Introducing Chalkboard Faith and Rustic Greetings

Hello, friends! We're revving up our previews today, featuring not one but two new sets! The first is the newest set by Nina B Designs, called Chalkboard Faith. You'll remember Chalkboard Birthday from our May release, which was a huge hit. Well, Nina has done it again, this time with words of faith and encouragement. Check it out...

Amy Crockett

Deborah Nolan

Karen Baker

Beautiful words of encouragement, fitting so many different styles of card-making. I love it!

Next, we have another new set by Angelica Suarez, called Rustic Greetings. This is more of a masculine stamp set, leaning towards the Christmas season, but with additional greetings to make the set more versatile. Take a look and let me know what you think...

The plaids (and stripes) you see on many of the cards are created with stamps in this set! Aren't they wonderful?

I have a set of Chalkboard Faith and a set of Rustic Greetings to give away. I'll draw a name for each one from the comments left on this post by 8:00 pm Pacific tonight. The winners will be announced in tomorrow's post. Good luck!

The winner of Speaking of Fall from all comments left on yesterday's post is...

CGHUNDLEY AKA CARLA FROM UTAH!!!

Congratulations, Carla! Please email your mailing address to me at thecraftsmeow@gmail.com and I'll ship your prize out to you right after the release. Enjoy!

Tomorrow we switch gears again and feature a more feminine Christmas set by Clare Buswell that you won't want to miss. It's so cute! See you then!

Introducing Speaking of Fall

Welcome, TCM friends, to the continuation of our previews of the FIVE new stamp sets being released on Saturday, September 21st for your paper crafting pleasure. As I mentioned yesterday, we will have a bit of Autumn and a bit of Christmas all rolled into one for you. Today, we're continuing with our Autumn theme with a new stamp set by Angelica Suarez called Speaking of Fall. This also happens to be the new free gift with purchase starting Saturday. Behold!

This is a fun set to play with. The leaves are two- or three-step stamping, depending on the look you want to achieve. First you stamp the solid color, then you stamp the outline and veins and/or the polka dots. Very cool and super easy!

I have a set of Speaking of Fall for one lucky person who leaves a comment on this post by 8:00 pm Pacific tonight. The winner will be announced in tomorrow's post. Good luck!

The winner of Autumn Borders from all comments left on yesterday's post is...

Relax and Enjoy the Day

Morning, friends! It's Jinny here to share a card inspired by the colors of fall.

I LOVE the look of stamped images on patterned paper, so that's where I began with this creation.

Throw in a couple other patterns, lots more stamping, and a trio of textural elements, not to mention a hint of glitter, and that "RELAX AND ENJOY YOUR DAY" sentiment gets this card ready for a number of different occasions, which makes it the perfect addition to my stash.

Those little envelopes also make a great spot for a gift card for the intended recipient.

Thanks so much for stopping by, y'all! Have a truly blessed weekend!
