Glancing at Impressions is my way of exposing you to both our Abstract Impressions stamp set and our Springtime Impressions Thinlits. They coordinate together and both are amazing to work with. I have addressed this suite on another post and wanted to share a few more samples because it’s such a great combination.

So today I want to share these other samples below. This suite is so versatile because you can use it for a variety of occassions. The cards below all have different color palettes. Therefore, they represent various feelings from the sender. Allow your receipent to appreciate the card and the personal message it sends.
You can get the Sprintime Impressions Thinlits and the Abstract Impressions stamp set through my online store. Remember though, if you order both products together, you can take advantage of the 10% off bundle option. I love to save money whenever I can because it gives me more options for other products. It’s also almost the end of the month and you can still earn the $5 coupon for every $50 spent in August (before tax and shipping).

Aug 23, 2018 | 2018-2019 Annual Catalog, Aqua Painter, Bonus Days, Cards, Floral |
You can create lovely cards with Pretty Varied Vases. So, today I would like to share some samples of the Varied Vases stamp set. I enjoy using this stamp set. The vases are so delicate looking and while they are not all solid colored, you can color them or since this is a two-step stamp set, use an ink pad to fill your flower and vase shapes with color. To achieve a lighter color, stamp off onto a scrap of paper. With all the options we have for coloring, it may even be a difficult choice. Each of the blending options can have a different outcome. Another quick trick, is to select your favorite DSP and stamp the outline of a vase. Use the Vases Builder Punch to cut the vase and voila, you have a designer vase!
Pretty Varied Vases
Just look at the size variations and also, how many flower options you have. You can add other sentiments if you would like to expand the possibilities for using the images as was done above. 
Because I have a soft spot for flowers, I’m drawn to this set and it’s amazing possibilities. Once I added the little flowers and soft colors, the project came together. Another useful product is the Vases Builder Punch which coordinates with the Varied Vases stamp set. It eliminates the need to fussy cut the vases and small flowers.
You can get both the Varied Vases stamp set and Vases Builder Punch through my online store. Pick up both products for 10% off because they are part of the Varied Vases Bundle. I love the bundles and how you can save money when you purchase them together. No matter if you pick up the bundle or the individual items, you won’t be disappointed.

Aug 20, 2018 | Cards, CASE The Catalog, Christmas |
Happy Monday and it’s time for another CASE the Catalog. This week, in anticipation of the launch of the 12 Weeks of Christmas that starts later next month, I decided to create my version of the Christmas Pines sample on page 97 of the Annual Catalog. Also, keep in mind that the next few weeks will be consumed with holiday cards and projects. Our new Holiday Catalog is amazing. Lots of fun samples are coming. This sample is from the Annual Catalog because, well the Holiday Catalog doesn’t come out until September 5th. Enjoy
The Sheet Music stamp was used to create a custom background when inked with Crumb Cake and stamped onto a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Finally, using the pine needles stamp from the Christmas Pines stamp set and Old Olive ink, stamp the upper left corner of the page. Furthermore, you can add color variation by stamping twice before re-inking the stamp.
CASE The Catalog
Here is “my version” – to create the look of an old piece of sheet music, tear small strip from all sides of the paper and lightly sponge the edges plus the lower portion of the page. Similarly to the catalog sample, I curled the edges slightly and adhered the page to the Crumb Cake cardstock base. Use Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies to cut the pine cones from Early Espresso cardstock and the leaves from Gold Foil. A bow of 1/4″ Copper Trim finished the look. Use the sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set and stamp using Mossy Meadow on Whisper White and cut using the Everyday Punch. A folded strip of 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon was placed under the sentiment to complete the card.
