Morning Star


Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet?  It's called Morning Star (seen here) and is one of Stampin' Up!'s distinktive type of stamps. This means you can get multiple hues of color with just one inking.  It's amazing!  

It is retiring next week so if you'd like it, get it now! Here's a few cards I created when playing with it.  I think this set has been a bit of a sleeper; lost among the many favorite in the 2020 January-June catalog.  

Here I used Old Olive and Gorgeous Grape; one of my favorite green and purple combos.  Because this stamp set is photopolymer you can easily stamp the images just where you want them, placing them perfectly.

Here are the measurements and supplies:

  • Old Olive 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • Regals designer paper 5 1/4" X 1 7/8"
  • Gorgeous Grape 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
  • White 4 1/2" X 3 3/8"
  • Label Me Fancy Punch, Grape striped ribbon, dimensionals, mini glue dots 

Here's another simple card made with this pretty stamp set this time in green & blue: 

I chose to use Pear Pizzazz with Night of Navy here.  This is our Neutrals designer paper pack and it is already out of stock.  It was on the Last Chance list seen here.  I'll miss these pretty patterns although we are getting new packs of 6" designer paper in the upcoming catalog.

Measurements:

  • Pear Pizzazz 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Navy designer paper 5 1/4" X 2"
  • White – 5 1/4" strip for the Ornate Style die-cut
  • White 3 1/4" X 2 1/2"
  • Navy 3 1/2" X 3"
  • Ornate Style dies, Olive/Terracotta Tile 1/4" ribbon, Noble Peacock rhinestones

  • Counting Sheep with the Give it a Whirl dies interactive card


    We made this adorable card at my August card clubs this month.  It features the new Counting Sheep & the Sheep dies from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

    Plus it's a view-master card! Remember those?  The Give it a Whirl dies (seen here) on page 163 of the annual catalog are incredible!  I was hesitant to even try using these dies because I thought it would be so complicated to figure out.  But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and intuitive they are to use. Stampin' Up! really did these up smart! 

    Please watch my video below to catch my quick tips for a successful view-master card. 

    The colors here are Pale Papaya, Balmy Blue, White, Crumb Cake & Granny Apple Green.  We created a background using the Blending Brushes with Balmy Blue & Granny Apple Green ink. 


    ***Heads up on the Sheep dies – Stampin' Up! has a limited supply of these and does expect to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over.  So if you're wanting both the stamp set & dies, get the dies first! 


    Details:

    • Sheep dies include the fence, balloons and the sheep
    • Give it a Whirl dies – stitched view-master sponged layer, the scalloped circle, clouds, window & stars 
    • I cut the scalloped circle piece from thick White CS since it would get a lot of activity
    • You will need brads & Stampin' Dimensionals for this card to work 

    I used light Petal Pink and Gray Granite blends to color the sheep. 


    And below is the video; this card is so fun!
