Dasher - dashing out of the catalog

Welcome back.  Today we're saying a fond farewell to Dasher.  This is one of our A la Carte stamps - it's not part of a set, but is sold singly.  Again - it's such a versatile stamp.  I know I say that a lot, but I guess that's because Stampin' Up! designs a lot of versatile stamps! :)  My Dasher stamp has seen an abundance of ink over the years, so he's probably happy to be retiring so he can get some rest. :-D

Here are some samples to drool over:

Dasher really lends himself to be inked up with Stampin' Write markers.

Here the artist inked up the antlers with Real Red and the body in Chocolate Chip.

One of my favorite color combinations is red with a light/medium blue, like we see here.

Here Dasher is stamped on some retired Designer Series Paper that has the look of

the Emboss Resist technique.  Notice the little bird that the artist has perched on Dasher's antlers.

Speaking of Emboss Resist, Dasher is a great stamp for that, since it's a silhouette stamp.

Dash also works great with our heat embossing powders - here the artist used silver.

The silver/navy/white color combo is a holiday classic.

And Dasher also looks great just stamped straight in one color.

He can hold his own as a focal point.

This was one of the cards we made at my Christmas Card Camps last year.

Dasher is embossed in white on Night of Navy card stock.

If you look closely, you can see the paper piercing in the lower right corner of the white.

Again, here Dasher is inked in one color as a focal point.

I offset the focal layer and added texture to the background.

As always, you can see all the retiring items through my online store here (click on Retiring Products on the left).  You can also purchase items from the Clearance Rack or any other products with your retiring items.  Remember, stamps are available until May 31st, but all other Retiring Products are available only while supplies last.  So get your favorites now!

See you soon,
