Quick Tip Video: Stampin' Up! Mini Stapler

One of the fun new tools in the 2014 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog is the Handheld Stapler. With a 2" reach, you can easy add these teeny staples to any project. Make sure you order the staples to go with it because there aren't any staples included in the stapler! I created a quick video tip to show you how to load the staples in the Mini Stapler. I made up this quick card after I did the video, using the scraps I stapled in the video.

Lovely As a Tree Card Club Samples

Yesterday I shared the card that designed and brought to Card Club last week. (See it here.) Check out the cards that everyone else brought featuring Lovely As a Tree:
We inked a piece of tape across an ink pad and then applied the ink to the cardstock to create the background on this card.
 
It's hard to see in this photo, but we sponged the sky blue and the grass green and then added color to the trees with sponge daubers.

Classic Combo: Lovely as a Tree + Work of Art

Last week, I attended "Card Club" with some of my stamping friends. It's essentially a "shoebox swap" for those who are familiar with that concept. We each brought a project that was ready to stamp and then we passed the boxes around the table and took turns making each other's cards. We usually have a theme and this month, the theme was "Lovely as a Tree". This is the oldest stamp set in the current catalog. I picked it out in my Demonstrator Starter Kit over 12 years ago and it is still a favorite! Almost everyone else in our Card Club group owns this stamp set too, so it was fun to see what everyone else created. (Come back tomorrow and I will share the other samples.)

For my card, I wanted to combine a new classic with an old one. I used the Work of Art stamp set to create a monochromatic brushstroke background on these cards. Here is the first one I designed:
You can't see it well in the photo, but I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the snowy ground beneath the tree. I love the "peace & joy" greeting from the new Giggle Greetings stamp set. This stamp set will be available exclusively to hostesses when the Holiday Catalog starts later this week!
Ultimately, I decided it was a little early for Christmas, so I used up some cardstock I already had cut and picked a different tree and a different brushstroke stamp to create this masculine thank you card.
Stampin' Up! Supplies: Lovely As a Tree stamp set, Work of Art Stamp Set, Petite Pairs stamp set, Giggle Greetings stamp set, Mossy Meadow ink & cardstock, Lost Lagoon ink & cardstocck, Early Espresso ink & cardstock, Crumb Cake cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Linen Thread

Pictogram Punches: Flower Thank You Card

I just love the new In Colors! They are so rich and beautiful! I used all five colors on this card. The less obvious are the Mossy Meadow leaves and Lost Lagoon vase. I used the 2014-2016 In Color Stampin' Write Markers to color directly on the stamp. This is the second card in my August series for Stamp of the Month Club featuring the new Pictogram Punches stamp set from the Annual Catalog and the coordinating Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. See more Pictogram Punches ideas.
