Soft Textures



Product List

Touches of Texture

I should have gotten the Touches of Texture stamp set sooner!I LOVE it and it is sooo versatile, I find myself using it a lot. I also recently got Timeless Textures which is another collage style stamp. On the bottom of the card you'll see a bit of beautiful ribbon that I earn for FREE. It's a SALE-A-BRA-TION offering. You can choose one free item from the SALE-A-BRA-TION brochure for every $50.00 on your order. This metallic ribbon comes as a combo pack which includes ivory with silver metallic threads in it and ivory with gold.

Dragonfly Dreams

In case you didn't notice, I'm seriously in love with this color combo! Wild Wasabi, Bermuda Bay and Island Indigo. I needed a calendar for the bulletin board in my craft room, so I Google 'small printable calendar.' After trimming and stapling together I mounted on Bermuda Bay and Island Indigo, then added the stamped piece at the top. I colored the rhinestones with sharpies to coordinate with the colors of ink and paper. You can also color them with alcohol ink. I used one of the smaller dragonflies, so I used the rest of them on the card. This stamp set has a beautiful watercolor style dragonfly too, so I used it on the inside. I adhered the dragonflies first, then the greeting... big mistake. The gold dragonflies should have been placed over to the right a bit.

Dragonfly Dreams

I started to use this card for Card Ministry tomorrow, but then I realized it's girly and I need another masculine card for the gentlemen of our congregation. So I did the same design with more manly colors! This stamp set and coordinating Thinlits will be available in the new Occasions catalog which begins on January 4.
