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

  • Wow; Mixed Florals Reverse Image Technique with window sheets!


    I'm continuing to share our July team swaps featuring window sheets. 

    Look at the stunning card made by Paula. For her card swap she made a Reverse Image technique cased from Kylie Bertucci.  

    The stamp & die bundle is called Mixed Florals and can be seen here.

    She used Crushed Curry for her card base and Floral Impressions designer paper.  I'm so impressed by her gorgeous coloring with the Blends markers!  What pretty shading she achieved! 

    Below you can see how she also colored the reverse side so when you flipped up the card front it's just as pretty on the inside!  So neat.  I also love the diagonal slant on the front. 

    The card opens to reveal 3 layers!  

    Measurements:

    • Crushed Curry card base- 1 at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2", another at 7 1/4" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" (cut on the diagonal) and two extra slat pieces to cover both front & inside of the card. 
    • DSP – 4" X 5 1/4" X 3 pieces
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; plus die-cuts 


    Thanks so much for your creative & beautiful card Paula!

    Look at this super cute tractor card Candace made!  This bundle has some amazing pieces in it.  

    This new Tractor & Co bundle is from our Online store and can be found here.  

    Here's the inside view where you can see how she trimmed a portion of her card front away to create the window effect. *She'd normally stamp or add to the inside but she had to rush to get them mailed out in time.  

    Measurements:

    • White card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2". Trim away 1 3/8" from the center 
    • Navy layers – top is 5 1/4" X 1 3/8", lower is 5 1/4" X 1 1/4"
    • White torn edge 5" X 1"
    • scraps for tractor & tree die-cuts

    Her colors & sponging are amazing as usual.  She used Silver foil for her tire rims and clear rhinestones for the starry sky.
