25th Anniversary Blog Tour - Best of Birthdays

Welcome to the RemARKable 25 Years with Stampin' Up! Blog Tour!  You may have arrived here from Lee Bradford's blog.  What a great job she did with her projects!

When Stampin' Up! announced at the Leadership Conference about the "Best of 25 Years" stamp sets, I got really excited!  As part of their 25-year anniversary celebration, they're bringing back some favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release-one set per month-during 2013. Along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image!

January's theme is "Best of Birthdays."  I've made three projects with this stamp set.  Here's the first one:

I used one of the shapes from the Apothecary Framelits to create a layered look.  See here how I did it.

Here's the second one:

This last one is a copy of one that we saw demonstrated at Leadership.  I used it in my stamp clubs this month.  Our theme for the month was "tools."  I changed things up a bit from the original card and used my Color Spritzer tool to add some splashes of Garden Green.

Here's a closer look.

 

I'll be glad to answer any questions about my projects.  Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.  Next up is the uber-talented Tamra Davis of http://www.thecardladies.com/.  Click on her link or on the image below to see her creations:

Leadership CASE

Good afternoon.  Here is a card that I made for one of my club members who recently had surgery.  It is a card inspired by a sample I saw at Leadership.  I switched things up a bit including the addition of some splashes of Gumball Green with the Color Spritzer tool. I included some of the Silver Glimmer paper that I got at Leadership.

Some of us are getting ready to watch the Superbowl.  Personally, I watch it for the commercials. Why can't commercials be as entertaining during other television shows?

Stamps: Everything Eleanor, Perfectly Penned
Paper: Gumball Green Whisper White, Brights Patterned designer series paper, Silver Glimmer Paper
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Gumball Green, Primrose Petals, Gumball Green marker
Accessories: Big Shot, Apothecary Accents framelits, Color Spritzer Tool, Stampin' Dimensionals

Happy Stamping!

Thank you - Day 6 - Everything Eleanor

As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have Everything Eleanor.  Her images are just gorgeous.  The flourish reminds me a bit of the one that retired from Baroque Motifs.  This is the first card that I made using the set.  It's another clean and simple one:

I used the new firm foam ink pads to create this card.  All areas of the flourish inked up so easily with a light touch.  These new ink pads may take a little getting used to.  But once you try them, you will LOVE them!

There are so many more possibilities Everything Eleanor has to offer.  I'll share some ideas for you from this set in some upcoming posts.

Stamps: Everything Eleanor, Perfectly Penned
