stamp review crew: beautiful world

Hello, friends! So excited to have you join me for another Stamp Review Crew blog hop! This is a great way to see a lot of inspiration around one specific stamp set. Today we are shining a spotlight on the new set Beautiful World. This set is part of the World of Good product suite and has some amazing coordinating products. As usual, I decided to break away from the suite and feature this stamp set in a new color scheme.

I really LOVE to play around with watercolor backgrounds. For both of today’s cards, I created my backgrounds by a “smooshin” technique – scribble my Stampin’ Write markers (Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, and Shaded Spruce) on my silicone mat, spritz it with water, and “smoosh” my panel of watercolor paper onto it. Once dry, I cut it out with a Stitched Rectangle die and did the stamping. The middle Shaded Spruce strip is debossed with a die in the World Map die set. This die has map coordinates for the various Stampin’ Up! home offices around the world. How cool is that!

For the second card, I started by stamping the globe and base with VersMark ink on my die cut watercolor panel and embossed it with white embossing powder. Then, I did the watercolor “smooshing”

I am really liking this color combo! It is so bright and cheerful. This is a great stamp set. I will definitely be working with it again soon.
