So many card ideas and so little time. "Taking time to enjoy creative pursuits is one of the best investments in yourself you can make to nourish your mind, body and spirit and helps make the less creative parts of your daily life more zestful - and maybe you will find a way to turn sorting the laundry into a creative activity!" from Nicky Tillyer, the www.Artfulgenius.com.
Stamping is my meditation, when I am creating my mind becomes so focused it becomes totally clear of clutter and worries. Not only does it benefit me, but when I send my hand stamped card someone has a moment of joy and excitement just knowing someone "cared to send the very best"!
This card I created last week using two of our new exclusive Classic Ink Colors, Crisp Cantaloupe and Smokey Slate. Most of my customers comment on how much they love the coordination of all our products. An example of that is the Cardstock, Ink & Designer Patterned Paper featured on this card. The patterned paper comes from the 2013-2015 In Color Designer Paper Stack. It is a two sided 12" x 12" paper, the other side of this paper has a chevron pattern in the Whisper White and Crisp Cantaloupe color.I The Stack comes with 40 sheets per package, 4 each of 2 double-sided designs in the 5 new In Colors (Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding).
The coordinating tag is from another product we sell called Tag a Bag which is a fun gift kit full tags to create a variety of tags for gift bags, gift boxes or like I have shown here to embellish a card. The sentiment comes from Really Good Greetings – the name says it all! You can find the details on how to make and color the Creped Filter Paper Flowers on two of my past videos.
Hope you find time to be creative this week. Would love to hear what you have created!
Lovely card, Patsy! I really enjoyed your last video on the creped filter paper flowers. You are such an inspiration! Now I will be ordering that paper so I can make some of those gorgeous flowers.
