June 11, 12/2018 Double Your Fun

It’s the Month for Fathers so a masculine card was definitely called for.  (Mine is obviously intended for a special birthday guy.) Wood Texture DSP was dry embossed with the Brick Wall folder. We ‘aged’ the card a little by sponging the edges as well as the DSP.
The butterfly (from ‘Beautiful Day’) was stamped on ‘Painted with Love’ DSP and then fussy cut. (Thank you Jenny P. for reminding me that DSP is also paper and can be stamped on!)


                 

June 10/2018 New Catalogue Open House

There was lots of new product to see and to play with – Designer Paper, Stamp sets, In Colour ink and paper, ribbons and embellishments.  And… the new ‘Stamparatus’ was used on the Make N Take card. All five NEW In Colours were available as colour options for the cards. The stamp set used was ‘Peaceful Reflection’. So much can be done with this set. (See p.158 of the Annual Catalogue.)

                           

June 7/2016 A Bookmark in the Library

June 4th was the beginning of Senior’s Week in Alberta.  It was fitting to do a quick Bookmark make & take in the Devon Library. There were two to choose from and everyone found it a hard choice to make!

May 21/2018 Colouring Designer Paper

We used sponges with ink, Stampin’ Write Markers, a brayer and Blends to change the look of this very pretty Petal Passion Designer Series Paper. It was beautiful untouched as black and white DSP but the colouring changed it from beautiful to gorgeous!  And embellishing with clear & black rhinestones, silver edged ribbon, clear Faceted gems and multilayered die cuts took the cards up a notch or two on the WOW spectrum!

                             

May 8 & 9/2018 Double Your Fun!

We had a lot of fun with dies, fancy ribbon, washi tape and pearls and sequins. The ‘Out of the Box’ technique was used on the Birthday Wishes card.  It involved a little fussy cutting but was well worth the extra time it took. The Happy Birthday card is Lemon Lime Twist – the photo sure doesn't look like it!
Not quick & easy cards but easy & elegant!


                          

April 21 & 22/2018 Waterfront All Occasion Cards

We used the ‘Waterfront’ stamp set to create all 4 of these All Occasion Cards. The same images (mountains, water and trees) and ink (Pool Party, Smoky Slate and Tranquil Tide) were used for them all. The layouts for each were altered slightly and with stamping 2 or 3 times without reinking, the mountains looked different each time.
It’s a very versatile set!
(The birds come from the ‘High Tide’ set.)
