Ink to Paper August Release - Day 4

You guys, the new Shutter It die set is PURE GENIUS!!!!  Oh my goodness!!!  I'll be honest, I was a bit intimidated when I first received it because I'm not a super technical stamper.  I was pleasantly surprised though, because it was easy to assemble!  I love interactive cards/projects but rarely create them because of the amount of time they usually take.  This new die set is very well thought out and makes it simple (not to mention time saving) to create the CUTEST window cards!!

For my window, I started by ink blending several yellows together to give the look of a warm light inside.  I stamped the sentiment (don't you just LOVE this font!!?) and then accessorized with the included little house plant.  I also tucked in  a stamped and die cut cat (from the new Scaredy Cat set) so that it looks like it's peeking out.

Here's a peek at the front while the shutters are closed.  They slide very easily, which is another thing that I'm impressed about!

For my second card, I used the shutter die from the Shutter It set in a completely different way.  I love the subtle texture the die cut has and thought it would look cute stacked together for a color blocked background.

I added some stamped and die cut flowers from the Ravishing Ranunculus set.

This is another sentiment from the Shutter It stamp set.  I really do love the sentiments and fonts in this set!

My third and final card features the new In Stitches: Acorn die set.  I think these little acorns would make the cutest little ornaments, don't you think? 

I stamped the Nifty Plaid stamp set on the background using Kraft Ink.  I wanted to keep the design light, so I used a lot of white.

The sentiments are from the previously release Just Sentiments: To & From Essentials set.  The embellishments are some pieces that I had in my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
