Many Mittens Framelits

Comments: 0

You know that saying, “Warm hands, warm heart”?  That’s what I think of when I look at this card featuring the Many Mittens Framelits Dies and the Cable Knit Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Many Mittens Framelits, Hearts Come Home stamp set, Stampin' Studio

I love the depth of texture on the Whisper White cardstock created with the Cable Knit Embossing Folder.  These detailed mittens are very easy to make; 2 white mittens cut out with the mitten outline and 2 red mittens cut out with the detailed stitching.  Then all I had to do was layer the mittens on top of one another and attache the Quilted Christmas Ribbon to the backs of the mittens.  The sweet sentiment from the Hearts Come Home stamp set was colored directly on the rubber with Stampin’ Write Markers before stamping it on the banner.

Introducing the Southern Serenade stamp set!

Comments: 0

Do you know how exciting it is to get a call from Stampin’ Up! asking you to give a presentation featuring a brand new stamp set from the Occasions catalog at On Stage Live in Salt Lake City?  Well, let me tell you, it was pretty exciting…and I was even more excited a few weeks later when I got my first look at the stamp set I was asked to present…the Southern Serenade stamp set.

Stampin' Up!, Southern Serenade stamp set, Occasions Catalog 2018, Stampin' Studio

 The beautiful Southern Serenade stamp set comes in clear or wood mount sets feature 8 stunning images and sentiments.  It’s what I call a “Do Everything” stamp set, because there are so many things you can do with it.  The sentiments are perfect for some of most popular reasons to send cards, like birthdays and thank you’s.  The images are great for many different techniques, and I’ll be sharing the techniques and cards I presented over the next few days.  This fabulous stamp set will be one of the many offerings in the Occasions catalog which goes live on January 3rd.

Let’s take a closer look

I stamped the floral image in Basic Black ink on the Wood Texture Designer Series Paper and water colored it in with my Aqua Painter and Rich Razzleberry  and Old Olive Ink.  Generally we only think of water coloring on Water Color Paper, or Shimmery White Card Stock or Whisper White and Very Vanilla, but water coloring on Designer Paper gives a great look.  Next I stamped the lacy image around the edges of the designer paper in Crumb Cake ink.  I love the look of lace and wood together.  Finally I added a row of Rich Razzleberry cardstock, Very Vanilla Lace Trim, and Copper Trim just below the stamped image and finished it off with a Linen Thread double bow.
