Stamp Club Cards, Part 2

Hello!

I'm back again today with the second of our recent Stamp Club cards using the Stamparatus. I love stamping and painting on watercolor paper. The thing I love about the Stamparatus is you can stamp your image as many times as you want to get your image as dark as you want. When using water, make sure you use Stazon ink. Here is the card.

I used Coastal Cabana (yay for its return!!!) and Lemon Lime Twist inks for the butterfly. It's from the stamp set Beautiful Day and I just love it! I mounted my watercolored panel onto a Lemon Lime Twist card base. I accented it with the pearlized twine and mini paper clip from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit.

A simple but striking card!

Don't forget you can get a FREE ink pad of your choice with your $50 order using June's Hostess Code. After you place your order, please contact me telling me what color you'd like me to send you!

Thanks for visiting me today and remember, you can't have a great day if you don't create a great day!

Stamp Club cards, Part 1

Hello!

I'm enjoying an unusually cool early summer morning today. It's heavenly! While I sit here feeling the cool breeze, I thought I'd share one of the cards we made for Stamp Club recently. I showed my ladies how awesome the Stamparatus is. This card uses the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set which is one of my favorites! For this card I showed my friends the Hinge Technique. They were wowed at how easy exact placement could be!

Here's a video from Stampin' Up! showing how the hinge technique works. 

To take the card even one step further, we used the Wink of Stella pen to bring the candle flames to life.

Sadly, the Dapper Denim ink and ribbon are retired now but there are plenty of good replacements in the new Annual Catalog!

If you haven't gotten your hands on this amazing tool, you can purchase it through my online store! Even if you have another placement tool, the Stamparatus has so many other cool features that aren't found elsewhere that you HAVE to have it!

For the month of June, for every $50 you spend in my online store, you'll get to choose an ink pad for free! (excludes local orders placed at my upcoming New Catalog Open House on June 30). There are lots of new colors to add to your collection so you'll definitely want to take advantage of this deal! NOTE: Make sure you use the current month's Hostess Code to get your free ink pad.

I hope you're enjoying your summer so far and that you make some time to get your fingers inky!

Thanks for visiting and remember to CREATE a great day for you and someone else!
