Throwback Thursday – Fabulous Projects You Might Have Missed!

Welcome to another edition of Throwback Thursday—a trip back in time! For each throwback, we’ll be spotlighting fantastic cards and projects using products from previous releases. The new stuff is always SO fun, but think about all of those great products you’ve collected and set aside. They are STILL AWESOME! And we want to inspire you with fantastic inspiration from our creative archives.
Recently we debuted our fabulous Rest & Refresh collection, but let’s take a look back at a collection that made its appearance last year. You might remember some pretty spectacular products from our Good Vibes collection. Let’s take a look at some inspiring cards created with goodies from this inspiring release from 2018!
First up is this adorable project from Gayatri Murali:

It doesn’t get much cuter than the Summer Cuddly Critters stamp set and dies that were originally released in our Good Vibes collection! I don’t know about you, but I’d love to splash around in this pool with this sweet guy! You can see Gayatri’s original post HERE.

Next, let’s throw it back to this beautiful design from Debby Hughes:

This gorgeous design is such a showstopper! While the Strangeness stamp set features a gorgeous floral spray, Debby chose to watercolor the pretty bird instead. Debby also used white heat embossing in four different areas on this ethereal card including the Center Cut Geometric background stamp. You can find Debby’s original blog post with more details HERE.

And let’s not forget this sweet design from Laura Bassen:

Cheery multicolored bikes take a ride across this adorable design by Laura. She features the Classic Bicycle and Big Friend dies (both part of the Good Vibes collection). You can find Laura’s original blog post HERE. In addition, Laura shared how she created this card in a video on our YouTube channel that you can see HERE.

And finally this pretty card from Barb Engler:

The gorgeous Hibiscus Frame die from the Good Vibes collection is a knockout, and I love what Barb did with it! She used the positive portions of the die cut and colored them with Zigs and Copics. What a lovely result! The sentiment from the Vacation Time stamp set is the perfect finishing touch. You can check out Barb’s original blog post HERE.

Just wanted to say I received my most recent order from SSS today and included was the gift from a recent special promotion. This included a 6×6 sized pad of rainbow print design papers and a cute stamp and die set called Sketchbook by Waffle Flower. I am delighted and just wanted to say thank you so much!
