Paper Samplers – Last Chance!

July-December 2022 Mini Catalog product shares & paper resource samplers - Paper Resource Samplers

My paper samplers have been so popular, and this is the last chance to get your set! Get them before they are gone! My next offering won’t be until the release of the next catalog in December.

With the launch of each new catalog, I offer product shares. Shares provide you the opportunity to get a little of everything, at a fraction of the cost.

Well, this year I decided to offer my favorite resource, which I create for my class studio. And they have been a huge hit! They are so handy. And the best part, when you don’t want them anymore, you can take them apart, and use the gorgeous papers for your projects!

Paper Samplers

If you join us for class in my classroom, you have seen these on display. These samplers are invaluable for actually seeing the papers and pulling projects together, as well as matching colors and embellishments. So much so, I have decided to offer them for anyone who would like a set!

Each collection set features the catalog name and image, item number, detailed information as needed, and coordinating colors. Collections that are 12″ x 12″ are in a 4″ x 6″ sampler, and 6″ x 6″ collections are left full size.

Color Fusers Hop August 2022 Speedy Recovery

Here for You card made from the Speedy Recovery stamp set, watercolored for pops of color and layered with a scalloped contour die for the August 2022 Color Fusers Blog Hop. Card designed by Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers.

Welcome to the Color Fusers August 2022 Blog Hop where I am sharing a card made with the Speedy Recovery stamp set with watercolored accents.

The color challenge this month really was a challenge, as they are not colors I would pair together. So I chose to focus on the greens, and use the others as accent colors.

Here for You card made from the Speedy Recovery stamp set, watercolored for pops of color and layered with a scalloped contour die for the August 2022 Color Fusers Blog Hop. Card designed by Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers.

For layers, I chose a cool patterned designer series paper from the Annual Catalog called Design a Daydream, and made a focal layer with the Scalloped Contour dies. This paper collection is packed with cool prints, and you can get it free when you earn host rewards to shop with! Ask me how to do this!

The Stamps

The Speedy Recovery stamp set contains shaded images mixed with line art elements. Keep it simple by stamping in your favorite color, or be fancy and color it, like I did!

The watercoloring for this is quick and easy. Simply add any colors you would like to the bouquet to change up the look.

To create this card:

  • use a 4 1/4″ x 11″ Thick Basic White card base, score at 5 1/2″
  • die cut a scalloped rectangle
  • cut a 2 5/8″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Highland Heather cardstock
  • for stamping, cut a 2 1/2″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, and a 1/2″ x 2 1/4″ strip for the sentiment

Add Mint Macaron ink to the card front with a blending brush. Stamp image in Memento Black ink on white layer. Color as desired. Adhere to Highland Heather layer. Die cut a Scalloped rectangle, and add to card front with dimensionals. Add stamped layer to die cut with dimensionals. Stamp sentiment and ad to card front. Embellish with pearls.
