Sneak Peak

This weekend was amazing! I went to an amazing meeting with my upline, downline, and sister-sideline. Such a fabulous event hosted by my up-upline Terri Gaines. I also cleaned my stamp table ... not my whole stamp room but at least now I can see my table. With all the inspiration and cleaning I actually was creative and found time to stamp. I really needed that (sigh of relief and accomplishment). 

I have a sneak peek of an upcoming product that I've been waiting and hoping for from Stampin' Up! DRUM ROLL PLEASE .........

..... the TAKE YOUR PICK tool is fabulous!!!!!!!! It can pick up with putty or a spatula, pierce and even score paper. Take a look at how I used it to finish these cards -

Accented Blooms Stamp Set - Card idea by Sue Lehrer

The spatula easily slides under adhesive on the pearls and jewels to make placement on cards a breeze. I think you'll find the price of this tool comparable to other products on the market but this offers much more so be sure to 'Pick it up' in September when it becomes available in the Autumn/Winter Catalog.

About the card: it is CASE'd (Copy and Share Everything) from my upline Sue Lehrer. She offered a variety of colors the day she featured this card on her blog. I chose this color combo with Pool Party, Old Olive and Basic Black to create mine. The set is Accented Blooms from the annual catalog (pg 19). The floral detail is stamped using Memento Ink and the flowers are colored with the light and dark Pool Party and Old Olive Blends markers. I stamped thank using Pool Party Ink and then punched out the sentiment with the Tailored Tag Punch. 

Happy Stamping,

Autumn
