All That You Are

I tried to resist buying this stamp but could not help myself!  There have been many samples on Pinterest using this set and stamping on Vellum with white embossing powder.  I had to make one. My first attempts were messy.  Even though I used the Embossing Buddy the powder splashed and little pieces went outside the lines.  I was very disappointed with the results.  I did some research and found that if you heat set it from underneath the powder does not move.  When it came time to color, I also colored it on the wrong side using Blends. I chose pastel colors and like the clean look of the final card.  It reminds me of spring which in New Hampshire is just a dream!

Hint
Attaching Vellum can be tricky but you can use TomBoy adhesive, spread on thinly and it virtually disappears.

Supplies:
Stamp Set- All That You Are
Paper- WW, Gingham Gala, Vellum Card Stock
Ink- VersaMark, Balmy Blue
Accessories-Rectangle Stitched Framelets Dies, Meadow Moss Blends, Balmy Blue Blends, Calypso Coral Blends, Stamping Dimensionals

Birthday Wishes

My internet has been down!  How did we every live without it? 
Last Saturday I had a class with the stampers who have been with me the longest.  We made this card which was a big hit.  For those of you who went to a Stampin" Up! event last April, this was the basic layout of one of our Make-N-Takes.  I love the DSP- Garden Impressions and the contrast between the light and dark.  I made this same card using Calypso Coral as the base but it did not seem to have the same pop.  I am still using greetings from Sincere Salutations, long since retired, which was a gift to demonstrators from Shelli Gardner way back when.  No other set has proven to be as versatile to me.  I am a little behind with my punches and also used a retired one.  Be assured a new one is on its way to me and will arrive next week.


Supplies:
Stamp Sets- Love What You Do, Sincere Salutations (retired)
Paper- Night of Navy, Vellum, DSP Garden Impressions
Ink- Night of Navy
Accessories- Pearls, Doily
