Let your inner artist loose with fun stamping techniques! The Fine Art Floral suite is the perfect combination of whimsical watercolor floral and glamorous gold accents. You will love all the ways you can use the Gilded Leafing Embellishments to create a unique effect much different from gold heat embossing or gold foil sheets.

TIPS: The Gilded Leafing is packed tightly in the container and is super light so it can “float” around easily. Open the container carefully and consider storing the leafing in a larger storage container with a lid. This makes the leafing easier to use and also easier to return excess leafing once done.

Wonder of the Season Suite

Posted on October 24, 2020 by Lisa — No Comments ↓

WONDER OF THE SEASON SUITE

When you think of Christmas what do you imagine? I don’t have visions of sugarplums dancing in my head, but I do picture reindeer, sleighs with bells, and a cozy home decorated with mistletoe, lights, and garland.

You’ll find those traditional colors and iconic images of Christmas in the Wonder of the Season Suite. This mega suite includes two stamp and die combos, two Designer Series Paper choices, a Memories & More Card Pack with coordinating decorative Card & Envelopes, plus embellishments and ribbon to put the perfect finishing touches on your holiday projects.

Even a perfectly traditional stamp set can take on a modern flair when combined with non-traditional colors and layout. I think you’ll love the unexpected look of the trendy card I’m sharing in the tutorial below. Which style is your favorite traditional or non-traditional?

I appreciate all of the wonderfully talented stampers out there for sharing their creativity. I am inspired by their designs when I create my cards and projects.

If I remembered where I originally saw the design, I will absolutely give the credit to the original artist.
