Pizzazz Razzleberry Hydrangea

I haven't added any words to this card yet but decided to upload it anyway.  I sometimes make cards and don't stamp the words on them until the day I use them.  This card features the hostess level 1 stamp set Because I Care.  This stamp set is one of the items on Stampin' Up!'s "Last Chance" stamp set list.  If you place a qualifying order of $200.00 or more you could receive this set as your hostess stamp set. 

This set was a freebie choice when we purchased our first demonstrator order last year when the 2010 & 2011 Idea Book and Catalogue came out.  Sometimes Stampin' Up! does special stuff like that for their demonstrators.  I have had lot of fun playing and demonstrating with this stamp set this year.  I especially like using the flower with shimmer paint and re-inkers.  If you look close to the picture you will see a shine to it.  I put a couple of drops of Champagne Shimmer Paint and a couple of drops of Rich Razzleberry re-inker in an empty brad container, then I mixed them both together and applied the mixture to my stamp with a sponge dauber.  The Shimmer Paint gives the image a nice shiny look.

Playful Pieces Thank You

A couple of nights ago I was stamping with a new stamp set I got.....Playful Pieces.  You will find this stamp set in Stampin' Up!'s 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue under their hostess benefits...that is right this is a level 3 hostess stamp set.  Yeah!  I am so glad that I took the opportunity to purchase it (it was available to Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as a pre-order before the new Idea Book was released).  I can't say enough about this stamp set.  On page 15 of the IB&C (Idea Book & Catalogue) you will find this stamp set...look at all of the card samples they have made with this set.  I actually made my own version of the cards found there.  For the cards I made I used Stampin' Up!'s new in-colors combined with their new core colors.  This card features Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait, Concord Crush and Blushing Bride Stampin' Write Markers along with Early Espress and Crumb Cake card stock.  Being  I don't have any new ribbon YET I used a Pretty In Pink 5/8" Satin Ribbon to finish the card off.  I am quite pleased with the way this card turned out.  I must make some more of these to have on hand.
