Perfectly Plaid - Stamp Review Crew

November 29, 2020

Welcome to the Perfectly Plaid Edition of Stamp Review Crew. This set is a trusted favorite and I was glad to see it stick around in the Stampin’ Up! catalog for another year.

The card I create today is simple! The tree punch shape is the star of the show. The ‘love and joy’ sentiment are taken from the larger greeting in this set ‘May this special season be wrapped in love and joy’. It’s easy to use parts of stamp greetings, simply ink up the portion of the stamp you want to use. You can do this with markers or by taping off the words you don’t want to use when inking. Just remember to remove the inked tape before you stamp.

December 9, 2019

Hello! Welcome to another Global Design Project challenge. Our theme this week is O’ Christmas Tree. There are loads of stamp sets with tree images that you could turn into a Christmas tee so I know you can play along with us!

I used the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper to make this card. Do you go out and chop down a live Christmas tree?

Perfectly Plaid - Christmas Tree card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Perfectly Plaid - Stamp Review Crew

November 17, 2019

Welcome to the Perfectly Plaid Edition of Stamp Review Crew.

Perfectly Plaid is a super fun stamp set that has a coordinating punch. I did not use the punch on wither of these projects.

For these two projects I opted to stamp with the more realistic looking tree image in the set. I found that you can make a tree any size you want with this image. How did I do this? Super easy. I started with watercolor paper and dampened it a bit. Then I stamped the image repeatedly until I achieved the size I wanted. That’s it! You can see in this first card two tree sizes. The smaller tree is the actual size of the stamp.

I created a super large tree on this second card. Isn’t it fantastic? The trees have been stamped using Shaded Spruce ink.

My fav… pulling out an OLD stamp set from the stash to create a custom background. I played with type to match the background to the primary image using simple watercolor and stamps. Paint and stamp in same color. Easy. Color is Blackberry Bliss. Stamp sets are Stampin’ Up! oldies but goodies: Rough Type & PS I Love You. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #useyourstash #cardmakingideas #cardmakingreels #papercrafting #handmadecard #cardmakingchallenge

All time favorite stamp set? How about favorite of the month? Year? I have so many "favs" and they rotate. Today we are sharing projects using our favorite stamp sets from our stash. There are certain stamp themes that I am certain to buy and keep. Any stamp set with a typewriter... or camera image, purchased! I have loads. On this card I used two typewriter themed stamp sets. 'Rough Type', which is and old alphabet stamp set. Remember those? It seems like we don't have many aphabet stamp set options anymore. Good thing I kept so many around ... The typewriter image is from a stamp set called 'P.S. You're the Best'. Check out what my friends created using their favorite STASH stamps sets!
