Stamping is Always Time Well Spent


Shelli Gardner, owner and co-founder of Stampin' Up, and a very sweet lady, recently sent all demos a gift - a Level 3 hostess stamp set from the upcoming catalog, Time Well Spent. It's a really pretty set, a little on the doodly side, with flowers, a butterfly and a heart and some cute sentiments. I needed to make one more card for my Secret Sister this month and couldn't resist using it. Here's a sneak peak.

It uses Cameo Coral, So Saffron and Tempting Turquoise cardstock and markers, and Cameo Coral, Tempting Turquoise and Basic Black classicinks. It doesn't show well in the scan, but the So Saffron dots and five inside petals have Crystal Effects on them to add dimension and shine. This color combination is straight from the Color Coach, which is a tool I could not function without, and I really like the way it turned out.

The new catalog coming out in January has some really gorgeous stuff in it. I'm really glad my birthday is not to long after the catalog comes out, as I know I'm going to need a lot from it. Call or e-mail me to reserve your copy of the catalog or reserve a date for a workshop!
