Hello Crafty Friends! The April release from Pink and Main is here! This month features a theme that’s a mix of books and bows - two of our favorite things! In addition to the usual stamps, dies, foiling products, patterned papers, and more, we are also introducing two fun new products! First, a cute & PINK (of course!) Magic Anti-Static Tool to use when heat embossing. And also a new Foil It Paint & Splatter product, similar to the Paint & Splatters we released last month, but this one enables you to paint on or flick splatter to be foiled with our CheerFoils and Minc machine!
Be sure to head on over to the Pink & Main to check out the entire release and all of the amazing inspirations.
FREEBIE ALERT - get the April Cat stamp set FREE with any $60+ purchase (or the stamp & die with a $80 order!) - through April 24 or while supplies last!
I had so much fun playing with this Release and have 4 cards to share with you today. So let's get started.
Happy Birthday! May this year be a real page-turner! My first card showcases the absolutely adorable new Page Turner set. The Page Turner set includes the sweetest set of book-loving friends.
I stamped the images from the Page Turner Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Page Turner Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

For the layout, I took a piece of patterned paper from the new Sunrise Paper Packs to use as the wallpaper. I added a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock inked with Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink for the carpet and a thin white strip for the baseboard, I matted with a piece of white cardstock.
For the sentiment, I stamped the "Happy Birthday! May this year be a real page turner!" sentiment from the same stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock. I used Large Sentiment Strip Dies to diecut it out. I adhered the sentiment to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.
I adhered the colored images with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").
Nothing Stacks up to You! My second card showcases the sweet April Cat. This month's cat stamp is cute as can be and paired up with a stack of books to fit with this month's theme.
I stamped the image from the April Cat Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating April Cat Dies to diecut sit out. I colored it with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

For the layout, I took a piece of white cardstock and lightly ink blended the center with Party Dress Twinkle Inks. I stamped the "Nothing Stacks up to You" sentiment from the same stamp set directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I used the new Ribbons and Bows Frame Dies to diecut a frame out of red cardstock. I adhered it to the panel and highlighted with a white gel pen.
I adhered the colored image with foam tape. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").
My third card showcases the super cute new Good Story set. This Good Story set includes three fun images of storybook tales literally popping out of books!
I stamped the images from the Good Story Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Good Story Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

For the layout, I used the Scallop Rectangle Dies to diecut a panel out of white cardstock. I matted it with a piece of light blue cardstock.
For the sentiment, I stamped the "May your days begin with curiosity and end with a happily-ever-after"" sentiment from the same stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock. I used Extra Large Sentiment Strip Dies to diecut it out.
I adhered the sentiment and colored images to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").
For my last card, I created a fun card with a removable bookmark (and an extra bookmark) using the new Big Bow Paperclip Dies, Roman-tasy Bookish Rub-ons and Spring Bookish Rub-ons. I thought this design was just perfect for an avid reader.
For the layout, I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies set 2 to diecut a pink panel that was adhered to a piece of white cardstock. I used the Big Bow Paperclip Dies to diecut a huge paper clip out of pink and silver cardstock. The paperclip was assembled, highlighted with a white gel pen and then adhered to the pink panel.
For the bookmarks, I used the Thin Flag Banner Dies to diecut two bookmarks out of white cardstock. I stamped a couple of sentiments from the Good Story Stamp set directly onto the bookmarks with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I selected a couple of fun images from the Roman-tasy Bookish Rub-ons and Spring Bookish Rub-ons to decorate my bookmarks. A hole puncher was used to create the holes for some Asphalt Twine.
I lightly adhered one of the bookmarks to the card. panel with removable adhesive. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").
