The Silver & Gold 6x6 DSP is really pretty but lacks some colour. The best thing about this paper is that you can add your own colour very easily! For today's card you'll learn how to use the Stampin' Blends to colour the Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper (DSP). I hadn't tried using Stampin' Blends with this paper before and I love how it turned out! 
Are you a new stamper or someone who is still building their crafting stash? In this blog post I share a few tips on what products you should have in your crafting stash. These are a few items I use every time I create:
  • Simply Shammy - needs only water to clean your stamps
  • Tear & Tape Adhesive - just rip off the amount you need
  • Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock
  • Rhinestone Basic Jewels - a pop of sparkle is sometimes needed on your card
Pocket page scrapbooking is my favourite way to preserve my memories. To me it's less daunting then tackling a 12" x 12" empty page. Using pocket pages you can add multiple photos that wouldn't fit together on a traditional layout. And it makes me remember flipping through old photo albums at my parent's place. There was a certain photo album that had 4" x 6" pockets in it and I'm sure it was a Techniques gray album, as in Panasonic Techniques. My family sold and repaired consumer electronics for many years and we primarily sold Panasonic products. The photos were slipped into the pockets and the plastic made this noise that I can still "hear" to this day! I wonder if my mom still has it? Do you have a memory of looking through photo albums when you were younger?
Have you used a sketch before to create a card or scrapbook layout? Some sketches will have dimensions provided, like mine above, while others won't. You can peruse the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue for card designs. These won't have sizes but you can use any catalogues for inspiration. Perhaps you'll discover a new project design or even a colour combination that you can try. 
Does this card make you think of Neapolitan Ice Cream? I can't have Neapolitan Ice Cream because one layer is strawberry and I'm allergic to strawberries! But that's ok, I love chocolate ice cream instead. What colours of ice cream would you make for the 3 scoops on this cone? You could even have sprinkles. 
What do you think of the bright pink and mango with the softer blues and greens on this card? It makes me think of a stormy day then the sun pops out from behind the thundering clouds, creating a beautiful rainbow overhead. The blue clouds aren't stamped but found in the Sunshine & Rainbows designer series paper. And you can punch the clouds out using the Cloud Punch.
At this month's team meeting my friend Tanya showed us how to make this fun fancy fold card. Her card used the Cute Halloween designer series paper as I have with this card, but she used the skull and bat designs. The ghost and house from one of the DSP pack and the sentiment is from the Banner Year stamp set. Do you think "Happy Haunting" works with the ghosts? 

Inside the Annual Catalogue you can find the Holidays Section starting on page 88. The Tidings of Christmas suite uses the traditional colours I like to use for Christmas: greens and red. There is a coordinating stamp set & die bundle that is designed to work with the Tidings of Christmas designer series paper. But you could use any Christmas or Holiday themed stamp set with it. I've used the Season's Blessing stamp set and now the Perfectly Plaid stamp set.

Welcome to July's Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! Our theme is recipe and using the following to create our projects: use Crumb Cake as one of your colours and incorporate food into your project (recipe card, scrapbook page about food, or maybe food related stamp set used).
I had a hard time deciding which of the images would be stamped for this card. Decided to use the sentiment as my guide - dash = salt shaker & spoonful = spoon. Both of these images were stamped directly onto one piece of Basic White cardstock but you could stamp them and die cut them using the Cookin' Dies.

Were you able to join us for May's virtual crop? We used the Ice Cream Corner designer series paper for our projects and I wanted to share a couple of my scrapbook layouts with you today.
Using strips of designer series paper along with cutting out images from the designer series paper you can create a fun layout like I have above. The main piece of paper I chose from the Ice Cream Corner DSP makes me think of drizzled chocolate. What do you think? To finish off this layout you could use one 4" x 6" picture or even add another photo to the right of the white photo layer. 

New products alert! The 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue is gorgeous and filled with some lovely items. I look forward to sharing with you what we can create using these awesome products. One of the items I'm excited to share are the new In Colors and my card today shows 3 of these colours together.
To create this card stamp the main line image floral image using black ink. Next you'll need to stamp the flowers using Pale Papaya ink onto Pale Papaya cardstock. After stamping the flowers use the Flowers & Leaves punch to punch them then cut out those flowers up a into 4 pieces using Paper Snips. Glue the petals over the floral line image your stamped earlier. Repeat this process with the leaves using the Evening Evergreen In Color to create this eye catching design. Need to see how I did it? Watch me create this card over on Instagram! While you are there make sure to follow me to keep up to date with new Reels.
When you purchase the Flowers of Friendship stamp set and the Flowers & Leaves punch together as a bundle you save 10%. Punching stamped leaves and flowers is easy with a coordinating punch!

This week I'm sharing projects using some of our beautiful blues. This card features Night of Navy from the Neutrals Collection along with Coastal Cabana from the Brights Collection. Both of these colours were pulled from the list of colours in the Playing With Patterns designer series paper. Basic Gray from the Neutrals Collection was used for the card base.
