I have a big basket of cards beside me, many of which use retiring stamp sets. All are waiting to be posted on the blog, but since the Man in Brown is dropping a big box of new product on the porch today, I thought I’d share a *new* card with you. We created this card at OnStage in early April. It features a whole bunch of new product, including the Painted Glass stamp set.
The Graceful Glass Collection in the upcoming 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue celebrates stained glass windows. The pieces in the collection allow you to create your own stained glass projects. One of the highlights is the Graceful Glass 6″x6″ Designer Vellum. It can be coloured with our Stampin’ Blends, allowing you to create some gorgeous projects. The piece on this card was coloured using Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch Blends. If you look at the right side of the card, you can see that the printed black design on the vellum is raised slightly, and has a sheen to it. It mimics the leading of real windows, and helps with your colouring.
The card base is Lovely Lipstick, the yellow piece is Pineapple Punch, and the Black 1/8″ Cord has a textured feel to it. It’s different from anything that we have seen, because it has a great weight to it, but it’s still easy to tie. Just wait until you see it!
Now… it may be fun to look at new product, but I want to remind you that we have a whole lot of product out there that is retiring. Some wonderful stamp sets and colours are disappearing, and the time to add these to your collection is limited.
