Card using Mixed Drinks and Delicate Details stamp sets from Stampin' Up!; designed by Paula Cannon for www.vintageandfresh.com

Friends who don’t let friends stamp or wine alone

A few weeks ago I spent a fun Saturday stamping with friends. I love getting together with these ladies. I’ve gotten to know them through Stampin’ Up! because we are all in the same demonstrator group. One of the many benefits I’ve enjoyed as a demo. We share ideas, we share our adventures, our joys and problems, but mostly we laugh and have a lot of fun!

For this get-together we had two swaps planned and lunch. In addition we usually have one Make & Take project. As one of the co-hosts for this event, I volunteered to design this one. Since we were also having a surprise “stock the bar” wedding shower for Diana, I had to use the Mixed Drinks stamp set. Right?

We usually keep the Make & Take fairly simple. I knew I wanted to use the friends don’t let friends wine alone saying. Once it occurred to me to use the Delicate Details stamps (from the Sale-a-Bration catalog) as a sort of tablecloth image, the design fell right into place.


Tip: One of the nice things about photopolymer stamps is that you can put them together on one block. I lined up these two stamps so they were even. Then just ink it up and stamp.

It seems like a lot of folks can’t wait to say goodbye to 2016. For me its been like most years: some ups, some downs. Like every year, December 31st comes along and we look forward and say Happy New Year!

So, champagne cheers to 2017!

Here’s to you

I recently attended an event at the new Crane Brewing Taproom (for those of you in the Raytown MO area). And I recently got the stamp set Mixed Drinks. So I made a card using the beer mug.

One of things I like about this set is that you don’t need to color your drinks. Each glass type has a matching “liquid” image to fit. And its photopolymer, so its really easy to use.
