Detail of card by Paula Cannon using Half Full stamp set from Stampin' Up! and markers, washi tape and embossing.

May your glass always be half full

Well. A short break for a few weeks turned into a long break of a few months away. Where does the time go? I just started introducing new Annual Catalog stamps! Now I’m back today with a card using one of my favorite sets from the new Holiday Catalog, Half Full.

Yes, I like wine, so the images appealed to me. But I also like the fact that this set can be used throughout the year. This card is an example.

Maybe because it can fit any season or because it can be used in a vintage or a fresh style. I’ve made several cards using this Fresh Fruit pear image and I thought I’d share one of my favorites.
