Thinking Suite

Hello my friends.

I have made a few cards using the "Thinking of You" sentiment. Now these could be used as get well, sympathy, or just that little thought for a good friend. Easy to make and using the wonderful DSP that Stampin' Up always delivers as background art pieces for all. I hope you like them. 

I really like how Crisp Cantalope and Smoky Slate go so well together.  Happy we have one more year with that In Color but looking forward to the new fun stuff as well. 

And number two in the Suite.......

And then there is Smoky Slate and Pistachio Pudding!!!! The Chalk Talk Stamp Set and Framelits add that little bit of flair. And a ribbon of Gumball Green and TaDa. 

Now put on your sunglasses...I got a little carried away here. Daffodil Yellow and Tangerine Tango....wowzer!

Ok now there a few other colors in this card..... Summer Starfruit in the ribbon and the Washi Tape is from the Retro Fresh , almost a Tangerine color. 

And here they all are......

Thanks for stopping in, I would love to see your comments. Have a wonderful day.

Cheers from Shelagh. 

Grid Fun

Happy Easter to all !!!

I hope you all are having a nice time with family this Easter weekend. I had a special delivery from my bestie Sandi so I have been busy putting my special grid together. It is really spring looking so thought I would share with you today. 

Here it is without the shadow box.......

And a closer inside view.....each square was made by a different "artist" mailed out and then layered and matted. Was great fun to see what everyone came up with. Sandi included me in this fun project with others in her downline.Thanks to everyone for playing! 

Was difficult to get a good picture in the shadow box as the glass is not-reflective......but think it turned out pretty good.

Now don't you think this would make a great present for a very special occasion. You could use any type of theme and color family. Ours was to use the subtle colors and Spring/Summer theme. 

Again wishing you and yours a very nice Easter . 

Cheers from Shelagh. 

 

Polka Dot Art

Howdy all ! 

I have one more card to share using the "stamp on DSP " technique. 

This is a very subtle paper but it sure is versatile. I had no fussy cutting this time as I used the Secret Garden Stamp Set and Framelits. And I can say this one took less that 10 minutes to put together ! Now who wouldn't like that. 

I used that wonderful Summer Starfruit color and of course the other In Colors Gumball Green and Primrose Petals. I matted with Smoky Slate to bring out the polka dots in the DSP. I did cut out the leaves and the other flower using the framelits but I kinda like it without them. Just pop up a couple of flowers for some dimension and tada!!! 

So folks that was fun, I really needed a bit of creativity after cleaning out closets etc. So remember, we still get to play and I would love to share some fun with you and your buddies. Take care.

 

Cheers from Shelagh.

More DSP as Art

Hello my friends. 

Have you been having fun with the DSP Watercolor Wonder. It is so much fun to see what the paper can bring out once it is stamped.

Well here is number two, and I used the same paper.

Ok ...so last post I said I went a little crazy......well folks this stamp set ( Peaceful Petals ) does not have a matching framelit. Yes....I mean fussy cutting was done. But I really think it turned out good. The muted stamp in the background blends well with the paper. Now you go see what you can create. Have fun and thanks for stopping in.

And as always, I would love to share ideas with you and your friends. If you would like to host a stamping party just let me know. Here or at your place...have stamps will travel, so they say.

DSP as Art

Hello my friends. I do hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I have been spending some time spring cleaning so thought I would have some fun today and play in my studio. 

Awhile ago my friend Sandi had one of her fabulous ideas.....stamping on Designer Series Paper. So today away I went. Thanks again for all you share!!! 

I used the beautiful Watercolor Wonder paper from the Occasions Mini and it really is a work of art. I stamped the images from the Backyard Basics stamp set...then went a little "crazy".

This paper is just like I painted it....so pretty. And as you will see closer in my next picture  I used the Backyard Basic Framelits Dies to layer over the original stamp.

Now seriously folks , this is not one of your 10 minute cards!!! But I sure had fun with it. I have a couple more to share so check back soon.

And remember this paper is in the Occasions Catalogue on page 23. You can shop right here at my online store 24-7 and in your PJ'S...I would love to be your demonstrator, so give me a call. 

Cheers from Shelagh.
