Earlier this week, I shared some photos of my stall at the Dockside Markets.

It was good to know what sort of cards people were looking for, so that I could discover what cards I would need to make.

First on the list – cards for newborns. I used the WILDLY HAPPY STAMP SET because the images are so super cute.

I decided to use soft, pastel colours for the cards – PETAL PINK, SEASIDE SPRAY and SOFT SEA FOAM.

The ‘Congratulations’ sentiment is from the PEACEFUL MOMENTS STAMP SET.

I had a relaxing time colouring in the images using the STAMPIN’ BLENDS – lots and lots of colouring.

I made a total of 16 cards to pop into my Baby Cards Basket.

I also discovered that I need some more stamp sets to be able to make different baby cards.

It is so easy to coordinate when cardstock and Designer Series Paper come in the same colour families – this time I chose from the SUBTLES and 2019-2020 IN COLOUR FAMILIES.

There are some really lovely new stamp sets in the JANUARY – JUNE 2021 MINI CATALOGUE.

One has totally cute pull toys and another is perfect for grandparents. Some sets also include a baby related greeting.

If you live in Australia and you would like a copy of the new catalogue and Sale-a-bration Brochure, make sure you contact me as soon as possible.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

For this week’s Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop, the theme is 3D STAMPING.

Those of us who are hopping along, post our links to this private group – but you can see everyone elses’ projects by clicking on their links below.

To be totally honest, I had to find out what that was because it wasn’t a familiar technique term. Thanks to Google, I discovered very quickly what the technique is (and I have used it AGES ago). It was nice to have the opportunity for a refresher.

This technique involves creating a 3D look by overstamping a solid, stamped image with a slightly darker ink. Sounds easy – and, it is.

For this project, I decided to use the LOYAL LEAVES STAMP SET. I thought the intricate leaves designs would look amazing with a 3D (shadow) effect.

Here is the end result.

I positioned each of the leaves stamps onto my Stamparatus. The next step was to ink up the stamps with a refreshed/reinked Whisper White Craft Stampin’ Pad. Once the craft ink was dry, I slightly adjusted the position of the cardstock – a little up and to the left.

After cleaning the stamps, I reinked them with Mossy Meadow and stamped again.

You cannot help but admire the detail in these stamped images.

The reason that I didn’t use my F Block was because I made a number of these cards and also repeated this for the front of another project that I will show you soon.

The OLDER AND WISER greeting is a fun way to remind someone that are, in deed, getting older.

And, when someone is being teased about getting older, that person may need to be comforted with chocolate.

In keeping with the card concept, I decorated a 3D slider card in the same way.

The BRAIDED LINEN THREAD and MOSSY MEADOW BRAIDED LINEN THREAD are perfect for this project.

And, by pulling gently on the tab the sweet treat is revealed.

If you are going to give chocolate, always make sure it is a good one.

This project, like many of mine, uses just three colours – CRUMB CAKE, MOSSY MEADOW and WHISPER WHITE – just keeping it simple.

What do you think? Who is ‘older and wiser’ that you would send this to?
