And now Sunday

Just one here although the two others from today are on my blog. This is my favourite Stamping Up stamp with Doodlebug papers

Pretty image, like the soft colours of this one.

What a gorgeous stamp - so pretty in every respect.

very elegant, so pretty

That's lovely, Ruth - so serene-looking, despite being a bright colour.

Yes, very nice. Is that backing paper flocked? mmm

Love it, the colours are gorgeous. I always get a bit iffy about using brads. i love em, but I think to myself that if someone buys the card and their recipient just throws it in the bin, what a waste of a lovely item. Daft I know.

Yes it is flocked and they aren't brads they are just sticky things that look like them, they save the hassle of banging a hole-how lazy is that.LOL

Wow they are fabulous, what a product. chearper than brads I reckon too.

How do you choose your papers. Do you already have in mind a colour and you then just route through the paper.

Love it, love it, love it.

For this one I had in mind the colours as I nicked the layout from the pack the papers came in. Other times I have the papers in mind but mostly I colour then think about the papers, luckily today i have been able to use the basic grey on two cards. I should think about papers first but I like colouring bes!

This yummy yummy. Really well balanced and gorgeous.

Karin - know what you mean about putting brads etc on cards for
'ordinary folk' (as opposed to crafters) - that's why I use so many
in scrapbooking - that way I don't have to aprt with them.

Ilike the idea of colouring in first then choosing papers. I did do some with the Tilda Sitting stamp I have, but again it was sort of copied LO from the pic I took when buying the stamp at the fair.

Thats it Steph, 'ordinary folk' have no idea of the effort gone into the cards. One friend of mine I once made a shrink plastic shoe embellie on a card for actually gave me the card back. Cos I joked that if she wasn't gonna keep it I'd have it back....and she did. It took ages to find the right picture I wanted, then draw it onto the plastic, colour in and shrink.

I'd have rammed it down her ungrateful throat!!!!!

I just make sure the cards I make her now are not as fancy. I suppose I knew it in the end otherwise wouldn't have asked. It came about cos she had asked me to do a golf card for her mum. I used a couple of golfing buttons on it. Very nice ones. Then much later when I asked if her mum had liked it and we talked about keeping cards she said that she doubted her mum would have kept it. It would be in the bin :face: thats why I asked for it if she wasn't keeping it.
