Marble Background Stamp

The new catalog features a few fun new Background Stamps, the one featured on this card usea the Marbeled stamp.  When using this background stamp, I inked the stamp with 2 colors and stamped it on white cardstock that already had the Celebrate Embossed using the Celebrations Duo Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

This Little Piggy

Wow, when looking through the new catalog, this set was my first MUST HAVE! How cute is This Little Piggy?  A set that has some fun sayings, and the images are perfect!  I just love adding some watercolors to create the look of mud, because when are pigs actually clean?

Heartland

What a fun new set, like a drive in the coutryside!  Having a background in Agriculture and relatives still working on a farm, this a set that will be great for all kinds of cards!  This is a set with many details, but no need to be exact when a little watercoloring adds exactly what you need without a lot of coloring!

Eastern Beauty Bundle Part 1

 I have been away from my blog and stamps for a bit lately, as my other job had taken over more of my time then expected this spring/summer.  Sorry for the lag in posts, but I spent a few hours celebrating the 4th of July stamping!  I really needed the time to be creative, and I need to force myself to get there more often.

The New Catalog was out June 1, and there is so much to share.  The Eastern Beauty Bundle is not my normal style, but has so many possibilities, that I had to have it.  I will start with a few below that show how fun the Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies are.  Unlike most of the dies Stampin' Up! sells, these use the reverse image, so you don't get a design that you add to a card, it creates the design in the cardstock.  It took me a few tries to see what each die would cutout, but then it was amazing!
