Color for a Unique Card

-

 Not too long ago, adult coloring books were all the rage. Most of the books are too large to color and use as card fronts, but if the designs are abstract enough, you could trim it up to make it work.


Recently I ordered some magnetic sheets to fit my dies inside of their respective stamp set cases. They were ordered from Honey Bee Stamps. Inside my order was a 'thank you for your order' post card and I decided to color it. Below is the end result - using Stampin' Blends markers, it really brightened up the card!


So on days when you aren't feeling particularly creative, try old-fashioned coloring instead. The results can be stunning!

Happy Stamping,
Suzanne

Craft Room?

When was the last time you took inventory of your craft stuff? Are you like me and enjoy more than one craft?  We recently moved and downsized. This past month I've come to realize that if you name a craft--I've probably tried it and bet there is something I can contribute to your stash. One find was a stash of hardanger embroidery items that haven't been touched in a long time! Along with cross-stitch, quilting, beading, diamond painting, items for my 19-year-old's baby scrapbook (that hasn't been started), and of course, my first love, cardmaking. Visualize stuffing a bratwurst into a straw. That is what it is like consolidating it into my new craft room. It is coming along, but not as quickly as I had hoped. I LOVE that I am on the first floor with a couple of windows for natural light. I need to be creative on how this all gets stored. The beauty of this move is that it allows me to be brutal on what to save, what to store for a future project and what I can do...
