Rubber Stamping & Card Making with Yapha

Stampin’ Up’s new Occasions mini catalog is here and it is full of fabulous stamp sets, gorgeous paper, and wonderful accessories! You can purchase from it now through the end of June. One of the amazing things about this mini catalog is that there are stamp sets available not only in English, but Spanish and French as well! (Not every set is available in both Spanish and French.) Below are the pictures for the non-English versions of the stamps. There is a great special coming up for April that should be available later today. I will post as soon as it is “live.” Email me for details if you just can’t wait.

ETA: The promotion is running now! For every $40 you spend from the Mini Catalog, you can choose one item off the “$10 and under” page in the big catalog!

Passover is coming up next week, and one of the things my family really likes to focus on are the ten plagues. Particularly the decorations — frogs and bugs more so than blood and boils. So I got it in my head to make a Ten Plagues Passover card. It took quite a few stamp sets, and a fairly loose interpretation of the plagues, but here is what I came up with:

The plagues (and the stamp sets I used)
1) Blood (Pick a Petal)
2) Frogs (Hoppy for You)
3) Lice (Hoppy for You)
4) Wild Beasts (Wild About You)
5) Cattle Disease (Pun Fun)
6) Boils (All in the Family)
7) Hail (Pick a Petal)
8 ) Locust (Bugs & Kisses)
9) Darkness (Chocolate Chip Cardstock)
10) Slaying of the First Born (All in the Family, Family Accessories Too)

Ink: Ruby Red, Garden Green, Not Quite Navy, More Mustard, Chocolate Chip
Cardstock: Creamy Caramel, Garden Green, Not Quite Navy, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Accessories: Stampin’ Write Markers
