Hi, Stampers!      Just a short post to share these quick Holiday/Christmas cards.  Aren't they beautiful?  I just love the All is Bright DSP for a background that needs little embellishment.        On my samples above, I just used the DSP cut at 3-3/4" x 5", a mat of 4 x 5-1/4 and a white card base.  I used a Real Red CS mat for the Merry Christmas card and Merry Merlot CS for the other two.  The "Merry" and "Holiday" die cuts are in Gold Foil and the "Christmas" die cut is Merry Merlot CS.  All were attached with the sponged Liquid Multi technique, or you can use just tiny dots of Multi here and there.  Sentiments on card fronts were stamped, die cut and popped up - all included in this bundle.       Stamp the desired holiday sentiment(s) inside and you're done!

Hello, Stampers!      I must start by giving credit where it is due to Tracy Elsom (SU! Demo in Nova Scotia) for this wonderful idea for this vellum pattern.  As usual, I did change a couple of things - I changed the sentiment and added an additional sailboat.  Let's get started!

Hello, Stampers!      As you can tell from yesterday's post, I'm still  working on my subject line issues.  Aaaaargh!        So, if today's post subject line is messed up, I'm hoping you all know enough to open it anyway because it's just to remind you that you only have two days to redeem the coupons you earned in August.      Also, the Timeless Tidings Project Kit is now on backorder   (#148028 $20 stamp set 148936 $20 CM p.33 HC ).  If you want to get on the list, you can still order it and it should be available at the end of October.  Still plenty of time to get your cards made because it is super easy to use.  It is a lovely kit (we used it the other day) and my cards  Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net All images ©Stampin’ Up!® are done!

Hi, Stampers!      As you can probably tell from the long, long subject line on yesterday's Stamparatus-related post, I'm still new at perfecting The Silver Stamper blog!  😬  In furtherance of more testing, you get the benefit of a sneak peek at this bright and cheery Fall card; one of our projects for October stamp camp (Oct. 13).      I'll provide the products I used below, but you'll have to wait until stamp camp for the rest!
