HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC

The first annual Stampin' Up! Getaway ... and I won it!!! My guest and I enjoyed a long weekend in September at The Westin Resort & Spa at Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. 86 degrees

Single Stamps Available ...

For a limited time only, Stampin' Up! is offering Single Stamps. These stamps are normally sold as part of certain stamp sets, but can now be purchased singly. Available in clear mount only, each single stamp is packaged in a cello bag. Recommended mounting block sizes are shown but not included so you'll need to buy a block separately if you don't already have one. Remember that this is a pilot program, so take advantage of it while you can! Don't miss the 3 never-before-seen stamps in Assortment 2! Order online via my store or email me today!

L-o-v-e that Stampin' Up! Natural Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper:

WINTER MEMORIES

I love the Natural Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! Here I used Whisper White Craft Ink and a dauber to change the tan background to white, then wiped off the embossed images with a paper towel. The card holder is easy to create, and holds 6-8 cards and envelopes. Cards were created with Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper and Window Frames Collection of Framelits Dies.

SHADOWBOX AND MATCHING CARD

I've entered my first Challenge ... PPA116 at Pals Paper Arts! And I've created my first shadowbox. I've loved the Established Elegance Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! the moment I saw it in the new catalog, so I had to use it for my shadowbox. Then I created the card using our new Simply Scored (hint, I used the debossed side so the lines would be more prominent on the card).
