West Philly Stamper

Happy Moments stamp set in Various Purples

I've become so spoiled by Stampin' Up!'s colors. The fact that they match the ink and ribbon perfectly makes paper crafting so much easier, and there is such variety and they are so incredibly rich!!! The first card uses Orchid Opulence (quite an under-utilized color in my stash), with Elegant Eggplant and Certainly Celery.

#2 features one of my favorite combos - Elegant Eggplant and Almost Amethyst, #3 - Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo. And the thing I really like about these cards - three great layouts that are easy to tweak with other images and colors!

If you like them too, feel free to CASE (Copy and Share Everything/Copy and Selectively Edit/Copy and Steal Everything), and email me a picture. I can share your version in the coming weeks!

More Vintage Vogue

I've got some more samples for you made with this fabulous stamp set! I think my Philly Inkers team is probably getting tired of me raving about it...By the way, it's available in Stampin' Up!'s new clear mount stamps, or in the wood mounted version!

The first one includes another shape you can make with the Top Note die! Ask me for more info on that. The third one features Stampin' Up!'s brushed gold card stock, so beautiful!

Happy Moments (stamp set) makes me happy

This Sale-a-Bration freebie choice (Happy Moments) is one of my favorites. It has 4 cute images, and 3 great sentiments. I've only just begun to explore its potential:0) I know I use that expression a lot...Here are a few I've done so far. The second one is an (almost exact) version of Julie Davison's card. She is another Stampin' Up! demonstrator I know. We met in Hawaii on the Stampin' Up! trip last spring. She has a daughter a couple weeks older than my little guy, and she had brought her along too:0)

"Vintage Vogue" is in Vogue

That's my opinion anyway! This stamp set is so versatile and elegant. Hope you enjoy these samples!

The first one is inspired by Lisa Freeman. The last one is gold embossing (with the Occasions mini wheel that coordinates with Vintage Vogue) on Stampin' Up!'s brushed gold cardstock, (so simple), and it looks awesome in real life! I got that brilliant idea from a Philly Inker of mine...Ilina Crouse:0)

Vintage Vogue and some polar bears:0)

Happy New Year! I know this title might seem random, but I've been stampin' up a storm at my stampin' desk lately, and this is the beginning of what I'll be showing you over the next few months:0) The polar bears are made with punches, and were inspired by a card I saw on Lynn Pratt's blog. Her polar bear card is a holiday card. My version is more of a Valentine card, for a kid from a parent:0)

The second card is the first of about 20 cards I've already made with Vintage Vogue, a stamp set in the Occasions Mini catalog, due to go live Jan. 5, along with an almost 3 month-long 2010 Sale-a-Bration promotion! I told my Philly Inkers it's the stamp set I've been waiting for all my life and didn't know it!
