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
