I'm here today with a fun stamp set that is unique for two reasons. First, it is a Hostess - only set which means you have to submit an order over $150 to be able to buy it with your hostess dollars. It is about half the price of normal stamps and it's your reward for hosting a large party with a big order, or putting in a big order all by yourself! Admit it - who doesn't do that once in awhile!
Anyway, the second reason this stamp set is unique is because the designs and sentiments have a vertical orientation rather than horizontal. I can't tell you how many times I get part way through the design process and realize I don't have room for a big ol' horizontal greeting and wished I had more skinny vertical options. I love this set for that reason alone. It also coordinates with a new punch called the Timeless Label punch, also somewhat skinny and long!
Just for fun, I chose five different colors and did a card featuring each of the stamps with some background stamping as well. Here are my results:
This first pictures shows all the cards grouped together and here they are individually:
As you can see, I also used some embossing folders on some card stock to step up my design just a little bit. I also used our wonderful linen twine, which goes with just about everything. I've listed my supplies as well as my color choices below in case you want to reproduce these cards. What an easy set to work with and not too much coloring that takes a lot of time to complete. These would all make great, quick Make-n-Take cards at an event, a buffet or just for fun, especially with new stampers.
Let me know if you have any questions or would like more information about Stampin'Up! We are a great company and if you like to craft, you should hear more about us!
