I so honored and excited to be representing the United States, and for those of you new to my blog, my name is Lauren Alarid and I live in California, USA. I have an incredible husband and a beautiful daughter who loves crafting as much as I do. I joined Stampin' Up! in 2016 and have been in love with the quality products ever since. For all of my returning followers, thank you so much for all of your continued support and welcome and hello to those who are just joining me! Now on to the projects!
Today, I have the pleasure of showcasing my favorite set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog, Beautiful Peacock. This exquisite set is so versatile. The feathers make gorgeous plumes, whimsical flourishes, or elegant swirls. The possibilities are endless.
As soon as I saw this set, I instantly knew my color scheme. It had to be Bermuda Bay, Lemon Lime Twist, and Emerald Envy. They seemed like the perfect combo for a peacock. I did a little bit of ombré stamping (where I start with inking my stamp in a lighter color and then use my Sponge Dauber to add a darker color on one end in a gradient). I made quite a few of them because I wasn’t sure how many projects I was going to make; plus, I love having lots of options. I used the new Shimmery White Embossing Paste to create a whimsical, glimmery background. To finish off my cards took a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels and used my Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Marker to color them to match my cards.
I had so much fun with this set I couldn’t stop! I also made a few small 3x3 note cards. I love to create a small “lunchbox” version of my cards so that I can include them in my daughter’s lunch each day. I just love this set and I think you will too!
I also wanted to show you how I used my new Artisan Team Stamp on the back of my cards. I just LOVE it!
