I signed up for an "Every Stamp" Swap - it is an attempt to create cards using every stamp in the new Stampin Up! Idea Book and Catalogue. I've been busy over the past couple of weeks designing and making 8 different cards with the stamps I selected. It's been fun! I'm finished and will be sending my cards off to the organizer this weekend.
Here are some of the cards I made.

This card is using the new "Easy Events" Stamp set. It's a great set that allows you to make cards for all occasions. |

I love the "Awash with Flowers" set. It's really a two-step stamp set - you use the outline stamp and then fill it in with the "filler" stamp. In this card, I only used the outline with Stazon ink on Vellum paper and then I coloured in the flower on the back of the vellum. Don't you just love the new Ruffled Ribbon and the Wisteria Wonder colour! |

I think this is my favourite card! It's made with the Pretty Postage stamp set for the 2 outside stamps and the Fancy Fans letter press. I used Versamark on the letterpress before running it through the Big Shot and then I used Clear Embossing Powder to give it the shine! The centre strip is made using the "Crimper" |

Stamp set is "Lovely as a Tree". If you're looking for a very versatile set, this one is great for all occasions and for anyone. |

Christmas is just around the corner. I've used Bells & Boughs on water colour paper and then coloured in with water colour crayons. To embellish I've added gold glass glitter to the flower centres and gold brads. |

I had never thought of using these colours together, but somehow I was inspired. The stamp set is "Circle Circus" and this is a quick and easy card to make. |

Not my typical colour palette, but I like the end result. This card uses the Triple Treat Flower stamp - it's one stamp, but the end result is a layered flower that is cut out using coordinating punches.
If you're interested in any of these designs, let me know - I'd be pleased to show you how to make all or any!
Have fun stamping! Melva |
