"Opposite Stamp' technique.

During a day at a fellow demonstrator's house, where there were 3 of us together & we sent the day exploring the new products from the latest Holiday catalogue, (scroll to the bottom of the page to download it), & of course, the Saleabration catalogue.

We had such a great day, laughing, eating & creating - we have missed being with others to share ideas & learned techniques.

Speaking of which, Alison showed me this technique & I decided to use it for my Friday Facebook Live. I'd love you to watch it & share your creativity too!! 

These two, (Brilliant Blue & Balmy Blue / Gorgeous Grape & Highland Heather) are reasonably simple, where I have then used the Handsomely Suited stamp set & matching Suit & Ties dies, (10% off the bundle when you purchase them together!!).

You may see in the purple card that Ive used the suspender die so that the cardstock looks more like a piece of ribbon? I love how we can adapt the uses of the dies to fit the project!!

When I was with Alison, I challenged her to make a female version of this card, so she used Magenta Madness & Mango Melody - man, you need your sunnies on for this one!! But it is so perfect at the same time!

And instead of simply stampng on the inside of the card, Ive die cut one of the bows from the Very Vanilla mat & inserted a piece of Mango Melody. This pops against the Magenta Madness, right?

I think this final card may be my fav!! I decided to cover only part of the front of the card & sing the Well Suited DSP, I added another feature to it. That DSP design, (gingham, perhaps?) is quite busy, so toning it down like this makes it easier on the eye.

And that DSP works so well the inside of the card, too!!

I cant wait to try this technique with other stamp sets, they will all look so different, wont they?

During Jan & Feb, it is also Saleabration time, (the first of two this year!!). This is such an exciting time to purchase items - for every $90 of products from the current Annual or Mini Catalogue, you automatically earn a FREE product from the Salabration brochure!!

Be sure to check out which products can be earned for $90 0r $180, to reduce confusion.

And of course, if all else fails, Im here to help you!

Given that it is the beginning of the month, there is a new Hostess Code to use (36ACJASY), if your order is below $250, so be sure to use it when placing your order.

Thanks for stopping by, see you in the next post,
