Sneak Peek: Quill Cuties Stamps, Radiating Circles, & Zig Zag Circles

Hello, and welcome to day 2 of our Spring Sneak Peek Week!  All this week I am sharing cards showcasing our newest collection, which will be available for purchase this Friday!

Card No.1: Today, I am sharing cards using our new Quill Cuties Stamps and Dies featuring ten adorable hedgehogs and two brand new nesting circle die sets. I started my card by cutting an A2-sized panel from red cardstock and then covered it with the 1-3/4" wide Radiating Circles Die, cut from pink patterned papers from the Joyful Holiday Paper, Flirty Flowers Paper, Gingham Pastels Paper, and Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper packs. I heat-embossed a greeting from the set onto the center circle and then filled the other circles with six of the hedgehogs from the new set, colored in coordinating pink & red tones.

Card No.2: For my second card using the new Quill Cuties Stamps, I created a frozen pond for the hedgehogs to ice skate on. I started by adding the row of the snowy trees to the background using the stamped border from the Winter Scenes Stamps. I then inked a panel with tumbled glass distress ink for the pond and cut the top edge using the Winter Scenes Dies. Next, I cut a snowy hillside using the Slimline Nature Border Dies and added three more hedgehogs dressed for Valentine's Day to the foreground. Lastly, I heat-embossed the punny greeting from the set onto a red speech bubble from the new Speech Bubbles Extras Dies.

Card No.3: Up next, I focused on the cute little hedgehog in the bathtub and all the coordinating accessories like the rubber ducks, shampoo, bar of soap, and bubbles from the Quill Cuties Stamps. To frame my scene, I layered a Stitched Circle Large Die over the largest of the new Zig Zag Circles Dies. To give the feeling of a bathroom, I added yellow striped wallpaper using the Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper pack, wainscotting using the wrist band from the Woolen Mitten Dies, and a yellow checkered tile floor with the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die and Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils. Lastly, I mounted my finished circular scene on a blue quilted heart print panel from the Flirty Flowers Paper pack.

Card No.4: For my next card showcasing the Quill Cuties Stamps, I added them to a living room scene using the armchairs, lamp, and side table from the Cozy Christmas Stamps. I framed my scene using the leftover pieces from a cookie card shared yesterday with the Loopy Rectangle Frame Dies. I love that when you cut these out, you don't have to toss the extra pieces, but can save them to mix and match for future cards. I then customized my greeting by pairing the punny greeting from the Quill Cuties Set with the word "Kisses" spelled out using the Sydney Alphabet Dies cut from red cardstock.

Card No.5: For this fun 6x4-inch birthday card, I used the hedgehog bursting out of the present from the Quill Cuties Stamps for my focal point image. I die-cut three medium-sized Zig Zag Circles Dies from white cardstock. I then lined them all up and layered them over a stitched panel die-cut using the Slimline Pennant Dies, cut from a blue star print from the Surprise Party Paper pack. I centered them on my card and added strips of rainbow polka-dot paper along the top and bottom of my card from the same paper pack. Flanking each side of my main image, I added the cute little plain hedgehog from this set, added a party hat, and used the extra die from the set to cut out his hands to hold a birthday gift. I also added the peeking hedgehog to peek over the edge of my center circle to keep things visually interesting. I completed my card by heat-embossing a punny greeting using words from both the new set and the word "birthday" from the Happy Thoughts Stamps onto a Brilliant Banner 2 Die cut from red cardstock.

That wraps up today's sneak peek. I'm so happy you joined me today!
