Time-Saver Tip

Happy Monday!

Seeing as everyone is busy at the start of the week, I thought it was a great time to share a Time-Saver Tip.

As beautiful as colouring is, sometimes I just don't have time to hand colour my individual projects, especially when mass producing for say, a large set, or customer thank you cards.

The Amazing You Stamp Set which is available to earn for free with Sale-A-Bration has a gorgeous flower image stamp in the set.

It's stunning on it's own, but does well with a little extra tonal colour splash in the centre.

Time-Saver Tip!

Using the centre flower stamp from the Blooms and Wishes Stamp Set (from the 2017/2018 Annual Catalogue, p. 139) in a softer colour, you can either simgle or double stamp to add some extra colour to the Amazing You flower.

You should end up with something like this...

You could also experiment with colour combinations, rather than using similar tones, which I'm sure would look amazing too!

Dapper Denim

Soft Sky

Berry Burst

Powder Pink

Tranquil Tide

Lemon Lime Twist

Amazing You Colour Theory Notepads

Today, I wanted to show you a beautiful covered notepad project using the free Amazing You Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set.

These ones here are a few I made to go out to my VIP customers who shop with me using the Host Code.

I LOVE the colour palette of the "Color Theory" Designer Series Paper stack. So when I saw those gorgeous Adhesive-Backed Tutti-frutti Sequins, I  knew I wanted to try them out together.

While I've used this design as notepad covers, these would also make a fantastic set of notecards!

Note the gorgeous Clear Wink of Stella which I used on the words, flower and a few of the leaves. It's hard to pick up in photographs, but looks amazing in person. And of course - sequins!

The notepads are from my local stationery store and measure 7.5cm x 12cm.

(The principle is to simply mat your notepad. The main cardstock cover needs to be the exact width of your notepad. The length should add an extra couple of cm to stick on the back of the notepad.

Example:
Notepad = 7.5cm(wide)  x 12cm (long)
Cardstock cover = 7.5cm x 15cm

Once you have a cardstock cover, you can decorate any way you like. That's it!

Instructions:

Notepad Cover Materials:

Cardstock cover - 14.85cm x 7.5cm
(The 14.85cm measurement is so you can use an A4 sheet of cardstock)

Designer Series Paper - 11.5cm x 7cm

Whisper White Cardstock Panel - 9cm x 6cm

You will have enough scrap cardstock from your leftover pieces for the extra scallop punch sentiment!

Happy Crafting!
