Inkin with Val

It was high time I got these done for my Daughter-in-Law (boy it feels strange to say that instead of son's Girlfriend, but really really cool ) She was able to hand them all out and cross one more thing off her list. I stamped these using bashful blue cardstock ballet blue cardstock bashful blue classic ink bashful blue stampin' write marker Year after Year Stamp set accessories: brads, punches, hemp and gingham ribbon As you can see, the dark faux buttons were created using first the1/16"punch and cutting 2 holes, and then the 1/2" circle punch around them. This created a "button" look to accent the cards. Give it a try, maybe even emboss them first...

Good Morning everyone, Just thought you all might like to see what we did on Club night this past week. Everyone had their own ideas for what they wanted to use the card for, so every card turned out different. This is absolutely fantastic as it shows the "Artistic License" that each individual has when stamping. This is exactly what I want to see when you stamp with me. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind direct copying if you don't have any ideas right at the moment, the idea of my classes is to "SPARK" your creativity so even if you copy and take it home and then use the idea for another project, I have reached my objective :) Here then are my samples that everyone used for their own creativity. (I even copied one of the gal's for the Christmas Tree one... ;) Thanks Debbie!) This is one of the new sets this year and I think I am in love with it. I ordered it for the Stampin' Up! pre-view prior to the new catalog coming out, but have only used it ...
