Even more single stamps!

Stampin' Up is piloting offering single stamps from select popular sets until January 2.  They first introduced these three sentiment sets as individual stamps.  Now they've expanded into images, including 3 brand new images not available in current catalogs!

NEW Single Stamps: Assorted 1
NEW Single Stamps: Assorted 2  

Previously released options: 
Individual stamps from Word Play 
Individual stamps from Perfectly Penned
Individual stamps from Seasonal Sayings

Note that these are shipped in clear cello bags and are clear-mount only.  You can buy SU's clear DVD cases to store them in if needed.

My personal favorites are the World Treasures peacock, the Blooming with Kindness flower (although I think I may need that whole set!), the tree, the Everything Eleanor circle, the brand new snowflake that matches a punch... ahhh!   I have seen so many inspiring projects made with these that I just may need to get a few for myself.  :)

Stampin' Up is doing a limited time trial of offering individual stamps from some of the popular sentiment sets.  So if you like certain sentiments, but don't want to buy the entire set, you can pick and choose which ones you get.

Some key notes -

• These won't be sent to you in our typical cases or packaging; they'll be packaged in cello bags. If you'd like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four (item 119105). 
• Clear-mount only
• Available only through January 2, 2013

HAY There! (TESC153)

Hay there!  I just finished my card for this fun Taylored Expressions sketch challenge (deets here!):

Here's my take on it: 

I used TE Green Acres in each of the little boxes, popping the little cow couple up with foam dots.  I used some old DCWV glitter green paper as the first layer, PTI kraft embossed with an old folder, and some Twinery Peapod twine. 

I also used TE's It's a Banner Day 1 outline stamp and matching die (decorated with some brown pearls) along with the "Hay there!" sentiment from Green Acres. 

Have a mooo-velous night!   ;)

February 2012 SFYTT - Your Next Stamp

Here's my card for the February SFYTT, sponsored by Your Next Stamp!  I used Bubbly Fun Fhiona & Bubbly Fun Accessories on this card I'll send to my sister.

I used a new polka dots embossing folder along with the Swiss dots embossing folder, and lots of glitter for this girly card.  There's Stickles in the bubbles, around the bubbly circle, and bling in the accent circles.

I'm having uploading issues, but will have to add additional pictures tomorrow - the inside is cute too, with a little rubber ducky.  :) 

TCPTUES197 - Anything But a Card

This week's TCP Tuesday challenge is elementary - Anything But a Card!  Somehow in the midst of a cold, I came up with a little Easter decoration using The Cat's Pajamas - A Beary Good Year.  I don't have any egg dye so this is just a normal egg, but I'm picturing this little cup being used to hold a dyed easter egg (perhaps at each table spot for Easter dinner?) or a Cadbury egg treat. 

The first step was to take a 3 oz bathroom cut and cut the top half off - enough to hold the egg in place, but too much cup to decorate.   I then used TCP - Grass Cut-Ups die to cut two layers of grass to wrap around the cup.

Using several eggs from A Beary Good Year, I decorated the grass all around the cup.

Including an egg underneath whatever you fill the cup with.

Lastly, I cut out the bear and colored him (all coloring done with Bic Mark-Its), gave him another egg to hold, and cut out the little Easter basket also included in the set.  I cut the basket handle off and replaced it with a little Brown Sugar Divine Twine, and both the bear and basket are adhered with foam pop dots.
