New Product Tour: August

Welcome to My Favorite Things' New Product Tour.  All of the new stamp sets and Die-namics are available here, in the Brand Spankin' New section.  Visit Kim's blog to see each of the designer's samples for tonight.  I have an extra long post tonight, so be sure to scroll all the way through.  ;)

Pure Innocence Loads of Love is a darling new girl toting the bottomless laundry basket we all face on a regular basis.  I stamped her on watercolor paper and colored her with Twinkling H2Os.  


The oval and border were cut with the Oval STAX Die-namics (all links below).  


I also used a lovely blue button, some burlap ribbon, and a little twine to tie it off:


I stamped the sentiment (how cute is this sentiment, by the way?) on a piece of yellow cardstock cut with the Framed Greetings Die-namics.


 **************************************************

Next up in another little watercolor number.  What can I say, I'm really loving this lately.  This one was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on watercolor paper and also colored with Twinkling H2Os.  The image is from our new Inspired By the Front Porch: Fall set.


I paired it with the Clearly Sentimental: About Grandparents set.  I thought the sweet image paired nicely with the "grandma" font. Besides, I thought my own grandma would appreciate this.  The sentiment was stamped using Fresh Ink (Chocolate) on a piece of Whip Cream cardstock cut with the Mini Tab Foursome Die-namics.  


I used just a bit of patterned paper in the background and layered it with a piece of gray felt cut with a Fishtail Flag STAX Die-namics.  Here's a coordinating button and some lovely twine, too:


I used the Square STAX Die-namics to cut Natural cardstock (my latest favorite cardstock color; it's lighter than kraft and has some flecks in it) and stamped it with Fresh Ink (Cocoa) using the text background from the Own Your Story stamp set.  All links below.  


 **************************************************

And lastly, I have a CAS (clean and simple) that I just love.  I love the soft pinks, the dramatic flower, they gray/ivory/pink combo, and the chevron washi.


I used the Mini Tab Foursome Die-namics with a little sentiment from the Inspired By Front Porch-Fall set.  I really wanted this gorgeous Layered Rose Die-namics to stand out.  I used one of those thick coasters to cut the flower and inked the edges with Fresh Ink.  The leaves are from the Upsy Daisy Die-namics set and I used them with some grey felt.


Phew.  I hope you stuck with me for that long!  I've the links for you below.  Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little time over here.  :)
