Well it time to
crank up the blog again. I am going to try one more time to post every
day. I look at different blogs everyday
for card inspiration and sometimes I find myself getting angry because there
isn’t a new post for the day. This is no joke trying to do a card and post
everyday to help inspire someone else. So thanks to the crafting bloggers that
can keep up with the pace of one or even two or three blogs going on in a week.
Ok for my post
today, let me just say that I like using a lot of different brands I finally
got my hands on the new ink pad in colors from Stampin Up and they are really
hot. This is truly a great improvement. The colors are rich and the coverage is
awesome. I also have one of the new stamp sets called Summer Silhouettes. If you like you can go over to my demonstrators site and view the Stampin Up products.
I
made several sketches that I want to try with them. For my first card
I used lucky limeade, crumb cake, summer starfruit,raspberry ripple and
very vanilla. I used the top notes bigz die for my stamping surface in very vanilla.The leaves on the front I tried
to create some dimension by stamping off once for one set of leaves and then stamping
again for the other set. I used the new Fancy fan folder for the background layer which also matches one of the stamps in the Summer Shilouettes stamp set.
