Today is our FINAL day of Sneak Peeks which means that you'll be able to purchase all of these new goodies TOMORROW! Yippee!
Today I'm sharing two FUN products. One is a new set of Paper Tape that is perfect for all your papercrafting projects and your planner too! The other is a fun new mini set that I think you're going to LOVE. There's a fun surprise with this set that I will reveal tomorrow.
Paper Tape
Last month we introduced our paper tape and we're adding three more rolls this month. Here's a clean and simple card by Melissa showcasing the green stripe paper tape.
The green color is fresh and happy!
I shared this photo a few days ago. Did you spot the pink polka-dot tape?
This card by Lisa shows all three new paper tapes. I love the fun background she created!
It's easy to line up the tapes and the adhesive is very forgiving if you don't get it right the first time.
It's great for adding a pop of contrasting color on any project!
These flowers from the Summer Blooms stamp set look fresh with the green stripe!
It die cuts beautifully! Simply add a few strips to a piece of white cardstock and then cut your shape.
Dear Friend stamp set
This mini stamp set is very sweet. It includes a big bloom, two leaves and two sentiments.
I have beautiful blue hydrangeas blooming in my yard at the moment which was the inspiration for this card.
These sweet cards were designed by Ilina. These designs would work with any color scheme.
The sentiments are from the new Banner Sentiments stamp set, also part of the July Collection.
I hope you've enjoyed our Sneak Peeks. These new products will be available for purchase tomorrow. Yippee! 'Til then, post a comment and you could with the new Paper Tape Assortment and the Dear Friend stamp and die set combo.
I so enjoyed reading the clever comments from yesterday's post. For today's giveaway, please post a comment telling us your favorite new product from the new July Collection.

Happy hump day! I'm glad you liked the Summer Blooms set we featured yesterday! Today's set is one you NEED. It includes twenty-one stamps! Eighteen are sentiments and the other three are banner shapes that you can stamp the sentiments inside of. The best part... if you own the Be Brave die set it will work with this set!
Let's take a peek at what our designers have created with this set.
Melissa used the straight-edge banner stamp and combined it with the thinking of you stamp. There are six sentiments to go with each banner shape so there are lots of options! Of course, you can use the sentiments on their own and you can also combine the banners with other sentiments you may have that fit.
It's pretty easy to get the sentiments to fit inside the banner shapes but a stamp positioner will ensure that it's PERFECT every time!
To see more of Melissa's work, please visit her blog.
Ilina created a beautiful wreath with the Summer Blooms set and added a curvy banner and the sentiment you are such a blessing. So pretty!
I love the dimension this card has by popping up some of the flowers and sentiment with 3D foam adhesive.
Please visit Ilina's blog to see more of her work.
Here is another card, designed by Emily, that uses the curved banner stamp.
I love how Emily stamped the banner and sentiment on our pink gingham cardstock! Did you know we now offer a Gingham Assortment?
Here's another fun card, designed by Emily, where she uses the straight edge banner in a different way - she's flipped it upside down. Is it really upside down? Not really... it's just another way you can use the banner!
I love the pretty wreath she made using flowers from the Summer Blooms stamp set.
Please visit Emily's blog to see more of her work.
Lisa's project uses the third banner frame and one of the sentiments and shows that this set is great for cards but also wonderful for gifts and tags too!
To see more of Lisa's work, please visit her blog.
I hope you've enjoyed today's sneak peeks. This is definitely one of my new "go to" stamp sets! The sentiments are so versatile.

