Forever Young

In September, I attended a stampin up training event and it's usual to make sample cards to swap with the other demonstrators. It's a great idea as you get lots of new ideas and samples to show people. The only problem was that I had 56 to make and only two days as I'd had visitors staying with me! After a bit of a panic I came up with this card which uses the new set Forever Young and a bit of Vintage Vogue. I deliberately made it to fit the new mini envelopes which are available and I think it turned out quite well. Forever Young is a beautiful set - with matching DSP papers and fabric available (Timeless Portrait). I really like this classic image and look forward to playing with it some more.

Fun with Fabric

When I first saw the fabrics in the new Catalogue I was a bit unsure how to incorporate them into my cardmaking (quite happy to quilt with them!). So it was great to see some projects that other demonstrators had done to help inspire me. This picture shows some items made by a lovely lady named Carey Buckingham. I really liked the way she has used the combination of stamping and fabric.

The stamp set is called Forever Young and the fabric is called Timeless Portrait. They work particularly well together and suggest some very striking colour combinations. Hopefully I will show you more projects using these products in the coming weeks.
