Life in Pictures

The April stamp of the month is called Life in Pictures.  I LOVE this set mostly because I love old cameras and vintage things.  This set is available through April 30, 2016.  The set costs $17.95 normally, but if you spend $50 you can get the set for only $5!!  Definitely worth it for this set.

Stamp of the month

A fellow consultant Sandy Zimmer posted a beautiful layout that she was inspired to make.  Well I loved hers so much I wanted to make my own to showcase this stamp set.  I used almost every stamp in the set making the layout too!  

Here's one from corporate's design team:

The supplies used to create my layout are listed below.

 

 

Happy crafting!

Wedding card

I've only made a couple wedding cards, including this one.  I do know that I love the white on white style cards!  To make this I used the quatrefoil embossing folder on a 5"x5" piece of white daisy cardstock.  I tied the ribbon around the piece and used some liquid glass under the knot to keep it in place and under a couple small spots that would be covered by the layered piece.  Then the 3"x3" piece was embossed with a flower embossing folder I have and layered on the 3 1/4"x3 1/4" piece.  I used the shower flower occasions stamp set for the sentiment, and finished with some clear gems.  I've been trying to make sure that I stamp the inside of cards to really finish them off.  For the inside I used the August stamp of the month, using smokey plum (retiring Aug 31st) and slate inks.

Brushed WOTG layout 2

This was the second layout that I came up with to go with the Brushed WOTG.  The stamp set used was last months stamp of the month.  I still have tons of paper left to create a couple more layouts from the workshop.  I haven't really gotten around to it since we went camping and then had a wedding to attend.

If I were to recreate this I think I would have added a couple of white squares to the left page to seem more balanced since I didn't have anymore of that color.

Blossom Birthday Card

I created a Birthday card last week for a friend.  I haven't created a lot of cards but I wanted to see what I could come up with using the new Blossom paper and the Stamp of the Month for April, Typed Note.  My lighting isn't the greatest here, but here it is.  I over think stuff all the time and told myself during nap time that I would go and just see what I could come up with.  I didn't let myself get hung up.  I just kept saying keep going and let the creativity flow, then if I don't like it I can always start over.  This isn't a difficult card so it didn't take me very long.

I wanted to use colors that all coordinated so I used the colors from the Blossom paper.  I used Sunset, Pear, and Juniper inks.  The diagonal striped paper is a zip strip, then I added a scrap with a dove tail end, and finally a piece of teal shimmer trim.  

The Stamp of the Month is just $5 with a $50 purchase and if you are purchasing a grab bag that counts towards that amount!

Here's are all the stamps included in the Typed Note stamp set:
