Stampin' Creations

Best wishes for everyone for a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year!

Stampin' Up! has a lot of great new products coming out soon. They are introducing Clear Mount Stamps - same rubber, just mounted on clear blocks for better placement and a space saving design! I'm really excited about this option. They also have some really cool new punches. I love punches! All this great new stuff AND Sale a Bration starts the 5th! That's Free products for every $50 you spend! Don't worry - there will be links on here soon to check it all out. In the meantime, here's a card I made with an upcoming stamp, Fine Flourish. It reminded me of those books of designs you color in to make your own patterns when I was little, so I decided to color it in with markers. I think this would also look pretty cool stamped on vellum and colored from behind to make a stained glass kind of image, but would be pretty even by itself. Here's to a creative 2010!

I'm one of those wacky people who can't just make one Christmas card to send to everyone. I guess I get bored and need to do something different, and there are so many ideas I want to try. So, here is one of my favorites. I used Christmas Cocoa DSP punched into squares and placed them on the top note die. Then I cut around the "stitching" marks and mounted it onto a red top note die. That got popped up on dimensionals onto a Petals a Plenty embossed white base. Now, can you guess what I mounted the saying from Christmas Punch onto? Hint: It's 2 different shapes.
I have lots of great new stuff to share from my wonderful weekend of stamping, so I'll try and find time to post them soon. Enjoy!
