Challenging Myself

I have about 250 Stampin' Up stamp sets and there are A LOT that I have not used.  So I decided to challenge myself to use all of my stamp sets. Today I used Tuscan Vineyard Item # 141902
I used traditional ink pads, Stampin' Dots, Stampin' Up Markers and also Watercolor Pencils.
I wanted to show off this great set that I fell in love with when it came out.  I am a wine drinker but I love the Mediterranean theme of ANYTHING. We decorated our kitchen and living in the Mediterranean style.  I did not add any sentiments because I am not sure what I am going to use these for yet.  I used every stamp in this set so you can see the different ways the set can be used. I used the In Colors card stock for most of the cards.

I colored the landscape with Watercolor Pencils and stamped the background with two of the stamps.

The grape cluster is so fun but also classic. The lined up wine corks remind me of the collections of wine corks we have. The flourish was

This card was also stamped then colored with the Watercolor pencils. I thought the markers would be too harsh with all of the detail the stamps display.

I love a 3x3 card. This is going to be a gift tag for a bottle of wine I am going to give a friend for her house warming.  

I hope this gives you a few ideas on how to use this stamp set.

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a little while, my family and I went on vacation to Disney World and then to see our son graduate from his MOS school in the Marines. Here is one of my FAVORITE holiday dies, the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Die. Item # 135853 $33.00. http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/melissahanson/catalogs I used very vanilla card stock Item #101650 and scraps of fall colors. In the spirit of fall, even though it's 90 degrees here in Texas, here is my scarecrow treat box I made at a scrapbook and stamping retreat.  You can fit a mini M&M and Skittles bag and some small candy in there.  My nephews love these treat boxes. I will make more for the holidays and post them. The ideas are endless. Pinterest has a lot of great ideas of how to use this versatile die.
