Stampin' With Michelle Pepper

You've got to love it when a card comes together fairly quickly! Click here for the list of supplies Have you heard of CASE? It stands for Copy and Selectively Edit. Yes, in the world of crafting, there's no shame in copying! I love CASEing and see how different a card can look when you vary the elements - different stamps, different colours, changing the orientation...you can pretty much edit anything or nothing!   For this card, I had CASEd a beautiful card given to me by a dear friend and fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I love Susan Wong's work, and often take inspiration from the projects she shares. So, if you are a beginner stamper, and/or if you are not confident, then I encourage you to look at the works of others, and pay special attention to the projects you are drawn to. CASE their work. As you keep stamping, you will find that you grow in confidence and likely to develop your own style.  Have a look at the original card and the CASEd card below.     I did

Here's a sweet Thanks card made with the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.   Click here for the supplies list   One of the joys of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is being part of a team of demonstrators! (Let's have a chat if you are wondering what the benefits are of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator or if you are ready, you can join my team here .) At a team meeting a few months ago, we made this sweet card organised by our lovely team member Suzanne Smith. I do love me a white on white card - there's something so elegant about it. The image was coloured with Stampin Blends in Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent. The embossed feature on the side comes from the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders (#153126) pack. The little gems are from Elegant Faceted Gems (#152464) The sentiment was stamped in Memento Black then punched out using the Double Oval Punch (#154242) .  Thanks so much for stopping by today. As always, if you have any questions, I am happy to help you. Until n

I have made today's cards to participate in the Global Design Project Challenge #312   Click here for list of supplies used   The challenge at #GDP312 this week is to CASE (copy and selectively edit) the following card by designer Madeleine Mrotzek:   I wanted to play with Free As A Bird, a stamp set that I haven't used for a long time. I also had another challenge in mind, a colour challenge from #stampinfancyfriday.        So I combined the two challenges in the first of my cards     This is a one layer card, although I did pop up the bird images. The birds were watercoloured with Coastal Cabana and Old Olive. The background was made with using the blending brush to sponge Real Red ink on a decorative mask. Did you know that this is a very effective way of adding interest to your cards? You get four decorative masks from the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks Pack (#150697) . While I have my supplies out, I decided to try a different colour combo - Misty Moonlight on Smoky Slate

When I think simple stamping, I think SIP - Stamps, Ink and Paper. It is a great concept for beginner stampers, especially when you are still building your tools and supplies.

Stamp the splatter stamp in Cinnamon Cider and/or Crumb Cake. (Note, depending on how new - and therefore juicy - your ink pad is, you may need to stamp off once before stamping o
