As a Demonstrator, I have this dilemma year upon year of having to let things go because they are retiring, and one of those was Gorgeous Grunge. Sometimes absolute favourites which I find too difficult to say “good-bye” to gets put away in a special place, but who am I kidding – a year on since it retired – it still hasn’t seen ink!
Point I’m trying to get to, if one goes, then something better will come along and it has! In today’s video, I’m featuring the retiring Badges & Banners set and its matching Best badge punch and a sneak peek of a new stamp set called Artisan Textures. Roll VT – enjoy.
Don’t confine yourself to just using it as a badge, you can make woodland critters like the owl and also use the top of the best badge punch to make a scalloped edge as illustrated in the card with the bird cage. For the owl’s breast, I used the retiring Sweet & Sassy Framelits and for his eyes and beak thankfully we still have the cookie cutter builder punch.
Did you know that if you click on the pictures below it will take you directly to the item in my online store which will give you more detail on the product? You can place an order too, if you wish and it would be very much appreciated.
