Fast & Fabulous on Friday - Varied Vases

I love a punch, don't you?  I really like this Varied Vases stamp set and love that it came with a punch instead of dies.  So quick to punch out your images and have them punched out at once.  Have you seen this trick to stamping and punching out all of your images at once?

Create a template using a piece of the backing paper from the Designer Series Papers (the white backing) and punch out using the Vase Builder punch.  Label the front of it so you know which way to place it when working with it.  Keep the template in your stamp case for future use.

When you are ready to stamp, place the template on your workspace and take the stamps and place them face down in the punched out spaces.  Take an Acrylic E Block and pick them up on the block together.  Now you can stamp all of them on your card stock and punch them all out at the same time!  How great is that?

Fast & Fabulous on Friday - Combining Designer Series Papers for a Beautiful Effect

The Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper is absolutely gorgeous and pairs extremely well with the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Designer Paper.  I love the photographic images of this paper.  This card would be perfect for a birthday, a sympathy card or any occasion.   I used the Beautiful Promenade stamp set and dies to stamp and cut out the flower.  The flower was stamped using Melon Mambo but I stamped off once first so the intensity was diminished.

Welcome to the World Little Baby!

This card was made in honor of the birth of my grandniece Sydney Grace Neil who was born on July 9.  When Stampin' Up! announced the new color palette and there were several light pinks, I was kind of surprised until I got the paper in my hands.  The Petal Pink is definitely a peachy pink, the Blushing Bride has a dusky cast to it and the Powder Pink is just that - a powdery pink.  My least favorite was the Petal Pink until I started designing with it and I have fallen in love!

Are you having fun with this paper too?  Such beautiful patterns to work with.  The easiest way to glue it down is shown in my video but if you don't have time to watch it, just put a dollop on your silicone mat, mist lightly with water to dilute and use a sponge/dauber to mix and place on the back of the paper.  It is an easy way to apply adhesive to the back.

Fast & Fabulous on Friday - Another Delightfully Detailed Designer Series Paper Card....

Here is another quick & easy (no stamping!) card using the Delightfully Detailed Designer Series Paper.  This time, I took my sponge brayer and inked the leaf pattern piece of the DSP with Min Macaron ink.  I finished it with the largest Stitched Oval cut from Very Vanilla card stock and the Happy Birthday die cut from the new Rose Glimmer Paper.  I love the changes to the glimmer paper - it is so much easier to cut with the dies!  Again, I used the liquid glue/water combination on my Silicone Craft mat to apply adhesive to the back of the Designer Series Paper.
