Who can resist looking back and pondering how time changes things? I am a huge fan of old pictures and preserving memories. When possible, I will include a throwback in my Thursday post. It may be an old picture, an early card sample, a new use of an old set…who knows? Could be anything that stirs a memory, maybe not even related to stamping!
I was playing around with “Cool Treats”, a set from the upcoming 2017 Occasions Catalog, and it brought back this memory, from 2007…
I made this card in a class; I wasn’t a demonstrator at the time. It uses two sets that retired in 2007 – “Sparkling Summer” and “Treat Yourself”. There is a layer of Crystal Effects (also a retired product) over the popsicles that creates a glossy finish.
“Cool Treats” is a super-fun builder set of popsicle and ice cream elements. It has a fabulous coordinating specialty designer paper collection and framelit set. You can’t see it in the picture, but each of the treats on this strip of designer paper has a clear glossy coating, similar to the effects we were creating on our popsicles ten years ago.
These products from the 2017 Occasions Catalog will be available beginning January 4. Please contact me at stampyourworld@gmail.com if you would like a catalog – I will be happy to mail you the Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration brochure.
Have a great day!
