Colorado Craft Company - Anita Jeram New Release Hop!

 

Hello Friends! Welcome to the new Colorado Craft Company Anita Jeram Blog Hop, where we're showcasing several new Anita Jeram stamp and die sets, along with a few new Lovely Legs stamp and die sets.

The Bon Appetit set is a great one that features an oversized Anita Jeram kitty-in-the-kitchen image, complete with some french mice at her feet. I love that there are coordinating dies that come with these stamp sets, as they allow you to make a shaped card! I just make sure to cut with the fold of the card staying inside the die, and then add another die cut of the whole image on top of the card base.

We are always the boss of our own cards, and this time I felt the mice on the bottom were a little much to have on the inside of the card. So I cut them off, and just left the cute mice on the front of the card (with one squeaking out "Oui! Oui!")

What a fun party going on in that kitchen!

The other card I made uses the Hats Off to You stamp and die set. My oldest is graduation high school this year, and aside from feeling weepy once a week, I've been busy trying to get the house ready for his graduation party. We're having our deck redone, kitchen redone, patio stained, exterior trim repainted, basically everything we should have done when we moved in 7 years ago! 

In addition to getting ready for the party, I'm going to need a lot of graduation cards for Logan's friends. Their school color is royal blue, so I've stamped the sentiments in that color, as well as colored the gowns that color.

Most of the cards will go to his guy friends, so I used the male graduate as the main image, and stamped the female graduates as part of the crowd below the jumping grad. The CONGRATS sentiment comes as individual letters so I was able to arch the main sentiment. The secondary sentiment is nice to pair with the tiny cap stamps

There will be a few cards I'll need to have ready for girl friends (he'd clarify, friends who happen to be girls, not girlfriends), so I kept the same design, only stamped one of the females in the middle. 

I think this is a very useful set with many different possibilities! I can honestly say I don't have anything remotely like it, and I will get a lot of use from it. Next to birthday, I've recently needed to have grad cards on hand the most.
