Welcome to The Ton’s August 2021 Release and blog hop!! There are six brand new stamp sets with coordinating dies plus one new pop up die collection in this fabulous release!! Be sure to hop along for more inspiration and visit The Ton’s Blog to see the entire release!! Shipping for the new release will begin on August 13.

My first project features the Multi Monsteras Grouped Layering Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies…

I began by stamping the Multi Monsteras onto white cardstock with Meadow, Matcha and Everglade Moss Inks, then cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. For the background, I stamped the Many Monsteras Cling Background Stamp onto white cardstock with Meadow Ink. I die-cut that panel with the second largest die in the Rectangle A2 Nested Die Set and a green panel with the largest die in that set.

The sentiment, also from Multi Monsteras, was stamped onto white cardstock with Everglade Moss Ink. It was trimmed into a wide strip and matted with light and dark green cardstock. I arranged and adhered the monstera leaves to the background panel and added the sentiment strip over them with foam tape.

My second card features the innovative new Majestic Monarchs Stamp Set and Coordinating Pop Up Dies. We’ll begin with the front of the card, but the real treat is inside!!

Since I had colored the monarchs for the inside of my card first, I chose inks that matched those colors. I blended Coral Cavern, Coralline, Amber Citrine and Lemon Drop inks onto a panel of Bristol cardstock. Once it was dry, I die-cut the Butterfly Swirl Die from the panel.

I adhered it to a panel of black glitter cardstock, then a white top-folding card base. The sentiment is from Majestic Monarchs. It was stamped with Noir Ink.

Here is the surprise on the inside…

I stamped the Majestic Monarch Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Caviar Ink, colored them with Copics and cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. Effie has a detailed video that explains exactly how to assemble this…it goes together really easily!! I followed her instructions and adhered all of the butterflies as shown.

Such a fun surprise for the inside of a card, don’t you think?!?
