Do you remember the May Pole and doing the May Pole dance when you were in elementary school? My son just laughs and shakes his head when we talk about it, times have really changed. And speaking of changing times, today is the first day of the new Summer Mini Catalogue.
If you have got one, just give me a call or email and will get one out to you quickly. This mini has some wonderful new items, they have new wheels, which I will show you very soon, great stamp sets, new punches, Designer Series papers, a incredible embossing folder that I showed you a couple of days ago and Smooch Spritz. Now that Smooch Spritz is a great fun product. It comes in four different colors Gold Glow, Silver Foil, Vanilla Shimmer and Log Cabin. This is a very easy product to use, just spritz it on your project but there are some tips that are very helpful. It is messy--overspray. SU has a Color Catcher that is perfect to catch this overspray and for only $7.95, it is the best investment you can make. The bottles that the Smooch Spritz comes in is glass so make sure that you place your bottles on a towel to keep them from rolling off the desk and on to the floor and you do realize they will only break if a) people are expected momentarily b) your kids just let the dog (cat) in c)you were told to be careful. But with those two tips in mind, the product is beautiful and gives a wonderful shimmer to your project. Ok enough babble, let's see the project, my attempt at Vintage.
This card is made with Elements of Style from the new Mini. I stamped the image on Crumb Cake (formerly known as Kraft) cardstock using Old Olive ink. I then stamped the image again using Night of Navy onto Brocade Blue cardstock and cut out all the flowers and attached them to the Crumb Cake layer. I then distressed all the edges with my distressing tool (or should that be DE stressing tool as I find it very calming!) from the Cutter kit (106958) and sponged with Close to Cocoa and Creamy Caramel. Then I put it in my Color Catcher and spritz it with Log Cabin Smooch Spritz to really make it age a bit faster. The sentiment is stamped on Crumb Cake with Old Olive and ripped around all the edges and then sponged and attached with dimensionals.
Happy Stamping,
