Stamp Sets Gone Single

You asked for it and Stampin' Up has listened.

Stampin' Up is trying out something new! We can now purchase single stamps from these select stamp sets: Word Play, Perfectly Penned, and Seasonal Sayings. The offer will be available now through January 2, 2013.


What you need to know:
  • These won't be sent to you in our typical cases or packaging; they'll be packaged in cello bags. If you'd like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four (item 119105).
  • This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
  • The stamps won't come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you'll need to buy a block separately if you don't already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyers.
  • There's no limit on how many pieces you can buy.
  • Remember that this is a pilot program, so take advantage of it while you can!
Check out the specific offering here... for the following three stamp sets!!

October Pals Blog Hop

 
 
 


Trick-or-Treat! It's time for some fun and festive crafting with the Stampin' Pretty Pals! You've probably hopped over from Naki Rager, I'm stop number 10 on the Pals Hop and I'm glad you hopped in! I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find great ideas for Stampin' Up! Halloween projects along with some tricks and treats along the way! Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop Line-up below and you'll be back on track.

My project today showcases the Window Frame framelits and the many ways they can be used.  I have paired two different sizes to make the Raspberry Ripple frame.  Stampin' Up punches and framelits are so versatile.  They can be layered in so many ways.
 
This month's blog hop is all about "tricks" or "treats".  I have chosen to share a "trick".  Post-It Notes are a "must have" stamping supply.  I have several different sizes and have recently added Post-It tape to my collection.
 
 
 
Use Post-It Notes to hold a framelit in place.
 

 
Or use them to mask off a portion of an image before inking.
 

 
Run right out and stock up!  You won't be disappointed. 
 
Card Recipe
 
Stamp Sets:  Pleasant Poppies, One in a Million
Paper:  Patio Party DSP, Raspberry Ripple, Whisper White
Ink:  Staz'On Black, Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Gumball Green

Paper Pal Arts Challenge


 
 

Are you ready for a perfect fall? This color challenge got me in the mood!  My card is a beautiful combination of More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso.  I have been using these colors on several projects lately. 
 
 
I recently began using a brayer to add ink to my texture folders.  It is just another way to add a twist to your cards.  You can place the paper in the inked folder and run it through the Big Shot for color and texture. My card today uses this technique.
Or just add color by placing the paper in the inked folder and press down with your hand to transfer the color to the paper. This method will leave color to match the design of the folder.  Remember the design on each side of the folder is different so you can get two different looks. I like find new ways to use my card making products.
 
Card Recipe
Stamp Sets:  Sweet Essentials
Paper:  More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Early Expresso, Very Vanilla, Festival of Prints Designer Paper, and Orchard Harvest Designer Paper.
Ink:  Early Expresso 
Tools and Accessories: Early Expresso ribbon(retired), Apothecary Accents, Woodgrain texture folder, Large Oval punch, 1 3/4" Circle punch and Googly Eyes.

Paper:  Early Expresso Core'dinations cardstock, Cajun Craze, Midnight Muse, Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla
Ink:  Early Expresso, Lucky Limeade, Cajun Craze,Midnight Muse

Here is the same card in a different color combination.  Don't forget to add a little something to the inside of the card too.
