Today I’m showing off two great cling stamp sets from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. Presenting…….Lovely Lattice and Part of My Story!

Isn’t it just so beautiful? I see many opportunities with this stamp set – you can make that spray of flowers any colour that you want! I choose to use the colours that The Paper Players challenged us to use, Grapefruit Grove, Pool Party and Daffodil Delight. The fourth colour I choose is Mint Macaron for the leaves!

The greeting is from the Part of My Story stamp set and I did some “masking” to get just the word – friend.

TIP: I use scotch tape to cover up the part of the stamp that I don’t want to show. Just ink it up, remove the tape and then stamp your preferred word!

Here’s the list of products I used.

It’s been a chilly week (-20c or -4 fahrenheit) here in northeastern British Columbia so I went to the Animal Outing stamp set for a little warmth with this very cute Kangaroo and her joey!

The Paper Players posted a theme challenge “Crazy About Critters” and what better way to portray that than with the Animal Outing stamp set.

Our Stampin’ Blends added colour and the Big Shot die-cutting machine helped to create that narrow frame for those two cuties!

MONOCHROMATIC BUTTERFLIES

Hi and welcome to Cynthia’s Creative Corner! Today’s card is a study in Monochromatic using the beautiful Highland Heather colour from Stampin’ Up!

Of course, I started with a card base of Highland Heather cardstock! Then I added that beautiful piece of Botanical Butterfly designer paper that is Free(with qualifying purchase) from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue.

The butterflies themselves were stamped onto Shimmery White cardstock with Jet Black Stazon in and then overstamped with Highland Heather ink. I used an Aqua Painter to lighten the colour on the wings to give it a little contrast. This is just one of the cards we will be creating in the Butterfly Gala card class on Tuesday, January 15, 2019. Have you signed up yet? Visit my Class Calendar to save your seat.

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!
