August Updates
Hello Stampers! When I flipped the calendar to August, it reminded me (unfortunately) the end of summer is nearing, schools are starting, and all the fun traditions of fall are coming soon. I don't want to wish summer away too soon though, so I hope you enjoy the sunshine and some fun, creative, relaxation time this month! Bonus Days Codes August also means it's time to shop with Bonus Days rewards earned in July. Yay - free stampin' goodies!

Celebrating with Time for Tags
Hello Stampers! There's a really versatile host set in Stampin' Up!'s Annual Catalog called Time for Tags. It has a variety of sentiments and pairs with the Timeless Label Punch. For this card, I also used the brand-new Delightful Tag Topper Punch and the In Color (Call Me Clover, Pineapple Punch and Blueberry Bushel) 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper stacks. I colored the images using Stampin' Up!'s Stampin' Write Markers. It's a fun, colorful card that can be shared with anyone, but especially those who love hot air balloons. You can earn this stamp set and pay just $12.50 when you host a qualifying party (or order) of $150. Ask me how! Thanks...
Pretty Pressed Petals
Hello Stampers! Tucked on page 172 of Stampin' Up!'s Annual Catalog is a really cool product --- Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape. It's a two-roll package, but the one roll is so different than any other washi tape I've used before. It peels off in petals so you can create your own flowers! How fun is that? I started with a white 1/2-inch circle and peeled the petals off the roll one by one. I affixed the centers onto the circle until I had created a flower. You can use the embossing buddy on the back of the flower to prevent the flower from totally sticking to your paper. One roll contains about 100 petals allowing you to create...
Stunning Stargazing
Hello Stampers! Here's a second card I created using Stampin' Up!'s Stargazing stamp set now available in Stampin' Up!'s new Annual Catalog. Like I wrote in a previous post, I was, at first, stumped at what to create. But I kept playing around, and here's the result. I started with a piece of Shimmery White card stock. I stamped the "swirly" image with Versamark ink onto the paper three to four times. I applied the new Shimmer White Embossing Powder and heated with a Heat Tool. I highly recommend purchasing this Shimmer White Embossing Powder. It gives off such a shine! It is definitely a "wow"! I then used an Aqua Painter and applied a...

However, this customer wanted me to use Stampin' Up!'s Stargazing stamp set. I found a few ideas on Pinterest, but...
