Stamp Review Crew: Seaside Shore

http://stampreviewcrew.blogspot.com/2017/07/seaside-shore.html

Welcome Stampers! It is the middle of July, and for us in the northern hemisphere, it is the middle of the summer. That means lots of beach time for us! Those in the southern hemisphere may have to settle for dreaming of beach time. And what better way then to stamp some ocean themed projects?! We are featuring Seaside Shore this time.

For those who are new to the Stamp Review Crew, here is a little background. We are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that gets together on the first and third Mondays of every month to do a blog hop. Each hop features a single stamp set to give you loads of inspiration for that set! The hops are archived at the Stamp Review Crew blog, and you will be able to click through each hop at any time, going directly to the posts for that hop whenever you want! And you can click on the banner of this post to go to the master blog roll for this hop also.

If you are hopping along in order, I am the first stop on the hop! If you started somewhere in the middle, then you just arrived from Adriana Benitez's blog. Welcome back Adriana! We are excited to see you hopping with us again :)

Seaside Shore and Marbled stamps from Stampin Up were used to create this bright and bold card. Need a demonstrator? You can find me by clicking on this photo!

Now this is a very colorful card! I was playing with this idea to create all sorts of colorful fish without having to carefully color all of them. I decided to take some watercolor paper and lay down a wash of Pool Party and dry it. Then add splotched of roughly fish sized and shaped color with an Aqua-painter. Dried that with the heat tool too. Then stamped with Marbled background stamp with Pool Party ink. And finally, stamped the fish in Archival Black.
I have also discovered that the Fine-Tip Glue Pen does a mighty fine job of attaching vellum to cardstock. 😁

I added some colorful fish to the inside also.

When I think masculine and sea, I think fisherman's sweater. So the Cable Knit embossing folder, Wood Textures DSP, and Seaside Shore stamps from Stampin Up got to play together on this masculine card! Do you need a demonstrator? Find me by clicking on this photo!

Next I wanted to use the anchor stamp with the Cable Knit embossing folder and Wood Textures DSP. I think they make a lovely masculine card!

The ghosting technique is used here to create an ombre effect for the fishie friends. There is a video link in the post with this card. Seaside Shore and Just Add Text stamps sets from Stampin Up played well together here, don't you think? Colos used: Soft Sky, Pool Party, Bermuda Bay. Do you need a demonstrator? Find me by clicking on this photo!

Bermuda Bay

Pool Party

Soft Sky

Since I have been thoroughly enjoying the ghosting technique, I gave it a go here with a similar layout to the first card. The sentiment is from Just Add Text.

I threw in some bubbles on the inside of this one!

OK, that's it for me! It is time to go check out what Juana Ambida has created! I am humbled by her talent every single time!

Carols of Christmas: Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

It is Artisan Design Team blog hop time again, and this time we are featuring the early release Holiday Mini stamp set and dies Carols of Christmas! Getting them as a bundle saves you 10%. I love it when we can get a taste of the new products early. And you are going to want to get this bundle as soon as you can! It has loads of possibilities. I can't wait to have another play session with this bundle. I am definitely not done with it yet.

There are three ways to get this stamp set.

Demonstrators can pre-order the stamp set or the bundle. Yeah for demo perks!
Not a demo? Sign up in July and the stamp set is part of an additional Essentials Gift Pack in the starter kit worth an extra $72. For the US, the pricing is $99 for $197 worth of product ($125 you pick + the $72 Essentials Gift Pack) and a bundle of business supplies valued at $50. Talk about a great deal! Do you want to join with me now? 😀
Customers can get this set in August, and you can earn Bonus Days coupons towards the set or bundle with your purchases during the July Bonus Days events. For every $50 in product, you earn a $5 coupon towards purchases in August!

Check out the stamp set! It has lots of pieces that can go together, or be used alone. Two gorgeous sentiments are included, and there will be lots of ways to use them with other stamp set as well.

The dies are amazing too! I wish I had a picture of those... but trust me, you want them!

If you did not start here, then you may have arrived from the gifted Sylwia Schreck's blog. I am certain she was inspiring!

The banner at the top of this post is perfect for my projects, and you will quickly see why 😁

Want a sneak peek of the gorgeous Carols of Chrismas stamp set and thinlits bundle? Check out the three ways you can get it for yourself!

These were all created on the first day I played with this bundle. Oh. My. Gosh! You are going to love this bundle. There is so much versatility packed in it. I was just playing with the tree dies and created a stencil. Then I used it with the Embossing Paste. LOVE!

Embossing paste + the Stampin' Up! Carols of Christmas stamp set and dies, and some Wood Textures designer series paper, AND the Pine Planks embossing folder.

These 3 projects were all created with a single 6"x6" piece of the Wood Textures DSP. Nothing terribly special about the Embossing Paste technique here, just applied it to DSP. The birthday greeting is from the Icing On The Cake stamp set.

Dazzling Diamonds over Embossing paste on Color Theory DSP, and featuring the Stampin' Up! Carols of Christmas stamp set and dies

For this one, I sprinkled on some Dazzling Diamonds glitter while the Embossing Paste was still wet. SO sparkly and pretty in real life! And did you notice that the large sentiment fits in the Stitched Shapes circle? Sigh...it makes my heart flutter! I stitched a line in the center of the circle to secure it, and that almost blends in completely 😊

Embossing paste allowed to dry and sponged with Tranquil Tides and the Carols of Christmas stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up! create a fun card for the hunters in your life.

And this time I let the Embossing Paste dry for 15-20 minutes, then I laid the stencil back over it. Then I sponged on some Tranquil Tide ink. What a beautiful shade of green for the pines! I love the textured look this achieves! The "Happy Birthday" is from the Butterfly Basics stamp set. Some of the little deer die cuts are popped up with the Mini Dimensionals. Perfect size!

I recently was challenged to use the Labeler Alphabet set, and am glad I was! I did an internet search for hunters blessings, and found this as part of a larger poem by ErnestE.

I hope this has inspired you to play with this bundle, and I can't wait to see what the rest of the Artisan Design Team has come up with! If you started somewhere in the middle, off you go to Allison's blog! If you started there, I am the last stop :)
