Guy Greetings - No One Else Could Fill Your Shoes

I am so happy this set was carried over from the Occasions catalog! I just love it!

Stamps: Guy Greetings

Cardstock: Naturals Ivory (retired), Soft Suede, Garden Green

Ink: Soft Suede

Big Shot: Argyle Embossing Folder (retired - currently on Clearance Rack for only $4.79) 

Here's the inside. I know Father's Day is over, but you could switch the sentiment for any masculine event. There's a Happy Birthday and a Congratulations stamp in the set.

Watercolor Shadows and Highlights Technique

Here's another Stampin' Up! video I'd like to share with you. Great information to help you improve your water coloring skills. Enjoy!

This isn't the exact card made in the video, but it uses the same technique and the same stamped image. You may recognize it from the catalog.

TSSC 366 - Giggle Greetings Birthday

Here's my design team sample for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge. I used Giggle Greetings. Those stamps really do make me giggle. Okay, I'd say I'm more of a chuckle person than a giggle person - but you get the idea.

Supplies:

Stamps: Giggle Greetings

Ink:  Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey

Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, Whisper White

Designer Series Paper (DSP): Moonlight DSP (retired, but I have some extra if you want a pack)

In case the picture isn't clear enough to be able to read the sentiment, it says, "age is something that doesn't count unless you're a cheese." This saying is perfect for my family. Cheese and crackers is a nightly snack for much of my extended family.

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

 You can link your project and see the rest of the design team samples at the Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge site. Remember, the challenge now goes for two weeks so you've got plenty of time to play along.

Regular readers of my blog and facebook page may be having a sense of deja vu as they see this post. The TSSC challenge recently went from weekly to bi-monthly. Because June had 3 Mondays, there was a little confusion on the dates and this got posted last week. I pulled it and am now posting it on the correct day.

From The Herd

ANOTHER CHANCE: I am placing another group order tonight! If you want anything let me know by 8:00pm Wednesday, July 1. Remember to check out the Weekly Deals and Clearance Rack for some fantastic savings.

You can also order online (current hostess code B4UJGNDS). Just keep in mind that Weekly Deals have a limited quantity available and Clearance Rack items are only available while supplies last - so don't wait too long to place your order.

I know this set is retired but I think it's so cute I decided to post this card anyhow. If you didn't get it when it was available and you'd like have it, let me know.
