Good mid-week morning, peeps! Today I tried my hand at using the stamp set and dies that will be available January 4, 2022 in the Jan-June Mini Catalog. Jo Blackman demonstrated this bundle at our OnStage in November. I haven't even come close to the beauty she created. I will be making this again so you will be able to see how I improved! I attempted to make the tulip fields look like they were in dirt but I think I only muddied the picture! There is definitely a learning curve with placing the tulip field stamp on the cardstock and I hope I learn fast! Well, here it is...I feel like I've only been stamping a week instead of 10 years!
Ugh! I shouldn't even be posting this! But, I wanted to give you a sneak peek of how awesome the Windmill Fields Dies are and the Tulip Fields Stamp Set is. The birds are from a stamp in the In the Moment Stamp Set, also available January 4.
So because I didn't like the front, I didn't do anything special with the inside but here that is too! I a stamp from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set and a die from the Ornate Frames Dies.
No challenges for me today unless I can find "the ugliest card" challenge!
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop. You won't be disappointed!
Very pretty. Merry CHristmas. No time to make and send cards. Got yours, thank you. more in the new year.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie, I understand.
DeleteSo pretty Karen! Such a great stamp set bundle! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amy.
DeleteLOL, that's exactly why I didn't get this set right off the bat...a wee bit too fussy for me to try to line up! Although when I was a kid, my lifelong dream was to go to Holland and see windmills and tulips!! So maybe it will jump in my cart one of these days! I do love the colors you chose and your windmill is spot on!
ReplyDeleteThank you, LeAnne. You are so kind!
DeleteLOVE this Karen :) I haven't gotten this set yet and now I'm excited to get it after seeing your card!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen, you are so sweet!
DeleteLovely tulips, Karen! Have fun tweaking it - you've got a GREAT start with this one! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary. I won't give up!
