Hi, I’m Kristine from Close To My Heart. Now, if you
like beautiful products at steep discounts, I have
some good news for you. Close To My Heart now offers
a new collection of seven gorgeous Hostess Rewards
stamp sets that are only available to Hostesses. If
you host your own Gathering you can get these cute
stamp sets at amazing discounts. All you have to do
is invite your friends for a fun papercrafting
night. You can use the Select Product Credit that
you earned to save even more on exclusive stamp sets.
Plus these stamp sets are only available through
January 2014 so you got to hurry and get them while
you can. Now let me show you a little bit more about
them. I’m going to be working with my favorite set.
It is called the Washi Wonder set. This is a D-size
set. It has 24 different images all of really hot
washi tape designs that is so cool right now. Now
because of stamping, you can make your own. Um this
set also, while it retails for $17.95, through this
great new Hostess Rewards exclusive program, you can
get it for just 10 bucks in SPC. So, there’re two
different ways we can approach this. Look at this
darling layout of happy go lucky Maya. Um, you can
see all the great washi tape here. Now on this
particular layout, I have stamped, cut and then
paper pieced the washi tape elements together.
You’ll also note that it really works great when you
just mix up a wacky fun color combination. So some
of them get kind of overlapped; I’ll show you how
that rolls. You can see that right here I have
created a variety of pieces and I’m just gonna
lay them down. I’m using a piece of white cardstock
just to give you the idea of how it might look.
Obviously I would be working on my Whisper Grey
cardstock base for this. Notice I can overlap them
just a little bit. I’m going to let them go off the
edge of the page so that I can use my paper trimmer
to trim it out. I’m also working with my VersaMat®.
I’ve got it foam side up because I’m going to be
stamping in just a second, but you can work with it
on either side. Just a little bit of TomBow® and you
can see how very quickly and how cute that is. Look
how that comes together. Really easy and I would
just keep going until I have created my entire
border using all of those paper pieced washi tape
sets. Now I’ve even got an easier way to use the
Washi Wonder set. It’s gorgeous! It’s fast! It’s a
little bit more organic, but don’t be uncomfortable.
You can do this. Look at this layout. I’ve got my
Sweet layout. You can see how again, I’ve used a
funky fresh color scheme and created a border. All
of the washi tape pieces are different sizes and
different widths. It’s going to be okay. You’re
going to do a little deep breathing. It will work.
It doesn’t have to be pefect. It’s stamping. It’s
artwork. It’s yours. So first of all, I’m going to
start with some of my Goldrush ink. I’ve already
seasoned these sets. You don’t have to start in the
very, very top corner. You can start where ever you
like. And just either mask off or adjust it as you
go. Now, nice clean stamp image there, thanks to my
VersaMat®. Now I’m going to rotate. I’m going to
move onto a little Sweet Leaf, my soft, soft green.
Now is it okay that some of my Sweet Leaf goes over
top of my Goldrush? Yes it is. I give you permission
to be a little messy because this technique looks so
cute and is so easy. Look at that block. I can see
right through it to tell I need a little bit more
ink. And in about three quick stamps, as fast as you
please, I’ve started this great border. Look this
great border that is going to proceed all the way
down. Just mix the colors, try not to mix up — try
not to get widths that are too similar or colors
that are too similar. And you’re going to have a
beautiful variegated border in minutes. I promise
you the Washi Wonder set you are going to use again
and again. So what are you waiting for? Contact your
