Throwback Thursday
Throwback Thursday! I wanted to take a moment and share a card I created using my very first Stampin' Up! Stamp set "Summer by the Sea”. This image stole my ❤️ and played a big role in my decision to become a demonstrator. It holds a special place in my collection! What was the first stamp set you bought? Happy Craftin’Sue
2 cards same design
Today I’m sharing two cards using the same design but “jazzed” up differently.This first one has a length of Lost Lagoon Ribbon with a cheats knot in it (this is where you tie a length of ribbon around your finger, knot it then slip it off and cut it to make the tales, or if you can’t do that try a friends or failing that a pencil) The floral images is again stamped using Stampin’ Write Markers and the sentiment is from the Pansy Patch Stamp set.This second one has the flowers...
Utilising 6×6 Designer Series Paper
This first card I’m sharing with you uses a whole sheet of 6x6 Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper - nothing wasted.

Meadow Dies meets Inked Botanicals
Today’s two cards still focus on the Inked Botanicals Designer Series paper but show case others stamp sets and dies.For this card I matted a piece of embossed card stock onto a piece of Pool Party Cardstock. I used one of the 3 folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folder collection which is an online exclusive item. Using the Meadow Dies, I cut a stem of leaves and elongated the label die to fit the sentiment from Go To Greetings. And finished it off with a retired gold gem.For this...
