Pocket Silhouette

This great little set on p. 98 of the catalog is on special this month. It's regularly $18.95 and is currently $16.11. I've created several cards shown below with this set, and it has countless possiblities.


This Kindness card uses Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette and Night of Navy along with a piece of the Bella Rose Designer series paper. I used the new square scallop punch and some dazzling diamonds glitter on the flowers. The kindness saying comes from the new Heard from the Heart set which is on p. 145 of the catalog and is a set of 4 which sells for $22.95.

The next card I made using this set uses the Tangerine Tango and Perfect Plum color combination. I used the Tangerine Tango Patterns Designer Series Paper, the striped grosgrain ribbon along with the word window and round scallop punch. I also used the white gel pen to add polka dots around the scalloped circles.















The final posting for today is another card using the Pocket Silhouette set and was created using a tutorial by Andrea Walford which you can find HERE. This is a wonderful website that I look at everyday for lots of inspiration.

Box in a Bag

Tangerine Tango is one of the great new "In Colors" from Stampin' Up!, and I used it along with the Hawaii Papaya Designer Series decorative paper to create this Box in a Bag. The website with the tutorial of how to make it is at Stampin With Di I used the new scallop punch as well as the rhinestone brads and Boho Blossoms punch for the flower. This little box will be a great way to package those small little gifts we often give.

Heard From the Heart and Bloomin Beautiful

I've been visualizing this card in my head for a while and have finally had a chance to stamp it. I'm using Chocolate Chip and Barely Banana. I was so glad to see Bloomin Beautiful made it into the new catalog, and I love the new Heard from the Heart set.

It's Time to Start a Blog!

Welcome to my stamping blog! I have been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator for almost eight years, and I finally decided it was time to start my own blog. One of the goals of this blog is to update my Stampin' Up! customers on news, specials, and incentives available through Stampin' Up! Secondly, I hope to post at least three creative items each week which will inspire you to take out your stamping supplies and be creative. Finally, by having a blog I will take time to stamp on a regular basis so I can maintain an up-to-date, useful tool for all of you. Be patient with me as I figure all of this out and feel free to provide suggestions for improving this blog.
