Abstract Impressions One Sheet Wonders

I haven't made One-Sheet Wonders in a long time!  I used to make them constantly.  As you've seen recently, I really LOVE the Impressionist Suite from this catalog!

So, I started with one sheet of Whisper White, and stamped it full!
The purple flower colors are:  Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, and Rich Razzleberry.  The leaves are Granny Apple Green stamped off, and Pear Pizzazz.  I also added Pool Party flowers as filler.

Sentiment:  Itty Bitty Greetings

 Once cut, you end up with four card fronts! 

 I used Around the Corner again to help make the card interior more interesting.

Sentiment: Treat Time

The Tulle ribbon has a little sparkle!

Sentiment:  Seasoned with Kindness

Sentiment:  Hand Delivered

From one 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, I've got 4 cards, an Anniversary, Thinking of You, Happy Birthday, and a congratulations card.  Completely different occasions - one stamping.  I used the dies from Stitched Labels Framelits to add sentiments and some interest.  I also used the floral die cut on the Anniversary and congratulations cards to add more detail.

Stamparatus Showcase and ATC

I have a Stamparatus.  I LOVE my Stamparatus!  I showed 3 demonstrations of the Stamparatus at our New Catalog Launch.  Here are two ways to use the Stamparatus.

First, I showed the template stamping in order to make this wreath.

This wreath card would be IMPOSSIBLE to stamp without the Stamparatus.  (In my opinion.)  Following some demonstrators lead, I made a template and have made many of these wreaths.  You'll see them pop up here as we go. 

Then, I showed the two plates and four stamping surfaces with the Hello stamp.

This stamp set is called Ready to Layer.  I loved it the moment I saw it too.  *Wow, I've said that a lot with this new catalog.  There are many things to love about the new catty!
This is actually one of my ATC swaps ready to go for the end of the month  I sponged 3 of the new In-Colors Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, and Pineapple Punch on the background carefully blending them so I didn't get any lines.  I then stamped the HELLO using all the In-Colors except the Pineapple Punch.  I was afraid it wouldn't show as well as the other 4.
Stamped Colors:  Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover, Grapefruit Grove, Lovely Lipstick

With two plates, and 4 sides on the Stamparatus, you can line up these four stamps one time, and stamp away!

SPECIAL OFFER:  Order the Stamparatus from me, and I will send you the template for making the wreath above.  It can be used with almost any stamp that will fit within the space given.

Abstract Impressions and Garden Impressions DSP. I am in LOVE!

Quite a few years ago, Stampin' Up! had a watercolor paper called Painted Petals.  I loved that paper so very very much - and I'm grateful as well because it started my Stamp Club!

 I think I've found its equal.  I LOVE the Garden Impressions DSP (Designer Series Paper) and the stamp set so much! 

 Get ready - you're going to see it very often this year! 

 These two cards, above using Shaded Spruce as the background and Flirty Flamingo flowers - and the card below uses Gorgeous Grape as the paper and flowers were showcased in two places.  First at my retirement party, (Stampin' Up! Retirement) and at our New Catalog Launch event.

 Isn't this paper absolutely gorgeous?

 I hope you love this paper as much as I do!  It's so beautiful, and has so many possibilities!

 Almost unlimited paper combinations and possibilities!

 These two, above and below show more than the blues... Mango Melody, Soft Seafoam, Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral....   so pretty!

This was the card I featured at the New Catalog Launch.  It uses none of the DSP - just the stamp set and a punch.

 These are not finished - they still need a sentiment and a little sparkle.  I just wanted to show what the die cut looked like with just some sponged ink to add color. 

 On this Happy Birthday below I used the DSP and die cut the Happy Birthday, then used the 'scrap' as a mat.  I then embossed the bottom piece to give it some dimension.

I hope you enjoyed this little tour of the new Garden Impressions DSP, and the stamp set Abstract Impressions. 
Some of my card designs were inspired by Linda Allen, a fellow demo.  They really caught my attention, and then I made them my own.
