For my first card I used the NEW A La Modes Stamp set, Go for Gold...this ALM girlie sure embodies the spirit of the Olympic Games and I just adore her....SO cute! I'm looking forward to watching the London 2012 Olympics this summer...only 54 more days to go, whoo hoo!

So, I coloured the ALM Go for Gold girl with my Copics and cut her out and pop dotted her on the card front. I paired her with this pretty, Simple Stories, Summer Fresh paper. I have used both the 6x6 pad and a section of a 12X12 sheet, making it look like there's lots of layers but it is the pattern paper...I saw this on Amy's blog and I love how it looks. I used two of the sentiments from this set and stamped them on the pattern paper cut with the NEW Traditional Tag STAX (a must-have from this release) and the ribbon die form the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. I also used the NEW Notched Border Die-namics...I love it too!!!

Here is the inside of my card...I stamped the Go for Gold girl on pattern paper and cut her out and cut another tag with the Traditional Tag STAX and used another one of the great sentiments from this set.

Here is my second card using the NEW A La Modes stamp set, Firecracker. I love this cute ALM girl too...such a cute outfit and cute wedges too. I used the Simple Stories, Summer Fresh 6x6 and 12x12 papers again. I coloured my ALM Firecracker girl with Copics and paper pieced her outfit. I cut the image out with the Traditional Tag STAX and inked in the background with Scattered Straw Distress ink.  I added in another Notched Border, some twine and a BG button. I stamped this fun sentiment on pattern paper cut with the ribbon die from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. 

Here is the inside of my card...I stamped the ALM Firecracker girl with one of the new Memento colours Nautical Blue and I stamped another one of the sentiments from this set.

Well, thanks so much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my cards with the two NEW A La Modes stamp, Go for Gold and Firecracker.
