“The greatest gift is a portion of thyself.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
What a fabulous quote! I love this new Level 1 Hostess stamp set, Of the Earth. It has the quote plus the flower shown here as well as a bird and a butterfly on a flower.
And the best part? It is yours free with a $200 order plus you will earn anadditional $20 in stampin’ rewards to spend in the catalogue. Place your own order or collect orders from friends and place a workshop order to receive your free set and rewards. And remember, every order earns you Ink Crowd points as a gift from me.
This card uses the new Groom Specialty Paper. I was surprised by the elegance of this paper. And it is actually a lightweight cardstock and not a paper like the Designer Series papers. Each package has the two patterns shown here, a pin stripe and damask. The Specialty paper is also available in Bride (white) and Bridesmaid (Vanilla).
The flower was stamped with VersaMark ink and covered with the Heat and Stick powder. After tapping off the excess powder, I heated the image just until it became shiny. If the Heat and Stick powder is overheated it will lose it stickiness. Next, I covered the image with the black glitter from the Fine Galaxy assortment and used my finger to press it down onto the image. Finally, I tapped off the excess glitter and returned it to the container.
To embellish, I used a small grommet in black and the Bermuda Bay ribbon solid side up. I hope you like it!

I received a beautiful Pyramid Card from one of my Stampin’ Up! team members a few months ago and have been wanting to make my own.
My wait is over and I like how it turned out!
I used the stamp set For All You Do (which is included in the $105 Mini Starter Kit).
I layered the white embosed image onto a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock 2″ x 2″ and then onto Whisper White cardstock that is 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″.
The next layers of Melon Mambo Patterns Designer Series Paper are 3″ x 3″, 4″ x 4″, 5″ x 5″ and the Whisper White cardstock is 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″, 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ and 5-1/4″ x 10-1/2″.
I embellished with white accessories including Jumbo Brads, Taffeta Ribbon and Library clips.

I love, love, love these new Dots & Designs Rub-ons!
In each package are two identical sheets with 17 images on each sheet. The co-ordinating colours are so crisp – Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White.
I love simple cardmaking and using the rub-ons allows me to be creative and still create fast, easy cards.
This card uses two rub-ons – a floral design and the Chocolate Chip border. A short length of ribbon tied around the border is the only embellishment.
Two long rub-on strips are used on this card. The long wide border has Whisper White flowers on a Chocolate Chip border. The narrow border is Whisper White and I applied it onto Chocolate Chip cardstock. Three 5/16″ jumbo brads in Chocolate Chip finish the card.
The Ruby Red border is the only rub-on used here. I applied it on Whisper White cardstock and layered onto Ruby Red cardstock. Then, I stamped a greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes onto Whisper White cardstock with Chocolate Chip ink and punched it out with the Word Window punch. Ruby Red cardstock punched wth the Modern Label punch is layered under the Word Window piece.
This card uses the new 1-1/4″ Striped Grosgrain ribbon tied with a piece of narrow grosgrain as the background. The floral rub-on is layered onto Chocolate Chip and Ruby Red cardstocks.

One of the many reasons to be a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator on the Dreaming About Rubber Stamps team is for the awesome swaps.
Our last DARS Team swap featured the new In Colors. I will be sharing more of the cards over the next few Sundays.

The card above was created by guest stamper Tanya Olinek. She stamped the card with the new Hostess set, Kind and Caring Thoughts. The colours are Rich Razzleberry and Certainly Celery. And since every girl loves bling, she used glitter on the flower to really make it pop.
This card was created by guest stamper, Jackie Brotherson. She used the new Hostess set, Asian Artistry. The colours she featured were Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede and Dusty Durango. Notice how she cut down the Curly Label punch and layered it under the Modern Label and Word Window punches. Love it!
This card was created by guest stamper, Carolyn Dieleman. The stamp set is Circle Circus and she used Crushed Curry, MelonMambo and Rich Razzleberry In Colors. Look closely – do you see the polka dots on the card? After stamping, Carolyn ran the cardstock through the Big Shot Texturz plate and added the embossed dots. What a great idea!
The background of this card is the new Finial Press embossing folder for the Big Shot. Isn’t it pretty?
I layered it on Chocolate Chip cardstock and embellished with the new Ribbon Originals in Masterpiece and chocolate chip Jumbo Brads. The colours in the ribbon I used are Very Vanilla, Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip. I made a loop wih the narrow ribbon as an accent. I used Very Vanilla cardstock for the layered piece and the greeting.
Stamping a Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment with Chocolate Chip ink on Very Vanilla cardstock, I punched with the Word Window and layered it onto a Modern Label piece punched with Chocolate Chip.
I don’t know what I would do with out the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and the Modern Label punch. I love them and use them almost daily. If you haven’t already, order your stamp set and punch today!
