Doesn't this look just like patterned paper? Oh friends, it is not! It's not even multiple single stamps because I cannot see me being able to get this great pattern done that way. I cut - yes I said cut - my Floral Vignette stamp out of its frame piece to make the background stamp two stamps. It goes back together easily for those times when I'll want the full image. This gives so many creative choices with the one stamp. Give that a try with your stamps.
Here’s a bundle that escaped my keen eyes in our Online Exclusives section: Filled with Sweetness. The dies make the car in the shape of a jam jar and it’s a great size at 3 ⅝” x 4 ⅛”. Comes with all the adorable bits for dressing up the jar: top edge mimicking fabric, strawberries and blueberries, a bow, tiny flowers and several labels. Thanks, Jane, for designing this one for our shoebox swap!
Holly’s June Shoebox creation highlights the Eyelet Blooms die. This was definitely worth the $7 add on. Here’s a tip: using an adhesive sheet on the back to help remove the tiny holes in this delicate eyelet pattern. Pairing with Petal Pink, Peaceful Pine and Strawberry Slush for the accents, it turned out beautifully. Thanks, Holly, for sharing this card design with us!
Thrilled to share today’s card designed by Dawn for our June Shoebox Swap. It’s been ages since I’ve flipped open the White Craft ink to stamp with and I’m glad we got to do just that. The Cloud Cover layer has the subtle white craft ink stamping on it with a hint of Old Olive for the leaves. What an amazing colour combo! I can see using this for a sympathy or thinking of you card. So pretty and delicate.
Stunning black and white card with some old and new products: the Nested Essentials dies and Artisan Sketched Garden DSP bursting with images to cut out such as flowers in vases. The Nested Essentials dies have been around quite a while and are a great choice for greetings and adding layers to a project. Received this one in the mailed swap from Karen Duke in B.C. Just love the simplicity and striking look of this card. Enjoy!
