Using Stampin’ Markers to Ink Stamps with Beauty Abounds Stamp Set + Video Tutorial!

Hello Paper Crafting Friends ~ welcome back to my corner of the world.

Time for another stampin’ technique ~ today I am going to be using a Stampin Marker to ink up one of the stamps on my card.  This is great if you don’t have the stamp pad in the color you want to use but you do have the marker.

I have paired the Beauty Abounds stamp set with Mint Macaron and Purple Posy – I don’t have the Purple Posy ink pad yet but I do have the marker.  This stamp set has a really beautiful, swirly, stem of flowers and leaves – a perfect focal point for my card.

Pressed Petals Washi Tape Birthday

Hello Paper Crafting Friends ~ welcome back to my corner of the world.

Today would have been my Mum’s 88th birthday so this  card is for her.  No stampin’ – I just used  my die cutting machine, a couple of die sets and an embossing folder.

The focal point  is made with the Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape, there are two rolls in this pack, one a traditional tape in Soft Suede and Very Vanilla, the second has about 100 individual peel-and-stick flower petals allowing you to create beautiful flowers.

Beautiful Friendship with a Neutral Palette

Hello Paper Crafting Friends ~ welcome back to my corner of the world.

I have often shared that my ribbon drawer is the starting point for many of my card designs, the Woven Threads Trim is one of the new ribbons in the 2019 – 2020 Annual Stampin’ UP! catalog and is in Sahara Sand – which is one of the Neutrals in the SU color family.

The Beautiful Friendship Stamp set allows you to build up such a pretty floral display as well as 4 very useful greetings, I chose to use the birthday one on this card, the lovely smooth, silky woven threads trim works just beautifully with it.

Happy Tails ~ Just Fur You Card

Hello Paper Crafting Friends ~ welcome back to my corner of the world.

I am a dog person – my puppies, Miss Daisy Mae and CiCi are always close by, sometimes you might hear them when I am making a video ~ one of them usually manages to let out a little ‘woof’ or scratch at the study  door in the middle of recording 🙂

So The Happy Tails Stamp Set with the coordinating Dog Builder Punch is a great set for the fellow dog lovers out there.  There are some cute greetings as well, I have used the ‘Just fur You’ one, I think the ‘Keep Calm and Wag On’ will be useful as well as “So sorry for your Loss’ for those sad times when a beloved pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge.
