By the Tide Card

By the Tide, Stamp with Trude, Stampin' Up!, greeting card, lobster
By the Tide stamp set is one of my favorite sets. I've used all the other stamps in the set, but this is the first card I have created with the lobster. I did use a couple of the other stamps in the set to stamp on the background card stock.

The bottle caps have been a fun Stampin' Up! embellishment. I'm hoping they make it to the new catalog. As a demonstrator, I will be able to peek at the new catalog tomorrow. If you were on my team you could too! I like to smash the bottle caps with my Big Shot. The smashed ones make great frames for a small stamp.

 I would love to be your Stampin' Up! demonstrator and/or have you join my team! More info is available on tabs at top of blog.

Vintage Elegance Card

Vintage, Stamp with Trude, Stampin' Up!, greeting card, black magic technique

I used the Black Magic technique on this card. I used the You Are Loved stamp set by Stampin' Up! I stamped the flower with white craft ink and then when completely dry, colored it with colored pencils.
I used Basic Gray card stock, Wisteria Wonder card stock, Old Olive card stock and Basic Black card stock (to stamp the flower on).

I love how this card turned out!
