ELEMENTS OF STYLE ~ SET OF CARDS

Hi Stampers!

Today, I'm going to show you what I did with my club leftovers. They were leftovers from this card. Elements of Sytle is such a WONDERFUL stamp set....a definite MUST HAVE!!! Here is a picture of all 4 fours cards (sorry the picture isn't very good).....What you can't tell from the pictures is that each floral image is sprayed with the new Smooch Spritz sprays that are being offered in the Summer Mini. They are the BEST!!!!

Then here are close-ups of each one....except the red one which was already posted.

This last one shows the envelopes I made to match....

I will be giving this set away at my upcoming SUMMER MINI OPEN HOUSE on Saturday, May 29th from 10-2pm at my home. So, those of you in the area are welcome to drop by anytime....I will have a FREE Mak-n-Take and other goodies. I will also be offering FREE SHIPPING on all orders placed that day. So, those of you who don't live in the area.....please email me your orders since this is a special that I am offering, not SU.

Last, but certainly not least.....I wanted to show you Steve with the other woman in his life :-) ......yes, that's Jesse, our sweet black lab! Aren't they just the CUTEST couple??!!!

That's all from me.....Until next time, find some time for stamping!!!!

Blessings.......Cindy

ELEMENTS OF STYLE ~ CLUB CARD

Hi Stampers!

Today's card uses the Elements of Style stamp set from the new Summer Mini. This is a GREAT set.....so pretty!!! I sure hope this set stays around!!!!

This card's inspiration came from the demonstrator only website Stampin' Connection. The demonstrator's name is Kim Ransom. I changed this card up just a bit.....and I LOVE how it turned out!!!

The card is pretty simple.....I used watercoloring to color the flowers and what you can't tell from the photo is that I sprayed the flowers with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz which is also in the Summer Mini. These Smooch Spritzes are SO COOL!!!! I hope SU carries them over to the new year!!!

This was the second card that we made at my monthly stamp club yesterday evening.

Well, that's all folks!! Until next time, find some time for stamping!!!

Blessings..........Cindy

SPOTLIGHTING TECHNIQUE

Hi Stampers!

This week I have been working on a technique swap for a meeting with my Stampin' Up! upline this Friday......I'll just say right now.....using different techniques is NOT something that I normally do, so it has been good for me to do this. I'm SO prone to just doing pretty much the same thing.....so I'm forcing myself out of my comfort zone.

Anyway....for our swap all we are doing is showing a technique on a Top Note.....not making a whole card. Here is what they look like.....I made 6 just like this, with instructions on the back.

I will come home with 5 different technique cards.....which will be stored on a ring by the eyelet....and since each one will have instructions on the back, it will make it real easy for me to be brave and try a new technique!

Anyways....before I made these I had to experiment. So, with the "rejects" I made the following cards.....

Both of these cards are pretty much exactly the same.....except for color. I will add that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE this new stamp set....Elements of Style.... that is in the new Summer Mini catalog. It's GREAT!!! I'm going to be using this set LOTS!!

Well, that's it for me today.....until next time, find some time for stamping!!!

Blessings.........Cindy
