I needed a quick and elegant card for a friend. This was so easy to create but so beautiful to look at. I love the new Wildflower Embossing Folder. This is one of my favorite new accessories from the NEW catalog. It can be bought as a bundle with the matching stamp set. Remember you can order from the NEW catalog on June 1st.  Don't you love the Smokey Slate Cardstock!   (I wonder what it will look like with Cherry Cobbler!   OH MY!)

Focus on the Negative

by ktstamps, 6:28 AM

Focus on the Negative?


Focus on the positive. That’s a wonderful perspective to maintain in our daily lives. But just for today, I’d like you to focus on the negative. Negative space, that is.

Leaving negative space on a project is a hot trend in the world of paper crafting right now. When you remove an image, you include the paper it was cut from. I know many of us have seen cards with text cut out and patterned paper peeking through from behind. That’s a perfect example of negative space.

I experimented with this technique today and I’d love to show you the results. 


I love how easy it is to use the Secret Garden Stamp Set and the Secret Garden Collection Framelits Dies to create a bouquet of flowers. But do you notice how placing the flower over the negative space adds an interesting detail to this card?  Utilizing negative space is an exciting new way to create with all of your Framelits Dies.

Can you imagine the possibilities?

Punches are also fun to use for this technique. The negative image of the “butterfly”  looks as if it’s soaring among the clouds. 


It took only a few minutes to create this card.

I know you’ll enjoy giving this technique a try!

Remember tomorrow is the last day to order...then the new catalog comes out!   I am sooooo EXCITED.   You will love the new stamps!

Thank you for stopping by!

I love this card! It uses the the smashed soda pop tops and the Best of Stamp sets. This is the February set and the lips are the new stamp among the older stamps you have seen before.

Hello All!

by ktstamps, 7:22 AM
I found this short article from Bonnie T at the main office and I wanted to share this with you.

Hello All!
I’m Bonnie T. At Stampin’ Up!, my main job is working with teams that educate and spoil our demonstrators—the Demonstrator Training team and the Special Events team. I’m also a demonstrator.
I love working at Stampin’ Up! because there’s so much energy here; I love being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator because I feel that energy when I share my ideas with customers.  I hope you love your job, too!

pinwheels

I wanted to share some cards I put together last night. The annual catalog ends this month and I love the Pinwheels on Parade Simply Scrappin’ Kit, so I thought I’d use it as inspiration. For only $21.95 USD/$26.95 CAN, you can make 16 cards with lined envelopes! I hope you like the cards—if you do, make sure you order online  right away—there are less then two weeks to get this kit. Order your kit now!
Oh, and tell her (or him) that Bonnie loves her (or him).

I told you that I would create a video on the technique called Braiding Ribbon...well months went by and my 50 year old plus age just forgot until I got a comment on "WHERE IS THAT VIDEO!!"   I am so sorry my words and actions don't match!   I got my stuff together and edited the video I already had taped.   It still needs some help!   But bear with me, I get so nervous doing these videos!
