Tulips for all Stampers

 I mentioned the three different types of stampers the other day - Beginner, Casual and Avid.  I have to admit that the "Avid" card for today was cased from Stamp It Up with Jaimie off of Pinterest.  

My first card is for the Beginner.  Just adding ink to paper.  But with this stamp set you get wonderful results.

 For the Casual stamper, I punched out the blossom on the center flower with the punch available with this Bundle.  I also changed the placement of the greeting because the tulip was now raised, and raised the greeting itself.  Finally, I added some Pearl Basic Jewels.

This is similar to Jaimie's original card, which could be considered for the casual or the avid stamper.  I liked the way Jaimie embossed a strip of velum to add behind the focal piece. The other addition is the ribbon to finish everything off.

Parisian Beauty for all Stampers

 One of the first stamp sets to catch my eye in the new Mini Catalogue was the Parisian Beauty stamp set.  There is something about the Eiffel Tower that always draws me in.  When I started to play with the set, I decided that I'd make a series of cards challenging myself to make one for each level of stamper....Beginner, Casual and Avid.

This card above is for the Beginner stamper......it uses 4 of the 10 available stamps and only involves stamping .  There is a little bit of technique involved with the stamp of writing - stamping multiple times but placing the stamp in a different starting position each time.  I did this free hand without using the Stamparatus.

 For my Casual Stamper  card I added a layer of co-ordinating Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper, put the sentiment onto an extra layer using a tag and added some Champagne Rhinestone jewels to add some bling.  All the other elements of the card stayed the same.

Finally, the Avid Stamper gets to go all out.  All the elements are the same except the Eiffel Tower is now cut out using the thinlits that are available as a bundle and it's popped up with dimensionals.  The sentiment is still on a tag, but I've added some colour around the edges with a sponge dauber.  A piece of coordinating ribbon has been added along with the Champagne jewels.

By purchasing the Parisian Beauty Bundle and a package of the Designer Series paper you can select on of the Level One Sale-a-bration items.
