Many Messages for Many Happenings all on a Spiral Dye

 Hey Stampers!

I didn't want this week to close out without touching base with my blog community! I've been busy holding a HUGE retired Stampin'Up! product garage sale this week so that kept me busy deep cleaning the stamp room, sorting what I need to sell and what I want to keep, setting it all up and selling! I'm not done yet and have one more day so if you live in the Bozeman, Montana area, message me and I'll get you the details! Lots of deals and steals!

The title of today's post is a bit of a riddle which hints at the products I used for this card:

I used several things that I hadn't played with yet including the "Spiral Dye" background stamp using Pumpkin Pie and Highland Heather inks, the Many Messages die and the "Many Happenings" stamp set. I was so glad that they created another stamp set to coordinate with the Many Messages die. Who doesn't love to be able to get more use and versatility out of our stamps and dies!

The Spiral Die takes a tad bit of practice. The trick is to stamp it with one color, rotate it 180 degrees and stamp with the other color. I tried doing it free handed and with the Stamparatus and neither one were perfectly aligned, but it was still fun. I'm going to experiment some more with other colors and heat embossing next!

Guess what, there are only about 2 more weeks of the selling period for the Jan-June Mini Catalog! We were first introduced back in mid December and now it's almost done! I encourage you to take another look through it and get what you want before it's gone. You know you don't want to have any regrets down the road!!

I'm also getting ready to send out the newest mini, Jul-Dec, which features all the fall and winter holidays! Let me know if you want to be on my mailing list and I'll get one to you. I send these out through Stampin'Up! so I need to hear from you by June 29th! 

Thanks for stopping by and I want to encourage you to do some stamping this summer! It's great therapy no matter the season and you won't be sorry you took a little time to be creative. 

Happy Stampin'!
