Vintage Apothecary Arts

Hi my stamping friends!

Time to share a card with you that is a little bit vintage. I am loving these Label shaped framelits and the Apothecary arts set. It's so simple to use them together for a beautiful effect. You just stamp your image and then place the frame over the image and run it through the big shot to cut it out.

Apothecary arts is a beautiful set for watercolouring. Here I have used a combination of Stampin' write markers and aquapainter to colour the image.

I have also embossed the Crumb cake cardstock with my favourite, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and sponged it lightly with Whisper white craft ink. 

The ribbon is the Chantilly crochet trim, only available until August 31, 2012 and is finished off with a charming rhinestone brad.



Don't forget to place your order for retiring items. Some items have sold out already!

Happy Stamping!
Love,
Claire  

New mini and a stamping class!

Hi my stamping Friends!!

It's April! Time for a new mini catalogue! YAY!
Oh and it's so beautiful... please click the link to the right of this post to see the lovely new Autumn-Winter mini catalogue. I had to seriously hold myself back from buying almost everything in this one!

Below I have a little card which uses a few new products!

We have a gorgeous new set of diecutting frames for the big shot. They are called Framelit labels and come in a set of 6 so you can cut out and layer them! And, of course, it wouldn't be Stampin'up! without a co-ordinating stamp set! The lovely Apothecary Art set works delightfully with the framelits. The stamp set includes four label shaped stamps of different sizes and two greetings, "Happiest birthday"and "So grateful".



In this next photo you may also notice some divine new pleated satin ribbon in Baja breeze as well as that dainty little patterned paper down the bottom there which is from the Twitterpated range that includes DSP (Designer series papers), Designer fabric, some flowery little designer buttons in Blushing bride and Baja breeze and of course that ribbon! Yummo!

 

You can see here I have also had some fun with the Vintage wallpaper and Square lattice embossing folders and the sweet little Scallop trim border punch. The little flower comes from the Boho bossoms punch and has a little pearl as the centre.
The colours used on this card are Whisper white, Lucky limeade, Basic Gray, Calypso coral, Poolparty (marker), Baja breeze (ribbon and DSP).

I will be running a stamping class next Thursday evening, April 19th at 7:30pm. And this is one of the cards we will be making on the night. If you can make it along please RSVP by April 16th.

Thanks for looking and Happy Stamping!
Love Claire
