There hasn't been enough time to share all the fabulous products in the Spring Mini that will be retiring the end of June . . . so I'm highlighting my favourites in the next few weeks before they are gone for good!
I loved the Artfully Composed Suite on p. 32 of the January - June Mini as soon as I saw it - it was like a breath of spring in our early days of looking at this new catalogue. Although I've used it for some cards, I haven't really showcased it for you so you can see the potential of the stamps and dies as well as the gorgeous Designer Series Paper (which is on sale while quantities last).
My cards today show how you can take more than one design of the patterned paper and make a great card . . . my first card uses four different patterns and they all work together. That's what's so good about getting a pack of our Designer Series Paper as you know they will coordinate so well. My second tip is to check the catalogue description (or the back of the package once you get it) and the solid colours that coordinate are listed so you know right away which cardstock and ink to reach for.
I used Pear Pizzazz for my card bases, and Evening Evergreen for my inked sentiments - both colours listed on p. 33 to help you pick your papers based on what you have - or what you are planning to purchase! I do love the mixed font styles in the sentiments - they make a great focal point on any card!
My second card played off two of the pictured ones using some of the elements of both to create my own style - I wanted to try the border die in the Tropical Layers Dies so used it on the lower edge of the main pattern then I added two other elements using more die cuts. I love the look of them cut from pieces of the DSP don't you?
While there is still stock of these items, I wouldn't delay if you want to add them to your crafting space - retiring products tend to sell quickly so order here and you know it will be on it's way to you! While you are ordering please include my current Host Code BB6229W7 (if your orders are under $200) then I can track your orders and put you in my draws to share Host Rewards after my Craft and Chat events each month.
Next Craft and Chat is Tuesday, June 22nd at 7:00 pm on Zoom - I'm continuing with my Zoom classes so anyone can join in and share crafting time with us. I love seeing my friends from all over the province and even outside BC when they are traveling! If you aren't getting my email invites from "Mixily" please let me know and then RSVP so you can get my handouts too.
