I love the Notes of Nature bundle. Since it's part of a suite with DSP, there's a real temptation to stick with the colours of the DSP - in this case, Pebbled Path, Pecan Pie and Gold.

I chose the <i>Everyday Details</i> bundle for its eclectic mix of images, sweet (but not too sweet) sentiments and wonderful all-purpose dies. In fact, in many ways the dies have nothing at all to do with the stamp set and you could happily add the dies alone to your collection. They are a mix of shapes with interesting patterns of holes. The circles and rectangles have some dies with double holes so you can either cut a shape or a decorative frame. Other dies cut patterns in the card, like the horizontal in this card. </div></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAMg9SV4yRajTklVfQ8gYIZuh-eREuZXfZX7Fwg1S_JIrx3YtTmjgF3755Jnfb2k_xFApvdCe3Z3JgXcgNdDmVV3LWOgEb1bu5fFvVS7lgQS3mqcBps8f2-BySnywz9uk9cwtEBESBrJH_nPoGiKdXnMINlLmpwZJ_UxXuu3ValYiS_OZU9Ays9oScOYp-/s2892/IMG_8684.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2892" data-original-width="2892" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAMg9SV4yRajTklVfQ8gYIZuh-eREuZXfZX7Fwg1S_JIrx3YtTmjgF3755Jnfb2k_xFApvdCe3Z3JgXcgNdDmVV3LWOgEb1bu5fFvVS7lgQS3mqcBps8f2-BySnywz9uk9cwtEBESBrJH_nPoGiKdXnMINlLmpwZJ_UxXuu3ValYiS_OZU9Ays9oScOYp-/w640-h640/IMG_8684.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Really, this card came together quickly.

You do have to leave the image to dry before doing the blending as it can smear, so in hindsight it might have been easier to do the blending THEN the stamping! Although this way, I could see exactly where the image was and so how far to extend the ink blended background: six of one, half dozen of the other.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqch5zTCPPZQrR9H0sscKr_03IGx8bk5s02kjNXIxTPc6rwH80ykGu3uN_799Terg6oi9EeZR0PimcqP_KYz0ow9kKqg_RrPTxOrbLW4esdnM9NAkM_5pv000JBvpWCebjRn0XIUxTyCeJmcLCE5BWNlUvxw3aUhVIz-tsfQI4fnTQkSu5KpTmHwXreKYI/s3024/IMG_8620.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqch5zTCPPZQrR9H0sscKr_03IGx8bk5s02kjNXIxTPc6rwH80ykGu3uN_799Terg6oi9EeZR0PimcqP_KYz0ow9kKqg_RrPTxOrbLW4esdnM9NAkM_5pv000JBvpWCebjRn0XIUxTyCeJmcLCE5BWNlUvxw3aUhVIz-tsfQI4fnTQkSu5KpTmHwXreKYI/w640-h640/IMG_8620.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>The sentiment is from <i>Perennial Postage</i> and is cut from one of the lovely circle dies from <i>Everyday</i> <i>Details. </i>I mounted it onto a circle of <i>Silver Glimmer</i> paper (online exclusive product), cut with Stylish Shapes.

I've made a few lovely samples with it, ready to put into the tutorial bundle and for my Facebook Live project during Stamp Camp itself. </p><p>So I'm sharing this one with you today as a bit of a teaser. It's a great technique for using up scraps and works well with any bits of paper you've got in the scrap bin.</p><p>I hope you enjoy the tutorial. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or if you'd like some more information about the upcoming Stamp Camp. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="370" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RudqcgicAcw" width="519" youtube-src-id="RudqcgicAcw"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Happy New Year and Happy Stamping!</div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Jan Clothierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11605233725615912273noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925958000447172449.post-11451737489255438722023-12-25T06:00:00.001+13:002023-12-25T06:00:00.133+13:00Happy Christmas!<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmaqI4xWWT_KjfXZccdQVRWcRdFNnjpCl14KNLH-viJsikpSWhi8gPW8VjdKamL6Eb6sw7CQqNqiDoB3iX3Rthp5UspubOi7XV64hyseEIPR3uI_fmGesRb-RkQeRa6irU7MRH-ys7jCap32fXm-5mQjkseh5BRH59JJJlWfijLR-smFzCmd4ydHD7tgFC/s940/&%20Happy%20Stamping.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" height="536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmaqI4xWWT_KjfXZccdQVRWcRdFNnjpCl14KNLH-viJsikpSWhi8gPW8VjdKamL6Eb6sw7CQqNqiDoB3iX3Rthp5UspubOi7XV64hyseEIPR3uI_fmGesRb-RkQeRa6irU7MRH-ys7jCap32fXm-5mQjkseh5BRH59JJJlWfijLR-smFzCmd4ydHD7tgFC/w640-h536/&%20Happy%20Stamping.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Many thanks to you for taking the time to read and to comment on what I post.
