stampin-with-laurel

My name is Laurel Matthew(can't you tell?!) and I stamp. I'm complused to stamp. Can't seem to quit ... but that's a good thing! I love to create - cards, gifts, decor, journals, trinkets - for the people in my life. I'm pretty sure they like receiving these things! I've been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for 5 years now, and am pleased to share my tips, inpirations, creations, and not-so-secret life as a SU! Demo. Enjoy! (Better yet, subscribe or come to a class or Meetup soon!)

April Club Projects - Stencils 3 Ways

These are our stamp club projects for April. Not my usual combinations, but I wanted to highlight Decor Elements Elegant Trio Stencil Collection and use retiring color combos. We used the stencils in 3 ways. From left to right: emboss resist, heat-n-stick powder with fine cosmo glitter, and traditional sponging.

*******************************
Ruby Red, Blush Blossom, and Close to Cocoa will all retire in June. They make a pretty color combination, I think.

*******************************
I think the flourish from Baroque Motifs works perfectly with the fleur-de-lis stencil. I love Taken with Teal, and this fine glitter - so fun! Not so fun cleaning it up after the kids managed to get into it!

There are made up of some of our current favorites, returning In Colors, AND 5 brand new colors ... all coming to your stampin' desk when the new catty comes out in July.

Wooo hooo SU!
