In the Moment

Hello friends, Spring is starting and it's time for creativity to bloom! There is a ton happening in the world of Stampin' Up! this month. The Waves of the Ocean pre-release and limited time items are here, the All Together Collection is flying off the shelves, and before we know it March 23 will be here with the release of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue Retirement List.
TIP: If you haven't stocked up your stash of 2020-2022 In Color cardstock, ink, refills, and embellishments, I recommend doing that sooner than later - they usually sell out quickly!
I thought I'd add a bit more colour to the season with a lovely slimline card perfect for your favourite colouring tool. I picked Stampin' Blends for mine, but watercoloring or Watercolor Pencils would be great, too. The tutorial features the In The Moment stamp set and a quick ruffle technique using the Heart & Home Doilies.

I'm seeing STARS

I think I was feeling nostalgic for Ruby Red, River Rock, Soft Sky and Bayou Blue when I started this set. I wanted to create something not at all feminine but it didn't turn out as particularily masculine. I only had scraps of River Rock and was lacking in matching ribbon as well so it was a bit more challenging than I anticipated. I planned to use a the inks that matched and a stamp set I really like and have been hanging on to since Spring 2008 {pictured below} but once I got my Big Shot and my Stars #2 Die out all the plans changed. This set was offered with a 5"x5" little album and papers and cardstock stickers in Pumkin and Olive and Bashful Blue which I also still have a few pieces left from now that I think about it. I feel some more inspiration coming on. I enjoyed the kit so much because I made a lovely little album for my elderly cousin Eda with a collection of photos from her yearly family picnics. I put the finishing touches on it in the car on the way there ...
