Kitchen Sink January Release IS TODAY!!

Happy Kitchen Sink Monday..Oh wait...it is Tuesday! LOL!! Either way, it is a special day, cause it is also time for Kitchen Sink's January Release!! There are four new sets being released today. along with a re-release of an old favorite!!

Multi Step Cup of Warm Comfort

Multi Step Winter Cardnials

Friends of the Moon

Simple Sentiments

AND the long awaited return of the Multi Step Daisies Set!!

I have three new cards to show you today showcasing all the new sets, and one card I pulled from my card "vault" showcasing the returning Daisy set!

First, I have a card using the new Multi step Cup of Warm Comfort set. I KNOW...don't you just LOVE it!! MMMM...looking at this latte image just makes me crave one!! I stamped the latte and the star cookies with creamy caramel, close to cocoa and chocolate chip. I then masked the latte and added the peppermint stick which was stamped with pretty in pink, ruby red and real red.

To finish off the card, I cut the image panel out with a labels 8 Nestabilities, used a Martha Stewart punch on the red layer, and the divine swirls cuttlebug EF to emboss the base cocoa layer. The sentiment used the Fancy Labels Spellbinders Die sponged with a bit of red ink which is on some red satin ribbon.

For my second card, I used the new Multi Step Winter Bird set. Isn't this cardinal just beautiful!! I stamped the bird with rose red, ruby red, real red and basic black. The pine was stamped with mellow moss, old olive, always artichoke and chocolate chip. For this card, I used this last week's Mercy's Tuesday sketch (MTSC55), The DP is from basic Grey, and to finish off the card, I used some black gems, fancy red fibers, and a Martha Stewart punch.

For my next card, I used the Friends of the Moon set...this set is just the perfect compliment to the Autumn Moon set! Also, for a mini, you sure get a lot of different images to created not only different holiday cards (4th of July, Halloween, Christmas), but also birthday cards for the men in your life...from the little ones to the big ones. Today, I chose to make a birthday card for my Father.

I stamped the moon with Going Gray (stamped off twice, stamped off once, and then stamped directly over the two layers). I then covered the moon with versamark and clear embossed. The geese are stamped with craft black and then also heat embossed with clear EP. I then created the background by sponging and masking with bordering blue, night of navy and basic black. To finish it off, I added a bit of black ribbon, and the sentiment.

Okay, one final card for you today...I went ahead a pulled this card using the Multi step Daisies set...I don't think I ever blogged this card, so I thought it would be perfect to show you all today for the re-release of this set!

It is a pretty clean and simple card...I stamped the flower with Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette and Regal Rose. The leaves are stamped with mellow moss, old olive and always artichoke. I then sponged the edges of the base just a bit. To finish it off, I added some crimped pink ribbon, and the sentiment with some torn edges layered with pink inked vellum.

Please head on over to see what the other crew members have created for you!!
