Supplies used are Stampin' Up. Page size is 8"x8" with a base of Not Quite Navy, Riding Hood Red, and some Very Vanilla. I stamped the new stamp from Postage Due in NQN and shaded it with some RHR and Sahara Sand. I really love how the back bicycle wheel continued on so perfectly from the flower. A happy accident. Spritzed with silver Smooch Spritz which gives it a lovely pearlescence. Designer Paper is the new Fan Fair. Sentiment is from Pedaling Past.
I got a new box of goodies from Stampin' Up and I'm really looking forward to trying everything out. One of my new sets is Bordering On Romance, shown here. I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch and some of the new stitched ribbon in Summer Starfruit (which I love with Pool Party). Designer paper is from last catalog, I only got two new dps with this order so I had to use one of the retired ones to make it work.
With each new Stampin' Up catalog, there is always one stamp or set that makes me gasp or squeak in happiness. This was it for me this year, the background stamp Ex Libris. I have had a lifelong passion for old books and reading so this was perfect. I knew that I wanted to give it an antique look, so I stamped it in Soft Suede and smeared some verdigris looking colors- True Thyme, gold, and Color Box Pumpkin. Soft Suede base and sentiment from You Are Loved. Quick, easy, and flat for mailing.
A quick case from the SU catalog for a busy Monday morning. All supplies are Stampin' Up: Crumb Cake base embossed with Manhattan Flower folder, Language of Friendship stamp set in Baja and Tangerine with coordinating punches.
Two posts in one day? I can hardly believe it myself. I have been in such a stamping slump for the longest time and I'm trying to shake myself out of it. Thanks for hanging in there for me. I do appreciate you stopping by to visit with me.
The gift bags are from a previous SU mini, I embossed them with the Northern Flurry embossing folder and added the Snow Much Fun snowman, some pearls and baker's twine. A quick and easy gift packaging project.
I stamped the SU Kindness Matters butterflies and sentiment on Mulberry paper in Soft Suede and Crumb Cake inks. Cut one colored butterfly out from Whisper White cardstock and popped up in center. Base is an embossed Cuttlebug folder on Crumb Cake.
I found an old roses and vines stencil buried on my desk and decided to try ot out on a card today. Spritzed panel with Gold Smooch spritz on Confetti white cardtock. Bacground is Crumb Cake with white craft ink wheel design. Memory Box butterfly and Nestabilities frame, everything else SU.
