Itty Bitty Greetings - Petals & More Thinlits - Attic Boutique - Stampin Up!

#loveitchopit

It's also fun when you don't have to do much stamping!  I tried something a little different here.  The Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper is covered in Mod Podge and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds.  It is very sparkly!

Texture was added to the card base with the Subtle Embossing Folder and the white side accent is from the Petals & More Thinlits.  

My sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and punched out with the Classic Label Punch.  I use this punch a lot!!

I hope you are inspired to use up old paper/products while incorporating our awesome current products.  Give it a try!

The count down is on!  New catalogue goes live June 4.

Scrapbook Page Challenge - Stampin' Up!

I often hear customers and fellow paper crafters say they need to start using their stamps and dies more often in their scrapbooking!

So, I recently held a card class at our local scrapping event using the Best Birds and Petal Palette bundles.  As part of the class I issued a challenge (optional) for the attendees to create a scrapbook page using these sets.  I also offered a couple of others die sets to the mix.

Fellow card maker, scrapbooker, artist, friend, customer, Brenda.....took on this challenge and created all four of these amazing pages in no time at all.  I love how she turned the bird in the upper right corner into a chickadee!  

My photographs do not do these pages justice.  These pages with the mainly white with a touch of black are very striking in real life. A black and white photograph will look awesome on these pages. 

This all white page would also look gorgeous with a black and white photo.  But I think the perfect colour photo would really pop too!

So, Brenda; well done!  It is a good lesson in trying to remember to use your stamps and dies regularly when you scrap.

Most of Brenda's products were Stampin' Up!

Here are a few of the products she used..
