Today's simple Sunday project features the retiring Accented Blooms Stamp Set. I love the large floral image that includes space for the sentiment. You could opt to use one of the sentiments in the set or an alternative one from elsewhere. Today I chose to stamp my sentiment directly into the space on the image. If you're not feeling brave you can also stamp it onto a separate piece of card and cut it out with the coordinating Tailored Tag Punch. ACCENTED BLOOMS I began this ... VIEW POST
Garden Trellis and Accented Blooms
Today's card project uses the Garden Trellis Textured Impressions Embossing Folder® and Accented Blooms Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Today however I saw a place holder with an area ... VIEW POST

I started with a layer of Very Vanilla Card and used StazOn Jet Black Ink to stamp sections of the main image from the Accented Blooms Stamp Set around the edges, taking care to ... VIEW POST
Spoilt for choice
Yesterday was another exciting day as I took delivery of some more new products from the Stampin' Up! 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue. It wasn't a huge order but it did contain some special mixed packs containing card in the new and returning colours, and a pack containing all the new and returning colours of Stampin' Write Markers. Now, even though I don't yet have all the new colour ink pads, I have the option to use the markers directly on the surface of the stamp, or to scribble onto an acrylic ... VIEW POST
