The sample on page 70 of the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog was the inspiration for this January camp card. The white embossed background perplexed several campers: “Where do the little dots come from?” It’s not often that we heat emboss the negative of a design! The embossed leaves are colored with a Stampin’ Blends marker, one of my favorite techniques (see another example of it here).
I had fully intended to create a “pull the tab” interactive card — kind of the whole point of the dies — but it occurred to me that (a) I wouldn’t be able to demonstrate more than once per session per table, and (b) there would be no way for stampers to test their card without ruining it. So I’ll have to think this through again, as I love this concept.
But I also love this stamp set with its terrific images and sentiments. I will keep playing with this bundle before the end of this mini. If I’m lucky, it will stick around.
I love the pun of “sending” and the Perennial Postage dies. I’m easily amused.
