Renewed Interest in Older Products

Happy Weekend!  I'm back to share a quick card I made yesterday afternoon.  My boss was in Mexico on vacation a few weeks ago and brought back some little clay painted jars for her employees that she picked up in a local pottery studio.  I wanted to give her a thank you note and I remembered I had some Mexican-themed stamps from way back in the days of A Muse wood-mounted stamps that would be perfect for my idea.  While my personal crafting style has definitely evolved over the years, one of the things I liked (and still like) about A Muse products is that it was pretty easy to create some great cards with just a few simple supplies.

It's so easy to get caught up in all of the new products that are constantly coming out, and I certainly enjoy acquiring new supplies like most crafters do, but I have a hard time getting rid of the old stuff.  And when occasions arise that prompt a certain idea you want to execute--like the one I had yesterday--it's great when you can go into your stash and find exactly what you want to carry out your plan.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you've had some time to create this weekend as well!

April 2013 PTI Blog Hop: Design on an Angle

I'm back to share my April blog hop card, which was to create a project that features something tilted.  For my card I broke out my Wonderful Words dies and die cut the  "you" at an angle on the white panel.  I prefer to use the little pieces inside the die cut letters when using the negative portion of a word die cut, so for this project I adhered them flat on to the card base, but popped the white panel up with foam dots to give the card more dimension.  The dots stamp is from Savvy Stamps.
