Sneak Peek: Christmas Pines {#GDP049}

I'm playing along with the Global Design Project this week. It is a color challenge. I also thought I would use this opportunity to post a sneak peek of the new Christmas Pines stamp set from the holiday catalog. All products Stampin' Up!

If you follow my blog at all, you will know I love using stamps in unexpected ways. When I saw the new Christmas Pines stamp set, (with matching dies) I saw all kinds of possibilities other than just for the holidays. 

 Do you see as many uses for these images as I do? 

I've paired the simple pine branch image with a splattering of Basic Black Archival ink using one of my favorite stamps from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and a few of the pine branch die cuts from the matching Pretty Pines Thinlits dies. The words were stamped using images from the set called Labeler Alphabet. I love how I can stamp ANY word I want using that set. 

The Labeler Alphabet is available right now. The Christmas Pines stamps and Pretty Pines Thinlits (available as a bundle), will be available in the new holiday catalog September 1. 

I want to be your Stampin' Up! demonstrator, creative coach and inspiration. Want to earn free shipping during the month of August?? Simply place an order online with me using the hostess code above right for at least $50 before tax & shipping. (This is my promotion, not a Stampin' Up! promotion) Just after September 1, I will either mail you check or refund the shipping cost to your paypal account. Your choice. Be sure and do not check "no contact" from demonstrator. If you do that, I will not be able to see your contact information. 

As always, let me know if you have any questions about the project or the products used. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Artfully Yours,

Kim

More Swirly Bird & Swirly Scribbles (Bundle)

I'm having so much fun playing with the Swirly Bird stamps & Swirly Scribbles Thinlits. It is quite easy to create a pretty artsy looking card with very little effort. This card was inspired by a card I had pinned last fall on Pinterest using similar dies, but a different combination of colors. All products Stampin' Up!

Flirty Flamingo. Say it. Doesn't it make you want to giggle? Even a little? It is one of the new In Colors and I think it mixes quite well with Basic Gray. Add in the crispness of the Whisper White cardstock and you have a winning combination. The sentiment is from the polymer stamp set called Lovely Amazing You. I seem to use the sentiments quite often from that set. 

Supply List:

Please use the hostess code shown in the top right corner when ordering online, unless your order will total $150 before shipping & tax. At that point, you become your own hostess and get all the rewards! Remember, if you choose "no contact" from the demonstrator, I'm unable to see your name or send you a thank you note. 

As always, let me know if you have any questions about the project or the products used. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Artfully Yours,
