Sneak Peek of the new Plaid Background Stamp!

As a demonstrator, we get our Stampin' Up catalogs a month early and can pre-order items.  Well, my goodies came Wednesday and I have been playing with them for a couple of days.  When you receive your Holiday Catalog next month, don't overlook the Buffalo Plaid stamp.  I think it is kind of hidden in the catalog so make sure you turn to page 38 and check it out towards the bottom of the page!  I haven't made a card with this stamp yet.  Instead I've been trying different colors for the checks on white card stock.  I haven't stamped it on colored paper yet but that will be next!!

Merry Merlot and Blueberry Bushel

Call Me Clover and Garden Green

Cajun Craze and Berry Burst

The background stamp fits great in the Stamparatus or by using Clear Block F (pg 206).  If you use the clear block, I have found the best way to get a good impression on theses large stamps is to put the stamp on your work table and put the card stock on top of the stamp.  Cover with a piece of scrap typing paper and rub it carefully.
