For our last reveal day, the design team is showcasing 5 new mini stamp sets and 4 coordinating dies. They are called Pina Koala, Cat Treats, Flip-Flop Life, Vitamin Sea and Floaty Goat. Here’s what they look like:

Since we are featuring a ton of products this week, I will not have a step-by-step tutorial on how I made the cards. However, be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel because I will posting video tutorials for most of the cards that you see today in the next few weeks.

Here’s my card showcasing the Pina Koala stamp set and coordinating dies. I also combined some images from the Aloha Newton stamp set.

Isn’t this card so adorable? I love that the Koala peeks through the window and the flowers and the pina-colada images I added gave it a whimsical look!

When I was designing this card, I was thinking about Jennifer and Jeff Jackson sipping through their drinks while they were on a cruise last month. I don’t have the courage to go on a cruise just yet but one of these days, I probably will.

For my second card, I used the adorable Cat Treats stamp set. A simple design but I’m happy how this turned out.

These images are so cute! Here’s a little close-up:

I hope you guys enjoyed all of the products we featured this week. Don’t forget to check out tomorrow’s blog hop to see more projects by the whole design team plus SPECIAL GUESTS!

For Day 3, the design team is showcasing the Shark Frenzy and Flamingo Flock stamp set:

You will notice for today’s post, I have a similar card design for both cards I’m featuring today.

Here is my card showcasing the Shark Frenzy stamp set. I also used the Sunscape stencil to create my scene. I wanted to create another birthday card since I always send those out to my family and friends.

I also used the Frames and Flags die set.

I think this stamp set os so much fun and it has a lot of possibilities.

Here’s my card featuring the Flamingo Flock stamp set. This one is really cute. I wanted one flamingo to stand out above the crowd so I only colored one in pink. The rest were in gray.

I don’t have a ton of friends but the ones I do have just stand out above the crowd. They are what I call “my people”.

Here’s another look:

I hope you like my cards today and got inspired.

with the Cozy Campers stamp set and coordinating dies:

Here is my card showcasing the Newton’s Summer Treats stamp set and coordinating dies.

I wanted a happy birthday card with a shaker element. Just looking at this image makes me want to go to Baskin Robbins to get a banana-split! Ice cream is my favorite dessert so thank goodness I don’t live near one or I will be weighing a ton.

I used my sakura gelli-roll white pen to add details to the images.

Here’s my card showcasing the Cozy Campers stamp set and coordinating dies. I love this stamp set so much because I love camping! One of these days when my husband and I move back home permanently, he promised to get me a camper. I just wish it’ll be as cute as Jennifer’s drawings.

I created an evening scene with the full moon. The only thing missing on the table is a glass of wine (or two), or maybe a camp fire!

This card just makes me dream of camping again. Maybe the next time my husband and I go camping, he will take me to Montana!

For our first reveal day, the design team is showcasing the:

Narly Mermaids and coordinating dies

Purrmaid-Newton and Coordinating Dies

Manatee-rific and coordinating dies

With two stencils – Tropical Fish and Seashells

I know this sounds redundant but each reveal month, I am just blown away by the talented Jennifer Jackson. It seems that every month, it just gets better and better!

Here is my Narly Mermaid card. I also combined this card with the Tranquil Tides stamp set to create my under-water scene.

I just love the sparkling jewels that I added to my scene to make them look like bubbles. Here’s a little close-up:

The second stamp set is called Purr-maid Newton. Oh my goodness! I have been hounding Jennifer to create a mermaid cat and my wishes finally came true! Haha! This stamp set is a MUST-HAVE!

Once again I combined the stamp set with the Tranquil Tides stamp set, with the Sea Borders die set and the Waves stencil.

I used the Sea Borders die set to create the fun waves. Here’s another look:

Last but not the least, here is my card using the Manatee-rific stamp set and coordinating dies with the Sunscape stencil. Just looking at this card makes me happy!

I added more sparkling clear jewels to make them look like bubbles. I also LOVE that the die cuts the middle piece and the Manatee will hug tine embellishments like heart or seashell included in the stamp set. SUPER ADORABLE! Here’s a little close-up:

Which one is your favorite? I can’t pick one because I love them all!
