A Card of Pretties

Stampin' Up!'s new Pretties Kit is so easy and fun to use, it amazed me. All of the flowers are made of a white fabric so that you can colorize them to coordinate with your project. You can use any method of coloring you want - Stampin' Write Markers, Watercolor Wonder Crayons, ink pads, Stampin' Pastels, etc. The results are truly fantastic.

Card Details:

• Stamp Sets: Warmest Regards, Brocade Basics
• Cardstock: Blush Blossom, Mellow Moss, Soft Sky
• Classic Inks: Mellow Moss, Soft Sky
• Accessories: Pretties Kit, Sherbet Ribbon Originals, Large Oval Punch, Stampin' Write Marker, Sponge

To color the large flower, I used the brush tip of a Stampin' Write marker in Blush Blossom. Just color the petals and set aside to dry - it doesn't take long at all. If you want a deeper shade, color again.

For the smaller flower, I sponged the color from the Soft Sky Classic ink pad onto the flower and let dry.

I fed the flowers through the hat pin and used a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the half-back pearl to the center.

Stamptemberfest 2007

We had such a great day last year, Sherry and I decided that we just had to do Stamptemberfest again! Let me tell you - we have some terrific things planned for you and we hope you'll be able to make room for us in your calendar.

Saturday, September 8, 2007

9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

At the home of our Stampin' Friend, Ann

The day's activities --

• An absolutely delicious menu prepared with special recipes from Tastefully Simple. Sherry always manages to keep our taste buds happy, and this year will certainly be no exception. In fact, I think she'll have some extra-special dishes for us.
• Three never-before-demonstrated (at least by me) technique classes. You'll have lots of fun learning these techniques - and the projects are so terrific, you'll want to make more at home. We have allotted additional time for each technique this year to make sure everyone gets a chance to finish their project.
• Make-n-Take cards/projects will be available if you want to keep busy while waiting for the next technique class. (There will be a per-card/project charge for each of the make-n-takes.)
• Lots and lots of Stampin' Up! and Tastfully Simple door prizes (must be present to win), and several opportunities to earn additional door prize tickets.
• A Grand Prize at the end of the day.
