Full Steam Ahead - Kitchen Sink Stamps

Good morning to my Kitchen Sink Stamps fans! This morning I am sharing a KSS sponsored masculine card perfect for someone who is starting a new job or headed toward retirement or a slew of other possibilities! It features images from Steam Train & Cable Car, Grand View Mountains, and Cabin by the Lake. 

The clouds in the sky were created using the KSS Cloudy Skies SVG cut stencil. I also cut out the train with the KSS SVG cut file which you can get for free is you put it in the cart when you purchase Steam Train & Cable Car. To purchase it later, it will cost you 99¢. Cheaper than a die and easier to store!

The sentiment was printed using Cricut Design Space.

Today is the final day of the Kitchen Sink Stamps 4th of July Sale. What a perfect time to grab some of those items on your wish list. Be sure to add Promo Code SPARKLE at checkout!

KSS Cable Car meets SCS TLC829

When I saw the newest Technique Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers this morning, I knew it would be perfect for a fun card using Kitchen Sink Stamps' cable car! So today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card is a mini bendi card made with a mix of designer paper, die cuts, and two images from Kitchen Sink Stamps.

The well-written tutorial for the mini bendi was easy to follow and my card came together in no time! And the great thing about it is that when it is finished, it lays flat to go into an A2 envelope! How great is that!!

To create this card, I used the newly released Steam Train & Cable Car as well as a sentiment from Bicycle.

The designer paper background is from BasicGrey. The die cut skyline is by Momenta. I used the KSS Cut File for the cable car. The color recipe for the cable car is attached below. The sentiment is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.
