The winner of the Catalog Scavenger hunt from last week was Cyndie S!
Thanks for playing along.
The first question was What three things can you do with your Photopolymer stamps?
Mix & Match – You can create your own stamp combinations by placing several stamps on a block and stamp at the same time.
Bend it – because they are flexible you can bend the stamps to give you more create possibilities.
Two-step – Since the photopolymer is see-through it makes it easier to layer the images which we call two-step Stampin’. There are even some 3-step sets. So each layer adds a little more detail to your final image.
Below are some examples:
And here is a card I made using the Foxy Friends bundle. This is a Two-Step set. You can layer the different images to create a variety of animals besides the fox. However for this card I did make a red fox. I’ll have more cards to share with you using this fun bundle.
One of the brand new sets in the catalog is called Thoughtful Banners. It’s on page 73 and coordinates with the Duet Banner Punch. You can even buy them as a bundle and save 10%. The set has a ton of words so you can create cards for many different occasions – I made one for Father’s Day.
This could easily be changed for just about anything – just choose different words.
I used my grid paper as a guide when I stamped my lines – just line it up and then you can use the lines as a guide for placement. The lines are Mint Macaron, Crumb Cake and Smoky Slate. I used the little double arrow head to just scatter some accents around.
The words are stamped in Basic Gray ink with Father’s Day on a scrap piece that was punched out. This set is photopolymer and one of the fun things to do with this style of stamp is that you can bend it. So I bent the words Father’s Day to fit inside my curved banner! The other words are stamped directly on the stripes.
I tied a bit of linen thread around the top and then attached it to a Crumb Cake card base. Play around with some other colors and change the words to make lots of fun cards.
Don’t forget to play along with my scavenger hunt – I posted it on Monday.

Father’s Day is coming up this weekend. Do you have a card made yet?
I have a few designs that I have created lately that I was going to share with you this week. The first one uses the new Swirly Bird stamp set. The name of the set doesn’t give you any idea that there is a sailboat – or rather the parts to create a sailboat.
I used the new Dapper Denim In-Color (its’ the one I’ve been using the most) along with Real Red, a little bit of Pool Party and Tip Top Taupe. I used the Circle Framelits to create the ring. The Swirly Scribbles Thinlits are the waves inside the ring.
I used the new Thick White Baker’s Twine. And the words are from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set. There is a lot of new on this card.
At my Catalog Kickoff Party last weekend I had a Scavenger Hunt for everyone to complete.
I thought we could play here on my blog too. I’m going to list all the questions and you can reply with an email with all the answers. At the end of the week I’ll do a drawing from everyone that plays along and send you a prize in the mail.
