KSS - A Heartfelt Thanks

In the last week I have received and installed a new computer and a new Cricut Joy so this has been a week spent on a huge learning curve for me! New operating system, new photo programs, new email server, and the Cricut Design Space. I have a long way to go to master all of these devices, but I think I may just have learned enough to be dangerous and at least be able to post something presentable! LOL!

 Today I have used the Kitchen Sink Stamps SVG files for the two sets of images used to create this Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card: Giant Coral & Seahorse as well as Watercolor Thanks! One thing I know for sure: my fussy cutting days are over for the most part! With my Misti and a stamping mat cut in black with my Cricut Joy, alignment of these images got easier than ever!! After cutting the black mat, I cut a pile of white thanks ready for stamping!




I embossed the back panel after rubbing the embossing folder with SU Bliss Blue. My apologies up front: I mixed colors from several sources today to get these images like I wanted them!

Color Recipe for the Seahorses

Layer 1 PTI Spring Rain
Layer 2 Memento Summer Sky
Layer 3 SU Seaside Spray
Layer 4 SU Bliss Blue
Layer 5 SU Marina Mist
Layer 6 SU Blueberry Bushel

    Beautiful card Lynn, Congrats on your new goodies. I have yet to buy an electronic cutter and haven't heard of the Joy before. I'll have to watch a few videos to see what all it can do. I've watched a few on the scan n cut in the past but was hoping for a new version soon. I do love my old school dies but love I what the new cutters can do.
