Urban Oasis Designer Paper

March 30, 2009 By Connie | 1 Comment

Hi everyone…hope you had a great weekend. Mine was filled with NOTHING! Yeah! I haven’t had a weekend like that in a LONG time…it felt good to not have a schedule to do anything.

This quick and simple card is one of a package I made up for my mother-in-law. She wanted some Sympathy, Thinking of You and Best Wishes cards. This pattern in the Urban Oasis DSP package is one of my favorites. On one end, the long stems look simply like stripes. On this end, you can see the tops of the Upsy Daisy flowers. I had used the bottom stripes for other projects and the top 4" of the paper remained in my scraps…so I grabbed them and made up a few of these cards. I simply wrapped some White Taffeta Ribbon around the center of the DSP, adhered it to the base card of Baja Breeze, then stamped the greeting with Basic Gray ink. There is a nice verse inside, too. Simple, easy, not much stamping…but a nice card to send. Sometimes those are the best, huh?

Well, I have a pretty free week and LOTS of ideas in my head of things I want to do and make. I’ll be working away in my studio! Yeah! I have some magazine calls I need to work on, too. For the past two nights, I’ve had something in my head that I want to make and I haven’t sat down to do it…today’s the day! Hope it comes out as I see it in my head…lol!

Set: Thoughts and Prayers
C/S: Baja Breeze, Urban Oasis DSP
Inks: Basic Gray
Other: White Taffeta Ribbon

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 18 years and had my 17 year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

We created a new Gifts of Good Taste Collection with SIX packaging ideas along with our favorite (and easy!) holiday cookie and candy recipes! It is so nice to give special hand-made little gifts to co-workers, neighbors, your mailperson and UPS drivers! We’ve used a variety of Holiday Catalog Stamp Set and Dies for our decorating ideas, but you could mix the packaging up with the stamps and dies you already own…the recipe and package design is what is most important! This Gifts of Good Taste Collection has step-by-step picture tutorials featuring SIX gift packaging ideas using Stampin’ Up! products with corresponding recipes you can quickly make up and give away!
