Playing with Greens
The Forever Greenery suite is definitely one of my favorite suites in this year’s catalog. I really like the Distinktive style of stamps, and the images work so well together and are so versatile. Plus, with the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper it is so easy to play with greens! And I like the color green, so there’s one more reason to love this suite.
For this card I started with the two greens in the DSP strip I chose: Soft Sea Foam and Just Jade.

They are photopolymer, a bit thicker than regular stamps, and you can place each one on your block so that the handle is on either the left of the right. (more…)

Find Inspiration: Casing the Catalog
Where do you find inspiration for your stamping and crafting? A great resource for ideas and color combinations is any Stampin’ Up! catalog. When I’m feeling creatively challenged, I will often skim through a catalog. I look for design ideas, project ideas, or color combinations.
Today’s card is one I cased from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.
I love the new stamp set Inspiring Iris. Besides the iris images, there is a fun carnation and a sweet rose. I wanted to try the carnations but I kept drawing a blank. (more…)
