Saipan Stamper

I love stamping with friends and every week I'm lucky enough to get together with a very few stampers to chat and enjoy a morning beverage/snack at our local coffee shop.  Last week I made SIX cards!  Yes, while eating and chatting and stamping in less than two hours. I made them all with the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set which has 23 images, AMAZING die cuts and a coordinating 3D embossing folder.  I didn't even stamp much for these cards. . .I just used ONE die cutting and ONE embossing folder for a simple and elegant look. Let me know how you like the cards and how I did with my first blog video!

  Are you enjoying Stampin' Up!'s Saleabration??  I am loving it!  This card uses TWO FREE PRODUCTS (Darling Donkeys & Approaching Perfection stamp sets), both only available until February 28.  I chose these sets for  StampingPals monthly challenge (February 2021) which is to use my favorite technique.   So what's the technique?  Using the fabulous new blending brushes from SU!  They are SO easy to use and the blending is more consistent and flawless with these brushes.  They come in a set of three and can be cleaned and reused to your heart's content. This stamping is as simple as I can manage.  I love layers and DSP and ribbons but I ditched all of that for this simple design.  The base is thick white cardstock.  I used the blending brush with Bermuda Bay ink to make the hazy cloud around the donkey.  The donkey is colored with Blends and adhered with dimensionals.  The saying is from the fun Approaching P...

  Happy New Year!!!  Wishing us all a happier, safer 2021! The StampingPals monthly challenges continue with #11 (Color Challenge using Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizazz and Balmy Blue - see below for sketch). I'm happy to provide a sneak peek into the new Mini Catalog which will go live on www.stampingup.com on January 5th.  I love new products and the Pretty Perennials bundle is just amazing.  I adore the new "happy" stamp in this large beautiful font. . .and we certainly need to start the new year with some happy.  I also used the brick embossing folder for the background and a small pearl in the flower center to make the final touch. I hope you love this card, and that you'll pop on over to  www.stampingpals.com and see what the other stampers have created for this month!  We'd love for you to join us in these challenges.  It's easy and a great way to get your creative flow moving forward.

  For the December StampingPals Challenge #10 (Sketch Challenge - see below for sketch), I was playing with some soon-to-be-released products that I pre-ordered with early access as a perk of attending Stampin' Up!'s On Stage Virtual Event.  What a great bonus for being a demonstrator!! You'll love the new Many Messages stamp set and the Dandy Cut Laser Paper that will be available in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog.  I used one 6" x 6" sheet of DSP from the Flowers For Every Season paper pack (#152486) cut in half to 3" x 6".  One piece was used on the flap of the envelope and one on the card base for a perfectly coordinated surprise that will be mailed to some lucky recipient.
