Tuscan Vineyard

Do you ever find a stamp set you’ve had for a long time and realize you haven’t used it yet.  That’s what happened to me as I was planning make & takes for my Bingo Party.  I’ve had the Tuscan Vineyard stamp set which I loved and had to purchase but then it sat on my shelf and I forgot all about it.  I pulled it out and fell in love all over again.  I used a new In Color which I think is PERFECT for this stamp set.

Fresh Fig is the new color — isn’t is perfect for the vineyard.  I paired it with Soft Suede and Sahara Sand.  I love the row of corks — I even added them to the inside of my card.

It was a fun card to make — a little shabby chic but a sweet elegance to it too.  It makes me want to sit with a friend and share a bottle of win.

One Wild Ride

As we come into the final days of the Annual Catalog and prepare for the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog I wanted to share a card with a mix of old and new.  My sister, Tina, designed this card and I LOVED the use of the new Wood Textures designer paper.  I asked her if I could use this design for my class — she generously said go for it.  I changed to Cajun Craze background and the new 1/4″ Copper Trim and everyone was very pleased with it.

I think the Wood Texture designer paper “makes” this card — you stamp the motorcycle right on the paper.
The Life’s a Journey badge is also stamped right on the designer paper, then trimmed close to the edge.  I punched a piece of Early Espresso cardstock using the Best Badge punch to outline the badge.  

We stamped the inside of the card too.
