Today I'm going to share with you my best & worst stamping buys from the Stampin' Up! Spring Mini...
Worst Buys
Now, don't get me wrong - I still love these products, but I just didn't get to use them like I thought I would...I probably just needed a little more inspiration...but here they are:
- Sense of Time - this stamp set is gorgeous - I can't deny that. And I love it! Every time I look at it I wish I could make something with it - but all I managed to make was this card, this card, & this layout.
- Jumbo Brads - I'm sure my brain was thinking 5/8", but my fingers typed in 5/16" - so I ended up with brads that were alot smaller than I imagined & didn't fit the projects I had imagined - so they have gone under utilised.
My best buys far outweigh my worst & they have kept me busy creating - which is fabulous!
Best Buys:
- Great Friend -Did you notice how much use this set got over the past 5 months? definitely a favourite!
I love the butterfly image & have used it over & over...but also the frame is so versatile & the "for you" was used on a birthday card just the other day. - Forest Friends - Oh my goodness!! How ADORABLE are these little creatures! I totally fell for them and used the stamps on hand made cards, scrapbook pages...whatever I could!
- Choo Choo & Right On Track - these two go hand-in-hand, so they're taking #3 together. I had so much fun making pop-up cards with these..and adding my little Forest Friends to the cards was the icing on the cake.
- Tree Trimmings - Oh how I have LOVED making Christmas Cards & tags with this stamp set - with a bit of glue pen & Dazzling Diamonds Glitter these ornaments are simply stunning!
- Ski Slope DSP - I just love how the one set of paper has such a fabulous range of richness & brightness - I'm sad to see this paper go :o(
- 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon - this stuff is just GORGEOUS!!! I've used mine a little sparingly over spring because I haven't wanted to run out..I really should get another roll for Christmas wrapping.
- Corduroy Brads & Buttons - Love the texture, love the dimension, love the colours - what more can I say?
