Distinktive Stamps

Distinktive Stamps show great detail and look beautiful on all projects.  

1. Distinktive stamps give you photo-realistic images with just one stamp. They have a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step.
2. These stamps are available only from Stampin’ Up! and are made using a patent-pending process.
3. Distinktive stamps are available in red rubber and photopolymer; Paper Pumpkin’s April kit includes photopolymer stamps.
4. Shop Distinktive stamps in the online store by searching “Distinktive,” or look for the Distinktive icon in Stampin’ Up! catalogs.

This video explains a little about them and shows you some examples.  In April, the Paper Pumpkin kit will showcase these stamps as well!  Make sure to get yours coming!  

Butterfly Serenade

I had some Rectangle stitched framelits die cuts laying around after I made some cards using the reverse pieces and put together this one for Mother's Day (a little early I know!).  For the flower image I used the Southern Serenade stamp set with Basic Gray and Sweet Sugarplum ink.  The sentiment is from the Tea Together stamp set and is punched with the 1" square and postage stamp for matting.

The background is embossed with the Dot to Dot folder and I added some embellishments from the February Paper Pumpkin kit and some Sale-a-bration wooden butterfly embellishments as well.

Tea Together, Southern Serenade

Basic Gray, Sweet Sugarplum ink

Gray Granite, Pool Party, Whisper White card stock

So Glad

In just a few days I get to head to a weekend retreat and I am really excited to be able to have some fun with friends before the busy spring shipping and planting season begins.  I usually put together a little something to put on everyone's table for the weekend and this time I decided on these little treat holders that are made using 6" x 6" designer series paper and a few quick folds.  

I also used the Part of My Story (SAB 2019) stamp set because I thought it was an appropriate sentiment for the friends it will go to!

Painted Sympathy

A couple of my favorite Sale-a-bration items are the Painted Seasons bundle and the Lasting Lily stamp set.  For the sympathy cards I am sharing with you today, I have combined them and created a couple different versions using the same focus piece.

I stamped the background of the card base and the sentiment layer with Petal Pink flowers and added some leaves in Call Me Clover on the sentiment layer.  For the sentiment, I used two different stamps in the Lasting Lily set.  On one card, I added some Pool Party card stock embossed with the Tin Tile folder and on the other I used some Wood Textures designer series paper along with the Painted Seasons paper.

Lasting Lily (SAB 2019), Painted Seasons (SAB 2019)

Adorned Palette

I put together several different products to create this wedding card, most of which were found in my scrap container and some of which are retired but still fun to use!  I began with the Stitched Seasons framelits for my sentiment layer and mat.  

Then, I added a piece of Joyous Noel specialty paper behind the layers.  Lastly I used the Sale-a-bration stamp set called All Adorned in the background with Soft Suede and Crumb Cake ink creating the layers.
