Artistic Etchings

Oh how I love the new vintage style stamps and supplies on page 124-125 of the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog!

I created my own patterned paper using the Stampin' Up! set Artistic Etchings. It's such a beautiful stamp set. I decided to keep the colors from the neutral collection utilizing Early Espresso (new color), Sahara Sand, and Whisper White. To make the card look a little distressed, I sponged Early Espresso randomly over the entire card. I rounded the Sahara Sand card stock corners with a corner punch.

Happy stamping!

Watercolor Trio

Watercolor Trio is by far my most favorite set from the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog. It's all inclusive - images with three different sentiments.

Curious as to how I stamped with various colors? I used the Stampin' Up! Many Marvelous Markers brush tip to add color directly onto the stamp where I wanted it. It's very easy and gives amazing results.

Sweet Celebration

Mmm! Doesn't this look "sweet"?

Simple and fun birthday cards can be created using Stampin' Up! Sweet Scoops. I added a scoop of strawberry ice cream on top the cone with a pop dot to make it look a little more realistic. I love that you can create just about any flavor of ice cream with this set. It's so much fun and it's a big hit with the kids!

Sweep Scoops is available in the current Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog. To get your FREE copy, e-mail me HERE.

Happy Anniversary

I am approaching my 12 year wedding anniversary. Boy, that is a long time! Last November I celebrated my 10 year anniversary at my place of employment. Sounds like I'm getting old, doesn't it? Let's not go there.

I made this anniversary card for my husband. The background stamp is Stampin' Up! Tres Chic and the flowers are from Watercolor Trio.

I did some sponging on this card to give it a soft, delicate effect. All you do is take a sponge and dab it on your ink pad to collect some ink, then sponge the ink on your cardstock. To achieve darker color in some areas, just sponge over the same area several times.

Here is a peek at the inside of the card. The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! All Holidays set.

Have a great day and happy stamping!
