Happy birthday (Shaded Summer)

Featured ~ Paper Celebrations

One of my favourite things to do in the whole wide world is making cards with friends! This past Saturday (2 October 2021) was World Card Making Day and I was so lucky to have a few friends over (in person!) to celebrate! Two of attendees have never stamped before – one of them my 82 year old neighbour!

Our morning started with a Mimosa! Mint Macaron, Polished Pink and Floral was definitely theme! I wanted to showcase Stampin Up!’s beautiful variety of floral bundles. I also included different techniques for adding ink to stamps.

My favourite! Using Sponge Daubers to add ink to the stamp gives a softer look to the stamped images.
I used a wide variety of products but it is definitely possible to stick to one bundle and use only the layout for inspiration.

After all this, I think I am ready for some Christmas inspiration! Are you ready or is it too soon?!

Thank you for stopping by!
