One of the perks of being on the Stampin' Up! Alaska cruise is that everything who earned it received the new catalog! And, one of the pillow gifts was a new stamp set called Best of Everything. I made up four notecards so you can see most of the stamps in the set, along with all of the incoming In Colors for 2011-2013.
The card stock is a new In Color called Pool Party. I used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder on the front, and stamped the "made for you" in Calypso Coral, punching it out with the Curly Label Punch. I stamped the image again, this time in Island Indigo, and used the medium oval punch for the middle, adhering it with dimensionals. For the flower, I punched the Postage Stamp Punch twice on Calypso Coral card stock, then used the bone folder to break down the fibers till they split, giving a Faux Suede feel. I gathered and crumped the squares, added a glimmer brad and adhered the flower with a dimensional. Shelli showed us this flower in the general session on the ship. Cute, eh?
This is a plain white notecard with the truck from Countryside stamped in Island Indigo. It feels like a nice man card to me. And Island Indigo looks like a great denim/blue jean color. I used the Curly Label and Medium Oval punchesd on the word image and kept it simple.
The Best of Everything has this cute bird in it, along with the tree. I stamped the tree in the new In Color Lucky Limeade, and the bird in Wisteria Wonder (another new In Color). There's a little piece of 3/8" Ruffled Wisteria Wonder ribbon on there, along with a Brights Button and white Baker's Twine.
This notecard shows a flower and word stamp in the Best of Everything stamp set. I used Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade ink and card stock, along with Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie markers for the bird.
I'll be able to do a bit more once my Sneak Peek order arrives. I'll have the new In Color markers, plus a couple of new punches! I love punches!!!
