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!

When Stampin' Up! released the Service Essentials stamp set with coordinating dies, it was like a dream come true. Every year, I sponsor a Veterans Thank You card drive and collect cards from the ladies that stamp with me at class, or watch my videos or people who just have heard about it. This year marks the fourth year that we have done it and we are well on our way to reaching our goal.
Here is a card that I made using the Service Essentials stamp set:

Project Recipe:
STAMP SET: Service Essentials (Online Exclusive #167436)
INK: Misty Moonlight, Real Red
PAPER: Real Red Base, Basic White Layer, Garden Poetry Layer

I hope that you enjoyed today's card, if you would like to join us in making Veteran Thank You cards, all you have to do is making cards using Red, White & Blue. Either in papers or ink. White piece for the inside but don't stamp anything. No envelopes. Nice and simple. Contact me and I will give you my address to either send them to me or drop them off.
Thanks for stopping by,
Cindy

If you remember on Sunday, March 15th going into Monday, March 16th, we had a blizzard! We had 20 inches of snow on Sunday. My husband and I have lived at our place for 44 years and couldn't recall ever getting that much snow in a 24 hour stretch. As I write this, we have a lull in the storm but it supposed to start back up tonight. We are in a blizzard warning until 7 a.m., Monday morning. So I decided to play and stamp!
Card - Thinking of You
Project Recipe:
STAMP SET: Framed All Around (Online Exclusive March 2026, #167221)
INK: Pool Party, Smokey Slate, Memento Black
PAPER: Smokey Slate Base, Petunia Pop Layer, White Layer & Inside
ACCESSORIES: Petunia Pop Faceted Dots, Stampin' Blends in Petunia Pop, Granny Apple Green; Wink of Stella (Flowers) and Stampin' Up! brushes
This card was fun to make, a person forgets that you don't need all of the "gadgets" to make a really beautiful card. It was just stamping, some coloring and brushing. The idea for this card came from Stampin' Up!, I just changed it just a bit so that I could call it my own. This was a good way to get the juices flowing.
So if you ever stuck, open up the Stampin' Up! website to inspire you. Here is my link: Cindy's Stamping Studio
Have a great day!
