Meet This Adorable Fox for Springtime Cardmaking {NEW from FSJ}

How adorable is this fox stamp!? He's part of the FSJ February stamp and diecutting release called Ready, Set, Spring! I used a fun watercolor technique on him, and added some bright patterned paper to make this colorful card. Let's take a look and then I'll tell you all about this BRAND NEW springtime release.

To add color to my fox I used Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers. WHAT is a Mermaid Marker? Let me tell you about these fun coloring tools. It's basically watercolor in a brush. It's really intense color that you can brush straight onto a project, or dilute with water. A tiny bit goes a LONG way.

Here's a peek at what they look like. (photo credit: Spellbinders)

 To create this look:

  • Brush color directly onto the rubber stamp. I used yellow and orange shades for the fox's body, plus red and green on the tail. Then I added dark brown to the eyes and nose. 
  • Next, mist rubber stamp with a little water. (It doesn't take much, but you may want to play with this and try different amounts of color and water)
  • Stamp image onto white cardstock and diecut.
So, let's talk about this new release for a minute. 
Here's the deal. The Ready, Set, Spring! release goes live on February 10th. But today, we've released a project kit so that you can snag the goodies EARLY.

It's a pretty amazing deal - it includes a selection of coming-soon stamps and dies, along with a project kit to create four unique cards. We’ve done the hard work, all you have to do is stamp, color and assemble!  Plus you can access an online video tutorial filled with tips and techniques to ensure your cards turn out perfectly. Click here to head straight to the Ready, Set, Spring! kit. 

Once the collection goes live on February 10, you'll be able to purchase each of the stamp and die sets individually - but you get a great discount when you get them in the kit!

Want a sneak peek at the four cards you'll create with the stamps, dies, kit pieces and instructions. These four Easter cards are SO sweet!
Then, the full collection (plus the ability to purchase all the stamp sets and die sets individually) will release on February 10th. (You can find a sneak peek of each of the new products releasing in the Coming Soon section of the Spellbinders website.)
