Today Creative Team member Ilina Crouse is going to share some fabulous “beyond the kit” ideas for a few of the add-ons. Take it away, Ilina...

Hi everyone, Ilina here today with couple cards using few of the new May MMH add-ons. For my first card I used the new Swing by Soon stamp set. I stamped the girl first using Intense Black ink, then masked it using Post-It notes and stamped the swing. I colored it with Copic markers and cut it out. I set it aside. 

I cut piece of Radiant White card stock to 3 3/4" x 5" and using the new Ombré Reactive Spring Day ink pad I did some ink blending. I sprinkled some water and picked it up with a paper towel. 

I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" panel from Decorative Woodgrain card stock and die cut an oval window using the Nesting Oval Infinity Dies. Using Versamark I stamped the sentiment onto Black Layering Papers (Midnight mix), embossed using white embossing powder and trimmed it. I assembled my card onto a Pool folded note card.

For my second card I used the Family Words Bold Prints background and stamped it with Versamark onto Blush Layering Papers and embossed with ultra fine embossing powder. I trimmed it to 3 3/4" x 5" and set it aside. Next I stamped the heart from Besties Stamp & Cut onto Earth Mix layering paper with Versamark and embossed it with White embossing powder then cut it out.  I stamped the leaves onto Snow Layering Papers using Ombré Soft Brown to Cup o' Joe ink pad and colored with colored pencils. 

I stamped the sentiment onto vellum and embossed with white embossing powder. I assembled my panel, tied some twine around, added Champagne sequins and adhered to a Kraft note card. 

Thank you for stopping by today and hope you are inspired to create something!
