When I first saw this set, I was not going to buy it. But my good friend talked me into it and I bought it not knowing how I was going to use it. But I have used this stamp set over and over and over again. I LOVE it! I used it for a Stamp A Stack card, a Technique Class card, Open House card, Thank you card, and working on my swamps for convention and I am using that set for one of my swaps. Boy am I glad I bought this set!
This is the Thank You card that I made for my customers this month. Isn't the octopus cute? If you look very closely, you will see the waves have an Ombre look to them. That was made using one color of marker believe it or not. I created that look by coloring one chevron line and stamping it off. Then I colored the next chevron line and stamped it off. Finally I colored the last chevron line and stamped the image. That is how you achieve the Ombre effect. Neat huh?
The supplies that I used for this card are:
STAMP SETS: Sea Street, Something to Say
PAPER: Night of Navy, Real Red, Whisper White
INK: Night of Navy, Basic Gray
ACCESSORIES: Pool Party Marker
I decided to use a nautical look to my June Thank You Notes because people are starting to go to the beach and pool. I thought it looked very summery. I think my customers will like this little notes.
The kids are here already because 2 stayed over night last. Grandpop and the oldest grandson slept under the stars last night! They are all fed and now I am going to go out for my walk. While I am walking this morning, I will be thinking of more ideas of what to do with this versatile set. Enjoy the day!
Every month I make a thank you card for my customers who made a purchase. It is always a quick and simple card usually showcasing new SU products. This card uses my favorite colors from the 2013-15 In Colors, Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe. I used my favorite stamp set from the Occasions Catalog, "Happy Watercolor ".
The supplies that I used for this were:
STAMP SET: Happy Watercolor
PAPER: Daffodil Delight, Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White
INK: Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Black Stazon
ACCESSORIES: None
I know this card is not spectacular but it is cute and easy to do especially if you need a lot thank you notes. The splotches of color under the black outline flower is actually a stamp! I love the effect of a brush stroke it gives to the card. I think that one piece is my favorite piece of the whole set. What a great way to add a bit of pizazz to a card!
I am back to babysitting after we have been hit with a lot of snow in the North East. I could not get out for 2 days until a friend came and plowed my drive way. Enjoy the day!
I had one good day last week when I was able to catch up on my stamping. So I stamped and stamped and stamped. While I was on a roll, I remembered I needed to get my Thank you notes for September done. So I decided to use the new "Magnificent Maple" single stamp which can be found in the Holiday Catalog. I also decided to use the "Glorious Grunge" stamp set for the background on the leaf. The supplies that I used for this mini card were:
STAMP SETS: Glorious Grunge, Magnificent Maple
PAPER: Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, Whisper White
INK: Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake
ACCESSORIES: Daffodil Delight 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, 2-1/2" Circle Punch
First I used the Glorious Grunge for the texture behind the leaf. And then I used the Rock and Roll Technique to create a multi-colored leaf. The only thing I regret is that I did not use the spatter stamp from the Glorious Grunge set and stamp that onto the Soft Suede card stock. I think it would have added more depth to the card.
Well I have the little guy today so I will not get that much done. But I will have a new card tomorrow to show you. Enjoy the day!
I already told you the New Year's Resolutions that I made about my business. One of them was to make Thank You Notes for my customers when they made a purchase. This is a pic of the note cards that I made for the month of July. Another very simple and quick card to make. These are the supplies that I used for this project:
STAMP SET: Wildflower Meadow
PAPER: Whisper White, 2013-15 In Colors
INK: 2013-15 In Colors
ACCESSORIES: Rhinestone Jewels
I cut the card stock 3" x 6" and fold the cardstock on half for the base. These would be perfect a perfect size to use as gift tags also.
Well I am on my way to Susan's to work on our Christmas in July Event. I will have more information about that event tomorrow. Enjoy the day!
