Springtime Vintage Workshop

The cards were inspired by fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrator Lisa (check out her blog on the left). She very kindly showed us how to make them at one of Abi's team training events. I love going to team training, we have so much fun, while sharing inspiration and chocolate!

While Lisa used Elegant Soiree DSP (love that paper), I decided to use the Springtime Vintage, teamed with Pocket Silhouettes stamp set.

We also made the cute box using the fantastic Top Note die. I got the instructions on how to make the box while blog hopping one night, but now I can't find the blog to give credit where it's due! So if you know who it was, please let me know so I can say a proper thank you to her.

Thanks for looking,

Friend to Friend

I've had this stamp set for ages, but would you believe I hadn't touched it until now? Shame on me for neglecting such a versatile set! lol

The colours used were Crumb Cake, Marina Mist and Cajun Craze, not a combination I'd have chosed if not for my Colour Coach.

I didn't have any Marina Mist ribbon, so I improvised & coloured some Whisper White Taffeta with a marker, patted it with a tissue to take any excess ink off then let it dry. this gave it a more subtle colour, if you want it stronger, don't use the tissue.

Take care,
Kathy. x

Abi's Stampers 10 Workshop

Here are the two cards I made at Abi's Stampers 10 workshop last month. They're so fab I thought you'd like to see them.

The first one was made using the Circle Circus stamp set, love the colour combo.

The second was made using the Pocket Silhouettes set, such a great idea. I've sean some other cards made using this technique on the In Love With Stamping site, check it out if you have the set.

Thanks for looking,
Kathy.
