THE TALE OF STAMPIN’ UP!

Do you want to hear a good story? Come closer. Closer. Okay, perfect. Once upon a time, in a magical kingdom called Stampin’ Up!, a decree was sent far and wide to all the demonstrators asking for greetings they would like to see in the kingdom’s magical stamp sets.

Many, many demonstrators contributed and each region received their very own stamp set with greetings unique and specific to them. This made all the demonstrators grow closer together! And they all lived happily ever after. With the Part of My Story Stamp Set, no matter where you are on your stamping journey, you can enjoy sweet salutations to let anyone know how much you appreciate them. I would just like to share this with you and let you know you can get it for free with a qualifying purchase!

BABY, BABY, BABY!

There are certain things you can count on always needing cards for: birthdays, babies and thank yous. For this month’s Event of the Month, Stampin' Up! have given us the perfect ideas for baby-themed cards. Now all I need is a baby themed event.

Wouldn't this cutie pie card be great for twins.

Our male cards

I am rather excited about gears, steering wheels and cogs. All these things are on the Designer Series Paper (DSP) It has got so many great designs that my mind is buzzing with ideas.My first class this year kicked off with male cards using the Geared Up Garage bundle.

Our first card All Geared Up uses a strip of DSP and then the bottle from our Bubble Over stamp set and matching die, stamped in Pumpkin pie. This was raised up on the DSP strip. The oil can and tool box were stamped in Momento Black ink. I love how we can mix black and white with colour and it all just goes together.

This Soft Suede card was a favourite of everyones. The cogs on the Whisper White card were created by using a cut out of the cogs die.  We sponged over this and then sponged up the edges with Soft Suede. We then cut another set of cogs in Soft Suede, snipped two of them to pop under the sentiment and the larger ones to tuck in the top corner. This one was easier than it looks and everyone was very pleased with their finished card.

Lastly we made this card using the Stamperatus, it was so much easier to line up the car and have it in the right place. Oh I do love our newest tool, the stamperatus is definitely a favourite. We stamped all the images in Black Momento Ink, 2 on Smokey Slate and 2 on Merry Merlot. Adheared them on to a Smokey Slate base, then again using the Stamparatus we stamped the sentiment on a strip of Whisper White, popped it on to a strip of Black and this was then added to the centre of the card with dimensionals.

All in all, 3 very different male cards made with this fabulous Geared Up Garage bundle. This bundle is in the Occasionals catalogue, which is available till the end of March. This is our Sale-a-Bration time, so make the most of it and receive FREE products with a qualifying order.

Here is a link to the Occasions Catalogue Online shop. Take a look and see what gorgeous products you can get at the moment.
