Welcome to my new adventure…..I encourage you to "FOLLOW" me (using the box on the right to input your email) as I spend my upcoming Stampin' Up! playtime creating projects and sharing ideas in this blog. My goal is to inspire you in your own crafting time, and be a resource for stamping tips and techniques!! It will take time to develop and build this blog over the coming year, but HERE is the starting point….yay!
We'll kick off "Stampin' with Jen" using the Occasions Catalog stamp set: Crazy For You. This set is extremely versatile, and includes 3 great images to go with a slew of words. The flower, spiral, and leaf can all be seen in the examples below. The Flower and Spiral have matching punches: Flower Medallion and 1 3/8" Scallop Circle
You will also notice the Striped Scallop Thinlit was used on all four examples! It was one of the first items I ordered last summer when the current catalog was released. I am embarrassed to say it took me the whole year to even TRY it!! But now I am hooked, and I'll keep it in reach! I found the best way to attach the lacy pieces was with 2-way glue. It was also important to use wax paper between the cardstock and the thinlit when rolling it through the Big Shot, to ease the release.
The skinny strip of black on the card above is just black cardstock, attached with a line of 2-way glue. Rhinestones create nice centers for the spiral flowers. The card base is Daffodil Delight cardstock, with an angled cut white cardstock piece taped on the right side.