Hello and welcome back! I've just returned from a fun family trip to London, Prague and Iceland with my girls. We saw many beautiful sights, took thousands of photos (thank goodness for digital!), learned interesting historical facts and sampled lots of new foods. I'll share some photos once we've finished with the July sneak peeks. A special thanks to Emily for keeping up with the blog and sharing the work of our fabulous June Guest Designers while I was away and also to our awesome warehouse staff for keeping things running smoothly.
Today is the start of Sneak Peeks for the new July Collection. We've got THREE days of sneak peeks and a GIVEAWAY on each day. Be sure to follow along and comment on each post so you'll maximize your chances of winning!
This release includes two highly requested stamp set themes. Today's set is called Summer Blooms and it's perfect for all your summer crafty projects. This set includes 13 floral elements and a fabulous Thank You sentiment.
Let's see what our talented designers have in store for you today.
Ilina is kicking things off with a bit of beautiful water coloring. I love how she embossed the flowers and leaves in white for a softer look.
The watercolor background and the onyx sequins set off the scene beautifully. The hello word die is a perfect sentiment for this card.
Melissa used the chevron banner die set to create a pocket for this pretty card. Clever!
A matching die set will be available which makes it so easy to layer the flowers and leaves to create a realistic bouquet. Do you see the pretty pearl stickers in the flower centers?
Lisa used the flowers and leaves to create a pretty background on this card. I love the variety of flowers in this new set.
Isn't this Thank You stamp awesome?!
Emily also chose to create a beautiful patterned card front with the flowers and leaves. She then used our new Stitched Circle Windows die set to create a window to stamp the Thank you stamp. Don't you just love the fresh colors on this card?
The blow is pretty finishing touch!
I hope you're excited about this new set. I've been wanting some new floral stamps for a while and it's a popular request. Want to win this set for FREE?
Post a comment here letting us know which social media app you use to inspire your crafting the most. Please just list one. We'll take all answers through 8 am EST June 24th and a winner will be announced later that day.
Have a crafty day!

Hello! I'm back with the final cards from Ceal. Both cards today feature our Be Yourself stamp set. This first design is so fun using all the great words in the set - it's so happy, colorful, and full of inspiration!
And my favorite of Ceal's cards, I saved for last! Ceal is a master of the emboss resist. It is such a cool effect! And the pink ink paired with the scallop bermuda card base makes a perfect summer combination.
I hope you enjoyed Ceal's guest designs this month! Thanks so much to Ceal for sharing her beautiful work with us! Be sure to leave a comment for Ceal.
Stay tuned - Linda will be back with SNEAK PEEKS of our July release this week!

Hello! I'm back with the Karin's final Guest Designer projects. I saved my favorites for last! *wink*
The first card today features the Let's Be Mermaids stamp and die sets. Karin beautifully watercolored the sea creatures and adhered them to a colorful watery background. (Be sure to scroll down to see her last card featuring the fish stamp!)
On this next Narly design, Karin used the rolling seas background for the water. We have two options for the sunrays in the background - our grunged sunrays stamp - or one of the papers in our Everything's Rosy pack.
This last card is a fun use of the Lots of Dots stamp set to make a bubbly water background for the fish! It makes him look like a little fish in a big ocean!
A HUGE thanks to Karin Åkesdotter for sharing her talent with us this month! Please leave a comment here to let Karin know you appreciated seeing her work.

Hello! I have more summer fun cards to share with you today from Ceal! This first simple and gorgeous card features images from our Be Yourself stamp set. I love the watery base below the flamingo - which is actually one of the stamps in the set. And Ceal made a cool monochrome patterned paper border using the tropical images in the same set!
The next two designs feature our new Hey Gull Friend stamp set. The happy sunshine, heart shades, and flip flop images are in the same set!
Ceal used white embossing on the flip flops so that the color would resist the embossed images. The colors just pop!
I have a few more of Ceal's cards to share, so I'll be back with those later this week. Thanks for visiting and be sure to leave a comment for Ceal!

I'm back with more designs from Karin! This first card is a fun use of the circles found in our Lots of Dots stamp set.
I love Karin's coloring on the mermaid on this next card. And now is the best time to get the Rolling Seas background stamp that Karin used for the water - it's a June Special - on sale for 50% off (while supplies last)!
Lots of die cutting on this next pyramid box. Karin cut out circle windows and paired them with die cut seahorses from the Let's Be Mermaids set for a fun treat box!
I have a few more of Karin's cards to share, so stay tuned for those and be sure to leave some love for Karin! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Hello! I'm back with more clean summer designs from Ceal! The first two cards today feature images from our new Hey Gull Friend stamp set.
Ceal stamped, die cut, and colored the heart glasses image to make fun tinted shades! I love her combination of colors. Each image is popped up on 3D foam adhesive to give it dimension.
This next design includes a background from our mod background 2 stamp set. It makes the perfect watery backdrop for the seagull!
This last card features our Be Yourself stamp set. The flamingo is die cut as is the wing and both are mounted with 3D foam adhesive for dimension. The pink really pops next to the green and I love this sentiment!
I hope you enjoyed Ceal's cards today. Stay tuned for more from Ceal and be sure to post a comment.
Happy Friday!
