Cape Cod set for a Cause!

I am so excited to share with you a stamp set this week that has quickly become one of my favorites. First I would like to tell you a little bit about why I am excited to share this exclusive Cape Cod stamp set from Jenn Shurkus. I love the beach towns {as I grew up by one} with all of their charm and many of them are filled with small businesses run by wonderful, kind people who rely on the bustling summer months for patrons to keep their businesses thriving. Unfortunately due to Covid-19, many small businesses have been hit pretty hard and this summer will look a lot different. 

Jenn Shurkus lives on Cape Cod and is raising money for the Cape Cod Resilience Fund. This fund will help small businesses on Cape Cod who are experiencing financial difficulties due to Covid-19. YOU can help by purchasing one of Jenn's exclusive Cape Cod stamp sets. For each set sold between June 15th- July 1st, $10 will be donated to the CCRF. Another way you can help? Share this with your creative friends and help spread the word! More details can be found on Jenn's site here: https://shurk.us/CCRF

I absolutely love this stamp set. Not only is it an awesome set on its own, but it coordinates with so many other sets out there that we already have. Please consider purchasing one of these sets for this awesome cause {or you could get a few to gift your crafty friends}. I know you will enjoy using it as much as I have.  {Scroll down for a bunch of cards!}

ALL of these cards that follow use Jenn Shurkus's Cape Cod set with an appearance from a couple of other sets. 

Can you tell how loved this set is? I wish all of my stamps were this stained.

This first card I made using the sentiment, lobsters, and wood sign from the Cape Cod set. I used the rock wall stencil from Tim Holtz and Hello Blue Bird "Best friends" to make the cave. The whale is from "New England Girl" by Scraps of Love. You will see throughout the week that I cannot get enough of these lobsters! I created the wood background with the Tim Holtz Lumber 3D texture fades embossing folder and then used distress stain (Vintage Photo) and oxides (Vintage Photo and Weathered Wood) to make it look aged. I used Taylored expressions "Here Comes the Sun" Stencil to the ocean (Tumbled glass Oxide) with (Broken China Oxide) for the added Rays of light.

This next card I used the lobsters from the Cape Cod set. I made the wood panel the same way and used Crafter's Companion "Fishing net" Die to cut out the panel. I also added Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Glaze (Weathered Wood) to the wood panel to give it bit of a shiny wet look. My Lobsters are colored in with R24, R27, R29.

Here is a close up. You can see the Embossing glaze, I LOVE it!!

For my final card today, I used the Adirondack chairs, ferry, umbrella, and foot prints from the Cape Cod set. I used my original distress inks for watercoloring in my images. The Chairs were done with a watered down Vintage Photo. The umbrellas: Mustard Seed, Chipped Sapphire, The ferry: Black soot Oxide and Hickory Smoke Oxide. For the Background, I used Lawn Fawn Windy Background die, Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Oxides. I used Antique Linen oxide for the sand and added Gold A Wink Of Stella to make the sand sparkle.

I hope I have inspired you to purchase her set! You will LOVE it!!!
