Love Stories

I am not sure how I passed this stamp set by in the million times I have gone through the catalog in the past, but I absolutely love the images that this set creates. They are so detailed and as the stamp set is called, "elegant".

There are very few supplies used on this card - one ink color, two card stock colors, one stamp set and some specialty paper - yet I love the way it turned out. 

Supplies:

Elegantly Said

Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow card stock

Mossy Meadow ink

Galvanized Metallic Paper 

Elegance is the word—and the image—with the Elegantly Said Stamp Set. The elegant script-styled greetings pair beautifully with the stately floral, flourish, and border images. However you mix and match them, these stamps will bring grace to your creations. This stamp set is also available in French.

* 11 cling stamps
* Suggested clear blocks (sold separately): b, c, e, i

Cling stamps from Stampin’ Up!
* Are premium rubber stamps.
* Have deeply etched images for excellent detail.
* Are precut so you don’t have to trim them.
* Cling to clear blocks without slipping.
* Are repositionable—temporarily mount on clear blocks to stamp, then remove to store.
* Save space—one set of blocks (sold separately) works for all your cling and photopolymer stamps.
* Have images on the spine of the case for easy storage and quick reference.

Pitcher of Flowers

This is another of the cards I created for a customer using pinks and grays...I built the color scheme from the All My Love designer series paper collection. For my stamped image, I went with the Country Home stamp set.

The pitcher and flowers are colored with Stampin' Blends and I added a piece of Galvanized metallic paper that was embossed with the Tin Tile dynamic impressions folder in between the designer series paper and the stamped image layer.

Supplies:

Country Home

Memento Black ink

Stampin' Blends

Whisper White, Lovely Lipstick card stock

Galvanized metallic paper

Classic Birthday

Here is another sample using the Geared up Garage stamp set and coordinating thinlits and designer series paper.  This time I colored the car in with Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends and I again used the Happy Birthday stamp from the Piece of Cake stamp set.

The different patterns of designer series paper from the Classic garage collection were scraps I had leftover from other projects and I decided to use several different ones in the background.  I also added a piece of Galvanized paper that was embossed with the Corrugated dynamic impressions folder to add a little texture.

Geared up Garage, Piece of Cake

First Day of School

About a week ago my kids had their first day of school, summer vacation went much too quickly for them this year.  As I have done the last several years, I made some signs to showcase the year they are starting in school.

I chose to use the Share What You Love specialty designer series paper for all of the backgrounds and matted it on Basic Black card stock.

For Wyatt's I added an accent of Galvanized metallic paper that was embossed with the Tin Tile dynamic folder and then I punched the end with the banner triple punch.

On Maddie's I used some Nature's twine in Grapefruit Grove...

And on Hunter's I used some random retired buttons.  

Supplies:

Whisper White, Basic Black card stock

Darling Label

Today I have used the sneak peek Galvanized metallic paper that I shared with you yesterday from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  In this post, I also have a couple other upcoming items for you...Frosted Floral specialty designer series paper and the Tin Tile dynamic impressions folder.

The specialty paper is shimmery and the patterns and colors are very pretty.  The sentiments on all of these cards are from the Darling Label punch box and are punched out with the one that comes in the box and layered over the Everyday label punch.

The Tin Tile dynamic folder really looks neat with the galvanized metallic paper!  

A few of the cards also use some metallic adhesive pearls for accents.

One Wild Ride

I have been looking at this stamp set for awhile for masculine cards and always decided to wait, but last month my husband decided it was time for a motorcycle again along with his brother so I figured now was the time to get the set.  

The accent on the side is a sneak peek for you from the Holiday catalog - galvanized metallic paper.  I embossed it with the Tufted dynamic impression folder...

The shield is cut out with a paper snips...
