Thinking of You card using your Scraps!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I love to use the Designer Series Papers (DSP) on my cards – they give me color combination ideas and sometimes are the focus of my card. However – there always seems to be little scraps left over – far too beautiful to throw in the bin, so why not make them part of a card?

And that is exactly what I have done today, I had some scraps of the Ornate Garden DSP left over from the all- day crafting retreat I had in October, so out came the Rectangular Stamp Punch and a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Don’t forget that Stampin’ UP’s Year End Clearance starts today – click the pink purse to the right to check out the deals available!!

Family Love Garden Lane Sampler

Welcome back to my corner of the world

I love practically any type of papercrafting but I think my most ‘favoritest’  are samplers or  frameart, you can put lots of different items and techniques onto them without them appearing ‘over the top’

The sampler I am sharing today is one of the projects from my annual Stampin Getaway last October and features the serene Garden Lane DSP along with a whole host of punches,dies, ribbons and embellishments.

Crumb Cake and Good Morning Magnolia

welcome back to my corner of the world.

Today’s card is a very simple design – using the beautiful Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set.  I try to use just one stamp set on a card and I particularly liked that this set has 3 great greetings that will fit into the punch I wanted to use as well as smaller flowers and leaves for decorating my envelope and the inside of the card.

I chose to use the ‘thinking of you’ sentiment, perfect for almost any occasion, the ‘hello’ sentiment would be perfect for a birthday and the ‘thank you’……. just speaks for itself 🙂

Garden Lane DSP Scrap Card

I was tidying my work bench – it happens from time to time, especially if I find myself looking for something that is really right under my nose if I just had not put ‘something else’ on top of it!  I have often said that if I had just half of the time back that I spend looking for something that is right in front of me,  I would get so much more done in a day……. can anyone else relate?

Anyway – as I say – I was tidying my workbench and found some scraps from the Garden Lane DSP from a project I had finished a couple of days before.  I could not bring myself to throw them away, so pulled out some Whisper White Card along with a Garden Green Card base.  I did not trim the DSP in any way, they are exactly the size and shape l picked up!  🙂

I shall be introducing my DSP share in the coming weeks – so watch this space!

Introducing …………. Pretty Peacock with Mint Macaron

Pretty Peacock is the third of the 5 new Stampin’ UP!  in-colors for this year, I have done a little experiencing with some of the other colors in the SU family and have paired it with some Mint Macaron and the scrummy Copper Foil, which in all honesty was the starting point for my card today.  I had a piece left from another project, the surface was a little scuffed so I ran it thru the BIG SHOT with the Country Floral Embossing Folder and I fell in love!
