Inklings:
I stamped the largest medallion image from this set on Vellum Card Stock with More Mustard Craft Ink, then clear embossed. I sponged Early Espresso Classic Ink for the emboss resist technique.

Something Old, Something New: Whooo Loves Ya, Baby?

Hi everyone!

If you are a frequent visitor to my blog, you know that Wednesdays are my "Something Old, Something New" posts. I like to show how I mix products from my Stampin' Up! "stash" with new or current items which are available for purchase. Hope you like the concept---I love using items from my "collection" :)
So, today we have---
The "old": designer paper and brads

The "new": Two Step Owl Punch-118074, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder- 119976

Isn't this little guy just the cutest? I punched his body from a Soft Suede piece I had run through my Big Shot -113439 with the Square Lattice folder, then I sponged over him with Soft Suede Classic Ink-115657. That's my handwriting on the little banner. Personalized it a bit for Mr. Brown :).

This is the neatest little punch... Teachers---you need it for your fall art projects in your classroom and it's available HERE!
Hope you have a hoot and holler kind of day!---Lisa

Something Old, Something New: Stampin' Up! Fifth Avenue Floral

OK, so I have to confess that this card is mostly of the"old". But, I love using stuff from my stash so I just went with it! The black piece with the Fifth Avenue Floral topper is actually a bookmark. So this is a card AND a gift! I used Dotto adhesive to hold it to the card and the recipient will be able to remove it easily. Don't you think this is a nifty idea?

Here's a list of the current product used here:
Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral-113734
Paper: Real Red- 102482, Whisper White- 100730
Ink: Basic Black Craft- 102192

Try making a card or scrapbook page with your bits and pieces from your scraps and stash! Make it with someone special in mind and mail it!...Share the love! :)

Happy Creating!--Lisa
