Introducing Hope Blooms and Ladies & Gents!

Hello friends! Welcome to our previews of the SIX new stamp sets that will be released on Saturday, July 21st for your crafting pleasure! Today we begin with two very lovely sets... one by Karen Baker called Hope Blooms, and the other by Elizabeta Kushner called Ladies & Gents.

I'm showcasing the entire cards/projects created by our design team, stamp illustrators and guest designer so that you can easily refer back later for inspiration! However, I do hope you'll stop by for the details and show the girls some love. :) They adore hearing from you!

First my cards... don't fall out of your chair... I really did make cards this month. Could it be that my mojo is finally coming home to roost? We'll see!

Did I mention these are lovely stamp sets? 

How would you like to win either Hope Blooms or Ladies & Gents for yourself? All you need to do is make the rounds and leave a comment here by 9:00 pm Pacific tonight. A winner for each stamp set will be randomly drawn from all comments and announced in our post tomorrow. 

I hope you'll join us tomorrow for a look at two more stamp sets, including one by Mabelle R-O and one by Amy Wanford. See you then!

    Your design team and guest designer did this release proud. And your card creation with the top hat - definitely going to try to recreate that as it is one of the neatest masculine cards I've seen ... love your pairing the stripes with the polka dots, and the color choices were what made this for me! And thanks for a chance to win such a generous prize!
