What Stamp Are You Drawn To?

Pamela March 30, 2017 March 30, 2017Thank You

Stampin’ Up! has so many different stamps to choose from, but we are all drawn to certain stamps. Some of you want the flowers and others it is the images like the cats, chicks, dogs, etc and I know it is hard to choose a favorite. I love them all, but for some unknown reason I fell in love with the lighthouse. Why I don’t know. Maybe it is the history of them and lives they effect. Anyway Stampin’ Up! came out with High Tide and it has wonderful sentiment to go with your lighthouse. So let this stamp be another light in your Stampin’ Up! collection. I know you are going to find many ways to use it. In fact, I did a card without the lighthouse. You will find that card on my Facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/stampinpinkrose/photos/a.835306279904546.1073741828.620259814742528/1031311033637402/?type=3&theater

This card was cased from craft-somniaMomma and changed a little of it. For example I used the woodgrain embossing folder and colored the folder with Early Espresso. Mine became a Thank You card and not a birthday card. It seems when we stamp that we always end up with our own spin which is a great. thing. Afterall, the idea of making cards is to personalize it. Remmeber you don’t need to make major changes to the card. Here is hers and below that is mine.

Masking Technique Video

As a stamper we like to create different background. We also like to keep some of our retired Stampin’ Up! products and this is one of them. The stripe mask retired last year, but I think it is worth showing what you can do with the masking. The stamp set is called Tie Dye and used the framelit that comes with it. You save 10% when you bundle the T-Shirt with the other stamp set called Custom Tee.

Do the you find it hard to create birthday cards for teenagers? If yes, take a second look at Custom Tee stamp set and framelit. This set can take you in so many directions. It doesn’t have to be a for a teenager. It could be for any age or sex. So consider this as a unisex set. Just perfect for your collection of stamps. I have the girl birthday card here and I will post the boy birthday card on my Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/stampinpinkrose/photos/a.835306279904546.1073741828.620259814742528/1029663007135538/?type=3&theater

What is nice about this design is that it can work with a wide variety of designer paper. I pulled out some leftover paper and it have been scrap paper. It is always great to use up all the small pieces. On this card I used the retired Birthday Party Designer paper. I loved this paper so much that I bought extra. This ia great time to look at the Stampin’ Up! Designer and pick the ones you love. In April the retirement list will come out and these items go fast. Right now you can get a FREE item with every $50 which expires March 31st.

Here is a sneak peek at the technique video for tomorrow. If you have not subscribed to my newsletter then you are missing the technique cards that go with Wednesdays video. You can subscribe to it below this post.

Tips and Tricks

Stamp Set: This stamp comes with tons of pieces which allow many choices on your design. The shirts come in two sizes and a tank top which is perfect for a sport top. Then there is the piece to dress up love for a wedding. You can even put a collar on. Best of all this comes in a bundle which you save 10% and makes it easy to cut.

Color: For this card I used Melon Mambo which was listed on the paper pak. It so great that Stampin’ Up! list the colors on the Designer Series Paper. It takes the guess work out.

Ink: Melon Mambo, Archival Black

Paper: Just follow the colors on the package and use what ties to the paper. I usually start with darkest color which in this case is the brightest. Then add the lightest color (yellow) and follow with your white. Then all you need to do is decorate.
