More from the Weekend Crew Challenge

These two cards are a continuation from Friday's post using the Stampin' Up set, Natural Beauty! The set includes 6 stamps, and with the 4 cards, I was able to use all of the stamps in the set.

Our Weekend Crew challenge this week was to create cards using the same stamp or stamp set and see how different they can be! The top card was a little more labor-intensive because of the cutting, but I find cutting relaxing, so it wasn't a big deal! I had forgotten how much I love this little retired set.

The top card is also for this week's Copic Colour Challenge #51 (which is to use RV23, R29, and B12). I always love it when I have all of the marker colors to be able to participate!! My collection is growing steadily!

What can you do with one stamp set? The Weekend Crew Challenge

Well, the answer is, A LOT!! If you add some determination and a whole lot of free time!! There is never enough of the latter, but I have quite a bit of the former!! This is a set from Stampin' Up that used to be one of my favorites. Unfortunately, it has felt like Woody from Toy Story and Jessie from Toy Story 2 (just start singing, "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story 2 and we can all weep!).

I think you get the idea...the stamps you once loved are often replaced. This weekend is a renaissance of sorts. This is Natural Beauty from Stampin' Up, and it really is an awesome and versatile set.

Not only did I dust off the set, I hauled out my...gasp...embossing powders!! It was fun, and I have the glitter on my face to prove it!

The Weekend Crew is at it again...we're picking a stamp or stamp set and trying to use it different ways. Try it, you might like it!!
