Friday Flashback on a Thursday! It's been a while since I posted a Friday Flashback (whatever day of the week it happens to be posted), and yesterday I just could NOT settle in and make anything in my craft room, so now is a good time. Today's set is Apple Blossoms, which was a hostess set in the 2010-2011 catalog. I hadn't made a whole lot with this stamp set so this was a fun exercise for me.
I made these cards before Just Jade retired and I had fun playing with color combinations using it. So here's Just Jade and Coastal Cabana.
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: Apple Blossoms
Ink: Just Jade, Coastal Cabana
Paper: Just Jade, Coastal Cabana, Thick Basic White
Accessories: Rectangles Stitched dies, Tasteful Labels dies, Dimensionals
Same basic layout for this card, and I kept the Just Jade card base and stamped the flower with Polished Pink and Daffodil Delight.

Thought I'd try something different with that tall, skinny stamp. No Just Jade this time though :)

Last card, this one using the apple stamp. Apples always make me think of back to school stuff and teachers, and maybe I'm weird but I don't like the 4U thing on here. I imagine teachers would dislike that kind of text shorthand and I think it's kinda annoying too ;) But I wanted to use the stamp anyway and I just made a mini square card.

That's it for me today, I'm heading upstairs and hoping that I can be more productive in my craft room today. Cheers!
hahaha, this is a cute set of cards and I like the colors. But then I laughed because I had the same thought at the apple - "OH. That's why I didn't get this set..." :)
ReplyDeleteI also really like this idea of revisiting less used stamp sets! You have good ideas, thank you for sharing!
I love the graphic style of this set - and totally agree with you about the 4U on the apple!!
