UPDATE - Palette of Prints

I've just received an update from Stampin' Up! regarding this months promotion. The gorgeous sampler pads of patterned paper have been so popular that they are running out of stock super fast. They anticipate that stocks will be gone within 5 days. They are unable to print any more. So...if you would like to secure yours, all you need to do is spend a minimum of $40 (and lets face it, that is super easy!! :-) ) and add the sampler pad to your order.
To place an order with me, you may contact me at janine.rutherford@xtra.co.nz.
Thanks,
Until next time,

Janine

Loads of Love

Well as promised, here is a card I have made using some of the paper from the 6"x6" sampler in the Palette of Prints promotion.
This card uses the Loads of Love and Loads of Love Accessories stamp sets. These sets are so very versatile and great for making cards for the men and boys in our lives.
Here's the step by step:

• Stamp the truck image in Basic Black ink onto So Saffron patterned paper. Cut out.
• Attach to Whisper White c/s
• Using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig (one of my favourite tools!) stamp the driver and parcels in the truck. Colour with markers. I used my blender pens and ink pad lid to colour the wheels and shadow.
• Attach to Not Quite Navy c/s.
• Cut out rectangle of Certainly Celery paper and glue to Elegant Eggplant card base.
• Stamp greeting onto Only Orange c/s and punch out using the Round Tab Punch. I love how so many of our stamps are designed to fit inside our punches. Makes things very easy!
• Glue it all together and you're done!
