When is a grungy card not grungy? When you turn it into a rainbow…. This card is made with Stampin’ Up’s Gorgeous Grunge set! I got the inspiration for this card from the display boards at convention (in other words, I copied it…LOL). I was muttering to myself as I was making it “Roy G Biv” – and then discovered that not everyone learned colours of the rainbow that way? (do I date myself by saying that?!). Anyway, I love this card, and I love that it’s not a typically grungy grunge card 🙂 If you decide to reproduce this card, just be sure to have your handy Stampin’ Scrub and Stampin’ Mist beside you – so easy to clean your stamp in between colours. The “hello there” sentiment is from the Happy Day set. When we did this card in club, we also used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to ensure the lines were parallel to one another. In case you need a refresher on how to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig – check out a picture tutorial I did back in 2007!
As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I hope that the back to school frenzy isn’t too crazy for you…
This set is great for me as I’m working on my own attitude of gratitude – remembering to be thankful as part of my everyday life. Too often it’s easy to grumble about things, but I’m trying not to be a “Negative Nelly”! (sorry, if your name is Nelly…nothing personal….LOL). So once I get this set, I’m planning on setting aside some time to create some “just because” thank you cards! Nothing better than showing others that you appreciate them, right?!
If you need to set aside some time to create or for yourself (like that segue?!) why not join us at my Monthly Card Class or Stampers Club? Either option gives you a scheduled time to come and learn some new techniques and try the latest Stampin’ Up! tools. See my events page for more information or contact me if you have any questions. The kids are getting ready to go back to classes (okay, well maybe not the kids, but the parents at least?!) – so what about YOU?!
Stampin’ Up! has a new assortment of single stamps available – now through January 31, 2014. These single images come in clear mount only, and are handy for your holiday cards and tags. Click on the image to get the flyer, or click here to see them in my online store.
Remember this page? I had promised you a tutorial on how to do the photo technique at the top of this page – here it is – the video tutorial I’d promised you about how to spread one photo across a number of photo blocks in MDS. This is a fun and EASY technique to add a little twist to your photo pages. Time to get those digital photos onto a digital page and share online – or print it out and share with your friends and family!
