Can you believe that this DSP I just ordered. What was I thinking? It should have been one of my first. It is so beautiful! The catalog just does not do justice to our beautiful papers. When I saw it used so much at convention I just knew I had to order it as soon as I got home and I did.
A few days ago I posted a video on how to make this little tent. It is so much fun to make and very easy. Watch the video and if you have any problems, just contact me and I will walk you through it. I used Gorgeous grunge stamp set to create the digital camo look on the tent, but you can use anything to decorate it. I just thought this pattern would be good for girls as well as boys.
This set is called “Settin’ Sail” and I love it. Goes great with the “By the Tide” and “By the Seashore” sets, not to mention the gorgeous DSP papers that we have this year. I used the Chevron EF for the background. Our polymer stamps (unlike many other brands) give a really nice image. What I like about them is the ability to line up small letters or sentiments in small areas as noted in the sample below (Anchors Away and Thanks, Mate!).
Both of these cards I created for organized swaps at convention. The first one I did for Lyssa’s Convention Quality Swap and the second was for a Very Vintage swap. I entered twice for the Very Vintage swap. I guess you know why. I got some lovely swaps in return that I will gladly share with y’all next time you come over to stamp.
I took these pictures from the boards at convention so I apologize for not so clear photos. I will add the 3 D items tomorrow but again they are taken from the boards also. I was not very smart about my entries for this contest. Except for the scrap book pages, I forgot to take pictures of the other items before I sent them off to SU. Won’t do that again. AND YES, I will enter next year.
This is a new embossing folder that will be in the new Holiday mini that will be released on August 1st. You should be getting a copy of this in your snail mailbox by the end of the month. Also, please note the new chevron punch, oh yeah…….totally awesome right?
BTW, Mo an I are leaving for Salt Lake City Today. We will return with lots of cool stuff to share with y’all!
Do you like the new Crisp Cantelope in-color? I used it here with Soft Suede and reallly like how this card turned out. The Sentiment and stamp is from the hostess set Morning Meadow which you can get by having a hostess party of $150. Contact ME to find out more.
I think it is hard to tell but the card stock that I used for the base is our new Smokey Slate. I also used it in the sentiment and in the flower embellishment. For some reason my camera hasn’t been taking very good pictures lately. Or maybe it’s the photographer (me) that doesn’t know how to use it. LOL
Love this stamp set, it is on page (82) in the new catalog.
