The Ton's Summer 2017 Release Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to 
The Ton's Summer 2017 Release Blog Hop!

I hope you're having fun hopping along today.  With 26 stops on this Hop, there are so many fun things to see. 

 The Ton has 24 new stamps and dies for their new Summer 2017 Release which includes up to four free gifts with purchases. For more information on The Ton’s incentive gifts, head over to The Ton’s blog.   All new release products are available now!

I made two cards today so lets get started and keep this hop moving along.  For both of my cards today I used this gorgeous layered scenery stamp:


Mountains

 

Mountains is one of my favorite stamps in this new release. There are so many different color combinations you can use with it to make it look different on every card.  It's super easy to line up and the design itself is just brilliant!!  It adds so much depth to your scene.  You can use it alone on a card  or use it as a backdrop for other stamps and dies like I did today.


For my first card I paired Mountains with:


Beer

 

This pairing kind of reminds me of a beer commercial or magazine add.  A nice, frosty beer with cool snow capped mountains in the background.  I went with blue tones to add to the chill and I really liked how it turned out.  This combination makes a great Father's Day card!

Stamps:  Mountains, Beer (The Ton)
Ink:  Cali Blue, Cobalt Breeze, Deep Sapphire, Light Onyx, Noir, Frosted Vanilla, Lemon Drop, Amber Citrine, Crystal Pewter, Smoky Quartz (The Ton).
Paper:  white cardstock (neenah).
Accessories:  Glass Slippers Mix (The Ton), dimensional tape.



The Beer stamp set also has coordinating dies but I decided to cut an extra frothy top out so that I could pop it up a little with dimensional tape.

I topped this card off with some clear sparkle sequins from The Ton's Glass Slippers Mix.

For my second card I paired the Mountains stamp set with the new:


Eagle

Now, this is one of those cards that I look at and think "Wow!!  I made that??".  It looks like a painting!  The whole card was so easy to pull together.  I stamped the Mountains first and then did some light ink blending for the sky and the water.  So simple!

Stamps:  Mountains, Eagle
Ink:  Soft Garden, Bright Fern, Deep Emerald, Everglade Moss, Warm Hazelnut, Aspen Cocoa, Dark Roast, Cali Blue, Cobalt Breeze, Deep Sapphire, Crystal Pewter, Smoky Quartz, Spiced Chai, Amber Citrine, Hampton White Pigment, Noir (The Ton).  Clear emboss (Versamark).
Paper:  white cardstock (Neenah).
Accessories: dimensional tape




The Eagle does have a coordinating die that I would highly recommend.  For smaller images like this I find it's easier to cut out the die first and then stamp the layers.  It seemed to line up much easier for me that way.  There's no doubt, this Eagle is absolutely gorgeous!

I really love the sentiments in the Eagle stamp set too.  I used three of them on the front of my card and the Happy Birthday on the inside.
