Hello and welcome to the new stamp release blog hop for AnnaBelle Stamps. You should have arrived from the very sweet Kylie’s blog.

Today, two new stamp sets are being released along with some new dies! First up here is the stamp set Easter Chickadee with matching dies!

For this card I used the dies and a sentiment and created a colourful stack of birds.

Spring blessings

Next I used some of the cute flowers from the set to create a little garden scene.

And last but not least is the Easter Blessings stamp set. I just fell in love with those tulips!

This card was a really quick (and small) birthday card I made for a friend’s son who had a birthday last week. I already had the rocket coloured in, so it took less than 5 mins to assemble, which is unheard of for this slow crafter. The rocket stamp/die is from Papertrey Ink and I just can’t get enough of my AnnaBelle Stamps background stamp – BBD#5.

Supplies

Stamps: Papertrey Ink – Boy Basics: Out of this World Stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps BBD#5

Ink: Memento – Bamboo Leaves, Tuxedo Black Versafine – Onyx Black

Card:  AnnaBelle Stamps smooth white cardstock, Hero Arts folded note cards – Grass

Other Supplies: PTI Rocket Die, Cuttlebug, Copic Markers, Foam dimensionals

Short and sweet today. Thanks for dropping by,
