THE GRACEFUL GLASS SUITE

Image
 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

QUICK & EASY ARTISTICALLY ASIAN

Image
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

WARM APPLE PIE by Debbie

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!
