Today, we’re taking another look at the Filled With Fun bundle, which includes an adorable photopolymer stamp set and coordinating dies. This Online Exclusive from Stampin’ Up! can be used in so many different ways and will pair with any number of other super cute sets. One of the many things I love about SU! is that they design products to mix and match, which means your stamps and dies can serve you in a LOT of ways. I’m not always the best at thinking of creative or different ways to use my stamp sets, but someone in my great, big world of crafty friends has!
I’ve been coloring a lot outside of my usual design lines lately. And today’s stretch uses patterns. There are some patterned papers that really just stump me. Outside of having them stand alone and take center stage, I’m not sure what to do with them. But one of the things you can learn by following stampers who have completely different styles from your own is how to do things differently and IT WORKS! For today’s card, we’re using two very busy patterns from the Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper pack and they work together beautifully! Sometimes it’s all about figuring out how your patterns can compliment one another and remembering that a pattern doesn’t have to take center stage in a design.
Today, we’re using a sketch from Stampin’ Pretty as the inspiration for our card layout. We start with a base of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I really like how this color brought out the deeper pink tones in both patterns of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP. Rather than using the full wagon image from Filled With Fun, I chose to use a portion of it as a planter for the lovely flowers from the stamp set. Our Stampin’ Blends provide the beautiful flowers with their coordinating color. I love how perfectly the sweet turtle from Playing in the Rain pairs with this scene and sentiment. The sparkle for this design comes compliments of the white and Bubble Bath shimmer papers, along with the Blooming Pearls, adhesive hearts & flowers, and Bubble Bath sequins from Sequins Trio.
Today’s card doesn’t follow the sketch to the letter, but that’s the beauty of inspiration – it’s not your ruler, it’s just your guide!
