Star of Light Stamp Set

Posted on

This week I’m creating non-Christmas cards with the Star of Light Stamp Set. Without even trying, both cards seem to be almost engagement or wedding oriented. Perhaps it’s the silver heat embossing that has me thinking nuptials.

The Star of Light Stamp Set is found on page 98 of the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. This really is a fabulous stamp set with 21 beautiful photopolymer stamps.

The sentiments for both these cards are from the Better Together Stamp Set, found on page 16 of the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. Please note this set comes in two cases, I’ve simply condensed them to the one case for my own use.

Don’t forget for the entire month of July, Stampin’ Up! have a marvelous promotion going that if you buy three packets of select DSP, you can choose a forth one for free!

Painted Glass Bundle

Posted on

This Painted Glass Bundle of stamps and thinlits dies on pages 164 and 165, very much has an old-world feel at first glance but, depending on your choice of colors, it can also be very modern.

Combine it then with the Graceful Glass 6″x6″ Designer Vellum on that same page and truly, the world is your oyster (isn’t that the most peculiar saying when you think about, really?)!

Creating a Watercolor Background by Jessica Joana Winter

Posted on
This post has been written by the extraordinarily talented Jessica Joana Winter
a member of the Stampin’ Up! 2018 Artisan Design Team.
Hello friends! Today I made a card for you with a watercolor background.
I created my card using the Petal Palette Stamp Set (item 145788) and I’m going to show you how easily you can turn a simple stamped image into a watercolor image.
1. Stamp the image as usual on a sheet of Watercolor Paper (item 122959).
2. Trace the stamped impression using an Aqua Painter (item 103954) filled with water. (It’s okay if the water is clearly visible.)
3. Pick up some ink from a Calypso Coral Classic Stampin’ Pad (item 147101) and lightly dab on the water.
4. Let it dry thoroughly and then you have your stamped image with a watercolor look.
I used this background to make a romantic card, for example for a wedding. I stamped the bird in Tuxedo Black Memento ink (item 132708) on Whisper White Cardstock (item 100730) and then cut it out using the Big Shot (item 143263) and the Petals & More Thinlits Dies (item 145655).
I stamped the greeting “Glückwunsch” (“Congratulations”) in Old Olive ink (item 147090) and cut it out using a coordinating Framelit. These amazing Thinlits also include some beautiful detailed images that I cut from Calypso Coral (item 122925) and Pear Pizzazz Cardstock (item 131201).
Finally, I decorated my card with Linen Thread (item 104199), True Gentleman Buttons (item 145596), Very Vanilla 1/2″ Lace Trim (item 141672), and Share What You Love Artisan Pearls (item 146927).

Think Make-Up Compact…

Posted on

This is the best thing to remember when it comes to the wonderful new Ink Pads that Stampin’ Up! have introduced with the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog.

Admittedly it’s a tad confusing swapping between the old and new Ink Pads, opening and closing them, but once you see how beautifully these Ink Pads stack I’m sure all will be quickly forgiven!

Oh, and have yourself an... Inkee Fiddling Day!
