I’m so excited for the new January – June Mini catalog and freebies with Sale-a-bration during January and February! I’m highlighting one of the FREE items you can get with any purchase of $100. It’s a stamp and paper bundle: Friendly Hello Stamp Set and Friendly Hello DSP! The colors are so soft in this DSP. I love to play with a new stamp set using the coordinating colors that artisan designers have already picked out in the DSP. It takes the pressure off of me to get the colors right. Later when I’ve played with it more I’ll try some bright and bold colors.
For my first play with this awesome bundle, I pulled out my Water Painters, which I sometimes forget about. It’s so easy to look like a pro with our Fluid 100 watercolor paper and some ink. When the lids are closed on our unique Stampin’ ink pads you can give them a firm squeeze to get some ink in the lid. Then when you open the ink pad you have a watercolor palette all ready to use for watercoloring! Simply lift the color up with the Water Painter and apply to the Stazon inked image on the Fluid 100 watercolor paper. I also picked up a bit of watery Granny Apple Green and flicked it across my card to get a splatter effect and then came in with very watered-down Granny Apple Green to go around the image to simulate the hint of a tree behind.
I used my Stamparatus to make sure I got a good imprint on my watercolor paper. Stazon dries very quickly and with the texture of the watercolor paper, it is sometimes hard to get a solid print the first time around. The Stamparatus is perfect for stamping exactly in the same place multiple times to get a perfect imprint.
Another new product I’m using on this card is the new Iridescent Rhinestones! They are beautiful. They are shown in the mini catalog along with the Sweet Talk suite on pages 8-9. Some other annual catalog favorites used on this card are shown in the links below. There is no link yet to the SAB items. They will only be available for free with a qualifying purchase between January 4 – February 28.
If you are in the US and do not already have a demonstrator I would be happy to send you a complimentary set of catalogs. Please fill out this CATALOG REQUEST FORM. Have a happy day and #spreadthejoy of card making by sending a card today!
