Stampin Up Another Thank You Card

Today is a beautiful and hot California day.  Happy Monday.  I hope that everyone had a fun, safe and relaxing July 4th weekend.  I had a fun day with my parents, we BBQ and then to Riverside to watch the fireworks on Mt. Rubidoux. 

Here is a thank you card that I created for my thank you for my customers.  This thank you set is "Another Thank You" that is a photopolymer stamp set.  This is the first one that I have ordered and used that is a photoplymer set.  Stampin' Up has a few stamps set that are is type.  It does not have the rubber like the clear mounted stamps due, but it has a clear rubber and it sticks to the clear block real well, I liked that.  I had read to use a file or rough artist earser on the letting so the ink will really be on the stamp.  So I stamped a few that then took the our discontinued standing block and did it a few times on the rubber and it did make a differnce with a better stamped image.  I am going to order more of these types of stamp sets because I do like stamping with them.

Here is the recipe:
Another Thank You Photopolymer (#136724, pg 148) and Polka-Dot Pieces (flower #129705 wood and #129708 clear, pg 139)
Daffidil Delight, Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White card stock
All ABloom Designer Series Paper Stack (#133703, pg 185)
Mossy Meadow and Strawberry Slush ink pads
1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch (#119854)
Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#119246)

Secret Garden Happy Brithday Card

I hope that everyone is having a great Saturday this weekend.  It is a beautiful day so I wanted to share a card we created at our"Retirement Party" this past month.  This stamp set Secret Garden will be discontinued with our 2013/14 catalog.  Sorry I have not posted this earlier, but I have been having a problem with my watermark program and had to buy a different program and like it better then then old one that I was using.  It is so much easier to put the watermark on my photos.  So here is a beautiful card to give to someone for a special birthday.  It is a bright and cheerful birthday card.  We used the secret garden stamp set and framelits that are being discontinued.  

Here is the recipe:
Secret Garden (#131940 W and #129144 C) and Bring on the Cake "Happy Birthday" #128490 W & #121958 C) stamp sets - both are being discontinued

Wetlands Birthday Card

Happy Tuesday everyone.  It is a beautiful day in southern California today.  I was able to do a little stamping this weekend, so I would like to share some of my projects with you this week.  I wanted to share with you a really cool technique to do.  I used the label collection frame lit on a extra piece of card stock the same size as the whisper white card stock (3.75" x 5") and used the frame lit to cut out the design, then I put it over the whisper white card stock and used the 2 two colors to sponge in color in the cut out area. I liked the sponged look on the card.  This was a fun card that we made in class earlier.  I thought it was a good technique for today. 

Here is the recipe:
Wetlands stamp set (#126695 W or #126697 C)
Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede and Whisper White card stock
Coastal Cabana and Soft Suede stamp pads
Label Collection Frame lits (#125598)
Decorative Label Punch (#120907)
Natural 7/8" trim (#129287) - this ribbon is being discontinued

Thank you for visiting today.  Please leave a comment about this card.
