My New Favorite Stamp Set

Posted on September 4, 2021 by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

My New Favorite Stamp Set

Do I have just one favorite stamp set?

Of course not! They’re all my favorites

BUT every once in a while there will be one (or in this case 2) sets that just stand out and really tug at my heart and I just can’t stop using them. Do you have your favorite (s)? Well in this new 2021-2022 catalog I have to say that I’m obsessed with Art Gallery and Artistically Inked. These two stamp sets are absolutely stunning. They are so pretty and the DSP (Artistically Inked only) is just so beautiful. Of course, they’re both very versatile and easy to create beautiful projects with. With a little creativity (and help from your friendly Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, yours truly) just about any occasion card can be made with each one ……including masculine cards. Here are some projects I made using each of these stamp sets so you can get an idea of how awesome they really are. We’ve made these cards at past workshops and have had a great time making them.

Art Gallery Stamp Set You can’t tell, but it’s an accordion card.

I like the Artistically Inked set just a little bit more than the Art Gallery set. Just a little ink and paper and you can create a beautiful watercolored and expressionistic looked project. Wow, I love the Polished Pink ink and cardstock I used on this card. The Shaded Spruce card is also so rich looking because of the depth and richness of the color. Great for any occasion. Below I’ve listed the links for these items along with some additional supplies that you would need to make these cards. If you would like additional ideas for these sets, the Art Gallery set is on page 13 of the Annual Catalog and the Expressions in Ink are on page 96 and 97.

TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE THE CARDS: On the pink Artistically Inked card, make sure you “stamp off” the color for the leaves so that they aren’t super bright. It gives the leaves a more realistic look. Also add a dimensional under each leaf after you have curled it a bit to give it dimension. On the shaded spruce card, make sure to cut each of the print strips ¾” and the gold stripe strip ½” wide. They should also each be cut different lengths. The gold foil leaves are cut from the long leaf die in the die set. Cut the leaves apart and place them on the card.

On the Art Gallery card for the bundle of flowers cut a second set of flowers and glue it on top of the one you stamped and die cut in green. This hides the green flowers underneath and leaves you with a pretty green stem and leaves, and it give a little thickness and dimension to the flower bunch! Note, I did that on both cards.

Below are the projects/cards we made a the last workshop. We had so much fun making them and creating such great projects. I love these stamp suites/bundled sets and DSP. They are all so versatile and can be used for All Occasion Cards all year long.

The You’re a Peach Suite is super cute! I love the DSP the best and the stamps and dies have the most realistic peach blossoms I’ve ever seen

The only way to get the beautiful Pattern Party DSP, is to be a Hostess (min. $150) and you can choose this thick (48 pages total) package of very very versatile DSP. See page 171 to see the images of all the patterns

The Hand Penned Petals Suite will by far be the most popular suite in this years catalog. It’s so awesome! If there is any one suite you buy, this should be it!

The inside holds 2 note cards (that you stamp yourself) and 2 envelopes. What a nice gift for someone special

Card Wallet – What a great gift. Look at the inside of the wallet (image to the right)

This card “Wallet” doesn’t require any cutting or glue! Would you like to make one? Come to a workshop and learn how.

It’s so easy to make and such a special gift to give someone for a special occasion. I, of course used the Hand Penned Petals DSP. This project is totally customizable, by you!

Here are the links for the product I used to make the

projects at the last workshop. Just click on the link to

New Catalog Means New Products

New Catalog Means New Products

(and some old favorites)

Have you had time to go through your new catalog? If not, I want to invite you to set some time aside to relax and go through it carefully…….with pen and paper handy to take a lot of notes. Or better yet a fresh pack of Post-Its to tag all your “New” favorite sets and products. I can’t tell you how many times I have gone through the catalog and every time I go through it, I find something that I missed from the time prior! Seriously, I think to myself, “How in the world did I miss that? For example: on page 135 we have this beautiful “In Color Shimmer Vellum. Item #155616, 10 sheets, (12×12) 2 of each new In Color (2021-2023), $12. I’m definitely ordering it on my next order. I have a lot of great ideas for it.
