Scrapping with Stampin' Up!

Everyone* got very excited earlier in the week when it was announced that Stampin' Up! will be launching an exclusive Project Life range in the 2014/15 catalogue, but here's a reminder that SU already do really great scrapbooking products!

I'm currently working on my Mini Memories Simply Created album (133332). I'll post a video & some pics in the next couple of days. It's turned out really nice, perfect for small photos.

*that would be me. Yeah...sorry about that.

Positively Chevron Hello card

 

I made this card and you can too! Just don't, y'know, SMUDGE RED INK ALL OVER IT LIKE I DID!!

Yes, I did get ink where it shouldn't be. But then I went and rescued it! 

Remember, stampers, there ARE no mistakes, only new opportunities to stick things over other things.

This is why I love papercrafts, You can spend ages on something & then make a mistake & still find a way to make it right :)

Products used:

Positively Chevron stamp

Chevron Border punch

Simply Stars stamp set

Simply Celebrate stamp set

Perfect Pennants stamp set

Real Red ink

Basic Gray ink

Basic Black marker

Whisper White cardstock

Smoky Slate cardstock

Sponge!!

A useful tool for applying ink to paper, edges and even stamps, the Stampin' Up! ink applicator sponges (101610) come in packs of three for £3.25. But you can cut them into wedges and make 24 applicators. You'll want to have a sponge for each ink pad colour to avoid contaminating ink colours. Trust me,  a blue sponge dabbed onto a yellow ink pad will give you nothing but a green stain and a seething hatred for the world!
