First of all - I got some super duper happy mail today!! I'm attending the virtual "On Tour" put on by Stampin'Up! in April - so I received a copy of the brand new 2021-2022 Catalogue super early and a new stamp set. Just some of the perks to being a demonstrator. Woo Hoo! Today has been taken up creating cards with the "Lovely You" stamp set. I may be doing a class with it at the end of April so wanted to create cards for it. This first black and white card shows how you can stamp with just your black ink pad. To get the lighter shade I simply stamped the ink off once. And, if you don't have any black rhinestones - you can either use the black Stampin' Blends marker or a black sharpie. The layout of the images was cased from Jenny Moors on Pinterest. I liked how she used the sides of the cardstock instead of going along the bottom. This second design was also inspired by Jenny Moors. I think I used close to the same colours as she did, by my layout is a little different. Did I mention that this stamp set is retiring at the end of April? Thankfully the coordinating Lovely Labels Pick a Punch is still going to be available. The colours I used for this card are Just Jade, Bumble Bee and Old Olive. Finally a creation that was inspired by Lyssa Zwolanek at Song of My Heart Stampers. I used only colours from the Brights Collection. The Bermuda Bay flowers were stamped off to make them lighter. I liked how Lyssa created a border for the strip of greetings. I've changed my card up by added some Gorgeous Grape flowers which are popped up with dimensionals. Lovely You - 152525 - $33.00 That's it for today - it's pretty windy here outside of Edmonton. It's going to keep me from going for my walk. Here's hoping for a calmer day tomorrow. Joan SAY GOODBYE TO SOME STAMPIN’ UP! FAVORITES PLUS BIG DISCOUNTS ON SELECT PRODUCTS!
