Welcome to the The Craft’s Meow April Release Blog Hop! I hope you enjoyed the previews, and you’re surely waiting impatiently for the big reveal

Please note, that Blogger has been causing problems for some of our designers all week long so you may come across a few of our designer’s blogs that do not appear updated with today’s blog hop post. If that happens, please refer to the hop order at the end of my post or on The Craft’s Meow Store Blog to continue on, but make sure you plan to check back on the other blogs because you’ll need to leave a comment on each blog in order to win our BIG PRIZE!

So, what’s the prize, you ask?? All SIX sets released this month!
The deadline to comment on each stop in the hop is 9:00pm PDT, Monday, April 23rd.

On my card today, I combined three of the newly released sets. I white embossed the border (row of pearls) from Inspired By Audrey, and stamped the decorative label in orange. In it I put the sentiment from Giddy Up (a set which can be your FREE gift, with every $50 purchase from the Store).
The car from Vintage Rides, was coloured with Copics, and mounted with foam tape, over the panel die cut with S4-132 Classic Rectangles LG and S4-133 Classic Scalloped Rectangles LG.

I combined the DS48 sketch, with the colours of PDCC128:

Yee-haw!! We’re rolling up the April release for the The Craft’s Meow, with a fantastic set designed by Nina!

The set is called Giddy Up, and can be yours with a minimum of $50 purchase from the TCM Store! Yep, you got it right!!

It’s one of my favourites this month.
I haven’t been a huge fan of an Old West theme, but there’s some really sweet stuff around that made me approach it more liberally. After seeing this baby, my heart opened for good… just look at this horsey!!

The label is also a part of the set, and I slit openings on both of its sides, to thread the ribbon through.
The focal point was created by combining Spellbinders™ S4-335 Star Circles, Melissa Frances scalloped sticker, and the image stamped in Versa Magic ‘Sahara Sand’.
The damask paper comes from Pink Paislee’s ‘Nantucket’. Mmmmm…

For my inspiration today, I picked the FMS31 sketch (turned on the side), and the colours of CR84FN52:

Please visit the rest of the DT’s blogs, as they’re sharing more projects with us today. Also, save some time for the Blog Hop tomorrow, which will sum up the release with more stamped goodness from all of us. See you then!

Hello! I’m glad you’re here, to join us in the second day of The Craft’s Meow release!

Today marks the introduction of Karen Baker‘s inaugural stamp set, called Inspired by Audrey. Audrey Hepburn, that is. And it’s sophisticated and feminine as Audrey was herself…

The tiara-like label fits nicely in Spellbinders™ Nestabilities S5-026 Labels Twenty, and after having it stamped in Memento Lulu Lavender, I chose one of the lovely quotes and sponged everything with Distress Ink.
The papers and die cut embellishments, come from the Basic Grey “Plumeria” collection. As much as I’m more inclined to use purple these days, it’s still way out of my comfort zone, especially combined with mustard yellow and…. pink! Gosh!
Hence, it’s a perfect card, methinks, for RCC49… It asks for bright colours that we wouldn’t normally choose.

Now, the fun part is, that the strips of paper at the top and bottom of the card, are stamped. Well, partly, because one of BG plain papers was the base… The decorative elements were stamped in brown, and I coloured in some of the flowers with a pink Copic.
I hope you like the effect… I really do!
See you tomorrow, for the third day of previews and two more gorgeous sets! xx
