Stamp Review Crew - Swirly Bird

January 1, 2017

Happy New Year and welcome to the Stamp Review Crew Swirly Bird Edition. I am so excited for this new year and the opportunity to stamp and further my craft. The stamp set the crew is focusing on this week is Swirly Bird. The card I am sharing today gives me a bright and fresh feeling ... the perfect way to describe 2017.

The yellow background was created by repeatedly stamping the swirly rose image to create a repeating pattern. Next I softened the background with a blender pen adding just a touch of a watercolor wash. I like the overall effect.

This card also features ALL THINGS THANKS, a fun new verse set from the Occasions mini catalog. I always have the need for a thank you card and the verse 'you are amazing' is the perfect sentiment to say thanks in a different way.

Thanks for visiting today. Next you'll be headed to the very talented Bronwyn Eastley.

Flurry of Wishes - WWYS95

December 19, 2016

What a great year!

Welcome to another week of What Will You Stamp. This is my last WWYS stamp challenge for the 2016 year. The challenge set this week is Flurry Of Wishes. This is a beautiful set that has a coordinating punch.

I created this card by first stamping random snowflakes onto watercolor paper and then heat embossing with white embossing powder. Then I created a watercolor wash using a blender pen and shades of Pool Party and Smokey Slate ink. I love the little pop of color that the Pop of Pink Washi tape adds to this card,

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to stop by the WWYS blog to see more awesome projects using this set. If you happen to have this stamp set, make a project and play along with us!

Stamp Review Crew - Christmas Pines

December 4, 2016

Hello and welcome to my blog and to the Stamp Review Crew Christmas Pines blog hop. Yippee! This is my first hop with the Stamp Review Crew and I am so excited you are here.

A little about me ... I am an avid paper crafter and designer. I feel super lucky to work in the crafting industry and to share my love of all things stamps & paper. I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and have the great priviledge to be affiliated with SU since 2002.

So what is the Stamp Review Crew? We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world that get together to blog hop on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month. We create a project based on a single stamp set. Let me tell you, I am in good company. These stampers are seriously amazing! The hop aims to travel in a circular fashion, but if you get lost along the way, just click on the banner above to take you to the main SRC page.

Today's hop is all about the Christmas Pines stamp set. This is a LARGE holiday set with tons of fun pieces that coordinate and layer. This set also has coordinating tools; an embossing folder and thinlets. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES.

The large NOEL and the pine boughs are what first drew me to this product bundle. I'm a sucker for large stamp words. I stamped the NOEL in Dapper Denim on Whisper White. Lately I'm crazy for the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, so of course I had to use it again on this card. I hand cut little yellow bells come from the Presents and Pinecones designer series paper. I love how wintery this card feels.

Thanks for visiting today. Next you'll be headed to the very talented Wendy Weixler. Enjoy and stop back often for more paper crafting love.
