Stampin with Sharon

Gears & Textures

I have finally sat down to do some fun creating with brand new products. Pulling out the Gears & Textures stamp set from the brand new January to April Mini Catalogue, I got to searching for inspiration. The place I normally go for inspiration is to Marelle Taylor, my lovely upline. She ran Stamp a stack classes for years and years till Covid hit. So I go and check out her projects to see how I can use the layout or colours or both to create new projects using current product.

I chose this post of Marelle’s from March 2018. I had to change up the colours to current ones as a couple had retired. So I used Summer Splash to replace Bermuda Bay & then chose Blueberry Bushel to replace Pacific Point.

I used the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder for the background layer – one on each card. And then used the Three Banner Punch and the Wishing You Joy stamp set for the sentiment. The Lemon Lime Twist sentiment was punched out of the Lemon Lime Twist layer that is under the stamped images to save on cardstock. Its a great trick on using card without it impacting the visual of the card as the punched out part is completely covered. Rotating each card adds a different look to the cards as well.

Gathering Moments Christmas

Last week I decided to play with the Gathering Moments Stamp set like I did the week before on my Facebook Live. However this time I wanted to create some Christmas cards instead. I decided to do similar to last week creating a 4 Square project. Stamping in the shape of a cross on an A4 Card stock piece and then chopped it down from there. I then started creating with some blues as well.

What do you think? Which card do you like the best?
