Fiona Stanton: Tranquil Textures Class

Tranquil Textures Class

I had a thoroughly enjoyable class on Friday, featuring the Sea of Textures suite. This includes a stamp set, dies, papers, cardstock and sprinkles - we managed to use them all creating three very lovely projects.

I love that Stampin' Up produce suites, things that co-ordinate nicely with each other so that we can concentrate on the designing and not the 'hunting in every nook and cranny to find things that match and then finally using the closest things we could find' afternoons!

I did test my guests on Friday, by making the string a few of the tranquil textures sprinkles onto the linen thread, very tricky without the right glasses! However, they all loved the projects - including the cute little bag which may get used for teacher gifts.

This project is really quick and simple, and a great summery card. Just ink up a rectangular stamp block with Bermuda Bay ink and Pacific Point Ink, spritz with water and press onto the card. I have used the Whisper White extra thick as that can take water a little better than the standard Whisper White. A quick but effective technique.

Spot where I made them thread on the sprinkles!

This bag design I originally saw on Pinterest, from Pootles - but I changed the measurements. I love it as you get to see both sides of the double-sided paper.

Remember that Stampin' Up have two great offers for you this month:

Sign up as a Demo and get 10 free ink pads in the colour family of your choice, nearly £200 of stampin' goodies for £99. (plus you can pre-order the Colour your Seasons short term release, available to customers in August only, pre-order from the Autumn/Winter catalogue from August and sign up to join me for Onstage Local in November!).

Secondly, get 4 packs of Designer Series paper for the price of three! I have 1 remaining papershare left if you would like to sample the papers without buying them all! £39 for the DSP packs and £15 for the 6x6 in-colour and colour family paper stacks.
