Stamp Crazy with Alison

A twist on an idea…

August 13, 2007 by Alison Solven

13 Aug

Hello Stampers,

I’ve been playing with the 3 x 3 card format a lot (more samples tomorrow) for my upcoming club meetings and was having so much fun that I got carried away a bit…

100_5782_2  At Convention I received some beautiful swap cards but one of my absolute favourites was by Lori MacFarland from Redding, CA.  I just thought this card was stunning – in fact I think I actually chased Lori down to get one of them.  When I started to really look at this card I was struck by the fact that the card stock was shimmery.  I know we carry Shimmery White card stock but Lori brayered Soft Sky ink onto the white to create a shimmery blue card.  LOVE this card!

So…in keeping with my 3 x 3 format I copied Lori’s 100_5806 idea and created this little version of her card.  I used the Shimmery White card stock and the Sof Sky ink.  The swirl design from Baroque Motifs was stamped using Close to Cocoa ink and then I used the new Chocolate Taffeta ribbon and a little element with a brad as the final accent.  This card is so nice in person – you can see the shimmer of the paper better in person.

So…if you are stuck for an idea look at cards and use the idea in a different way to create your own cards.

Happy Stamping!

Alison
