Sweet Cards Using The Paper Tree

Hi there!  In an earlier blogpost I had shared some cards I had made using the Forever Pals collection from The Paper Tree.  Today I'm sharing four more cards I made with this collection using a much different colour palette.

Forever Pals Decorative Papers and Die Cuts

Hi there!  It's been a minute hasn't it?  A few months back I had decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and picked up some decorative papers and die cuts in colours and patterns I don't normal use. This collection is called 'Forever Pals' and it's from The Paper Tree.

Old and New Go Hand In Hand

 

Every now and then a conversation will come up in a facebook group or at a crop event about what people do with thier Stampin' Up! catalogues once they retire.  Some recycle them, some tear out the pages that they have the coordinating stamp sets too and some keep the catologue in it's entirety. I think I would tend to fall more towards the last group.

Stampin' Up! and Gina K

Today I'm showcasing how you can mix and match Stampin' Up! products with other product lines you may have in your stash.  I like to get the most out of my supplies, and when I'm able to mix and match, it's definitely a bonus.

Queen Anne's Lace

Queen Anne's Lace - this is such a sweet and simple stamp set from Stampin' Up! and I think often gets overlooked.  I love how you can make the image soft and gentle like I did in the card below, or bold and beautiful like my bold purple and gold cards above. This set is also so perfect to send out cards to those who may be struggling a bit right now with COVID and all the lockdowns, as it has some really nice sentiments.  

Butterfly Brilliance

Hello and welcome!  Today I'm sharing a few cards I made recently that focus on the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and Butterfly Bijou DSP from Stampin' Up!. I like how the dies are made to line up perfectly with the DSP to cut out some of the butterfly images.

Art Gallery Bundle Campaign

Hi there! If you have been following along on my facebook page you will know today is DAY 5 and the LAST DAY of the my Art Gallery Bundle Campaign.  Here is a look at the 5 cards I've shared this week along with links to the videos for each day.

A Touch of Ink

In my last post I shared a card that showcased two of the products available in the upcoming Sale-A-Bration brochure.  Today I wanted to share another card I made with the Touch of Ink stamp set.

We are big fans of hummingbirds here, so I was naturally drawn to this stamp set.  You can use the shadow stamps in the set like I have here, or you could choose to stamp the images alone and colour them in yourself with your favorite medium. I think the sketch style design of the hummingbird and flowers would make for really pretty water colour images too.

Brighter Days

We have had really beautiful sunshiny days in the last little while, but today was really muggy, and so hot, and just kind of blah.  The rain seemed to come and go on a whim today, and it got me thinking about a batch of cards I made not long ago featuring what else? Umbrellas!

I had wanted to use this really cute Stampin’ Up! stamp set that I’ve always liked but hadn’t given nearly enough attention to, and a pad of paper I picked up from Winners years ago. The stamp set is called Weather Together.
