January Stamp of the Month ~ Card Idea

By -
I am really enjoying the new stamp of the month D1452 Find Your Style. There are beautiful little cutout sentiments throughout the stamps. Simply Incredible!

For this card I found paper and ink to match the real colors of a bluebird! Indian Corn Blue and Cocoa papers are perfect here with some Free Spirit paper. I then skimmed the Quick Reference pages of our Originals how-to book and found this elegant pattern, On Your Left (pg. 21), which perfectly supports a 3x3 stamped image.

I used sponge daubers (z726 $3.95) to add the blush of color on this pretty bluebird. I mixed Hollyhock (Z2128) and Vineyard Berry (Z2157) for the correct bluebird color.

Edges are roughed up with our Edge Distresser (Z1297 $2.50), and some
are sponged with the matching cocoa stamp pad (Z2114).

I know you would enjoy this stamp set, too - especially for FREE! All you have to do is get our workshop on the go, and four other brand new products, which are already on sale, and this stamp set is yours free!

I've been taking a few minutes to do this, while cleaning up, instead of stashing them, typically never to be seen again.  Today is a great example of this goal giving wings to creativity! So, I thought I would share.  It is so quick and easy to create a cluster, when you already have all your supplies out from whatever project you just completed.  In this case, I had Seasons of Green & Gold scraps & die cuts left after making several kits for 3D treat boxes  ...  So, instead of trying to squirrel them away somewhere, I just started to group them together.  I created a cluster , turned a negative-space scrap into a little tag, and was about to add it to my little divider box of just such creations, when I noticed one more 3" strip on my table.  Having just bought some blank journals, my mind we...
