Have you used rubons lately? I purchased a package of "Summer Love" rub-ons from Stampin' Up last year and haven't used them in awhile. What fun - I have so much stampin' stuff that I find supplies and embellishments occasionally in my studio that I have forgotten about - it feels like I just bought something new for myself! Well, with Spring in the air, I just had to do some Spring and Summer themed stamping!
The card is Not Quite Navy cs, along with some retired designer series paper. Stampin' Up may retire "In-Color" each year, but I've outsmarted the system! I purchase at the very least an inkpad, reinker bottle, cs, and some dsp in each "In Color". Then, I make it last for years! Retirement for my In Colors is a slow process. When I pull out a retired In Color, it makes me smile. My In Colors are my little treasures! :) So, my tip for this week: Get an inkpad, reinker bottle, and cs (and maybe even some dsp to match) in every In Color. Don't forget to stock up before the new catalog and new In-Colors are introduced in July!
The grasses stamp from the old standby stamp set called "Inspired By Nature" are stamped in Sage Shadow and heat embossed. After that, I did not stamp anything else - only rub-ons are used. From the butterfly to the flowers to the "inspire" cameo, I was armed with only a popsicle stick and my set of rub-ons. Have you seen the current rub-ons on pages 176-177 of the current IB&C? I especially like the set called "So Cool". It would be a nice set to keep on hand for a last minute child's birthday card.
