Friendship Card in Gorgeous Grape

Posted on January 10, 2019 by Ginny

I am continuing to work on my goal to have cards ready to send friends that need a little encouragement or a sweet thinking of you message.

Today I am using a set from the 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up!®Annual Catalog. I didn’t purchase this set for a long time, but I kept seeing so many pretty cards I had to give in and buy it. I’m so glad I did. It is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

The bold Gorgeous Grape ink and cardstock are what make this card pop.

Look at the beautiful flower. It is so pretty. Adding the vellum leaves creates texture without overwhelming the sweet flower.

Thinlits and punches made this card a snap. It was easy to make several in a short amount of time. You could easily change the sentiment on this card and make it birthday or wedding. Love when that happens!

I always enjoy hearing from you! Please leave me your questions or comments about the project for today.

Happy Stamping!

Geared Up Garage for Kylie’s International Blog Hop

Posted on January 8, 2019 by Ginny

Hello Stampers! You are in for a real treat today as I am hopping with a huge group of International Bloggers/Stampers. You are going to be amazed and entertained for at least two days with their amazing projects!

Let’s get hopping….

This project fills a need most of us have: Masculine Cards. My customers are constantly mentioning how hard it is to create cards for men. It is true, Stampin’ Up!® has a lot of flowery and frilly stamp sets, BUT, the New 2019 Occasions Catalog has at least 3 stamp sets appropriate for men. Keep this in mind as you browse the catalog.

Stampin' Up! Geared Up Garage

Geared Up Garage is defiantly a classic stamp set. One you will keep for years.

This bundle also has coordinating Designer Series Paper. Great images of gears, tools, keys and more. Check out page 43 to see all the cool accessories for this bundle.

Have you tried Embossing Paste yet? I used it to create the brick background and really like the way it turned out. So much fun in one small jar! Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure you continue on the Blog Hop. Inspiration is just ahead!

I always enjoy hearing from you! Please leave me your questions or comments about the project for today.

Happy Stamping!

Good Things in Life – Freshly Made Sketches #369

Posted on January 7, 2019 by Ginny

This time of the year makes us think about New Year’s Resolutions and improving our daily habits. One practice I have been working on is Random Acts of Kindness. During the holiday season I created some small candy treats and gave them out to people who waited on me, held the door at a restaurant, smiled at the grocery store…you get the picture. I just wanted to make someone happy. My husband even joined in on the RAKS and he loved it. I am also working on mailing cards on a more consistent basis. Birthday cards have always been easy for me to create and mail but Thinking of You cards seem to get lost in the shuffle. One goal for this year = “ToY” cards will be mailed weekly!

The starting point for this card is a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. Adding the butterflies and Gingham Designer Series paper makes a sweet and cheery card. I just love these butterflies! The coordinating punch is an added bonus. I layered the DSP with black cardstock. Black accents always add a striking pop to a card.
