Vibrant Vases thanks #simplestamping

Today's project is a thank you card I made for customers for shopping with me in March.  It features the Vibrant Vases (148656) stamp set and utilizes only stamps, ink and paper making it a #simplestamping card.  I started with a card base in merry merlot, then added a layer of Wood Textures (144177) designer series paper (DSP).  To that I added my focal image which is a panel of whisper white cut at 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 and layered on another piece of merry merlot cut at 2 3/4" by 4".  This card uses only one stamp set, Vibrant Vases which is a two step stamping set which means, there is no coloring.  For instance, the Vase outline is stamped in tranquil tide and has the leaves in it.  I then stamped the inside of the vase in lemon lime twist.  The flower outline is stamped in fresh fig and the inside of the flowers in merry merlot.  The leaves of the flowers were stamped in tranquil tide as well as the sentiment.  To line things up properly, I used the Stamperatus stamp positioning tool (146276) and was able to make multiples of this card very quickly.

For the inside, I used a piece of the Wood Textures DSP left from the front panel to decorate along the bottom.  The inside sentiment comes from the Flowering Desert (148700) stamp set, but you could just as easily use a sentiment from Vibrant Vases.

Wishing You Well tulip wreath card

Today's project uses one of my absolute favorite background stamps.  It's the buffalo check 147794 and I stamped it on a piece of balmy blue cardstock cut at 5 1/4" by 4" with night of navy.  Piece is layered on a thick whisper white A2 card base.  The focal image is stamped on a piece of regular whisper white cardstock which has been cut at 3 3/4" x 5.  I stamped the wreath from the Wishing You Well 147864 stamp set which is a carryover from the 2018 holiday catalog.  The tulips are stamped in lovely lipstick and come from the Vibrant Vases 148656.  They are punched out with the coordinating Vase Builder punch 147040.  The bow on this wreath is also part of the Wishing You Well stamp set.  This set is one of Stampin' Up!'s new Distinkive sets that are photo realistic and absolutely amazing.  The sentiment comes from the FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set called Part of My Story.  You can earn this with a $50 qualifying purchase through March 31, 2019.

Celebrate Vibrant Vases

While at Onstage in Orlando in November, we were challenged to create some #simplestaming cards.  Now for those who know me best, my friends know simple stamping just isn’t in my nature.  I try to make things simple, and by the time I’m through, simple has left the building.  This is a card I came up with using primarily stamps, ink and paper.  It also uses only one stamp set so it can be reproduced with minimal supplies.  This card features a new photopolymer stamp set in the occasions catalog bu Stampin’ Up!.  It’s called Vibrant Vases and is a sister stamp set to Varied Vases in the 2018-2019 annual catalog.  Both sets have a coordinating punch, the Vase builder punch.  Varied Vases can be purchased as a bundle with the coordinating punch for a savings of 10%, then feel free to add on today’s featured set Vibrant Vases.  Doing this will qualify you for a free item from the Sale-a-bration brochure from January through March 31, 2019.

I started with a thick whisper white card base and added a layer of highland heather gingham paper from the Gingham Gala 6x6 Designer Series Paper stack.  I stamped my images on another layer of whisper white regular cardstock in black memonto ink.  These images have stamps to color in the details and I chose to use those rather than coloring them on my own.  Ink colors used are grapefruit grove, daffodil delight, Gorgeous grape, Highland heather and garden green.  For a finishing touch, I added some faceted gems in he grapefruit grove and a touch of wink of Stella.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today.  Should you want any of the supplies used or anything else Stampin’ Up!, please click on the shopping cart in the upper right.  It will take you directly to my online store.  I would be grateful for your business.  In addition, if you would like to join my team, it’s the very best time of year to do so.. you get $175 worth of product for $99 and there is no obligation to continue.  Join for the discount, or join to start a business,either way is fine with me.  No pressure, no judgments.
