Sneak Peek at one of three August Monthly card class projects. A sweet birthday card using the bicycle images from the Waterside Retreat patterned paper pack. To get some coordinating twine in Cajun Craze, I used my Cajun Craze Stampin' Blend to colour the regular linen thread using a gentle brushstroke. It dries quite quickly, but to be sure, let it sit a good hour then tie your bow. A quick and simple one!
Sometimes you land on a suite of products that work beautifully together for cards and more. The Splash & Relax bundle was just that bundle. Pulling some seashells from a retired set, this is the happiest summer wall art project for an over the top "more" creation. With a finished size of 12" x 12" I have mine up on a wall in my office to enjoy through the summer months. It was super popular with the Elmira Community Living class where the 12 participants had a great time putting it all together. Enjoy!
On today’s card, I built a little scene from the bottom up as my focal point. Starting with a Golden Glow rectangle, I added another smaller on in Peaceful Pine. Then the stamping layer using the tiny vertical lines stamp multiple times. On this I added die cuts of the leaves, greenery and flowers as well as two stamp butterflies topped off by a double bow of linen thread. It left me a little room at the bottom for a greeting or instead, that would have been a layer of its own. Enjoy!
Sharing my pretty thinking of you card and its stepped up version as featured in the July 10-11 Global Inspiration Stamp Team event for customers. Our goal that day was to share a pretty card and then using most of the same supplies, a fun fold that takes your card making up a notch (or two!). It's fun learning something new, right? For my presentation, the fun fold was the Back Fold card as shown in the second photo. Your thoughts?
Today's card just brings a smile to my face with the stinkin' cute flip flops in bright summer colours. Looking at the card from this vantage, I see the strip down the centre as a beach towel. What do you think? I really love the look of the Lazy Daisy embossing folder to add to the whimsical look of this project. Bring on the sunshine!
