The Stamping Station: CASE the Catalog

 

Hello, and welcome to this month's hop from The Stamping Station! Our theme this month is CASE the Catalog.

I chose one of my favorite card layouts from the catalog (you can see it on the left in the second photo). If it looks familiar, it's because I've used this layout several times recently!

 

 
 
I switched out the bundle featured in the catalog, and used the Splash & Relax Bundle instead, along with some of my favorite colors from the Brights Collection. You'll see two DSPs featured on my card - the wave pattern is from the Waterside Retreat DSP, and the striped pattern in the background is from the Brights Painted Patterns DSP. Don't they pair together nicely?!
 


 

 
Here is a full list of products used on my card:
Stamps: Splash & Relax
Ink: Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Melon Mambo
Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Azure Afternoon, Basic Black, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Brights Painted Patterns DSP, Waterside Retreat DSP, Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper
Embellishments: Shimmering Dots
Tools: Scalloped Blooms Dies, Splash & Relax Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Multipurpose Liquid Glue 

Make sure to follow along and see what the rest of the team has created this month!

Happy Stamping!

    The Stamping Station: Something Old, Something New

     

    Welcome to this month's hop from The Stamping Station! Our theme this month is "Something Old, Something New," and the something old could even include retired product. I have just a *little* bit of retired product sitting around my craft room, so I loved this theme! I pulled out one of my favorite Designer Series Papers EVER - the Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper, plus some Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon, and paired them with a sentiment from the Splash & Relax stamp set, the Scalloped Blooms Dies, and a gorgeous new sparkly paper that's not even released yet!
     

    This layout is one I've used several times recently - I love the look of the scalloped dies as a focal point along the side of the card!
     

    Here is a full list of products used on my card today:
    Stamps: Splash & Relax
    Ink: Crushed Curry
    Paper: Misty Moonlight, Basic White, Sunshine & Rainbows DSP (retired), Shimmering Stripes Specialty DSP (not yet released)
    Embellishments: Pearlized Faceted Circles, Bumblebee 1/4" Gingham Ribbon (retired)
    Tools: Scalloped Blooms Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
    Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals
