Best of 25 Years Stamps – April Set!

Best of 25 Years Stamps

As part of Stampin' Up!'s 25-year anniversary celebration, they are bringing back some of their favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release-one set per month-during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image!

Some things to remember:

• All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $14.95.
• While we are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month (with a new theme each month), all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.
• All Best of stamp sets are available in Clear-Mount only.

As a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, we're including a collector's card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set. Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95! Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014.

Punch Art Easter Bunny!

For today's post I wanted to share an Easter Card that we completed at our Punch Art stamp club last night.  What do you think?!!  Please post your thoughts below – I would love to hear them!  This is not my original design – I was inspired by a card posted by Eva Dietz online.

Supplies:

Card Stock:

• Whisper white – cut one piece at 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half for base of card
• Baja breeze – cut one piece at 4" x 5 1/4"
• Floral district dsp – cut one piece at 3 3/4" x 4"
• Scraps of whisper white and pink pirouette

Step by Step:

1. Attach the Baja breeze dsp from the Floral District package to the Baja breeze card stock.
2. Wrap a piece of 1/4" whisper white stitched grosgrain ribbon around the card stock where the dsp meets the Baja breeze card (as shown above).  Tape ends on back of the card.  Attach all to the whisper white – base of card.
3. Tie another smaller piece of ribbon around the ribbon already in place and tie in a knot to create a faux bow.
4. Stamp "Happy Easter" from the Delightful Dozen stamp set using black staz on ink on the bottom center of the Baja breeze card stock.
5. To create the bunny:

·         Full heart – cut one from scraps of whisper white card stock.

·         large oval – cut 2 for the ears from whisper white card stock.

·         small oval – cut 2 for the inside of the ears from scraps of pink pirouette card stock.

·         small circle – cut 1 for the nose

6. Assemble the bunny as shown above.   Put dimensionals on the back of the bunny and put above the ribbon as shown.
7. Using the basic black marker, create the whiskers and the mouth of the bunny.
8. Your card is finished!
