Sneak Peak of a lovely stamp set and embossing bundle - Wildflower Meadow

We used this stamp set and embossing folder in a class recently.

It is a large stamp and it is best to place your card stock on top of the stamp for the impression and then to gently press the paper to get the maximum coverage of ink on your paper. I find this is the best way to stamp when using a large stamp. We coloured the stamp with markers in Daffodil Delight, Gumball Green, Early Expresso, Crumb Cake and Real Red. We also used the new Gingham Garden Designer Washi tape, available in the new catalogue July 1st.

Using  one of the new colours Soft Sky

Triple Time Stamping lent itself to this big stamp quite well.

Secret Garden is a beautiful stamp set. We saw it in the  Spring/Summer catalogue and it has found its way into the main catalogue. This set has matching framelits which I shall be showcasing shortly.

We have a team training day this weekend and there are going to be 19 of us. So I have to make 19 swaps. I decided on using the new Woodgrain embossing folder as a background and the lovely single stamp image Tweet Leaves, from the Autumn Winter Catalogue. There are so many possiblities with this stamp. I decided to go with a simple design using 'inchies'. The single leaf is from the Autumn Accents Bigz die also from the Autumn Winter Catalogue and the Itty bitty banners stamp set and matching dies, which will be available from Oct 1 as it is in the new Annual Catalogue!.

This is before cutting out the small squares

The finished swap! Colours I have used are Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, Rding Hood Red, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Soft Suede.

I so like the stamp sets and dies that Stampin up has brought in that match...that is so like Stampin Up to co ordinate everything!
