Best Thoughts
June 28, 2015
I am going on the record and saying that this year's Stampin' Up! hostess sets are wonderful! The first one I want to share with you is Best Thoughts. Love the big flower and the font is the best. More sentiments with that font please.
I stamped the flower but decided I didn't want to color it so I decided to do some paper piecing. I stamped and embossed the image on some DSP from the Cherry On Top paper stack. The 6 x 6 paper stacks in the catalog are wonderful. I like that there is a subtler pattern on the flip side of a bolder patterned sheet.
I stamped and embossed the image again and cut out a few flowers to pop up so it wouldn't be so flat. Next time I am going to use different stacks of Stampin Dimensionals which will make the flowers pop even more.
The new Brick Wall embossing folder which is 6" x 6", is going to be a "go to" folder. I love the way it adds texture without stealing the show. I stamped the sentiment before I used the embossing folder. Believe me it is MUCH easier to stamp the sentiment before than trying to stamp it after you have embossed.
Product List
These sentiment will be used a lot. I think it works for lots of different situations. Are you wondering, how do you get this awesome set? Since this is a hostess set, you need to either have a qualifying workshop/party or place a qualifying order. If this sounds like something you would like to do, please contact me and we can work out the details.
