Sneak Peek! You’ve Got This

Posted on May 27, 2015May 19, 2015 by Josee

Good Morning!

I am very excited to show you a sneak peek of one of the NEW stamp sets in the NEW 2015-2016 Annual Catalogue! Coming June 2nd! You are going to LOVE this set called You've Got This.

2015-05-19 12.27.02

I created a very simple 'No Layer' card. Sometimes simple can be so pretty! I stamped the flower using the NEW In Color markers- the flower is Watermelon Wonder and the leaves and stem are Cucumber Crush. I stamped all the flowers the same way along the bottom of the card. Then I stamped one flower on a sticky note pad and carefully cut it out, stem and all with Paper Snips to create a mask. Then I covered a flower with the mask and stamped the 'spray' stamp from Gorgeous Grunge in Tip Top Taupe around the flowers and repeated that with each flower. The sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Black ink.

2015-05-19 12.28.10

To finish off the card, I added some Dazzling Details to the center of each flower and parts of the leaves and rounded out the corners using the Project Life Corner Rounder punch.

What do you think? I can't wait to show you more! And we will be using more NEW stamp sets in my New Catalogue Class and BOGO Sale! RSVP soon to book your spot!

Have a great day!

Gorgeous Grunge & Big News

Posted on May 22, 2015May 16, 2015 by Josee

Hello! Happy Friday!!

As promised, I am back today with a simple idea for a gift ensemble!

StampingJo Gorgeous Grunge Big News

I put together this set of four 'no layer' cards with matching envelopes. I think this is an easy way to make a gift in a hurry! You know, for when you kinda, sorta forget to get a gift A stack of these cards (perhaps 2 of each) tied with a pretty matching bow or put in an empty stamp case (which you could decorate to match if you have time!) I think anyone could appreciate the gift of cards- we all need them at some point and there is nothing like needing one and having it on hand instead of having to go buy one. GASP! Do people really BUY cards? Why buy when you can make a handmade card!! They don't need to know just how easy and quick it was!!

Supplies:

Thanks for stopping by! I hope today's card set inspires you try a no layer simple card! Have a wonderful weekend!
