Love Printed Papers?

Of course you do!

Well, I have two paper lines to show you that I have played with recently. All designed by ASB's
Anne & Creative Dreams.

Whether you are a paper & glue papercrafter or a digi-scrapper, these two lines fit both worlds!


American Made



The American Made paper line is one of the first complete masculine lines of paper I have ever seen. Yet, they still have enough *girlie* in them so that they can be used for almost any project.

Here, in my simple layout for the ASB Design Team, I just stamped leaves from the TAC set Pretty Posies in Palette Cognac and Burnt Umber, stamping off once before stamping onto the right side edge of the paper.


To give some depth to the top and bottom leaves, I made sure I only stamped off half the ink, so that half the stamp would be darker. I wanted to *match* the shading of my son and husband's hair in the picture.


I added words from another set by The Angel Company, Live Inspired. I stamped them in Palette inks also.


This picture is priceless to me. Thank you Anne for creating such beautiful papers that I just had to put this picture on.



Vintage Blush

How stunning is this paper?!?!

When I pulled it out of the envelope, my head immediately filled with ideas. You should see the rest of the collection! WOW!

Sympathy cards are sometimes the hardest cards to create. Whether you need to make one for someone that asked, or for someone you were close to....they just are never easy to create.

You can do everything and anything with this paper line!

Vintage Blush is a collection of whimsy florals and swirls, with a gingham pattern. There are pinks, blues, patterns and *solids*.

Here I used Bazzill blue cardstock as a base for the card. Matched perfectly! The punched oval is a piece of Matchmakers light blue. That matched perfectly too! I was so impressed that both of my favorite cardstock lines matched!

Inside the oval I stamped a swirl from the set Flourishes (TAC) using Palette Seascape ink. Then, using Charcoal Palette ink, I stamped the saying from the set With Sympathy (TAC). Still using the Charcoal ink, I used a sponge dauber and I lightly sponged the edges of the oval.


I even whipped out and dusted off my decorative scissors for this card!

Right now, all the paper designs are only available to purchase on download &/or print on cardstock. But, there is talk of printing the papers and selling them too if there is enough interest. So if you love them, please Let Anne know!>
