Over on the Creative Stamping Facebook Page, we have been voting for the St. Patrick's Day 2022 Green of the Year. And the winner is (drum roll)... Shaded Spruce! It was a close-run battle and Shaded Spruce won by only a small margin. So, as promised, here is a fun project I created using Shaded Spruce to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
I love the layout and colours of the beautiful windmill birthday card pictured on page 14 of the January-June 2022 Mini Catalogue. It uses the fun Tulip Fields stamp set and coordinating Windmill Fields Dies to create a pretty Netherlandic scene. I was so inspired that I recreated it but, instead of a standard-sized card, I created a slimline birthday card.
A Criss-Cross Card is a greeting card design that has an angled pocket on the front. It is simple to create, has a bit of wow-factor, and is perfect for gifting a voucher or a small paper crafting present to a friend.
Who remembers the colours of the rainbow by using the ROYGBIV acronym? Rainbow cards with all their seven hues are fun to create with. But why not step outside the box and create a rainbow card with a limited colour palette. You could choose a couple of fun, bright colours or something soft and more muted, like the front of this friendship or birthday card...
I have been having fun playing with some of the fabulous card kits from the Kits Collection by Stampin' Up!. This one is the A Little Smile Card Kit and it includes all the products you need to create eight tropical mini cards that pack into a cute printed sleeve...
Take another look at the off-cuts from die-cutting. Sometimes these shapes are not destined for the rubbish bin but are great for using as stencils! For example, the fabulous dies in the Brilliant Rainbow Dies. These shapes could be used as a mask to sponge ink through or, in this case, as an overlay for gorgeous patterned paper.
Take time today to celebrate as a couple, as a family, or share your love with friends.
Ahakoa he iti kete, he iti nā te aroha
It is the thought that counts.
So, it seems you can create Valentine's Day greeting cards with a string of hearts, an explosion of hearts, and cute otters. But what about robots?!?
