happy Monday! Thanks for stopping by. We're releasing our June Collection a bit early this month due to the Memorial Day holiday. We've got three FUN stamp sets for this release and I will be revealing one stamp set each day. We'll be doing a giveaway each day where you'll have a chance to win the featured stamp set so be sure to post a comment each day to enter. Let's get started!
Today's stamp set is called Let's Be Mermaids and it is AWESOME! This set, designed by Nina, is FILLED with fun stamps and great sentiments. A matching die set is available.
Let's see what our talented designers have created for you.
This first card designed by Melissa features the two adorable sea horses, the heart and the sea you soon sentiment from this set.
So cute!
You can see more of Melissa's work on her blog, Inked Regards.
These next cards by Ilina combine the fun fish and shells in the set and I'm in LOVE!
Ilina's coloring is AMAZING!

This next card by Lisa features the sweet little mermaid in this set and one of my fave sentiments: "When all else fails, be a mermaid"
I love the way she has the other elements floating in a circle around the mermaid and the twinkle stickers are the perfect finishing touch!
To see more of Lisa's work, visit her blog Lisa's Creative Niche.
I've got one more card from Emily that also features the mermaid. Emily's created a fun shaker card using the Tag bundle die set and it's the perfect setting for our little mermaid!
Mermaids should always sparkle!
One of my favorite things to do when I lived in Seattle was take my girls to the beach at Carkeek Park. We loved finding colorful beach glass and Emily's card is a fun reminder of these beach adventures!

Posted by: kel h. | 05/22/2017 at 12:55 PM
Oooh, this set is adorable and each of the designers made a cute card. I'm not doing anything fancy these days - just enjoy water coloring with my daughter.

I love making shaker cards. My toddler has started school few months back so these days I am making/printing some lunchbox notes for him. In fact today(first time) I sent him a cute smily lunchbox notes which I made last week.
Posted by: Pankti | 05/22/2017 at 02:48 PM
I am watercoloring right now.
Posted by: Louise | 05/22/2017 at 03:07 PM
Aww, love the smiling fish and the sentiment and the designers have done a great job! I have yet to conquer ink blending - it's a love-hate relationship because the results are worth the elbow grease and I'm still stuck on amateur hour. I also love making shaker cards!
Posted by: Tanya. S | 05/22/2017 at 03:17 PM
I love using dies in card making. This is such a cute set, and the designers did a beautiful job!
Posted by: Rebecca H | 05/22/2017 at 03:41 PM
I use to sell Amuse and had to quit didn't get ,that many partys , but would like to see the online catlog as I did like there specials and there items , do you have a rep any where in IN. so if you could tell me how to get in touch with Amuse sure would like it, and where the closet rep is so I could order.
Posted by: Nancy Ogan | 05/22/2017 at 04:20 PM
My favorite is always glitter and this set lends itself nicely. Mostly I like to cut and color. Diecuts are da bomb!
Posted by: PKBB | 05/22/2017 at 05:11 PM
This looks like such a fun set! Love that cute mermaid!
I love using die cuts on my cards these days, and also embossing is always a favorite technique!
Posted by: Denise Bryant | 05/22/2017 at 06:19 PM
This is going to be a very cute set!! I am enjoying a little bit of water coloring (but I only dabble!).
Posted by: Becca Yahrling | 05/22/2017 at 06:21 PM
Amuse never disappoints! These cards are wonderful; so unique and fun! I love all of these ideas; thanks so much to those wonderful designers! 😊 I love using embossing and die-cuts on my cards, as well as washi tape😊❤️ Thank you so much for the chance to win! :-)
Posted by: Mary Myers | 05/22/2017 at 07:09 PM
The mermaid set is brilliant. The mermaid and friends are so cute and take me back to the early days of A Muse! Love all the he images and the sentiments shown. I love using glitter to make glitter die cuts, especially the mermaid glitter!
Posted by: Kamila | 05/22/2017 at 09:18 PM
Love the mermaid. Water colored anything is my favorite these days!
Posted by: Cynthia | 05/22/2017 at 11:18 PM
Fun new set! I'm still a Copic and die cut gal...love the clean look!
Posted by: Doreen | 05/22/2017 at 11:27 PM
Right now I love stamping my image and using my copic markers to color in the image. I love using the matching dies.
Posted by: Missy | 05/22/2017 at 11:48 PM
What an awesome new set! Must have it!! My favorite technique is still heat embossing. Nothing makes me happier.
Posted by: Heather M | 05/22/2017 at 11:56 PM
What a sweet mermaid and friends! Can't wait to add this to my stash. My favorite stamping technique is watercoloring... it is SO relaxing.
Posted by: Isa | 05/22/2017 at 11:58 PM
How sweet! I LOVE the mermaid. Must have her. I am a coloring gal... I mostly stamp in black ink and color away. Makes me happy.
Posted by: Genevieve | 05/23/2017 at 12:00 AM
Another awesome set by Nina! I love trying new things. Right now I am having fun with your Splash inks. There's so much you can do with them. I'm in love! Thanks for all the inspiration.
Posted by: Stephanie | 05/23/2017 at 12:04 AM
These stamps are sooooo adorable! I love under the sea images ❤ One of my favorite cardmaking techniques at the moment is stamping small images repeatedly, to create my own "pattern paper" background. I love the effect of that. I love how Ilina incorporated that technique, only on the center area of her card. I thought it looked amazing! :)
Posted by: Milene Tiberius | 05/23/2017 at 12:28 AM
My four year old daughter is totally in mermaids at the moment. Would love to get the mermaid stamp set and create cards with her.
My favorite card making technique is watercoloring with my distress inks at the moment!
Posted by: Lizzie | 05/23/2017 at 06:21 AM
I'm enjoying watercolor wash backgrounds right now. Love the new stamp set!
Posted by: Melissa | 05/23/2017 at 07:33 AM
Cute cards! I love the under the sea theme :) Right now my favorite card making technique is ink blending over stencils. I always love the results!
Posted by: Elise S. | 05/23/2017 at 01:22 PM
All these cards are awesome !
Right now, my favorite technique is working with water base ink pen. With all the tips I got here and there, working on Bristol paper, I'm starting to be happy with my coloring, LOL !
Posted by: Isabelle | 05/23/2017 at 01:34 PM
I almost always use stamps as part of the
card. After that - it's hard telling
what I'll be doing. I use a lot of
die cuts - I like the look of depth
that I can get with pop dots.
Love Ilina's card. the colors
and the grouping is darling.
thanks for sharing.

