Release Day: Collection 5!!!
Wednesday, October 10, 2012
The day is finally here!!! I get to share with you the awesomeness that is Collection 5 from Clear & Simple Stamps!!! Today I'm sharing one of the newest additions to CSS's shapes collection. It's rounded squares! You can see my project below using all kinds of rounded squares.
Such a cute gift to give someone you love! I paired my card with a small jar of apple jelly. I didn't forget about a coordinating tag.
For my card, I started with a card base of Glamazon Green. I used the new Rounded Squares Trio die to cut 3 rounded squares equally spaced on my card. I attached a piece of On the Catwalk Cream card stock behind the three openings. Rounded Squares Combo is a set of all different sizes of rounded square dies with coordinating dashed line stamps. I used those dashed line stamps on the perimeter of the cream squares using Dare to Be a Diva Red ink. Then I took some Green With Envy card stock and die cut 3 small rounded squares and attached them to the cream squares using foam dots.
CSS has another new set that you'll see later this week that includes these apples and a coordinating apple die. I cut and stamped the apples and attached them to the light green squares.
The sentiment "love you to the core" comes from an older CSS stamp set called "Icon Sentiments". I punched a small hole on both sides of my card and tied some Red/White/Green Twine. 
For the tag on my jar I simply cut an extra of all the dies but adhered them together a little differently and punched a hole to make it a tag.
