This is such an amazing release. I had so much fun playing with this Release and have created several cards to share with you today. So let's get started. 

For my first card, I have a galaxy themed birthday card to share with you showcasing the adorable new Out of this World set that is beautifully illustrated by Alberto Gava @loshakeratoalberto and features the cutest astronauts! 

I stamped the images from the Out of this World Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen. I fussy cut all of the images out.

COPIC COLORS:

Skin: E000/00/21/11/93

Hair: E50/51/53/35

Suit/Helmet: C00/1, C1, B00/02/04, R05/24/29

Alien: YG00/01/03

Earth: B000/00/02, YG01/03

Stars: Y11/13/08/19

Other planets: C0/1, YR000/00/02/04, C0/1/3/5

For the background, I ink blended Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I added some dots to represent stars with a white gel pen.

For the sentiment, I stamped the Hope Your Birthday is Over the Moon sentiment from the set with Versamark Watermark ink onto the panel and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. 

I trimmed the panel down to 4" x 5.25" and adhered it to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"). All of the smaller images were adhered with liquid adhesive. I added some foam tape to the back of the boy and alien for a bit of dimension and interest.

For my second card, I have a fun Back-to-School themed card to share with you showcasing the new Schoolhouse Stencil, Big Bus Die and Sentiment Strips: Reverse Back to School. 

To create the background, I used the Schoolhouse Stencil, Tumbled Glass, Pumice Stone and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide inks as well as Candied Apple Distress ink to create the school building on a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I added some highlights with a white gel pen. Once the panel was dry, I trimmed it down to 4.75" x 6.75" and adhered it to a piece of black cardstock (5" x 7").

Next, I used the super fun and huge Big Bus Die to diecut all of the parts out of white, yellow and red cardstock. I colored the white cardstock and added additional color to the yellow cardstock. I added some highlights with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:

Yellow: Y11/13/15

Orange: YR04/07

Windows: B0000/000/00

Silver: C0/1/3

Black: T9

I assembled all of the parts of the bus with liquid adhesive and adhered a piece of craft foam to the back of the bus before attaching it to the panel. 

For the sentiment, I trimmed one of the sentiments out of the Sentiment Strips: Reverse Back to School and adhered it to the bus with foam tape. 

Finally, I adhered the panel to a white A7 card base (5" x 7"). 

For my third card, I have a floral thank you card showcasing the fun new Groovy Flowers and beautiful Showboat Thank You Die. 

I used the Groovy Flowers Die to diecut several flowers and centers out of white and pink cardstock. I adhered the center to each flower. 

Next, I used the Showboat Thank You Die to diecut the word out of white cardstock and the shadow out of vellum. I adhered the word to the shadow with liquid adhesive.

I adhered the sentiment and flowers to a slightly lighter pink piece of cardstock with foam tape dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").

Since I am forever in need of Thank You cards, decided to create a second one while I had all of the parts out. I diecut 5 of the smallest flowers and some centers of the Groovy Flowers Die out of white and yellow cardstock. I assembled them in the same manner.

For the sentiment, I diecut the Showboat Thank You Die three times out of yellow cardstock. I layered and adhered the words. 

To add a bit of interest, I adhered a strip of pink cardstock to the left side the front of my white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"). I adhered the Thank You diecut directly onto the white right side. The flowers were arranged onto the pink strip with foam tape. I finished the card with some Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.
