Weekly Wednesday

Positive Thoughts Class

Hi Everyone,

Oh you couldn't have picked a better time to stop in for my blog today. I am sharing some wonderful projects from my Positive Thoughts Specialty Class I held last Sunday. With the coordinating Nature's Thoughts dies, this is the perfect match for perfect projects. I hope you enjoy your visit.

For this first project, I just love the monochromatic theme of Crushed Curry! The designer series paper is the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP. It is the perfect background for this card. I cut the DSP to 5" x 3 3/4". Then I trimmed the strips to just a little over 1 1/8". You will have a little strip left to recycle onto a new project.

Don't forget that the inside of your card is just as special as the outside. I was able to get varying depth of the Crushed Curry by stamping once and then stamping again without reinking.

 This project was inspired by a card done by Dena Rekow, a fellow demonstrator. I really liked her take on one stand out feather. This is a great card for any occasion.

 Spring is just around the corner, and this card is all about sunshine! I used Grapefruit Grove as the base of this card and the color for the script and flowers. The script is from Very Versailles stamp set found in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. 

I really like the little flower die (yellow). It can be a great center to the large flower or as accenting flowers like this card. I also really like the little butterfly.

This last project is all about the "Avid" Stamper! It has so many wonderful things to share about. I used the 3-D Scripty Embossing Folder for both Whisper White pieces. I stamped and cut 2 Smoky Slate flowers and used a black Stampin' Write Marker to give the flowers an interesting center. I also used the Stitched Rectangle dies

I give the focal piece a watercolor wash with Mint Macaron Ink. These colors are so soft and perfect for any occasion. An anniversary or wedding wishes would be great too!

I shared another project using these products last week. I shared projects from my weekly class using stencils. If you didn't have a chance to see that post, you might like to pop over and see it.
