Greetings!
The first couple times I went through the 2022-23 Annual Catalog, marking down what I wanted to order, I skipped right over the Graceful Tiles stamp set. After a few more flips through the catalog - and yes, it's a regular occurrence for me - I started noticing the beautiful messages included in the set as well as taking a closer look at the images and I added it to my shopping list. I'm so happy I made the choice to order it recently! I love those sets that are under $20. It makes it easy to decide okay, now's the time to add this to my order, especially during Sale-a-bration time. Some days I simply need a couple incidentals like some Stampin' Seal Refills and a color or two of cardstock, and an inexpensive stamp set is a great way to get the total up to $50 so I can get a FREE item added in my cart as well!
The Rings of Love Designer Series Paper, which is FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration, was my choice to add to my cart. I could see enough of the papers to appreciate the wonderful variety of colors and prints and I am so thrilled I did so. Who knew that one of the DSP prints would pair so beautifully with the Graceful Tiles stamp set. I am absolutely in love with this card and couldn't wait to share it with you!
Isn't it gorgeous! The color combination alone is so fabulous! It evokes such a calming feeling which is perfect to go with the medallions, or mandalas if you prefer. I tried and tried to see which stamp I liked best for the medallion and then looked at the size of these two and decided to layer them together. Yep, that was the answer! Doesn't it look gorgeous with the larger print in the background? Love it!
Notice the stripes on the Orchid Oasis cardstock panel? It's such a simple technique - simply score the cardstock to add a nice touch. I used the Simply Scored® Scoring Tool so my lines are a perfect 1/8" apart, and just did three at the top and bottom of the piece. The tag was created by using the fabulous new Very Best Trio Punch in the July-Dec mini catalog. Note to make sure you insert each corner in to get the same profile - my first tag had three going one way, and the fourth one was the opposite way, so keep that in mind when making your projects. I'm here so you can learn from my mistakes 😄
