You Are Amazing!

Tuesday, July 5, 2016

This stamp set can easily become one of your favorites .... it quickly worked it's way into my heart! It's the new Painter's Palette stamp set. In fact, the set was actually one of Stampin' Up!'s free treats to those of us who attended OnStage in Salt Lake City. Yes, please!

Colors in this CAS (clean + simple) creation are from today's color challenge, CC590: Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Pacific Point, + Soft Sky.

Any guesses on the curvy side notches?

I love asking 'think about it' questions in classes. Sometimes the answers are so fun + clever!

Sentiment is from the Crazy About You stamp set, and is die cut with the fabby label die + banner tab from the Large Numbers Framelits.

Hope you found a little "aha" inspiration here today, friends!

I'm headed to some super stampy fun + hugs later this week farther down in Texas, so card stamping may go on hold while some items get done before the driving begins. LOL I shouldn't talk about it ... gets me all eager + smiley with anticipation!!

Inky (((hugs))),

Missing You!

Sunday, July 3, 2016

So tickled to report that yesterday welcomed the first class into the newly refreshed studio! As usual, my 1st Saturday classes feature clean 'n simple (CAS) styles the even brand new stampers can enjoy and create successfully.

Of 3 projects, I've only photographed 1 *gasp* ....

company coming over,
picking up a Grand for sleep-over times +
July 4th activities ...
Summer fun at it's best
I'm sure y'all know what I mean! ;)

As you'll discover, one of my fave new stamp sets from the 2016-2017 Catalog is the divinely fun "Swirly Bird" set. Here's a simple card that doesn't even require the coordinating die set:

Neutrals are so easy to use for card stash creations! Change the color on the primary image to suit your mood or the recipient. Fussy cut the not-quite-a-circle blossom image, use the coordinating die set for the leaves ... or just cut them ... you pick!
