Hi Stampers!
I have a card for you today that is VERY simple. I made it for a challenge on SUDSOL, a Demonstrator Only group I belong to. The challenge was to use one layer of card stock and one popped up embellishment. All supplies are © Stampin' Up! I love the new set, Animal Stories, and wanted to use the owl on this card. The card base is Whisper White card stock. I drew a very light pencil line about two inches up from the bottom to make it easier to line up my owls. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to position them exactly where I wanted them. They are stamped using Summer Sun, Tempting Turquoise and Only Orange Classic inks. Once the owls were stamped, I used my Fiskar Cutter with the scoring blade to scored two lines under the owls to add a little interest. Use a soft eraser to clean up any visible pencil marks. The butterfly is from the stamp set, Flight of the Butterfly. I used Lovely Lilac Classic ink and stamped on Whisper White card stock. Using my paper snips, I trimmed around the image and cut off a small piece of Stampin' Dimensional to pop it up. The greeting is one from the set, Teeny Tiny Wishes. The stamp actually reads "hello baby", but I used my Basic Black Stampin' Write marker to ink just the word "hello". This is a new set in the catalog and I can't believe how many times I've used it. There are 24 phrases included in this set. Pair them up with the Stamp-a-ma-jig and you can position a sentiment almost anywhere.
Although I used the Classic Stampin' Pads to ink my stamps, you could easily use the Stampin' Write markers in your choice of colors to apply ink. Another choice of ink would be the Classic Stampin' Spots. These are a sets of twelve, one inch ink pads, for each of the color families. It's a great way to get lots of colors without a lot of expense.
