Stampin' Up! Send Me Soaring

Don't you love the release of a new Mini Catalog? New images, new embellishments and tons of ideas on how to use them! In just a few days, the Occasions Mini will kick off and - let me warn you - it is full of creative goodies ranging in style and occasion.

A fun way to get a fresh batch of ideas and see the new items in use is to participate in swaps. Recently, I participated in a small swap with Laura Pinto and a group of 6 other demonstrators. What are swaps, you ask? Each person sends multiples of the same card to the coordinator, she then collates them and sends one of each back to each participant. It is a fabulous way to share ideas and have fun with other stampers! Try it.... you'll like it :)

Here is the sample I made for this swap, using our new Send Me Soaring stamp set.



Project Details:
  • This kite image is one of six included in the set. Other images include the clouds, a tail with bows, string and three sentiments (including the one shown here).
  • The Designer Series Paper you see on the left is from the Twitterpated collection. So many great prints in this pack!
  • The tail of my kite was created using 3 different colors of Baker's Twine. Two of the bows were made using new color offerings: Island Indigo and Lucky Limeade.  (Cherry Cobbler was released previously.) A little drop of Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive is all it took to adhere them in place.
  • The Stripes embossing folder you see on the Island Indigo layer is currently available in our Idea Book & Catalog. But guess what? You can get it for FREE during Sale-a-bration! See you on the 24th :)

changed the comment setting to "anyone" - hopefully that will give you the options you were looking for. Thanks!

p.s. also adjusted the "search" feature in the upper right corner, it will now search this blog correctly.
