sorry for the delayed post today - i almost didn't make it, but it's day five and i have more to share, so here i am! new stamps, including zappy birthday and hey, cupcake!, will be available at the papertrey ink store tomorrow night. yay! but first, a couple of cards. i decided to take out last month's give me a hand for a little superhero fun. i thought of the flying superhero hands idea above during the countdown last month, and couldn't wait until zappy birthday got here to put it to paper. and then, as i've been working with the die cuts on my desk, wow kept spinning around and i kept seeing mom. i decided that it would be fun to put the two concepts together for a unique mom card - because moms are total superheros who fly above and beyond! wouldn't this be fun to receive?
i didn't mean to continue with the same colors again today, but i have so many pieces and parts from the comic strip paper collection on my desk that i couldn't help it. so for my next card, i decided to play with some the extra cover plate: comic strip pieces for a non-coverplate colorblocked card. the pieces can fit together in different ways, depending on their size, like the rectangle i pieced above. once i blocked the layout, i added a design element to each block - hey, cupcake! and the lightning bolt and speech bubble sentiment from zappy birthday, of course, and since it was out on my desk, i couldn't resist a hang loose hand from give me a hand! the cupcake is popped up for added dimension and sharp black and white calls attention to the sentiment. can't you picture doing the same thing with other papers and stamped diecuts? the possibilities really are endless with this cover plate! well, that's it for the countdown. if i can, i'll be back sometime tomorrow with a bonus post - either way, new product goes live at 10:00pm easter time! until then, check in with nichole and the design team for one last group post today and their release round ups tomorrow. what will they make you want?! thanks so much stopping by all week and leaving comments, and especially for all of your zappy birthday love - i'm so excited that your excited about it and i can't wait to see what you create!
'night!
