Trendy Trees is a popular stamp set that also has a matching wheel called Funky Forest. This is a card swap that I received at the Starz retreat from demonstrator Carolyn Raines.
The colors used are Chocolated Chip and Old Olive. The background stamp is Sanded. There is some paper piercing on the Chocolate Chip piece. And a ribbon accent and some vintage brads in the corner. The stamp set is a 2-step Stampin’ set so the tree trunk is seperate from the tree top piece which makes it easy to create the different trees as shown on this card.
Have a fun day today – I’m looking out at the water – we are at the beach with some perfect weather.

I’ve shown some of Ryan’s creative projects before and now I have another to share. I don’t know where his ideas come from but this one is good. He is making his own t-shirt decorations by creating his own stencils. He used a photograph to create his stencil and then used my Stampin’ craft knife and cutting mat to cut the stencil. He uses tape around the edges and then on small pieces he was using the 2-way glue pen as a temporary adhesive to hold the stencil to the shirt for painting. This is his first creation:
And this is the photograph that I took of him at one of his tennis matches that he used to create the stencil.
Is that amazing?
The stencil really looks just like the photo. He wore the shirt to tennis camp and the tennis pro wanted him to make shirts for him using pictures that he had. So Ryan made 5 more shirts last week. Here are a few more pictures:
Now he wants to see if he can sell some shirts to other people. What do you think?
Today is the last day of June – the Last Chance lists and Occasions Mini Catalog are ending. july 1st is the beginning of a new Stampin’ Up! year with a new catalog. New specials will be coming……so stay tuned you won’t want to miss them….
Have a creative day and try something new!
