Today I have updated my gallery with examples I have made using the Gingham Gala papers from the Gingham gala suite. The Colours are Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist. One side of the papers has small checks and the other larger checks. There are some interesting ideas on Pinterest where people have added to the papers to make them look like Tartans.
At first when I was playing with the papers, I wanted to make a baby card. I think it was the Balmy Blue checks, however, after stepping back and looking at the colours again, I was ready to play again but without ‘Baby’ popping in to my head.
I have used a number of different stamp sets for my examples. I wanted to show the versatility of the papers. Although there are limited designs and colours in the papers, they can be used with so many sets. I think that they are a fabulous addition to any stash.
I have tried to limit the number of examples using the Butterfly Duo punch as I don’t want to tease you with an item which you can not buy. Stampin’ Up! has switched the ordering off, however they have ordered some more and the ordering should be switched back on in March.
The video below shows the examples I have made using the papers.
I especially love the Lovely Lattice card, I am a secret Wink of Stella addict. I would recommend using thick Whisper White if you are planning to watercolour with it though. I hope you like my examples.
