Thankful Forest Friends - WWYS Challenge #37

November 9, 2015

Thankful Forest Friends is the challenge stamp set for this week's (WWYS) What Will You Stamp Design team. This set is so much fun to use and is easy to ink with Stampin' Write markers.

To create the pattern in the background I stamped the small leaf sprig over and over. I used a similar technique last week with my For all Things card. When I find a technique I like I tend to use it a few times. :)

Visit the What Will You Stamp blog to see all the goodness the team has created with this set. Want more inspiration? I created a pillowbox package with this set back in August. And a fun tag and card for a baby shower in September. This set is super versatile! Happy stamping.

Use your STASH - Bring on the Bling! This is the perfect challenge for this card. I have so many rhinestones and sparkly dots that it made perfect sense to use as many as possible to decorate this tree. My card is inspired by a recent wreath project @paulinespapier created using embellishments. 'Use Your Stash' is a monthly instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we have on hand. The bling is from decades of crafting ... the stamp set is called 'Twinkle Trees'.

Blending Brush fail … but I made this card work in the end. The paper on the Specialty Embossed Cards has a little tooth and I could not get a smooth blend. Enter operation cover it all up. Haha. This card is all paper. The scrapbook kit is called Keeping Traditions SWK. Card created for #gdp526 #stampinup #cardmakingreels

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp. Colors are Highlander Heather, Cloud Cover, & Lost Lagoon. @global_design_project #gdp525 #stampinup #calmandbright
