I have been having a bit of a love affair with vintage style projects over the last 6 months or so and I have shared a few. I think what I like most about this style is that I can use such a lot of easy techniques to achieve the effect I am looking for – and if I get some ink in the wrong place….. it doesn’t matter 🙂
Continue readingI like the mixture of colors today – I realized I had not used Shaded Spruce for a while so paired it with Soft Seafoam (although it is hard to see it in the picture) they went well together but need something more to I went for Magenta Madness, my goodness – does that jump out at you! but it works for me 🙂

We have a few more weeks for the January – June 2021 mini catalog where you can find the Ice Cream Corner Suite. By using the appropriate ink colors I have a mint, strawberry and vanilla ice cream stack!

The Stampin’ UP! catalogs show us all the wonderful products available but did you know it is also a book of ideas? In fact when I first came across Stampin’ UP! in 2006 it was called an ‘Idea Book’ (and I still have that catalog in my stash!)
All that being said – I found today’s card tucked into those pages, I changed it a tiny bit (of course) but it is very close 🙂
Continue readingOh, I just love the color combination on today’s card, Bermuda Bay and Black with just a cheeky little splash of Melon Mambo. The Tropical Chic Stamp Set has a variety of leaves and greetings that work just perfectly with these colors. Continue reading
Time for another technique today ~ Stamping techniques are simply ways to use your stamping supplies with a different approach to create a fun effect.
Stampin’ off gives you lighter shades of your ink color, giving you lots more flexibility to create texture on your cards/scrapbook pages. I have used the Seaside Notions Stamp Set to make today’s card which was for my eldest step-sons birthday last week
