shutterbug special...

Welcome to the first group post of July showcasing new release stamp sets from Papertrey Ink.  Today the design team members are highlighting the new Shutterbug Special stamp set and coordinating dies.  The set is beautiful and interactive.

My first project uses the Shutterbug Special stamps and dies on a layout all about my little goof-ball, who despises the camera and who frowns and grumps whenever I try and take her photo....except for on a rare occasion just last Sunday.  

Knowing me...it won't come as a surprise that my camera is pink....vintage + pink, what could be better.  I embossed my camera image with silver embossing powder to add a little whimsy and then started topping it with fun accents such as the Tiny Tag, metal clip, Harvest Gold felt, and another stamped image from the stamp set.  I used the Heart Prints die to die cut a small heart from Glitter Tape to embellish the center of the camera.

I love the sentiments that are included in this set and the fun, vintage script and font.  You can see here that the coordinating die includes a tab that you can use to insert into the camera and pull out to reveal the sentiment.

I used The Sweet Life dies and Simply Chartreuse felt to add leaves to patterned paper and added another sentiment found in the set.  The Cloud 1& 2 die collection was used with Aqua Mist felt to create another fun embellishment to add to this layout.  

 

Across the bottom I created a handmade banner using the Banner Builder die collection, Aqua Mist and Melon Berry felt, and Melon Berry Gingham paper.  You can sneak a peek at another new stamp set available this month called Signature Greetings II by Dawn McVey.  

My next project uses the Shutterbug Special stamp set on a card.  I stamped the camera image in Melon Berry ink on a die cut using the Mat Stack 4 die.  

The cute sentiment is stamped on a Tiny Tag die in Classic Kraft ink.   

I created a heart garland using the Heart-2-Heart #3 die and covered them in Freckled Fawn washi tape and topped off with a flower cut using Vintage Cream and Melon Berry felt and the Flower Fusion #3 and Buttoned Up #2 dies.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  The other design team members have wonderful projects to share with you.

Your scrapbook layout is gorgeous, love the silver embossing on the camera. And, of course, your card is also pretty nice (big understatement) - love that you cut the stamped camera with a die other than the matching one. You are just too clever!!
