Another Sneak Peek from the Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog -- All Dressed Up

One of the coolest things in the Stampin' Up! spring catalog is the All Dressed Up bundle.  The bundle includes the All Dressed Up stamp set along with the Dress Up framelits dies. There is also a coordinating Big Shot die that cuts and scores the card base along with the coordinating Dress Form Pop 'n Cuts die that makes a super-cute pop-up die.  Kinda reminds me of paper dolls!

Here's a photo that lists many of the possible uses for this bundle.

 I got an envelope in the mail this morning from Stampin' Up!  And guess what was inside...

 ...an invitation to the Managers' Reception at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Orlando! 

Managers' Reception is held during Stampin' Up!'s Leadership Conference.  And while most people are finishing last minute Christmas gifts, I'm designing cards for swaps!

RemARKable Blog Tour -- Affection Collection

Welcome to the RemARKable Stamp of the Month Blog Tour.  This month we're featuring projects using the stamp set Affection Collection.  You may have arrived here from Jackie Bottomley's blog.  What creative projects she put together!!!




This stamp set is one that I received at the Stampin' Up! Convention last summer.  I've used it a few times since then.  But I have to admit that it's not one that I would have purchased because it's just not my style.  This blog hop was a good exercise in stretching my creativity.

Here's what I came up with:

I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp onto the Floral District designer series paper using Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake ink.  Then I stamped the Love image on Very Vanilla, cut it out, then sponged it with Crumb Cake.  I added Large Pearls and some ribbon.  I layered that piece onto Crumb Cake, then adhered it to a Riding Hood Red card base.

I made another one using the same color combination.  This time I followed a sketch challenge, Freshly Made Sketches.

For this card, I inked up my Fancy Fan embossing folder with Crumb Cake ink, the transferred the folder design onto Crumb Cake card stock with a brayer.  This is a technique I learned while I was at convention last summer. I punch the Friend image using the Modern Label punch and adhered it to the Riding Hood Red image with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Up next on the tour is Deb Currier. Click on the image below to go to her blog.
