Hello Thursday January 2011

Hello, friends!!

Today is the first Hello Thursday of the year! How very exciting!! There are 7 new releases and all of them are pretty awesome, so it is a great kick off for 2011. I will give you a little more details as the post goes on, but there are a few of the new ones that are just total must haves in my mind.

Today I am giving away one of each (4 in total) of Emma's FABULOUS and I mean FABULOUS stamp sets. Now listen, I am very picky about what stamps I like and do not like. I consider myself a stamp snob. I only usually buy from Papertrey Ink, Close To My Heart, Verve, and SU! I know what I like and when I like it I tend to buy it (much to my husband's dismay). When I saw Emma's stamps I knew I had to get them all. They are some of the best that are being designed by our fellow Cricut Sisters. I think she is going to do very well!

Anyway, she donated 4 sets to me to giveaway and as such I will be picking four winners next Thursday. All you have to do to win is follow this blog or subscribe via email and leave a comment on this post. That's it!

Wanna check out Emma site? Click here to check out her site ==> My Creative Time    

I have used these stamps throughout my post, so you can see them in action. I will be using them probably a lot in coming weeks.  Here is a look at what I will be giving away...




Now down to business..I am doing them in order of which I like the most...



The first cartridge I am going to show you is called Martha Stewart Birthday Cake Art. It is one of my favorites of the release because it has so many fun cuts and a great font! I love all of the Martha cartridges and consider them to be some of my all time favorites. This is no different!

I used SU! paper and ribbon.
this layout is for my niece who is named Alexis, but we call her Lexy girl.
This cartridge also has a great border feature!


The next cartridge is called Florals Embellished and let me tell you this cartridge has BEAUTIFUL cuts on it. They are very intricate and very detailed and just plain gorgeous!! The phrases on this cartridges are mainly mom related, so this cartridge is perfect for Mother's Day card making and scrapbooking. 

Again SU! paper was used.
There are lots of layers on this flower, but it is so worth it!
This is one of Emma's fab stamps!


Formal Occasions is next on the list. One of the reasons this is such a terrific cartridge is the frame feature. This feature is great for scrapbook journals and as something to stamp on as your central focus on card. I will be using this cartrige a ton because of this feature. Also, it has some really pretty rose shapes and I am a sucker for a rose cut!

I used Papertrey Ink paper and ribbon.
The sentiment is another one of Emma's which is punched out using a SU! punch.
I popped some of the layers up with dimensional adhesive to add a little more depth to these roses.


Next up is Kate's ABC's which is the girl version of Nate's ABC's. It has some really beautiful cuts on it and has an Easter-Spring time feel to it. This will be a go to cartridge when ever I need a baby girl card!

The paper is from Close To My Heart. The ribbon is SU!
This little rabbit is just too cute for words!
I used the font from this cartridge for 'bunny' and the font from Baby Steps for 'honey'. The shape it is on is also on Kate's ABC's in the font section. Isn't it beautiful!
This is a journaling tag from Anna Griffin.





Speaking of baby cards the next cartridge is called Baby Steps and it has everything you would need to make a baby scrapbook or  decorate a nursery. It also has lots of cuts that are perfect for baby cards. It has a beautiful font that could easily be one of my new favorites!

I used My Mind's Eye paper.
I used a cuttlebug folder to add a little more to the background of the card.
This is a Papertrey Ink stamp and die.




Camping Critters is the next cartridge today that I will be showing and it is perfect for those of you with children in scouts (as I do) or if you just love the outdoors! My favorite feature on this cartridge is the 'badge' feature. It has tons of nice layered images that are perfect for cards or as scrapbook embellishments!

This is also My Mind's Eye. The ribbon is Papertrey Ink, as is the sentiment.
This owl is from the 'badge' feature.




Last but certainly not least is All Sports. The reason it is last on my list is.. well.. I hate sports! I admit it and am ok with it. My husband plays golf and watches cricket, but I really loathe watching/playing sports. Now this could all change when my little one starts playing, but currently I have no interest whatsoever! That aside, for those of you who have children in sports, love sports yourself, or your husband plays in a league of some kind this cartridge is for you! I am glad I have it though because sooner than later I know I will be scrapbooking soccer matches and peewee baseball/football games! The coolest feature on this cartridge I think is the word art! Love a cartridge with good word art!

The paper is from SU! as are the buttons.
See ...great word art!
I cut him out at 5", so I am not sure how well he will cut out smaller. He was very easy to assemble at this size.

Ok, that is all I have for you today! Now as always keep checking back with me on into next week because I have even more projects made with the new cartridges starting with a card made with the Martha Stewart one tomorrow!

Also, stop by Obsessed with Scrapbooking because Joy,  will have some stuff up too. She has the flu and we did not get these cartridges until Tuesday, so she will be a little slower getting them up than usual. It will be worth the wait though because she always makes such pretty things!

Have a terrific Thursday!!

I LOVE the font that you used for Lexy! Great projects. I had no idea new cartridges were even coming out. Thanks for the great info on them and I hope that I win some stamps! I can't be a stamp snob because I only own about 5 since I'm a scrapbooker only recently adding card making to my addiction. I've been looking around to find some to purchase and hadn't seen these. I'd like to win them and enjoy them so much I become a stamp snop too! LOL. Here's to hoping and thanks for the chance to win. I'm a long time stalker...oh I mean follower of your blog!

I don't see any I can't live without right now but that often changes as I see the full handbook and all the creative things you guys come up with. The camping one is the most interesting to me.

Yikes more carts I just have to have. HAHAHa TFS Thank you for the chance to win some great stamps

MontuckyGirl said...

These are such great carts and your examples are wonderful! I'd like to share something I have learned from you and maybe I'm a day late with this as i am a slow learner, but I have noticed that instead of using a solid color for your die cuts you use a pattern of the color you'd normally use. For some reason that just never dawned on me for the most part. Like the golfer. He looks great with patterned papers for his shirt and his shoes. Thanks, for that I can now add it to my creative solutions!

Wow great projects. I am so going to get in trouble when my husband gets paid. I love so many of the new cartridges, but I am with you, I hate sports. I am already an email follower.

All great projects Melanie!!
It's funny last year at Fathers day my niece called me and need 4 fathers day cards with base ball, 2 golf and hunting!!
This cart would have come in handy.

Wow, Melanie, you outdid yourself! I really, really love the mother's day card!

I am a total newbie to stamping so I am super appreciative of you letting us know which stamps you like best. Thanks!

Awesome new stamp sets. Please pick me, these are just what I've been looking for. I love the new Kate's ABCs. Will have to have it to go along with my Nate's ABCs. Besides, my granddaughter is Kaitlyn, Kait for short.

EllenM said...

I just love all of the new carts. Which one to buy first...humm....think I'll go with the camping one. Lots and lots of boy/girl scout and summer camp pages yet to do so this would be perfect. Thanks for the chance to win.

suzyQ2 said...

Wow! All of the cards are amazing! How do you come up with so many designs and construct them in such a short amount of time? I love all the floral cuts.

Campin' Critters looks like a great cart. I think that will be the top of my list although the sports one looks good also.

Baby Steps makes me SO excited - my Fiance and I just found out his sister is having a baby girl and she will be our first niece/newphew. I cannot WAIT to go get this cart and start making an album for her! TFS! The stamps would be an awesome addition to my collection. I don't have many stamps and would love to start with something you love and recommend so highly.

Really lovely projects! I especially like the roses on the Happy Spring card - beautiful! My daughter's middle name is Rose and she loves graphics of roses - I might have to get this cart just for that reason!
