Facebook Live Replay - Fabulous Sayings

 I am just in love with the new Fabulous Sayings stamp set from Stampin' Up! The font is great and I love all of the words that come with it. The best part is that it is only $5 with a $75 Stampin' Up! order. It is the January Product of the Month, so supplies are limited. If you are looking for a Stampin' Up! Demo, I would love to earn your business. Also, I showed off this really cool technique Embedded Embossing.

Here is a close up of the card:


Project Recipe:

STAMP SETS: Fabulous Sayings (January SU Product of the Month)

INK: Gorgeous Grape

PAPER: Fresh Freesia Base, Gorgeous Grape Layer, White Layer & Inside; Scraps

ACCESSORIES: Impressions Abloom Dies, Unbounded Love Dies, Fresh Freesia Dots, Dimensionals, Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder, Adhesive Sheets

This card was a lot of fun to make and I can't wait to do it again. 

Now sit back and enjoy the video replay:

Stampin' Up! Love What You Do

 




Creative Challenge: Follow the Sketch
Looking for inspiration to share with customers? Sketches—or templates—are a great place to start! This month’s Creative Challenge is to create a project using the sketch shown above. Both cards featured here began with the same sketch, but each creator put their own spin on it, proving just how versatile a sketch can be.

The I Like You Lots card is a more literal sketch interpretation, while Hello Friend flips the sketch (mirror image) and swaps some of the squares and rectangles for flowers and other decorative elements. Any way you stamp it, sketches are loaded with possibility. 

And while you're at it, don't forget about Bonus Days!

Thanks for stopping in, take care.
Cindy
