The Maui Stamper

This is the last swap I made for Inspire.Create.Share, our 2014 Convention:

• Stamps:  Life’s Adventures (Hostess), And Many More
• Color Palette:  Soft Sky, Wild Wasabi, Very Vanilla, Real Red, Basic Black
• Accessories:  Fringe Scissors, Glimmer paper, Stampin’ Write markers, Zig Zag TIEF, Very Vintage Designer Buttons, Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine, Typeset DSP, Itty Bitty Accents punch pack

I used markers to get the look I wanted for the stamped image.  I hand-colored the stamp before making my impression, then went back and added the awning and the door.

This is a matchbook style card.  Cut your card stock to 4 1/4″ x 11″ and score at 3/4″ and 6″.  Your finished card will be 4 1/4″ by 5 1/4″ but trust me, no one is going to notice the difference 🙂

I love the shape of this little heart from the new Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack!  Much more contemporary than the traditional heart.

I’m also a little bit obsessed with the new Typeset DSP.  I was in serious mourning when First Editions Newsprint wasn’t continued into this catalog, but I’m relieved and delighted with this new edition!  Maps.  Print.  Design Elements.  There are loads of options, and it’s really lightweight so it is going to crumple up just beautifully.

Now to go look through all of the swaps I received in return for mine!  I feel like Uncle Scrooge on his pile of money.  Bwa ha ha ha!!!
