The Silver Stamper

Hi, Stampers!      This is the 4th we created at August Stamp Camp.  Being a big fan of palm trees and tropical climes (except here in Indiana), I just love this Bundle and the coordinating DSP.  Send me an email or comment for a FREE printable project sheet.  Let's get started!

Hi, Stampers!      This card was so easy to make and I already owned all of the products I used - always a plus.  You probably have most of them, too!   Let's get started.   Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net Measurements Blackberry Bliss (or Black or Gorgeous Grape) CS for base - 4-1/4 x 11, score at 5-1/2; additional piece 4" x at least 2" to die-cut houses and scrap of black or Black Foil for bat Mango Melody CS - 5-1/4 x 4 Very Vanilla CS - 5-1/4 x 4 for inside

Hi, Stampers!      Just a few days left to take advantage of the above promotions.  Remember, with Bos Days, you earn a $5 coupon in August for every $50 you order and you get to spend it/them in September when the HOLIDAY CATALOG goes live!  I have $15 in SU! Coupons - how about you!? FREE, FREE, FREE TO GOOD HOME!       I am detaching myself from more and more of my retired stamp sets, embossing folders and dies.  I have reorganized and I must get these items off the floor of my office/stampin' studio!  Go to my blog now for the first list and more details. 

Hi, Stampers!      One of my favorite and most versatile of the Stampin' Up! sets is Lovely as a Tree and I'm apparently not the only one.  I've been a Demo for 15+ years and Lovely has been there since before me.   We've also fallen in love with the Woodland TIEF, Pinewood Planks, Wood Textures DSP, Rooted in Nature - do you see a pattern here?  ;-)  This new set (and Bundle), Winter Woods (Holiday, p.27), is a wonderful addition to your collection if you love nature and trees.  The soft, skeletal trees alone are enough for me!  Just click above for a short, informative video - there is more to this Bundle than meets the eye.  If the link above doesn't work, follow this link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrpOK0BJibE   Enjoy.

Hello, Stampers!      I saw just a section of what I presume is a card very similar to this one, on France Martin's blog in a collage of projects.  I could not find the full card anywhere online, so I decided to just wing it.  You could certainly use any colors for the "bubbles," but I decided to stick with what I had seen on the blog, partially because they are not colors I would have chosen on my own - if that makes sense.  Go to my blog and let's get started.

Hi, Stampers!      As promised in my July 14 post, here are the details for this card, one of the four created at Stamp Camp yesterday.  Let's get started.

 All images © Stampin' Up!® Hi, Stampers!      This week Stampin' Up! is highlighting the Graceful Glass Suite, and if you click the image above, you will be transported to YouTube for a short, informative video (if I added the link correctly, that is).  🙏  I've ordered the bundle (Painted Glass stamp set and Stained Glass Thinlits - saving 10%) and the Graceful Glass 6x6 Designer Vellum, and they're on their way to me now. 😊  There are several super ideas for the suite on p.164 in your Annual Catalog and tons of great ideas online.  Many ways to color (or not) and to die-cut or emboss with the Thinlits - the possibilities are endless.  Take a few minutes to check out the video and move on to Pinterest, Splitcoaststampers, etc.  Of course, we know how that goes - better allow more than a few minutes.  I'm just sayin'.       Looking forward to seeing some of you at Stamp Camp this Saturday! Happy Stampin'! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net

Hi, Stampers!      Just two things before we get started on this card:  I apologize if I got you excited for the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog and that you could order on September 1 in my last post.  That was incorrect.  The effective date of the HC is September 5 .. Second, don't forget, S tamp Camp is next Saturday, August 25 !  Once again, I will have projects sheets for you!  Please don't forget to RSVP by the end of the day Monday.  Thanks!  Now, on to our card.      Some of the patterns in the Share What You Love Specialty DSP felt oriental to me, so I decided to pair one of them with the Artistically Asian stamp set.  I've added a close-up so you can see the lovely pearl satin sheen on the flowers.  Four of the patterns in this pack have pearl/satin accents.        Unfortunately, some of the cards we need the fastest are sympathy, get-well and thank you, and Artistically Asian works for all.  Click on the images below to view the the DSP and included sentime

Hi, Stampers!     Trying to get back into the stampin' routine, so since it's so, so hot outside, thought I would stay in and play.  I saw a tutorial for this "pie" card by Debbie Henderson, but didn't totally CASE it.  I only had some of the items she used and because I'm an inside-the-box stamper, generally, I wanted my pie to look even more "real."  I even added a pie pan!
