Vineyard Cards

 

Today I'm playing along with the January 2022 Never-Before-Used-Schtuff Challenge.

I don't know about you, but I definitely acquire craft supplies way faster than I can ever use them! Last year...around this time, actually...I purchased several of the Hero Arts HeroScape stamp sets and coordinating frame cuts. Well, today I'm super excited to share my very first creations using one of those sets, Vineyard HeroScape!!! (Hey...a year later isn't sooo bad, right?!?! Ha!)

I made four different card designs trying out different color combos, sentiments, elements, etc.


 



That last one was created especially for my neighbor girlfriend who recently turned 60 and loves rosé :)

Much of my inspiration for these cards came from the trips we've taken to Italy, so I thought I'd share just a few photos from our time in Tuscany and Cinque Terre in 2015:




 

Here's one more look at all four cards. I had so much fun putting these together!!! And...I've already started using the other two HeroScape sets that I purchased as well. I'll be sure to share those creations once they're all finished up.

 Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!!!

Sending Birthday Wishes

Hello there! Today I'm sharing a card I created using this fabulous sketch over at Sunday Stamps Challenge:

This card features the new Wildlife Wonder stamp set and New Horizons DSP from Stampin' Up! These goodies are so gorgeous!!!

 


I love that the bear is a single stamp and achieves so much detail! There aren't any coordinating dies for this set, so I actually fussy cut him out. It's been AGES since I've fussy cut anything and I'm totally out of practice, but I think it turned out okay.

Sending this card off to our nephew for his upcoming birthday. Hope he likes it!

Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!!!
