After returning from Orlando On Stage event, some of my team met to "play" with our new stuff from the Occasions preorder. Doris wanted to use the Needle & Thread set. She is an avid quilter, watercolor painter, and rubberstamper. The card you see above was created by her. I love the new Gingham Gala paper that we received for attending On Stage along with many other goodies. This new stamp set is a Distinktive set. It's amazing how it looks like stitching. It has wonderful matching dies. One of the dies makes a beautiful stitched looking design seen on the card below.
This card I made using a new butterfly punch and the Gingham DSP. The butterflies were cut out of DSP available with a $50 purchase January 3 through March. The other 2 stitched cards were made by Rona and Carolyn. See the Stampin' Up video below about this new product. We learned a great tip at On Stage about distinctive stamps and very inky stamp pads. If a pad is brand new or just reinked it may be too inky for the distinctive stamps and you may not see the detail. All you need to do is use a plastic spoon or bone folder to push the ink away in a spot on the pad. Brilliant! Then you have an area that is just right.
