Another Pictogram Punches Swap

Today’s post will be short and sweet since it has been a busy week and I’m getting ready for my Blue Mountain Stampers’ Weekend Getaway today. I love these weekends since they are a time to share ideas and creative energy with my fellow demos. If it is something you’d like to know more about contact me and I’d be happy to share with you  how to join in the fun.

Anyhow – on to today’s card. I love the mono-chromatic look and today’s swap from convention fits the bill. Lisa created this card using different shades of purple – and who doesn’t like purple, right? It’s always been one of my favorite colors. I even did my bedroom in purple as a teen.

Lisa used the Pictogram Punches stamp set to create the focal point on the card – clever huh? I love the versatility of this stamp set. It is a great year round choice for all kinds of occasions. You can see the black & white card using this set HERE.

Black & White World of Dreams

Well, I’m back after another whirl wind college campus tour today – this time Georgia State. Wow, what a difference between Georgia State and West Georgia. There is lots to think about. But mean while as promised here is the last Black & White convention swap that I’ll be sharing.

This card uses the NEW World of Dreams set found on page 127 in the 2014 Catalog. This one was one of my favorites as soon as I saw the catalog. Love the images and the sentiments and since it is a silhouette set it opens up all kinds of techniques that can be used for projects.

World of Dreams Convention swap 2014

 

I also love the fact that this card uses another of the patterns from the Back to Black Designer Series Paper. Makes these black & white cards so easy. And isn’t the sentiment’s font great? This sentiment  comes from the Project Life Remember This set, which is full of great sentiments for all kinds of occasions.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: World of Dreams (134183/134186), Project Life Remember This (135786), Petite Petals (133152/133155)

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (132708)

Paper: Back to Black Designer Series Paper (133700), Basic Black (121045), and Whisper White Card Stock (100730), 2 way Glue Pen (100425)

Donna used our White Stampin’ Chalk Marker (132133) to add the color to the edges of the largest flower.  I’m hoping you can see the shading and depth this added to the flower, with the rain photos are tough right now.

Black & White Convention Swaps

Over the next few days I’ll be sharing some of the Black and White cards that I received from my Convention swaps. Black and White cards are always classic and a great way to start stamping since it doesn’t require a lot of supplies.

Traveler Convention swap 2014

This card was made using the Traveler stamp set, one of my favorites! I love the way that Cheryl used the Just Sayin’ stamp set to add the sentiment – how about you? It adds a taste of contemporary to these classic sets.

Want to see my Black & White card? I used the Traveler stamp set too – click HERE to see my swap.

Blue Ribbon

I think everyone should have a stamp set that is fun for kids and easy to use. I think Blue Ribbon could be that set. Not only is it very versatile, but it’s easy enough for your child to use with you. Anything with a coordinating punch is a lot of fun. And not only does the Blue Ribbon set coordinate with punches, and our Designer Series Paper, World Spectacular, but it also coordinates with our Bitty Banners Framelits – now who doesn’t love our new Framelits, they are sooo easy to use!

I don’t know about you but my guys are always willing to punch things out. So that makes the Blue Ribbon stamp set almost fool proof, since you don’t have to worry about making sure things are straight.

Here is a card I received from Amy at convention using the Blue Ribbon Stamp set – isn’t it great?

Blue Ribbon

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Blue Ribbon

Inks: Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, and Daffodil Delight

Paper: World Spectacular DSP, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, and Daffodil Delight and Very Vanilla

Accessories: 1 3/8″ Circle Punch, 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch, Paper Snips, Big Shot and the Argyle Embossing Folder
