Saturday Spotlight Stamper - Linda Jachimstal

 My spotlight stamper this week is Linda Jachimstal, Linda sent me 38 Veteran Thank You cards to add to the Veteran Thank You Honor Flight Cards that I am sponsoring. Her cards are just lovely and show just how much she cares about our Veterans.

Here is the highlight of her cards:

They turned out just great and I am so honored that she made them and then sent them to me. The cards have been added to my collection of cards and we now have 502 cards! If you would like to get in on the fun, you have until June 1st deadline.

Veteran Thank You Cards Guidelines:

• Red/White Blue colors (Either in Cardstock, Design or Ink)
• White piece of paper on the inside (for messages that they will write), We don't write the messages.
• Does not have to be all Stampin' Up!
• Clean & simple is great!
• No Envelopes

Contact me for my address if you have to send the cards to me, if you are local we can make arrangements to meet up. Thanks so much~!

Take care, have a great week.

Cindy

Stampin' Up! Wow Tip!

 

Wow Tip: Subtle Effects with Soft Pastels

When was the last time you played with chalk? These easy-to-use chalk pastels are densely packed with pigment, giving you nice, rich colors! Just wipe away the dust with a tissue. Step 1: Cut tags from a Wonderful Match Designer Series Paper. Stamp and die cut a flag image. Use Soft Pastels to color the trophy and the flag. Tip: Play with pressure to add chalk saturation and depth to your colored designs. Step 2: Cut a panel from the Wonderful Match Designer Series Paper (arrows and circles). Use Soft Pastels to color the white designs on the paper. Step 3: Wipe your colored pieces lightly with a tissue to remove excess chalk, then assemble your card. I hope that you enjoyed this week's Stampin' Up! article, give it try!
