When I’m in a slump…
….I like to work with old faithful layouts to get me back out of it.
Vacations are hard on my stamping mojo. My rhytm is off and I have a hard time getting back into it. I haven’t stamped much since we got back from San Antonio. There is always lots to do and so many kids in the house. I can’t wait until school starts (August 20th…I am counting the day, 13 if you count today) and I have my quiet mornings back.
Anyway…today I NEEDED to stamp. I do! I have all these glorious new sets and supplies staring at me. Here is a relative quick card that hopefully get me back in the groove.
I used the True Friend set and the Apple Cider designer paper from the upcoming Holiday Mini catalog.
The card base is a regular size piece of River Rock cardstock. The medallion is made out of three parts. I stamped it once in Really Rust on Whisper White, I embossed it once in Really Rust on Chocolate chip and stamped it in Really Rust on River Rock.
I cut the first two medallions out completely and layered them on top of each other. I used the 1″ circle punch to punch out the center of the Really Rust/River Rock medallion, colored the flower center in with chocolate chip marker and added a vintage brad in the center.
Can you believe I added two All in a Row stamps to this card. I used the Argyle as well as the solid dot line for this card. the River Rock double stitched ribbon finishes the card off.
I am crossing my fingers that I can think of my next card a little bit easier. I called my downline here and asked her over. I always work better when someone else stamps with me!
Hugs!
