Upsy Daisy

upsydaisyI’m having a senior moment as to whether I have posted this sample already. So, forgive me if this is a duplicate.

I have some wonderful new samples coming that I am working on for my May Stamp-A-Stack of stuff tomorrow.  It will feature some terrific masculine cards for that special guy in your life–or even your husband!

The Upsy Daisy stamp was inked in Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder.  The color combination was from the  Urban Garden Designer Series paper… Kiwi Kiss & Night of Navy– not one I would have come up with myself.  To make the flower ‘pop’, I sponged some Kiwi Kiss ink around the daisy heads.

On June 1st the discontinuing stamp sets from this year’s catalog will be published, be sure to check back at that time.  It is pretty much a given that 90% of the designer series papers will also discontinue, so if you like the Urban Garden (#112042) designer paper, now might be the time to order it!

Gold on Gold Embossing – Christmas Card

By Amy · Comments (2)
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

I absolutely *love* the uniqueness of Stampin’ Up!’s ‘brushed gold’ paper… I’ve never seen it anywhere else.  The look of gold embossing on our brushed gold is quite striking (see second photo).

Gold on Gold Embossing - Christ is Born

You need to see a photo of it on an angle to appreciate its beauty!

The set is the new "Christ is Born" which is bold enough to be embossed (finer print actually *doesn’t* emboss clearly).  Card is Riding Hood Red and the DSP is the poinsettia print from "Holiday Treasures". 

The poinsettia stamp is surprisingly from the "Christ is Born" set… I say ‘surprisingly’ because I don’t know that I like a poinsettia flower in a religious set.  I would have preferred a less secular image… but that’s just me.

I inked the poinsettia in Ruby Red (pad), added detail with a Bravo Burgundy marker and then colored the berries in Mustard after wiping off the red.

This is a totally easy card!
