Tool Time Tuesday – VersaMark

Welcome to Tool Time Tuesday! Each week I focus on a tool that can be found in the Stampin’ Up! catalog.  This week we’re going to talk about VersaMark, a watermark stamp pad (when you stamp on dark card stock, it leaves a darker image, like a watermark).


You can find many, many stamp pads in the catalog and it can be quite daunting trying to figure out which stamp pad to use when.  VersaMark is a staple in my craft room! (more…)

More Information About Paper Pumpkin 

Every kit comes with an exclusive stamp set to use over and over!

You’ll receive at least one Classic Stampin’ Spot with every kit. The colors don’t repeat in a 12-month period, so it’s easy to build a collection of colorful ink.

Every new subscriber receives a clear block (size D) with their first kit to help them get started and to use throughout their subscription.

In addition to a stamp set and ink spot(s), the kits include supplies to make projects like cards, home décor, gift packaging, and more. For example, the card kits (6+ per year) always include 8 cards—at least!

It’s flexible! You can suspend (for a month) or cancel at anytime.

Since all the prep work is done, the projects take a shorter time to complete, making it the perfect on-the-go craft. Headed out of town? Grab a kit to create during some downtime. It’s all contained in one little box, so it’s easy to take anywhere!

It’s a surprise in your mailbox every month. Because who doesn’t love happy mail?

Every month, Stampin’ Up! will post a video to quickly demonstrate how to assemble each kit! 

Every subscriber has exclusive access to a selection of past kits. So, when a kit runs out, you can buy more—either as a full kit or a refill (without stamp set and ink).

If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to contact me. If you’re excited about a fall themed kit at 50% off, click here and don’t forget to use the code HALFOFF0917

Have a terrific day!

Grown with Love

Today’s card uses the new bundle in the Annual Catalog called Grown with Love. It  includes not only a flower pot but a watering can and wagon.  How cute is that?

I stamped the flower pot in Crumb Cake and then used the Frameliits to cut it out. The flowers and leaves were stamped in Garden Green directly onto the Whisper White base but then stamped again in Berry Burst and Daffodil Delight  so I could cut the flowers out with the Framelits.  These  Framelits actually only cut out the three larger flowers but I cut the smaller ones too with these larger dies and then trimmed them a bit. I attached the flowers with glue dots.  The flower pot is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I took three strands of Linen Thread, tied them into a bow and attached it to the flower pot with a glue dot.  

Measurements 

Whisper White card stock:  11″ x 4-1/4″  Scored @ 5-1/2″ and 5″ x 3-3/4″

Daffodil Delight card stock: 5-1/4″ x 4″

Berry Burst card stock:  4″ x 3-1/4″

I love hearing from you!  If you have any thoughts or questions about today’s card, please leave a comment!
