Ray of Light - Stamp Review Crew

June 19, 2022

Hello friends! Welcome to the Ray of Light Edition of Stamp Review Crew. The moment I saw this background stop i knew I needed to add it to my collection. I love the design and can see it used with so many sets. I’ve taken a literal approach and paired it with the Lighthouse Point bundle. I love the the bright rays are all beaming from the lighthouse. I stamp the image in Versamark on Daffodil Delight and then heat set with clear emboss powder together that tone on tone and raised ink effect

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of paper crafters that get together to feature and review a single Stampin’ Up! stamp set on the first and third Monday of each month. All of our previous stamp set reviews are archived. Click here to see all of the hops!

Ready for more inspiration using this stamp set? Next up is Holly. Be sure to go through the hop to see what ALL my talented friends have created using this set. Thanks in advance for taking the time to comment. I love to hear from you.

Global Design Project - GDP346 Sketch challenge using Full of Love

June 6, 2022

The Full of Love stamp set is so darling and super fun to color. I’ve stamped the large flower cluster image in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using Stampin’ Blends. I’ve done the same with the small flowers. All have been cut (using my brother scan n cut machine) and arranged on the card flowing the sketch. The background has a hint of Pool Party Blended onto the white cardstock with a blending brush. Small flowers have been stamped onto the blended background in versamark and heat set using white emboss powder.

One color wonder - I stamped the little birdie image on coldpress watercolor paper in Golden Glow ink and then pulled that color through the images with a water brush. I love easy technique to quickly add color. Bird image & sentiment are from the Cutest Crew stamp set. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #cutestcrew

Golden Glow. I'm going to try to create a series of one color cards using the new Stampin' Up! InColors. Today I'm showcasing Golden Glow. This new color is a soft warm light gold. It is a calming color and I think it is very a nice addition to the yellows. Those cute bird images are from the 'Cutest Crew' stamp set. Need a reason to make?

Punches for the win. I needed a graduation card so I used two punches from Stampin’ Up! To create the graduation cap. The cap tassle is created using baker’s twine. Modern Oval & Tailored Tag punch. #useyourstash #graduationcard #cardmakingreels
It's been weeks since I created a card and it felt good to sit down and make something. It's graduation season and cards are needed!  I pulled together a few punches and the Bordered in Beauty bundle to create. This card works for two challenges this
