Winter Memories: RemARKable Stamp of the Month

Aloha!  This stamp set is a bit out of character for the Valley Isle, but I couldn’t resist the chance to share a blog tour with my favorite RemARKable stampers!  We do have cardinals here – both North American and South American – and if you put on your ruby red slippers, close your eyes and click your heels, you can imagine a little sledding party down Sliding Sands Trail into Haleakala Crater…

  • Winter Memories stamp set
  • Regals Prints Pack Designer Series paper
  • Whisper White, Soft Suede and River Rock card stock
  • Cherry Cobbler Core’dinations paper
  • Basic Black FFIP (Firm Foam Ink Pad)
  • Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Basic Grey and Soft Suede Classic ink refills
  • Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write marker
  • Aquapainter
  • Big shot and Lacy Brocade TIEF (Textured Impressions Embossing Folder)
  • Stampin’ Sanding Block
  • Always Artichoke Seam Binding
  • Crystal Effects
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals

You can’t see the Crystal Effects?  Here, I’ll show you:

There’s a light wash of Basic Grey on the boards behind the sled, and those fat little birds are just waiting for you to look away so that they can swoop down and stuff their beaks with those juicy red berries!!

Now put on your Imagination Caps and let’s picture an ice rink:

 

  • Winter Memories stamp set
  • Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso card stock
  • Early Espresso Core’dinations card stock
  • Be of Good Cheer Designer Series paper
  • Silver Glimmer Paper
  • Basic Black and Crumb Cake FFIP

  • Clear and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details
  • Big Shot and Lattice and Wood Grain TIEFs
  • Stampin’ Sanding Block
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Stampin’ Sponge
  • Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding

There’s lots of texture here with the Core’dinations paper, embossing and sponging.  I’ll warn you that tearing the Core’dinations paper especially once it’s gone through the TIEF is kinda like plucking your eyebrows (sorry guys):  it’s really easy to get carried away and then all of the sudden you’ve got nothing left!

Love this set?  It has beautiful, detailed wintery images perfect for watercolor.

More Core’dinations

Shabby chic is just a little worn, a little feminine, and a look all its own.  It’s not a style I play with often, but our Core’dinations paper just begs to be shabby:

That little bit of sparkle from the Champagne Glimmer paper and the gleam from the Brushed Bronze designer buttons are such a contrast to the distressed look of the embossed Core’dinations paper.  And look at this button and tell me you aren’t ready to hum a little Jingle Bells…

All of these shades of brown – the Early Espresso paper, the Crumb Cake tulle, the Suede taffeta ribbon, and the Champagne Glimmer paper – work together to create a deep, rich card with a lot of texture and depth despite being monochromatic.  This is an “out of the box” holiday card – but hand-made Christmas cards don’t come in boxes at all, do they?

Don’t forget our fabulous Ink-redible offer!  Build a business or buy your crafting supplies at a discount, but give this serious thought as Stampin’ Up! doesn’t extend this opportunity very often!

A little Core’dination

I realize I’m a Stampin’ Up! dork.  Someone asked me today to imagine how I would respond to something if I weren’t a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and I couldn’t do it.  Couldn’t imagine NOT being a demo.  Couldn’t imagine NOT having access to the SU website, NOT going to convention and all the other great events, not being part of the “demonstrator club”.  So it should come as no surprise What So Ever that I am doing the Happy Dance about yet another new Holiday catalog product!

  • Gently Falling and Kindness Matters stamp sets
  • Very Vanilla, More Mustard and Cajun Craze card stock
  • Early Espresso Core’dination card stock
  • Early Espresso, Canjun Craze and More Mustard Classic ink pads
  • Big Shot
  • Woodgrain TIEF
  • Window Frames Framelits
  • Regals Designer Buttons
  • Linen Thread
  • Stampin’ Sandin’ System

Oh my goodness.  LOVE this Core’dinations paper!!   LOVE that Woodgrain TIEF!!  Love the Stampin’ Sandin’ System!!  (OK, maybe I don’t love the name, but the product – yeah, baby!)  And if Stampin’ Up! ever retires the Linen Thread, I will buy up every last package in the warehouse.

The Core’dinations paper does amazing things with a TIEF.  It’s thicker than regular cardstock and has a tone-on-tone interior.  Run it through the Big Shot and you’ll see the core peep through, but hit it with that new sanding block and fabulous things take place.  This is not your grandmother’s sanding block, crafters; this is a sanding block on steroids!  And the sandy goodness attaches with velcro so you can switch out the yucky old paper for fresh, growly, chew-up-that-core’dinations paper!

Are you a Stampin’ Up! dork?  Isn’t it time you gave yourself the gift of becoming a demonstrator?  $99 for $125 worth of product PLUS a heap of business supplies…you’re worth it!   Visit www.AnneMatasci.StampinUp.net to learn all about it.
