Just a quick stop to share one of the projects we are doing in my class this morning.  I decided  I needed to get a little better at including a masculine project once in a while in  my classes. 

I will edit and add all the supplies we used to make this card later on today.  See ya later!

I believe the Wetlands stamp set was on my first order from the new Stampin' Up! catalog.  I am still making my way around to all the sets I ordered from the Annual and  Holiday catalogs.  I will get there because I have imposed a stamp set purchasing  moratorium  until every set has been properly inked and used.   It is going to be tough but I am holding myself to it.

 Stamps: Wetlands
Ink: Soft Suede, Early Espresso
Paper:  Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso Core'dinations, Soft Suede
Punches: Large Oval
Big Shot: Woodgrain folder, Deco Labels Collection
Extras: Stamping sponges, Antique Brads,  7/16" Trim,  Stampin' Sanding block

Don't you love how the woodgrain looks?  I used  the Core'dinations paper and after texturizing it with the Woodgrain folder I sanded it.   The Core'dinations paper (page 157) is available in all the colors and sold by the color collection.  

I am working on more samples using this set.  I like sharing  lots of ideas using one set.  It is a fun challenge.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
