For our first reveal day, the design team is showcasing the Newton’s Graduation stamp set and coordinating dies with the Essential Alphabet dies. I know I probably say this but you are going to love the new stamps and dies, and the new stencil this month. The new Essential Alphabet die is a must-have! They are just the perfect size and you can use it for your cards, scrapbook layouts, planners and traveler’s notebooks, etc.
I started out by stamping my images onto Neenah solar white card stock and colored them in with my Copic markers. I die-cut the images using the coordinating dies.
I cut 3 A2 size pieces of smooth white card stock and die-cut my alphabets using the Essential Alphabets dies, three times in a row. I prefer to keep the dies intact so I don’t have to worry about finding the letters the next time I use them for my projects. These cards are very simple so without further ado, here’s the first one:

I wanted my second card to be more colorful, so I used a rainbow patterned paper. I also die-cut the clouds using the Sky Border dies, and added Stardust Stickles on the edges to make it look more whimsical.
Even though you can hardly see it in the photo, I also added glossy accents to the globe. Here’s the second card:
