Hello! Happy Tuesday! Taylored Expressions is introducting a new monthly challenge for the design team: The Baker's Dozen Studio Challenge. This will be an opportunity for us to share what makes our stamping studios hum. Each month we will have a fun, crafty question so we can share our favorites, some tips and tricks, stamping advice and more.
The question for July is:
You are stranded on a desert island. The good news is that you find a fabulous stamping hut that is well-stocked with papers, inks and other stamping supplies; however, you only have the 5 stamp sets you brought with you in the luggage you managed to salvage. So tell us, what stamp sets did you bring and why?
Choosing just 5 TE stamp sets was very, very tough! In the end, I chose ones that I think of as timeless and classic. These sets will allow me to scrapbook and make cards all year-round! My choices are (in no particular order): Love Grows Here, Discover Your Wings, Friendship Blooms, Sweet Celebration and You're My Type - Lower & #.
Although I seem to make more cards now than anything else, my true passion lies in scrapbooking. I just love it when I can incorporate TE stamps to help tell my story. I used Love Grows Here and You're My Type - Lower & # to create a layout showing Sabrina and her cousins from our recent trip to MN. They each have a special relationship with her, and because we live so far away from them, she only gets to see them once or twice a year. For sketch inspiration, I used the latest sketch at Write. Click. Scrapbook.
Here's a look at my 5 TE stamps:
And, finally, here are a couple of past cards that I made using two of these sets:
Love Grows Here (full blog post with details HERE)
