April Stamp of the Month Kit

Zoo Review

 

Hello Stampers and welcome to April! This month I'm featuring a fabulous stamp set called Zoo Review - it's a wonderful set that's versatile enough to use for children's cards, cards with a National Geographic style and can easily be used to create that wonderful masculine card.

This month's kit includes everything you need to quickly and economically recreate these stunning cards (8 cards, 4 of each design!)

 

These kits will include: 8 pre-cut card bases, cut cardstock, designer series paper, punched card stock, all embellishments featured on the cards including: embossed pieces, ribbon, jewels, pearls, buttons, brads and even dimensionals - all you need is the stamp set and some adhesive to recreate these cards on your own! This card even features custom distressing that I will do for you as well.

  

The price for this kit is $41.00 which will include the Zoo Review stamp set in clear (or available in wood for an additional $6.)
That's $5.00 a card which includes the stamp set!

I am featuring Midnight Muse Ink on both cards, and if you need the full sized ink pad it can be included in your kit for an additional $5.

If you already own the Zoo Review stamp set you can purchase this kit for $22.00 (that's less than $3.00 per card) and you can still get the featured full sized ink pad for $5.00.

So get your kit today! Email me at rachelle_arcaro@yahoo.ca or leave a post here if you're interested.

So Many Swaps

I've signed up for, and participated in already, a ton of swaps. My most challenging one by far is the All Catalogue 2012 - 2013 Stampin' Up Swap. I'm almost done and here are a few of the cards I created for the swaps. Enjoy!

A swap card using the fabulous Serene Silhouettes stamp set, More Mustard cardstock and ink. Island Indigo ink as well as Fan Fair DSP, Argyle Embossing Folder and pearl accents.

Here is another swap card, this one featuring the new stamp set Papaya Collage and our newest blus colour - Midnight Muse, my absolutely favourite of the blues so far. It also features Comfort Cafe DSP as well as wording from the Elements of Style stamp set.

Another swap card I did using the En Francais stamp set, Island Indigo and again Comfort Cafe DSP.

I also embossed the framelit with the Square Lattice folder.

And my final finished swap card featuring Mixed Bunch stamp set and Comfort Cafe DSP (love that series of papers) Pool Party ink and cardstock and a pretty Subtles button. I also used the Adorning Accents dies to cut the bottom quarter off of the card.

Floral Framelits Cards

I have been having a lot of fun creating new and fun cards using the new Floral Framelits Dies. I've experimented using different designer series paper, stamping colour on colour cardstock, using different brads and different ways of shading/outlining the flower petals.

I hope that you like them.

Mother's Day Class Projects

This is a Mother's Day card and matching Petite Purse that I created for a Mother's Day class. The Petite Purse is a new addition to Stampin' Up's line of Bigz Dies:

I used the now retired Mocha Morning Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up, Basic Black and Crumb Cake cardstock and Basic Black and Crumb Cake ink. The Petite Purse features Rhinestone Jewels and held inside many Hershey Kisses chocolates!

This is the Mother's Day card and matching Petite Purse done in Whisper White:


















This card also features the Mocha Morning Designer Series Paper, Whisper White and Crumb Cake cardstock as well as Basic Black and Crumb Cake ink. The Petite Purse features the now retired Rhinestone Brad as well as beautiful Pearl accents - all from Stampin' Up.

Both cards featured the Elements of Style and Messages for Mom (retired) stamp sets.
