Work of Art 6-14-14

Work of Art Work of Art Inside 6-14-14This stamp set, Work of Art, has been very popular for a very good reason.  It has stamps that can stand alone like the chevron, heart, and dot.  It has 4 great swooshes that can be used with the other stamps like I did in this card, but those swooshes can also add color behind other images.  It also has greetings that can be combined to make phrases and the sentence we used inside the card.  I think the arsty look contrasts nicely with the bold graphics of the Back to Black Designer Series Paper.  The soft colors from the Subtles Collection also contrast nicely with the black and white.  Try this set to make your own work of art.

I found getting the stamps back in the case to be a difficult puzzle.  If you have trouble as well, follow this link to see how I did it.  There is a photo you can slip into the case to make it easy.

Well, the good news is that I learned how to edit videos.

The bad news is that I do not do it well yet.

The good news is it’s shorter than it was.

The bad news is that it was way too long to start with.

Lattice Window Card 5-13-14

Lattice Window 5-10-14I love this card!  It was so simple and so elegant. It opens to reveal a repeat of the design and the greeting.

 

Unfortunately it uses a lot of retiring products.  The lattice die and the En Francais stamp will be hard to find now.  I think you could achieve a similar look by substituting leaves or maybe even one of the new Thinlits in the 14-15 annual catalog.  Or perhaps even totally recreating the intertwined circles with the Circles Collection Framelits.

Sour Cream Treat Container 5-10-14

Sour Cream Treat Container 5-10-14What?  Sour Cream?  What is that about?

 

Perhaps you remember when some company packaged sour cream like this to be served with a baked potato.

 

Turns out this is a quick and cute way to package any little treat.  They are especially quick and easy with the Designer Series Paper Stacks with 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ paper.  Make a quick tag with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and you’re practically done!  This little lady bug came from Bug Me which I believe is sold out.  Too bad.  But you could use the same idea with so many different stamps.
