TODAY’S PLAN

I have finally had a chance to play with the new NOTHING’S BETTER THAN STAMP SET.

Oh, it is going to be so much fun to stamp with. It was inspired by Million Sales Achiever Connie Stewart.

When a demonstrator reaches a million CSV in sales they are invited to visit the Stampin’ Up!® home office in Riverton, Utah. One of things they get to do is sit with the concept artists and discuss the style of the stamp they would like made. (CSV is method that calculates the value of sales across different markets and currencies).

If you like any or all of the following, then I think you’ll love this stamp set – CHOCOLATE, COCKTAILS, COFFEE, COOKIES!

The RECTANGULAR POSTAGE STAMP PUNCH worked perfectly for this card.

I stamped the four main words onto my card base and then stamped and punched the images.

My next project might be to make a set of 3″x 3″ cards. What do you think?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.

COLOUR CHALLENGE

A little while ago, I shared a card that I made for a colour challenge.

I find it’s a great way to work with different colour combinations – especially if they are not your ‘go to’ colours.

This was the Inkspiration for CI#80. Not my usual palette, but so pretty!

So this is my ‘entry’.

I thought the TODAY’S TILES STAMP SET was an interesting way to showcase the colours without choosing a floral stamp and colouring.

And the TASTEFUL TEXTILE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER is becoming one of my favourites!

I stamped several times using different colour combinations, then cut strips before popping each strip up onto dimensionals. The three Purple Posy tiles were achieved by using my Stampin’ Write Marker™.

I’m looking forward to inking up some of my ink spots in different colours to make some more cards.

Let me know what you think?

MORE MONOGRAMS

For this project, I wanted to make a gift box. I bought my daughters a new foundation brush each and thought that I would pop them into little gift boxes.

The MONOGRAM MESSAGES stamps, that I used for my #scrappystripstechnique card yesterday, were perfect.

I used the DRYBRUSH BACKGROUND STAMP. It was stamped using Terracotta Tile to match the colour of the fine ‘bristles’ of the brush.

The MANY LAYERED BLOSSOMS DIES gave me these gorgeous Pretty Peacock flowers to add a touch of femininity. As did the ELEGANT FACETED GEMS and BRAIDED LINEN bow.

I hope my girls are happy with their little gift.
