How are you this fine morning? I find myself still looking out the window to see if snowed when I get up in the morning. It hasn't in a few days now so that's good news! This time of year, we are kinda over it, so to speak.
One thing I'm never over is rubber stamping! I love all the creative options in front of me and one of my favorite things to do is grab a stamp set and see what I can do with it. I recently picked up the Cake Soiree bundle from the 2018 Occasions catalog ( page 12-13) and played for an afternoon:
What do you think of the Designer Series Paper? Gorgeous, isn't it! It's full of rich and soft spring colors with some Rich Razzleberry thrown in for contrast. Because it's a "speciality" DSP, it has extra pizazz which in this case is silver foil accents throughout one side of every piece of paper. It comes with a two case stamp set with lots of stamp options and coordinating framelits to help you cut out your pieces easily. There are also some extra framelits to add some embellishments to a project. I loved adding some extra silver foil paper in the top card to emphasize the silver foil bling.
While Sale-A-Bration ends on Saturday, the Occasions Catalog keeps right on going through May 31st! You have plenty of time to get some products and get going on your creative journey! I recently sat down with an old, dear friend, who had never tried stamping. We spent a couple of hours on the basics and she took the leap and got some supplies. We didn't get too complicated but kept it to ink, some paper, a few stamp sets, some adhesives and some blocks to mount the stamps on. I'm so excited for her to jump in. She doesn't live in Montana and so much of our interaction will be by text, email or phone but I assured her I can coach her long distance and get her going. Are your curious about this whole hobby? Contact me and we can chat. You don't have to spend a fortune to try it out and with the many avenues of technology, including Facetime, you won't be alone as you start out! I love what I do and I love to share it with others. I can help you with a project idea or work with a budget.... your call!
Blessings to you as we move closer to Easter this Holy Week!
