Celebrate

I decided to create a card for stamp camp that could be used for an Easter card but versatile enough that it would work for another occasion as well.
The flowers are stamped in versamark and then embossed in white embossing powder.  I used regular white cardstock to create this card.  I used the aquapainter and watercolor crayons to color in the flowers.  I loved how this card turned out at stamp camp.  No two cards were the same, and they were all beautiful!  Order your supplies here.
Cardstock:  Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Old Olive
Ink:  Rich Razzelberry
Stamps:  Feeling Sentimental, Bordering on Romance
Accessories:  Heat Tool, White Embossing Powder, Aquapainter, Watercolor Crayons (Bolds)

Soot Stamping

Awhile ago, I saw on Barb's blog these cards created using soot stamping.  I knew I had to try it right away!  Here's my first card made with soot stamping...so fun!
To soot stamp you need to use glossy cardstock.  Light a candle and put the glossy side of the cardstock through the flame.  Keep moving it around until the entire paper is soot covered.  Be careful of the edges...blow out quickly if it catches fire :)  Yes, I do know this from experience!  After your cardstock is covered in soot, stamp a clean stamp straight down on the cardstock.  Spray with Kryon clear spray (that's what created the little spots on my cardstock...not sure if all sprays do that, but I kind of like how it looks.)  Let dry and then it's ready to use :)  Order your supplies here.
Cardstock:  Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Glossy Cardstock
Ink:  Basic Black Ink Pad, Crumb Cake Marker
Stamps:  Feeling Sentimental, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Accessories:  Hemp Twine, Big Shot, Needlepoint Border Impressions Folder, Color Spritzer

Here are the new downloads for the day!

It's March!


Hello, Stampers! 

It’s March!  Time to spring into action with your stamping tools.  There are so many great new things Stampin’ Up! is offering now….your creativity is really going to soar!
 Photopolymer Stamps
Introducing completely clear stamping! Our top-quality photopolymer has just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time and with the introduction of our firm-foam pads, let's just say they're meant for each other! Photopolymer stamps will also be unique, fun designs that will inspire you and provide more versatile options you may not see in our traditional wood- and clear-mount stamp options. 
What makes them so great?
  • They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time! 
  • They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last. 
  • Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.
  • They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time. 
  • They use FDA, food-safe material. How far can you stretch your stamping creativity? 
  • We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.
  • All photopolymer will be packaged in cello bag w/insert, but don't forget you can store them in our clear cases.
They are clearly a great choice.  The first photopolymer stamp set available is Designer Typseset (#132956) for $13.95…includes 57 pieces!!
Best of…Flowers Stamp Set
New month…new Best of 25 Years stamp set!  You can purchase this CLEAR stamp set (133342) for just $14.95.  One of my favorite all-time flower stamps is included…the upsy daisy stamp!!
