The Silver Stamper

Hi, Stampers!       The CASology theme for Week 317 is "menu."  This is my first-time submission and I don't even know if it will be accepted because of the age of this stamp set.  It is an SU! set called "Voila" and it is one of only a few retired sets that I will not part with - it is at least  10 years old.  Do any of you long-timers remember it?  Leave a comment if you do.       I used Memento ink for the main image and a combination of Stampin' Write Markers and Stampin' Blends for the small amount of coloring.  Just a simple, 1/16" of black mat showing on a white card base. That's it! Happy Stampin’! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net All images ©Stampin’ Up!®

Hello, Stampers!      I ordered this set mostly for the get well sentiments included which are atypical of Stampin' Up! and more my "style," I guess.  BUT, I do love the Distinktive© rose and leaves.  This is a pretty simple card and, as we all know, sometimes we need simple and quick.  Let's get started.     Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net Measurements WW Thick card base - 8-1/4 x 5, scored at 4-1/4 Nature's Poem DSP - 5-1/4 x 4 Granny Apple Green CS - 4-1/8 x 2-7/8; scrap for extra leaves Shimmery White CS - 4 x 2-3/4

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!
