I'm enjoying getting back to my blog and sorting through some pictures of cards that I've taken but not featured yet for you to see. I'm taking a brief break from the Holiday Catalog to showcase some Annual Catalog sets that you may have been curious about. The set I'm sharing today is a wonderful idea for any of you who work and like to make cards for co-workers. It's not just about birthdays, but sometimes there is a "welcome" or a "goodbye" that needs to be said as well as a "congratulations" or "just because". This set covers all the ideas and features a coffee cup and work chair as the perfect symbols of so many jobs! Here are some fun ideas I created recently:
This first card features the iconic desk chair that so many people spend so much of their life in! I chose to stamp it in Tuxedo Black Momento and then color with my Stampin' Blends. Can you guess where I got that background paper from? If you are having a hard time placing it, I wouldn't be surprised. Believe it or not, it's one of the sheets from the "Come Sail Away" Designer Series Paper! It has just about nothing to do with sailing but makes an awesome background in a little-used color - black!
My next card features one of my favorite sentiments of the stamp set, addressing the crazy it takes to perform some jobs! Of course, it could be in jest, or serious! This card is fairly monochromatic, featuring Terracotta Tile, a new In-Color this year. I used the embossing folder and Designer Series Paper from the Mosaic Mood suite of products. My coffee mug die is from the "Cup of Cheer" set in the 2019 Holiday Catalog!
And, of course, the coffee cup! This was fun to stamp with Early Espresso Ink and then lightly color with the light Pool Party Stampin' Blend marker. My Designer Series Paper choices harken back to a year ago or two when we had a hold suite of products with a coffee theme.
So, if you are part of a team at work, an office mate, etc., consider purchasing this set to make cards for all the work people! They can be any style or color scheme making it such a versatile set!
I have lots of fun things on my Stampin'Up! radar this fall. I plan to hold several classes in October as well as get going on more videos. I know for those of you who can't come to a class, seeing a "how to" video is so helpful! October 1st is the start of a new Stampin'Up! year and so I'm setting some goals. You can help me! What would you like to see me do more of? More blogging, more videos, more classes, more info about promotions? What's your preferred way to connect with me on Social Media? ~ My blog, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram? Would a monthly Newsletter be helpful? I am open to all the possibilities and would love to hear your comments! You can comment here or on any other platform and I will take it to heart! Thanks so much for your help!
Happy Stampin'!