Posted by: Shannon Kahn | 05/24/2017 at 12:40 PM
Right now I'm into stamping, coloring and die cutting to add lots of layers and dimension. Just finished 30 "Christmas in July" 4th birthday party invites and that was fun and I got to showoff some cool ideas.
Posted by: Marlene Aulenbacher | 05/24/2017 at 12:49 PM
Very cute. Love the sea horses. I like to experiment with different ways to ink backgrounds for my cards.
Posted by: Sue LD | 05/24/2017 at 01:16 PM

Posted by: Sandie | 05/24/2017 at 01:24 PM

Great shaker card! Love the colors!
Posted by: Paula Carden | 05/24/2017 at 01:36 PM
I really like the sunset Emily created!
Posted by: Paula Carden | 05/24/2017 at 01:37 PM
Love these! I love using my Copic Markers and Glitter, Glitter, Glitter on my cards. Even if I do not win the set, I might have to get the Mermaid stamp. I just crocheted a mermaid tail blanket for my Granddaughter. Having a mermaid card to go with it would be the icing on the cake :)
Posted by: Mary | 05/24/2017 at 02:21 PM
WOW, I almost missed the fun here! Fantastic cards by the DT and a fantastic release!
As for a fae technique these days, I am really all over the place! I love doing/trying it all. however I do seem to be colouring a lot lately with my Zigs!
Posted by: Teresa Doyle | 05/24/2017 at 05:07 PM
Absolutely LOVE this set for the beach theme, especially the seahorse and mermaid since aqua/turquoise is my FAVORITE color!! My go to technique is usually tombo markers and glitter with part or all of some embossing folder thrown in somehow along with ribbon. All coordinated of course!
Posted by: Colleen C. Ely | 05/24/2017 at 06:44 PM
What an adorable set! Thanks for all of the inspiration!
Posted by: Patti J. | 05/24/2017 at 07:36 PM
Im into shaker cards right now following a class at my LSS. I'm trying small "add on" shaker elements right now (crossing fingers).
Posted by: Jessicak | 05/24/2017 at 11:24 PM
Love the dimension that sponging a little ink color onto die cuts can give to an image!
Posted by: Carol B | 05/24/2017 at 11:46 PM
I'm enjoying pairing Copic colors in the stamps. Love the color and detail!
Posted by: Debbie Kruse | 05/25/2017 at 12:49 AM
Shaker cards. I can't get enough!
Posted by: Emma Sleppy | 05/25/2017 at 10:51 AM
