Hi there...it has been a few weeks since I blogged, but I have been a busy, busy girl...so I thought I would show you what I have been up to recently. After not stamping for several weeks I needed to make something that would jump-start my creativity. I decided to sit down with my December Paper Pumpkin kit and play.
Let's work backward, shall we! This is the card that I made with some of the leftovers of the cards in the kit.
I used the "negative" pieces of the words and the stars to make this fun birthday card. I just trimmed down the background piece and put it on a Whisper White card base. I mounted the greeting on a piece of Whisper White CS and then added some stars that I salvaged from one of kit cards that I made. Easy peasy!
Speaking of the kit cards...I could not stamp the background words in the kit straight to save my life...seriously! I tried like five times and then finally decided to cover my less-than-perfect stamping with a piece of grid paper from the Flashback DSP collection. But then that meant that the pattern on the frame just didn't look right, so I turned it over and stamped the greeting that coordinates with the die cut. I will not be defeated!!!
I did the same thing with this card, except I used Moonlight DSP for the background.
I will be back soon to show you more of the projects that I have been working on. Now that I am crafting again, I want to create as much as I can before leadership convention next week.
