Today I'm showcasing a few cards I made using some of The Ton's new stamps.  I'm including links to everything so if you want to shop while you hop just click on a link any time.

My first two cards feature a favorite of mine.

Cardinal Friends

plus
Coordinating Dies


I love birds and this 4x6" stamp set is a perfect fit for my collection of feathered friends.  I used the small cardinal here to make the perfect couple.  There is a  Cardinal Friends Coordinating Die set  available and I highly recommend it.  They just make things so much easier if you're like me and don't enjoy fussy cutting.

Stamps:  Cardinal Friends, Minor Stripes Background (The Ton).   Ink:  Caviar, Valentine Red, Blue Diamond (The Ton), Copic Markers.    Paper:  110 lb white cardstock (Neenah).   Accessories:  Glass Slippers Mix (The Ton), natural twine, dimensional tape

My next card features the large cardinal in the set.  This bird can fill up a card all on it's own.  Here it works well with a sentiment from the new Coming up Poinsettias stamp set.

 

Stamps:  Cardinal Friends, Coming up Poinsettias (The Ton).   Ink:  Caviar, Hampton White, Blue Diamond (The Ton), Copic markers.  Paper:  110 lb white cardstock (Neenah), black cardstock.   Accessories:  Double Stitched Rectangles Lg dies, Geometric Circles Coverplate die (The Ton), Diamond Stickles, dimensional tape.

 Speaking of

Coming up Poinsettias

 Coordinating Dies

For my next card I stamped the new 4x6"  Coming up Poinsettias stamp using The Ton's Rose Gold embossing powder.   I watercolored and cut them out with scissors but look for that coordinating die!!  The sentiment is from the new  

Blizzard Hugs stamp set.  

Stamps: Coming up Poinsettias, Blizzard Hugs, Outline Holiday Cones (The Ton).  Ink:  Everglade Moss, Noir (The Ton), clear emboss (Versamark), Colorbursts (Ken Oliver).  Paper: 140 lb watercolor (Canson), 110 white cardstock (Neenah).  Accessories: Double Stitched Rectangles Lg dies, Rose Gold Embossing powder (The Ton), clear embossing powder (WOW!).

I can't say enough great things about the new 6x8" stamp set

Blizzard Hugs

Coordinating Dies


Holy cow!  This stamp set is huge! It has great sentiments in it too.  The one I chose for this card is my all time favorite!  I can guarantee all of my southern friends are going to be receiving some Blizzard Hugs from me this year.

Stamps: Blizzard Hugs (The Ton).  Ink: Noir (The Ton), clear emboss (Versamark), Colorbursts (Ken Oliver).  Paper: 140 lb watercolor (Canson), 110 lb white cardstock (Neenah).  Accessories: Double Stitched Rectangle Dies Lg (The Ton), white embossing powder (Ranger), Shimmer Spray.

By now you're probably thinking The Ton's new 2018 Fall Release is all about winter products.  Well you would be soooooooooo wrong!   There are some fabulous new florals in this release because well....it's The Ton!  We all know by now that Effie loves flowers and it's just not a Ton release without them.  Here is my favorite of the whole bunch....

Gardenia Wishes

plus
Coordinating Dies

I believe gardenias are traditionally white but most card makers know there are no rules when it comes to coloring florals!  I decided to paint mine yellow.   First I embossed these with white embossing powder on watercolor cardstock.  This 6x6" stamp set allows for a sizeable bouquet of gardenias.  This stamp is huge ladies!!

Stamps: Gardenia Wishes (The Ton).   Ink: Hampton White, Noir (The Ton), Kuretake Real Brush Watercolor Markers (Zig).   Paper: 140 lb watercolor (Canson), 110 lb white cardstock (Neenah).   Accessories: Double Stitched Rectangle dies Lg, Glass Slippers Mix (The Ton), bakers twine, white embossing powder (Ranger).


Well that's all for me today.  I'll cut you loose and let you get onto your hopping.
