Tips and Tricks

Stamp Set: Stampin’ Up! is offering so many great balloons to choose from.  I think the cutting out with the framelits or thinlits adds so much to the cards ocan make your projects.

  • Let Me Up

Lift Me Up Wood-Mount Bundle

Color:  Let Me Up is no exception because with the thinlit die you can make your balloons different colors within the balloon. You can keep it in the same color family like I did or make it more like a rainbow. I used three different blues. Then just a touch of silver for some sparkle to the clouds.

  • Night of Navy
  • Pacific Point
  • Soft Sky

 

Ink: I want to keep it with the same color family… so I used Night of Navy.

  • Night of Navy

Paper:  With the exception of the Whisper White, it was just matter of  using the same colors as the balloon.  The darker color (Night of Navy) for the balloon base.  I chose to let the lightest color show the most which was Soft Sky.

  • Night of Navy
  • Soft Sky
  • Pacific Point

Designer Series:  I card needed a little dazzle and the perfect place for the dazzle was the clouds.

  • Glimmer Paper – Silver

Bundle:  With the Occasions Catalog, now is the perfect time to get the Lift Me Up as a bundle because you save 10%.  Think all the diffrerent birthday, thinking of you, and get well cards you can make with this set because this not just a birthday stamp set. There are sentiments on this stamp set that will work for different occasions. In fact, use this design and change the greeting.

  • Up and Away Thinlits Dies

What Stamp Are You Drawn To?

Stampin’ Up! has so many different stamps to choose from, but we are all drawn to certain stamps.  Some of you want the flowers and others it is the images like the cats, chicks, dogs, etc and I know it is hard to choose a favorite. I love them all, but for some unknown reason I fell in love with the lighthouse. Why I don’t know. Maybe it is the history of them and lives they effect.   Anyway Stampin’ Up! came out with High Tide and it has wonderful sentiment to go with your lighthouse. So let this stamp be another light in your Stampin’ Up! collection. I know you are going to find many ways to use it.  In fact, I did a card without the lighthouse.  You will find that card on my Facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/stampinpinkrose/photos/a.835306279904546.1073741828.620259814742528/1031311033637402/?type=3&theater

This card was cased from  craft-somniaMomma and changed a little of it. For example I used the woodgrain embossing folder and colored the folder with Early Espresso. Mine became a Thank You card and not a birthday card.  It seems when we stamp that we always end up with our own spin which is a great.  thing.  Afterall, the idea of making cards is to personalize it. Remmeber you don’t need to make major changes to the card. Here is hers and below that is mine.
