STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • The “vavoom” factor of this card comes from the ampersand sign cropped from Stampin’ Up! Silver Glimmer Paper.  I used the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies, which includes 4 dies with 26 letters, 10 numbers and the ampersand symbol.

  • The ampersand symbol is popped up on bits of Stampin’ Dimensionals for 3-D drama!
  • I used a Stampin’ Up! Elegant Eggplant Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up all but the “ampersand” portion of the stamp.  Apply ink with the marker (the larger “paint” end) directly to the rubber of the stamp.  Then “huff” a few times to get the ink evenly moist and ready to stamp.

  1. I keep putting the alphabet die on my wish list, and then I promptly take it off because of the price. I don’t scrapbook, and I always wonder if I’d use the die enough on my cards to justify the cost. But I think you’ve finally convinced me that I need the die?if only for the ampersand!! (How sad is that!?) Stunning card, as usual. You have a fabulous sense of style.

  6. I love this very beautiful yet simple card, Elegant Eggplant is one of my favorite shades of purple and the Silver Glimmer paper really adds a lot of bling to it. And, believe it or not, I never knew, until today that, THAT symbol was called Ampersand. I see it and even use it at times but I didn’t know what it was called. Thank you Mary, your blog is, besides awesome, a great place to learn new things.
