HAVE YOU WASHI'D TODAY?


Washi Tape -- what a fun product to work with.  It's colorful, cuttable, tear-able, repositionable, portable, inexpensive. And Washi Tapes from Stampin' Up! come in their exclusive colors and coordinate beautifully with other products of the same color line. What's not to love!


Sparkling effects are easy to achieve with our no-mess Dazzling Details glitter-glue.

Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Basic Gray.  A yummy color combo even the guys will gobble up.

Images from the "Best of Birthdays" set were stamped, then colored in using Stampin' Write markers.

What will you Washi?

Happy stampin'

WALK IN THE WILD

Allergies and a sinus infection have really slowed me down; but I wanted to make a card for Father's Day for my husband. Periodically I ask my husband to go through my catalog and tell me stamps sets he would like for us to have in the craft room.  "Walk in the Wild" is one of those new this year.  I like the simple layout and masculine colors and textures of my card; but as I look at it again now it seems to lack something, maybe an Antique Brad.  Well, Lou was quite pleased with it just as is, and isn't that what really matters.

other supplies:  Gumball Green, Whisper White, Early Espresso card stock; Epic Day Designer Series Paper; 7/8" Cotton and Early Espresso 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain ribbons; Early Espresso stamp pad; Gumball Green Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry markers; dimensionals

Hint: Create the grassy background using Versamrk pad and "Inspried by Nature" (retired), or draw the random lines freehand using a Sahara Sand marker. Use both ends to create both thick and thin blades.

Happy Monday!  Happy Stampin'
