Today we are sharing samples with my new A Year of Flowers 2 and Tami Mayberry's All Occasion Tags 2. Here are some cards I shared at the party...
I added one of the Free with Three Petite Borders for interest and because that border went so well with the petals on these flowers. (Yep, I hand wrote the "for you" stamp..wait for it, just... "for you"! :)
Since they are sets of primarily greetings in one and images in the other, I've been using them together on most every sample. I made a new video showing how to create the tulip scene with some of the different elements in my set, using the same simple coloring technique as may previous video, fast and loose (hee!) but this time with the tulips and different leaves. I also wanted to show stamping in a similar shade that you'll be coloring with when you want something more subtle, instead of stamping your images in black. I had so many of you mention how much love purple in my previous post, so here is a purple field of flowers! (plus another card with a different color palette I have not yet photographed...)
Here are the full sets so you can see all the stamps you get in each!
So many techniques still to demonstrate!
You will see this set popping up again and again with my flower sets and others for its versatility, beautiful sentiments, font and tags! So many ways to use these, with dies, cut files... or just fussy cut (which I actually did on my samples today, have the dies, have the cut files...but just felt like cutting!
Now please check out more designs and inspiration from our team for these new sets!
