News — stampin' up

Hello Everyone! I am back today with another swap using the Beautiful You stampset.  But this time, instead of a card, it's a calendar! This bright, fun calendar comes from Michele Salchow.  I love how different it is from yesterdays card--it really shows that not only can this stampset be used for the light, lovely moments, but also for the bright and bold! Michele also used our watercolour pencils to colour in this stamp and did a great job!  It reminds me of a fashion artists sketchbook! Enjoy!   tams# 14228 Product List Dapper Denim 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [141414]...

Hello Everyone! Today I wanted to show you a swap card that I received from Lynn Streifert.  This stampset took a while to grow on me (I don't know why--I love it now!), but cards like this, are beautiful! I so often stamp my images in black, that somethimes I forget to do them in grey like Lynn did!  But it makes it so much softer.  I also loved how she embossed the Designer Series Paper after it was mounted on the Smoky Slate Cardstock.   tams# 14225 Product List Blushing Bride 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [131198] $10.00 Whisper...

Hello Everyone! Welcome to the second Make It Monday!  Today I am sharing a card that we are making in card class this week.  It is a case, but I unfortunately can't find the original.  If it's yours, please let me know so that I can give credit! Crafting Forever is a stampset that I received at CentreStage as a perk for being a Silver Elite (or above) demonstrator!  And I thought it was cute but wasn't sure how I would use it.  Until I saw that saying.  Crafting Forever!  Housework Whenever.  I hate housework!  So this saying is for...

Hello Everyone! Here is a quick card I came up with in May and hadn't had a chance to share yet!  I was playing around with the Beautiful You stampset, and I just love how joyful this image is--without even seeing her face! I also hadn't used my Lot of Labels framelits in a while, but by going off the page, it was like a whole new die! This is truly the definition of cute and simple!  Stamp the image & sentiment in Basic Black.  Stamp the swoosh in Sweet Sugarplum.  Die cut the piece.  Layer on designer series paper,...

Hello Everyone! Today I have a card to share with you from Janet Angi.  This card uses the Beautiful You stampset--an absolutely gorgeous stampset with some fantastic sentiments such as Life looks beautiful on you! I love that Janet did a watercolour look on the stamped silhouette.  It truly suits the stampset! I'll be back tomorrow with another card using this stampset! Enjoy!
