Swallowtail Stamp

Hi Stampers!  Wow I was having some fun tonight with the Swallowtail stamp from the Spring catalog (wood 129213 or clear 129216)
If you get no other stamp but one, get this one.  Ha ha ha, why would you ever only have one stamp though.  That's silly!  This stamp is so awesome because its so huge that you can just stamp a card and be done.  I obviously had to play with mine though.  I added some water color using water color crayons and a white pen.  (Uni-ball Gel Pen #10502, Watercolor Wonder Crayons pg 157 of the AC).  There are a ton of things to do with this stamp.  You will probably be seeing a lot more of this stamp from me.

Core'dinations

It has been awhile since I posted a video or any projects!  Oh my how life flies by with two kiddos.  I finally got a little time to post some things I have been working on today.  I love texture and this is a super easy and fast way to create texture on a card or scrapbook layout!!
The supplies I used to create these cards were:

Questions? We've Got Answers

Why are we offering Paper Pumpkin?

Paper Pumpkin is the perfect introduction to Stampin' Up! We designed it for crafters that want to create a project each month, but aren't quite ready to build a stamp collection (yet).

How does shipping work with Paper Pumpkin?

Your Paper Pumpkin will be automatically shipped to you each month (so fun!). Because we are auto shipping these, the pricing structure is slightly different from our other Stampin' Up! products.

Stamp and matching punch demo

Hi Stampers!  Here's a quick video demoing a stamp and matching punch.  If you don't want to invest in a Big Shot getting matching punches to your stamps is a great way to get that die cut feel without the investment of a Big Shot.  I know that once you play with the punches though you'll want a Big Shot!  They are all so much fun!  In the Sale a Bration catalog you can get the cute stamp set and punch I demo here.  Don't forget for every $50 you spend you can get a free item from the Sale a Bration catalog until March 22nd.  A great time to host a party.  My last host scored big time with the Sale a Bration catalog and all of her free goodies she got for hosting such a successful party!!
