I was playing around with the P.S. You’re the Best stamp set. I just love the typewriter. I started by adhering a panel of the Share What You Love DSP to a Whisper White card base. I set this inside a folded piece of vellum card stock to soften the DSP some.

I colored this cute little typewrite with Mint Macron Stampin’ Blends. Seriously, these markers are the BEST! It is so easy to get great shading and depth. I added a Petal Pink watercolor wash on the “paper”. Once it was completely dry, I stamped the sentiment. I popped this up with dimensionals on a piece of Wood Textures DSP that I had punched notches out of with my 1/2″ circle punch and wrapped with Linen Thread. I finished up with three of the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

This makes me think of an author working away at a quaint little cottage with a wonderful flower garden. Like maybe where L.M. Montgomery might have written Anne of Green Gables. Yeah, I like that.

That’s a wrap for today. Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to come back and join me again as I put a spotlight on creativity!

Hi There! I am having so much fun creating with the Share What You Love bundle! The pearlized effect on this specialty designer series paper is just gorgeous. It is hard to capture it in a photo. You really need to see it in person.

On this print, the flowers and leaves are pearlized. I sponged some Crumb Cake around the edges of the card base and the stamped panel to soften them a bit. I chose to keep the stamping and embellishments simple to let the great pattern of the paper take center stage. I love the script font of the sentiments in this set.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Stampin’ Up! has released a new suite from the 2018-19 catalog for an early sneak peek – The NEW Share What you Love Suite!

There are three different bundles available for every crafter. You can find information on them HERE

I thought I’d share a couple of cards I create with this fabulous suite of products.

This first card was one of our make and take projects from On Stage last month. Can you find all of the fun new products used? Let’s start with the amazing Share What You Love Specialty designer series paper. It is a heavier weight paper, and four of the patterns in the pack have a wonderful pearlized accent. The fun accents come in the Pearlized Doilies, Share What You Love Artisan Pearls, and Rich Razzleberry 1/4″ Velvet Ribbon.

For this card, I used the same pattern of the Share What You Love Specialty designer series paper. Since it is a heavier weight paper, I folded it in half and used it as the card base. This was, I get pattern outside and inside the card. I trimmed of a strip of the card front so the inside pattern would show when the card is closed. I did put a panel of Whisper White on the inside to write on. I added a stitched shape circle of Wood Textures designer series paper for the greeting. It pairs great with the Share What You Love Specialty designer series paper. I decided to let the paper take center stage and didn’t add any other embellishments.

This is a fantastic suite of products. Take advantage of the early release and grab yours today!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
