Awesomely Timeless Textures

Awesomely Artistic, Timeless Textures

Timeless Textures is a stamp set that is in the 2016 Occasions Catalog that I would not normally order.  I didn’t like Gorgeous Grunge when it first came out and now I use it all the time so I thought I would take a chance and get it.  Well, now that I have gotten a chance to play with it, I like it!  I used that stamp set along with the dragonfly in Awesomely Artistic and  a sentiment from One Big Meaning.  I think it kind of makes it look like the dragonfly is a little drunk flying around in circles but I thought it turned out cute in spite of that.

Awesomely Artistic, Endless Thanks

Do you remember this stamp set?  Sometimes we get so focused on the new “mini” catalogs that we forget there is an Annual Catalog out there with some awesome products in it.  For those of you who have been with Stampin’ Up! for a while, you know what I mean by “mini” catalog.  A couple of years ago (maybe longer) Stampin’ Up! came out with these small 5.” X 8.5″ catalogs that we would call minis.  Now the catalogs are full sized 8.5″ x 11″ so technically they aren’t mini anymore but they are smaller so I still call them minis.  Sorry for the digression!

Anyway the stamp set I used for this card is called Awesomely Artistic.  It is in the Annual Catalog. When the catalog first came out it was a pretty popular stamp set.  Ii still love it so you might see it every now and then in between the new sets in the minis!

Watercooler Challenge WCC31

Banner1

It is that time again for a Watercooler Challenge.  This time the challenge is from Heidi and it is a sketch challenge.  Sketch challenges (for me) are the easiest to do.  You don’t have to follow it exactly but it needs to look fairly close. Therefore, I want everyone reading this to make a card using this challenge and the post it on our Watercooler Challenge web site HERE.  If you need help posting a picture, just let me know.  I can help you!

Here is the sketch challenge that Heidi gave us.

WCC31 Heidi Sketch Challenge

Here is the card I made using this sketch challenge:

Awesomely Artistic

I used the stamp set called Awesomely Artistic.  I colored the flowers using Mossy Meadow and Hello Honey markers.  The nice thing about coloring is you don’t have to be exact and color between the lines.  It is ok if you are a little messy.  The sentiment I used is from One Big Meaning.  That is a stamp set that says “thank you” seven different ways.  It is a great set to own!

Don’t forget to make a card using this sketch and post it to the Watercooler web site!

Awesomely Artistic

Artistically Awesome

This is the third card we made in our Club Meeting in July.  It uses the new stamp set called Awesomely Artistic.  It really is a beautiful stamp set that has nine stamps in it, including the cute little dragonfly.  We used Very Vanilla card stock on this card because it added a little softness to it.  I know it is hard to tell from the photo.  The frame around the word Friend is also included in this set.  It actually has a matching Framelit to go with it in the set called Project Life Cards & Labels.

If any of you are interested in coming to our Club meeting one month, just let me know.  There is no obligation but you just might find yourself having some fun.  If you would rather not come to the Club meeting I would be happy to set up a different time for you and your friends to come to my house to stamp.  I charge $10 to make 3 cards and there would be no obligation to buy anything else (unless you want to!).

Awesomely Artistic

This is a brand new stamp set that is in the 2015 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.  It is called Awesomely Artistic. This set comes in Wood Mount or Clear Mount.  Honestly, it is not a set I would usually get (because I am not very good at vintage) but it has the cutest Dragonfly included with it.  Most of you know I am not a butterfly fan but for some reason I like Dragonflies.  Go figure!  The set of Framelits called Project Life Cards & Labels have a Framelit that goes with this set.  You can see I used it in this card.  The “thanks” is from another new stamp set called Tin Of Cards.  That set has a bunch of great sentiments included with it.

I got to visit Madelyn last weekend and was able to take some new pictures so I thought I would share one since you haven’t seen many lately.
