My first card features Garden Party Blooms (well, the little caterpillar is from Garden Party Critters). I used Mercy's sketch MTSC72. This set is full of whimsical images that you can mix and match with Garden Party Critters - there are a million possibilities! I love all the flowers and stems - they layer perfectly and add so much depth. Did you happen to notice that cloudy background? It's a 5.75" square background stamp - also designed by Taylor - and is SO much fun to use. Taylor is also introducing the Project Pantry, which is a coordinating kit of cardstock, papers, embellishments and little extras to keep you inspired. This month's Garden Party Project Pantry kit includes all of the following for only $22.95:
- 12 sheets of 8.5” x 11” cardstock
- 20 sheets of 6x6 patterned paper (from We R Memory Keepers 72 & Sunny collection)
- 5 yards of ribbon (1 yard each of 5 different styles)
- Jar of Glitter
- Sheet of Cardstock Stickers
- Charm Assortment (ladybug, butterfly, bee, flowers)
My second card uses SC278 and I went straight for the Garden Party Project Pantry kit again - I just can't help myself; this paper is YUMMY!!! The images are from Garden Party Critters - isn't this little bee hive just the cutest?! The bee and the sentiment are separate stamps, so you can place them wherever you'd like on your project.
Hop on over to Taylor's blog for all the information on this month's Project Pantry kit and give her a little shout out for her big jump to our lastes illustrator!
