Gallery Grunge & Touches of Texture


I created this set of cards to highlight the stamp set Gallery Grunge. I picked Touches of Texture to go with it and then the retirement list came out and Touches of Texture is leaving us so I am going to share these cards with you! Having seen the newest catalog, there are other sets that you could replace Touches of Texture images with.

On this first card I wanted to add a little touch of color so I used the Wink of Stella brush to pick up just a bit of Rich Razzleberry to put some color and shimmer on the flowers. It's hard to see that in this picture but it is really pretty.


I added the leaves from Painted Harvest in Garden Green for some leaves. The flowers were fussy cut. I used the chevron flooring to add the background. It wasn't too hard to line up the edges and create a cohesive background.


I used the dies and stamps from Well Said, a stamp set in the Occasions mini that will be caring over to the main catalog this summer. I'm so happy that this set is caring over.


Stay tuned for more retiring stamp sets and the cards I have made with them.

Happy Stampin'!

Touches of Texture


Stampin' Up! has published the retiring list for this year. On the list is Touches of Texture. I am always sad to say good bye to stamp sets. It's like missing a friend. (Although, I'm usually consoled by new rubber come June.)

Here are 3 designs that I made using Touches of Texture. These are great #simplestamping examples too. There is not much needed to create these cards other than paper, ink, and stamps. 

The first one I used the flower as a background stamp on the So Saffron card base. When I tore the edge on the Night of Navy and Whisper White cardstocks, I tore them at the same time. That is how I got a more uniformed look to the torn edge. 


Touches of Texture has an outline of a flower as well as a flower fill in stamp. I only filled in a couple of the flowers instead of all of them giving the card a bit more texture.


When I made this last design, I couldn't decide which color I wanted to use for it but I wanted a monochromatic card so I made 2 cards with each color I had out when making this cards.

Here is Night of Navy.


Old Olive


So Saffron


Which is your favorite color for this design?

Don't miss out on this and many other great sets! The greetings on these cards are also retiring at the end of May as well as the Navy gingham ribbon. Let me know how I can help you!

Happy Stampin'!
