Aug 24, 2013 | Cards, In Colors, Washi Tape |
One of my favorite new stamp sets in the Stampin’ Up! catalog is the Tape It stamp set. It gives you the look of Washi Tape! And right now I’m really in love with Washi tape. I even had a class this month Wild about Washi and I had so much fun creating projects for the class I went a bit overboard. Everyone that attended go to make a bunch of cards/projects. I even had more ideas that didn’t get included in the class. I’ll be sharing the class projects this next week but today is one I made afterwards for one of my card clubs that met this week. It’s just hard to stop…
The colors for this card are Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana (and Whisper White). I love these colors!
I wasn’t sure how much I would use the new Smoky Slate which is a light gray color but I am using it a lot.
Here is what I used on this card:
- Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana (one of our new In-Colors), and Whisper White card stock
- Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana ink
- Tape It stamp set – it’s so easy to just stamp these tape pieces in any combination
- Flower Shop stamp set and the Pansy Punch – love the coordination of these too
- Mini Silver brads
- A Dozen Thoughts stamp set – this is a great set – in case you missed it in the catalog it is in the kid/baby section – I find myself using this one all the time – my new go to greeting set
My BOGO sale is over – it was fun for me and fun for everyone that came and shopped and then got to shop for new products too!

These are some swap cards from my team meeting earlier this month.
Leishman’s swap card
Lisa’s swap card
Laree’s Swap card
Fran’s swap card
Fran used the Specialty Designer Paper in the Holiday catalog and it has foil in the design which seemed to cause me some issues with trying to get the photo edited. Sorry it isn’t a great picture of it.
My swap card was the Animal Talk card with the Circle Thinlit dies I posted last week.

Today I’m going to share a traditional scrapbook layout. It’s a very spring looking layout. But outside today we are having a very fall like day. It’s August in Georgia and we didn’t even reach 70 degrees – the news said it has been a decade since we have had an August day with temperatures this low.
Now on to the scrapbook layout…..
This layout idea came from Wendy Randall – she made hers last spring uses papers and embellishments from the Stampin’ Up! spring catalog. I changed it to use the Epic Day This & That Designer paper – it was a great pack of paper to use for the layout since it had the greens and blues in it plus some neutrals – Crumb Cake & Basic Gray and a pop of color with the Daffodil Delight. All of these were perfect colors to use with the For the Birds stamp set.
The images from the For the Birds stamp set were stamped with Black Stazon ink and then water-colored with an aqua-painter and the ink colors. Then each image was cut out. I didn’t use the words except for one phrase for the bottom of the layout.
The layout is all ready for photos. I hope you like it!
I think I may make some cards with this stamp set and colors – I really like the combination.
You can shop online here at my website Online Store.
