Now that Valentine's Day is over, we can look forward to spring coming on the horizon and the Easter season! I'll have much more to post about Easter in the future, but I wanted to share what I've been doing with the "Fable Friends" stamp set in the 2019 Occasions Catalog. It is so adorable. It will remind you of the illustrations in your favorite childhood story books and you will be inspired in so many different directions! There is something timeless about these drawn images and I couldn't way to play with them! Here's some ideas for you!
I decided I had to make a card featuring the mama duck and baby ducks. Next time I will take the time to color them, but for now, I simply stamped them. They are so cute! I wanted to fiddle around with a new floral stamp and punch bundle that I recently got out of the Annual Catalog, called "Pop of Petals" bundle. There are several stamps to make different flowers and even one stamp to make a butterfly! I used a bit of Wink of Stella on the flowers too to jazz them up a bit. I grabbed one of my new rectangle framelits for the sentiment. It's the perfect size!
When I saw the "Fable Friends" stamp set, I immediately wanted to pair it with some of the new Gingham Gala paper. There are five wonderful colors and your hardest decision will be which color to choose! I chose the Balmy Blue to make this card. I again used the rectangle framelits for some of my cutting and Stampin' Blends for my coloring. I don't think this bunny could be any cuter!
I loved the bunny so much, I had to use it again! This time I chose a Grapefruit Grove palette and used some of the foil paper (a SAB freebie) for my background. I used the quilt embossing folder, added a doily and used some more stitched framelits to accent my layers.
For the last one, I decided to tackle the squirrel and use my watercolor pencils and blender pen to see if I could get something I liked! I stuck with blues and yellows so I could use the background paper out of the "Garden Impressions" DSP pack. The circle stitched framelits were perfect to use for this card.
I am sure you are already thinking of more ways to use this fun set! Sometimes it's fun to do something simpler that focuses on the stamping, getting back to basics a bit! This stamp set would be a perfect go-to for baby cards, children's birthdays or Easter as well. Add it to your wish list today!
Check back with my blog again today when I will be sharing all the details of the new 2nd release of Sale-A-Bration freebies! There's lots more to love during Sale-A-Bration!
Happy Stampin'!,
Sarah
