Another Washi Tape Card and the Label Love Stamp Set

On Saturday afternoon I had my monthly card class.  We had three new ladies join us our class.  We had lots of fun using some of the new products from the new catalogue.

Here is a card we made featuring washi tape and the new Label Love stamp set with the matching punch.   This is cased from Leonie Schroder. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Label Love

Cardstock: Whisper White, Strawberry Slush

Ink: Bermuda Bay

Other:  Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape, Bermuda Bay Twine (from the Tag a Bag Accessory Kit), Artisan Label Punch, Dimensionals, Adhesive

The washi tape is so quick and easy to use.  I have used the Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape for this card, but it also comes in another colour which is great for more masculine and not so bright projects.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day.

A Masculine Card

Masculine cards are always a bit of a challenge for me.  When I do make them, I try and stick to blues and browns and use things like brads and twine instead of gems and ribbon. 

Recently we had a masculine card swap with other Stampin' Up! demos.  This is one of the great things about being part of a wider team with other demos, we get to learn and share with each other.  I wasn't able to go to the training day due to my son's soccer on a Saturday morning, but I was able to make some swaps and have a friend take them along so I still got to take part.  I haven't received my swaps yet, but I am looking forward to seeing lots of great, new, creative ideas.

Here is the the card I made:

Supplies:

Stamp sets: Itty Bitty Banners

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso Core‘dinations

DSP: Parker’s Patterns DSP

Ink: Early Espresso

Other: Big Shot, Sanding Block, Woodgrain Embossing Folder, 1/8” Mini Brads, Early Espresso Twine, Bitty Banner Framelit, Dimensionals, Sticky Strip, Tombow Adhesive

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate your comments.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

A simple textured background

I had fun the other day using a friend's Simply Scored Scoring Tool.   I made some interesting patterns on card stock to create some textured backgrounds that I can use on cards.  I also used the diagonal plate to make some envelopes.  Now I would like to buy my own.  They can be used in so many ways.

Here is one of the cards I made using a line pattern in the background created using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool.  I am still learning, so if you look carefully enough, one of the spacings is actually a little wider.  Oops!  It is all about learning and having fun.  I will know to be more careful next time!  But I think it still looks okay. 

Supplies:

Card stock: Whisper White,Calypso Coral, Island Indigo

Stamps: Easy Events (for the Happy Birthday greeting), Language of Friendship

Ink: Black

Accessories: Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Scalloped edge punch, Twine,

DSP: In colours pattern paper

The current catalogue runs until the end of this month.  Some of the stamp sets and accessories will be retiring so Stampin' Up have a retired list so you know what will not be available from next month.  If there have been some things you have not got around to buying yet, check out these lists.  If it is retiring, now is your last chance to buy it.

A few other important pieces of information:

The Classic Ink Pads are being reconfigured. The ink is still the same (except for five colours that had to be reconfigured); The ink pad surface has been redesigned. They are changing from a felt pad to a foam one.  Better ink coverage means better stamped images! 

Here are some other changes:
1) 12x12 textured card stock will no longer be offered.  12x12 smooth card stock will only be available in single colours in select colours; colour collections will still be available.
2) Stampin' Up won't be selling individual markers in all the colours, so if you are missing a few colours in your collection, you can get those this month.
3) Some of the fabric collections are greatly discounted!

If you would like to make a purchase or have any further questions, please contact me at thepalmersangela@gmail.com  

By the way, I was very excited to see that one of my cards got picked for the "Weekly Picks" on the New Zealand Stampin' Up blog website.  A first for me - well I have only just started my blog and joined up!

Enjoy the rest of your week.
