Outrageous Open House

We had a great time at my open house. Lots of stamping and laughter, everyone loved Stampin Up's new In Colors and the new stamp sets.

We did masking with Lovely as a Tree and made a beautiful navy, burgandy and white sparkely (is that a word) tree. Looked like a forest after a snow storm.

Faux Metal using copper and an acorn stamp from Fabulous Fall created quite the buzz. That set is so versatile and what a cute acorn it makes. Add to a couple of stamped oak leaves for a great highlight.

Two step stamping technique had its own charm. Stampers could make three samples. Tone on tone using stampin off for the base, then light/ dark using two different colors of ink, and finally stamping off and kissing.
We used simple shapes and Simply Said stamp sets with mellow moss and copper inks.

The displays from the previous post were well received and designer papers are always a favorite. The new catalog will have many ear marked pages, so awesome.

So all in all -a nice day.
Talk to you soon, Becky
