SATURDAY APRIL 10, 2021....STAMP WITH SHEL GOES BLOG HOPPING WITH STAMPING INKSPIRATIONS .....FEATURING BIRTHDAYS!

 



Hey, Hey, Hey stampers! 

Welcome to my blog today and thank you for joining me as I go blog hopping with my creative stamping pals over at the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop! 

This month's theme is birthdays.....and I will be honest....I was having a creative block!  Everything I tried was a total fail.  Do you ever have a creative block?  

Well, when that happens to me I either find a sketch to get me started, or grab my catalog and find a sample for inspiration to get my creative juices flowing. 

I went to the annual catalog on page 9, and there is a card sample that gave me inspiration....it is the card with the red arrow: 

And here is a look at the soon to retire FABULOUS Boho Indigo Product Medley.....this kit is HUGE! 

Here is the description of this kit: 

Stamps, paper, dies, and accessories for creating whatever you want—let your creativity run free!

Includes:
  •  11-piece photopolymer stamp set 
  • 48 sheets of 6" x 6"  Designer Series Paper, 
  • Very Vanilla 6" x 6" dry embossed sheets
  • die cuts with gold foil accents
  • Night of Navy 1/2"  Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon, 10 yards 
  • Very Vanilla/gold 1/4" Pleated Ribbon, 10 yards
  •  paper flowers, 20 each in 2 sizes;
  • 12-piece Boho Indigo Dies 
Colors: Garden Green, gold, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Very Vanilla, white


Ok....so here is my card: 




As you can see, a few simple changes like an embossed background and a card base that shows behind DSP, changing up the die-cut elements, and adding alternate embellishments gives this card a totally different look.  

Now it really helped that I had this FABULOUS kit with loads of options and elements to use.  The only stamping I did on this card was the greeting- crazy eh!  

(As I was proofreading this post, I laughed out loud at the "crazy eh" that I typed above.  Nothing like typing a post as if you were speaking aloud!  I was going to remove it, but decided not to....it is me....and I thought you might get a smile or a laugh...so it stays!)

If you wish, I have a video tutorial on this card, and one more made with this FABULOUS that can be found here: 



Remember....this kit is retiring.....if you want it .....order now before they are gone! 

Until next time.....stay safe my friends 


Now hop on over to the next blog for some more creative goodness:

  4. The catalogue is a great source of inspiration, and we all need a little help with our creativity now and again. It's a starting point...and you made it your own beautifully. The colours in this set are so me!
