New Stamp Set Parade … Day 4

Hello Stampers ~

It’s finally Friday … and my last day at Frabill.  For those of you who have not heard yet, the company was sold and moved to Illinois.  I chose to build my Stampin’ Up! business.

Today is our fourth installment of our new card parade, and it has a bit of a twist!  A fun and easy technique for you too … White Washing!

Begin with the “Natural Composition Specialty” paper and the Craft White Ink Pad … and a sponge or sponge dauber.  Ink up the sponge with the white craft ink and rub it all over the “Naturals Composition” paper.  Let set for a bit, then with a paper towel, whip the excess ink off the pre-embossed paper… it really makes the pattern on the paper “pop”.

On that note … our card today has a “masculine” look!

Today’s featured stamp set is: CHALK TALK

It’s this technique cool?!  It’s quick and easy, and a bit “manly”.  I saw them doing this technique to antiqued furniture on all those home design shows.  I also saw them do this to update the look of a fireplace!

I thought the “White Wash” technique would go good with a stamp set called “Chalk Talk!”  I also wanted to give it a different flare by using a softer color .  I “aged” the tag a bit by sponging the edges and crumpling (is that a word?) up the cardstock.

I finished the card off by adding the additional hearts … because when your thanking your man, you want to add a little heart

New Stamp Set Parade … Day 3

Hello Stampers!

It’s back to the New Stamp set parade!

You have already seen cards made with the “Flower Shop and Six Sided Sampler stamp sets…  Today, I will introduce the third in my series of seven that I am showcasing!

If you are one of my club members or have hosted a stampin’ party with me… you have seen this stamp set!  You got it … It was your Hostess Appreciation Invitation!

Today’s featured stamp set is: MOSAIC MADNESS


101_1326

I created this card with the specialty “Quarterfancy” Designer Series Paper.  The “paper”  I used is actually a “printed window sheet” … how cool is that!  It is the white pattern over the Island Indigo cardstock!  So you could have this print in any color you want, just change the cardstock behind it.

I ran the center flag through the Bigshot using the  Mosaic folder to add some texture, then each of the stamped images were punched out.

I have seen so many beautiful samples made with this stamp set, it truly is a “must have”  When you purchase it … don’t forget to bundle so you can save 15% off the set and punch.
