This is the seventh of my videos on techniques using the Stamparatus and it features using the large background stamps particularly the Sheet Music Background Stamp.
The Stamparatus is Stampin’ UP!’s latest tool and an absolute must have for all stampers. It helps you perfectly align your stamp images, stamp multiples of the same project quickly and accurately and gets complete ink coverage – ‘cos you can do a ‘do-over’ as my video today will show.
The Graceful Garden Stamp Set is perfect for making a really peaceful and elegant card. The ‘for you’ sentiment can be used for just about any occasion, birthday, anniversary, thank you, thinking of you, or simply ‘just because’
I have paired the stamp set with Mint Macaron and Sahara Sand which are peaceful colors as well and then a scattering of Basic Jewel Pearls to give even more of an elegant touch.
I have been using Vellum Card quite a bit in my projects recently and I wanted to show how it can be stamped on and used as an embellishment as well as a layer. As so often happens when I am creating I ‘lost’ something on my workbench (of course it was right under my nose!) but I spent a few minutes searching for it and came across my ‘Wink of Stella‘ ~ now that is something that I have not used for some time.
Along with the Pop of Petals Stamp set, I used both of these beauties to create today’s card. If you scroll down a little way you will also see the video showing how I used the Wink of Stella on the Vellum.
Every year Stampin’ UP! introduces 5 new colors that are available for 2 years, at the end of this time, the IN-Colors as they are known, are retired, Coastal Cabana was one of those colors. Earlier this year Stampin’ UP! revamped some of it color families and thrill of thrills Coastal Cabana reappeared as a new core color in the Brights family. I have used it a lot in the last few months, if you check out my last post I used it for a scrapbook page.
I used Abstract Impressions on todays’ card and paired Coastal Cabana with Pool Party – a perfect combination in my mind!
This is the sixth of my videos on techniques using the Stamparatus and it features repeat stamping using the Eastern Beauty Stamp Set.

Last week was my eldest nephew’s birthday, he is now in his early 30’s and lives in the UK – I find it hard to make cards for the fella’s in my life but the Rooted in Nature stamp set gives me a great choice of ‘suitable for a guy’ images and words without being ‘too sappy’!
I used a masking technique to create the card along with my Sponge Brayer to apply the ink ‘ombre’ style.
Tomorrow – September 5th, the 2018 Holiday Catalog goes live! I have shared a stamp set or two and today I am giving you a sneak peak at another new tool that Stampin’ UP! has introduced….. the ‘Take Your Pick” ~ a multipurpose pick up and precision tool that has a putty tip to pick up sequins and beads, a paper piercer, mini spatula, perfect for picking up and placing pearls and rhinestones and a small and large stylus which can be used for scoring your card or softening or cupping your card to create a 3D effect.
Last month I created a guy version of the Never Ending card for the Ink and Share Blog Hop, click here to see that. I am fascinated by the way this card works and went on to make a couple more versions in more feminine colors using the Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set along with the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper.
I am sharing two versions of the same card, made exactly the same accept one version uses Petal Pink card and the other Blackberry Bliss card.
This is the fifth of my videos on techniques using the Stamparatus and it features 2 step Stampin’….. and a sneak peak of the Wishing You Well Stamp Set which is in the ‘soon-to-be-released’ 2018 Holiday Catalog. (if you don’t have a copy and would like one comment below and I will get back to you!)
