At any minute.  One question that I get asked a lot is “what is your favorite stamp set/color?”  At the moment it’s Fresh Vintage – which is a SAB set – and Cherry Cobbler.  But I’m also “hung up” on Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake together.  And these “favorites” change all the time – seriously – I change them constantly!  So for the moment, here’s a favorite cased from Chris Smith on the demonstrator site Stampin Connections.  I used the layouts and colors and added details. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Fresh Vintage, Elementary Elegance
card stock- Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
Ink – Crumb Cake
Etc – Doily die, 2 1/2 circle punch, Elegant Lines embossing folder, Dazzling Details

Today my youngest turns 18!  Very hard to believe.  But then again, it is fun to watch them grow up!  Enjoy – Hugs, Fran

Fresh Vintage pleat

I tried pleating card stock to make an additional detail on this card. See what you think –

I used the smooth Very Vanilla card stock – but this set looks even better on textured Very Vanilla or Whisper White.  It gives it a kind of cross stitched look.  The pleats are okay – but not very stable.  I used a 1/4 inch pleat – maybe try an 1/8 inch.  (I’m my own critic today!)

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Fresh Vintage, Elementary Elegance

But it didn’t photograph very well. This is a 3 x 6 card made with the upcoming Sale a bration set Fresh Vintage.  I realized after I had made it that the embosslit is retired.  I stamped the floral image in Whisper White and then stamped over it – slightly off (yes, I meant to do that) in Early Espresso.  In real life, it’s not so blurry – promise!

It’s funny how I look at the photo as I’m putting it up and start thinking about how I would change it!  Enjoy – Hugs, Fran

Sale a bration starts on the 24th!  Free stuff!  One of the SAB exclusive sets is Fresh Vintage. It has 5 lovely images and may be my favorite (subject to change at any time!)  This is what I did for a swap card. The idea is based on an idea in the SAB mini. 

I embossed a piece of Poppy Parade in clear embossing powder and then die cut the butterfly using the Beautiful Butterfly die.
