Stamp Crazy with Alison

Sunday Sketches – Country Home Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!

August 30, 2020 by Patsy Waggoner

30 Aug

Hello Stampers,  Patsy Waggoner here today.

Alison and I have spent the last three days at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Summit.  Originally we were to all meet in New Orleans, but like many things Covid-19 has prevented us from gathering in person.  Stampin' Up! events are always a special time to re-connect and meet new demonstrators from around the world.  

Alison and I are excited to try some new ways of connecting and sharing with our Stampin' Up! Teams.   Most of our team members were our customers first.  Each one joins for a different reason and many just to get a personal discount on the awesome Stamipin' Up! products.  Some join to be part of a supportive community of stampers sharing and learning from each other.  Stampin' Up! is much more than stamps!

I can guarantee that no mater the reason someone joined Stampin' Up! one thing they all have in common is they all LOVE stamps!  o share some of Today I am using the Country Home stamp set.  This set is not a "new", it was featured in last years annual catalog.  As fall rolls in I wanted to pair it with the most popular new designer series paper Plaid Tidings.  You can find Plaid Tidings Paper in the Aug-Dec Mini Catalog.

Here is the sketch that inspired my card today.   My favorite coloring tool are the Stampin' Blends they are so easy to use and the end results so gratifying.
