As a mum, I unconditionally love and support my two gorgeous daughters … aged 29 and 25. I trust that I have shared enough life advice as they need as they transition into their independent adult live.
I think everyone treasures what they have been taught by family. I hold especially close to my heart the things my grandmother, Grandma Donnie, taught me … if you go to the city, you dress properly (and that might include wearing stockings); if you are on a bus, younger people stand for those who are older; if you go to the theatre, you never enter after the act begins … and many more … BUT, the lesson I remember dearly is, that, the card you give is more personal than the gift! And, you know, I think she was right.
My grandmother was a classic beauty and a classy lady. The photos I have of her, during her operatic singing career and when she married my paternal grandfather, are breathtaking. She was elegant and sophisticated and I thought of her when I saw this suite … she would have approved … because she was always immaculately groomed and stunningly dressed … she would be IMPRESSED!
The TAGS IN BLOOM STAMP SET, and coordinating punch, is perfect for this Designer Series Paper.
Don’t forget to use the Stampin’ Blends to colour embellishments … and to use Wink of Stella for extra bling.
Stampin’ Blends can be used on the reverse side of vellum to add colour … they can also be used to colour ribbon.
Using the WHISPER WHITE NOTE CARDS AND ENVELOPES pack made making these cards super quick and easy … something I forget to do!
I made these cards, start to finish … without any planning or templates … in 25 minutes. super easy and super quick.
I hope this inspires you to make sure you have the note cards and envelopes on hand for quick and easy card making.
The POSITIVE THOUGHTS STAMP SET wasn’t in my first order … or my second. Don’t get me wrong – I liked it from the beginning, especially the fern image.
When I saw the NATURE’S THOUGHTS DIES in the Coordination Product Release … it made the very next order.
While it is definitely still Summer in Queensland. I looked to an Autumn palette for this card … mossy meadow, cajun craze, pumpkin pie and crushed curry.
I used the Stampin’ Write® Markers to colour directly onto the stamp … lighter colours first. I haven’t used this technique in ages.
I’m really happy with the end result … lots of layers, background stamping off, linen thread and a few rogue sequins.
I think the sentiment lends itself to different situations.
