Good Day Everyone! I first set eyes on this stamp set as a sneak peek last November at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage Live event in Brussels. We were still there when that Paris terrorist attack happened and now as I type this, there is news of yet another attack this time in Brussels. Why oh why do we live in such a wicked world? So, so sad – I weep for the bereaved and throw my hands up in despair because I fail to comprehend the mentality that drives the few to inflict such pain on innocents! I have a series of 4 cards using this set which will be published over the next 3 consecutive Sudays – hope you like them. Here’s the first.
What I love about Stampin’ Up! is no matter who you are in the heirachy, everyone stamps and it was no different at OnStage Live 2015 – Rich Jutkins our President did his own presentation with this stamp set – I love his sense of humour and when he demoed this set, I knew it was one I needed and had to have! Only hiccup is that it isn’t for sale! It is a Hostess set and only available as a Hostess reward.
The inside of the card was stamped with another sentiment “You’re a cut above the rest” and a variety of sewing stitches in Blushing Bride, Hello Honey and Lost Lagoon and the scissors in Basic Black. Muggins only went and smudged it at the last hurdle – so rather than discarding it, I stamped another pair of scissors on a piece of scrap Whisper White, punch it out with a circle punch, sponged the edges in Lost Lagoon and adhered it on top of the smudged image!
I had fun making this sampler. However, I won’t lie – the cross stitch was a pig to do, but I found a solution which is the topic of my video this coming Wednesday 13 April so pop back to see how I did it!
