JUST LOOK AROUND YOU TO FIND INSPIRATION

I am always amazed at the places and things that can insire the projects I make. Most recently, as I walked into a local IGA store, I saw a cute ceramic planter that I knew would be perfect for my recent Mini Catalogue Launch.

So I used the new Trees For Sale Stamp Set and Tree Lot Dies to make a card sample for the display.

I used a Calypso Coral card base to match one of the banner colours from the planter.

The trees in the background were stamped in Evening Evergreen before adding the Soft Succulent die cut overlays. The Soft Succulent card had Adhesive Sheet attached, making it so easy to secure them.

Then I stamped the paw prints using Soft Suede. I think the prints, trailing off into the forest, are a great feature of this stamp set.

The sign was stamped and die cut before some Stampin’ Dimensionals were placed behind the sign and attached to the front of the card.

For the caravan I used Basic White and Mango Melody cardstock. After building the van, I coloured the door and window frame using the Light Balmy Blue Blends. The Light Gray Granite Blends pen was used for the stand and the Dark Black Blends pen for the tyre.

A scrap of Night of Navy cardstock was cut to appear like a curtain in the window and door openings. The final touch was to cut a banner from Calypso Coral.

I’m looking forward to creating with the caravan more.

This week I will feature some of the other samples I created for the launch display.

Until then, happy stamping.

HELLO SUNSHINE

And, just like that, I am back up and running. Having a break last week was just what I needed.

I am still deciding what the second half of 2022 will look like but I am still thinking about some changes to my weekly schedule.

Today I have a card that I have made for this week’s Global Design Project challenge. This week it is a sketch challenge. Click on the image to go to their page and see the amazing projects the team has created.

I used the Rays of Light and Sunny Splash Stamp Sets for my card.

I used the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the opening in the Pool Party layer. Then I used the Into the Clouds Embossing Folder to add texture to the layer.

I also embossed some Basic White cardstock and used the Cloud Punch .

The So Saffron Rays of Light image was cut into a circle using another of the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The embossed Pool Party layer was added to the Basic White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sunshine circle was positioned inside the larger circular opening before I started placing the clouds across the front of the card.

The greeting, from the Sunny Splash Stamp Set, was stamped and trimmed down to this smaller size.

A length of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon was cut in half and tied into a #tammybow.

I coloured some of the Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels using the Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blends pen.

Tomorrow I will probably share one of the cards I made for my recent catalogue launch.

Until then, happy stamping.

A QUICK UPDATE

This past week I have been trying to restore my craft room to some sort of tidiness. It looked as if a cyclone had ripped through leaving a craftermath.

On Sunday, of last weekend, Robyn Lawton and I cohosted a Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration Launch Event combined with a B.O.G.O. Sale.

I wanted to share some photos of the event. For some reason, I can only upload a few images today. If you pop over to my Facebook page, you can see more –

For the rest of the week I will continue to tidy and do some planning for the rest of the year.

We were set up for 16 lovely ladies.

There were two make and take projects.

There were two project display tables.

There were six product playground experiences for everyone to try.

As you can see, we had quite a bit of setting up to do.

The display samples and new products were a great way let our customers get a better idea about what is available in the new catalogues.

I will have a new project and psot to share with you soon.

Until then, happy stamping.
