TSSC 355 - Butterfly Basics

Here's my design team sample for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge. I used the Stampin' Up! set, Butterfly Basics, which is in the Occasions Catalog. There are coordinating framelits, which are available with the stamp set as a bundle. Although the framelits are really cool, I didn't use them on this card because the stamp I chose matches the Bitty Butterfly punch.

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Butterfly Basics

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi, Very Vanilla

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Wild Wasabi

Punches: Bitty Butterfly, Scallop Tag Topper

Big Shot: Square Lattice Embossing Folder

Here's this week's sketch. Use it to inspire you!

What really makes this set is that there are sayings that are appropriate for each image. In fact, that's what sold me on this set. Here's the inside of the card:

Love Cards

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd share a couple of love cards. The stamps are from the photopolymer set, Countless Sayings 1. Don't look for the set in your catalog, though. It's only available online, while supplies last. The washi tape is retired, but Beach House has a roll of Real Red washi tape which would look cute.

I entered these cards in the Late Night Stampers February Challenge. The theme is Valentines/Hearts/Love.

TSSC 353 - Countless Sayings 1

Here's my design team sample for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge. I used the Stampin' Up! set, Countless Sayings 1. This is one of the sets that is only available online. These stamps used to have their own category, but now they are interspersed in the Photopolymer Stamp category. I'll be posting more cards made with this set later in the week.

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Countless Sayings 1, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Cardstock: Real Red, Early Espresso, Whisper White

Ink: Early Espresso

Punch: Hearts Border Punch, Heart Punch

Here's this week's sketch. As you can see, I rotated it for my card.

TSSC 352 - Sheltering Tree, Winter Version

I really love the new Stampin' Up! set Sheltering Tree from the Occasions Catalog! It was the first set I used from my recent splurge (there's a LOT of good stuff in that catalog!) and here I am already using it on a 2nd TSSC card. You can see the other one (a Spring version) here.

Here's my design team sample for this week:

SAB Product of the Week - Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP

Get this beautiful Specialty DSP FREE with $50 purchase (before shipping and tax) through March 31, 2015! Shop here. Current Hostess Code: JKWWAVAW

Last week at Stamp Club I showed the Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP. I think the white on white is beautiful for elegant projects, like wedding cards or favors. Then I tried to explain how you could color the DSP and when you wipe off the ink, the glossy parts are white again. My explanation wasn't very clear, so I was thrilled when I saw this post on the Stampin' Up! blog:

Sale-A-Bration Product of the Week-Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper
