Casing the Annual Stampin'UP Catalog for this Card Featuring Amazing Silhouettes Stamp Set

On page 72 in the current Annual Catalog, you will find a bright and cheerful card in yellow and pink.  I did a black and white version with a "pop of color"!!  (Bermuda Bay)

I used 2 of the stamped images in the Amazing Silhouettes set and added black ink to white card stock.  Both the images showed through as being white outlined in black.  Then I took a Blending Brush and added some Bermuda Bay sporadically.

I finished my creation off with white twine and white gems.  The Amazing Thanks Dies were used for both the white and bermuda bay layers of the sentiment.

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I hope you were inspired and enjoyed todays post.  If you have  questions about anything, make sure to leave me a comment.  I'd love to hear from you.

On Todays Card I Used the Aspen Tree Dies to Emboss instead of Cut!!


 My color combo for this creation includes:  Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and a touch of GOLD!!

Did you know that you can use MANY of our detailed dies to emboss instead of cut an image?  It's true, and exactly what I did on this card today.  Here is how you would set up the "sandwich" on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine......

--Standard Base Plate #1 (do away w/ skinny Plate #2)

--Clear Plate

--Any die image w/ cutting edge facing up

--Card Stock on top of die

--2 (yes two) Silicone Craft Mats

--Clear Plate


Your chosen detailed die will emboss instead of cut!!  VERY COOL HUH?  (The Artistic Dies w/ the big flower shown on pg. 169 will work great for this technique too for example!!)

 

  Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I hope you were inspired and enjoyed todays post.  If you have  questions about anything, make sure to leave me a comment.  I'd love to hear from you.

If you would like to place a Stampin'UP order, I would be thrilled if you selected me as your demonstrator. I've been in the SU family since 1999!

3 Card Swaps from fellow Stampin'UP Demonstrators to Inspire you Today!

This card was made by Kim Baker of Hennepin, IL.  Her and I are both dog lovers, so this card speaks to both of us in a mutual way.  Unlike Kim though, I must confess- I did NOT get the Christmas Scottie Bundle!!  Shocker, right?  The stamp set and punch are super cute though (pg. 34- Holiday Mini).  Another shocker.....I just can't buy every cute & adorable product Stampin'UP entices me with!!  lol


Another Stray Duckling friend, Terese Burdette from Mapleton IL brought this card to the demo swap a couple weeks ago.  More stamps I do not own, but I can re-produce this "collage" look with a variety of things I have already, I'm sure.  I like the color combo Terese used.


Sue Boerner from Normal, IL made this demo card swap.  I really love this Rustic Harvest designer paper, and so much so I'm on my 2nd pack of it!!  (smile)  Thanks very much to Kim, Terese, and Sue for sharing their lovely creations, and I hope you got some ideas you can duplicate.
