I have been wanting to use the Crafting Forever set to make a decor piece for my studio and I have finally got around to it! The DSP from Pieces & Patterns was an obvious choice and it was a lucky coincidence how well it fit into a section of another piece of DS from that set. It worked for me as the mat for the piece!
For the artwork, I simply stamped on Whisper White and colored in with Watercolor Pencils. For the vase, I stamped on a piece of Flirty Flamingo and fussy cut to adhere over the original stamped image. It adds a lot of pop and dimension to the piece, which you can’t see. But I was so impressed with how that turned out, I stamped and then cut out the scissor to add to the piece as well. It seemed to balance everything out. And I loved the raised dimension. The artwork is layered on Emerald Envy.
With all the cute accessories in the Pick a Pattern Suite, it was easy to choose an Eclectic Shaped Paper Clip to Match and Tie a piece of ribbon to it. I love all the ribbons this year and I like looking at them, so I decided to add several to the piece. I find if I “have everything in sight” in my studio it helps creating. This really helps spark my creativity!
Of course, the biggest boost to my creativity is that my studio is pretty much all Stampin’ Up! Color coordination is one of the things that drew me to Stampin’ Up! and has kept me coming back for more. I know I will have the products I need to be as creative as I like. And I can create anything from cards to home decor to gifts and favors for parties. Whatever is possible with paper is easy with Stampin’ Up!
