It’s Here!

The Summer Mini Catalog is here and you can start ordering from it today! Just click on the catalog and it will start downloading. If you would like to place an order, you can click my order button on the right or email me with what you would like to purchase. I am looking forward to playing around with the new stamp sets as well as the Summer Entertaining Collection. The new stamps and paper make me feel as though I am in a tropical climate! So much fun! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Spring is Here!

Here is another flower using the Sweet Treat Cups. I used Orchid Opulence which is one of my VERY favorites but it will be retiring. I may just have to buy a few packages of this before it goes away!

Don’t forget that Friday is the last day to order from the Occasions Mini and then on Saturday, May 1st you will be able to order from the new Summer Mini Catalog! As a demonstrator I was able to preorder a few of the stamp sets a few weeks ago. Tomorrow I will show you a card using the Sweet Scoops set and Watercolor Trio!

Thanks for stopping by! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me!

Color Renovation!

Stampin’ Up! announced on Tuesday that we will have some new color collections in July! Some colors are retiring, some In Colors are being brought back and there will be some brand new colors as well! Two of my favorite In Colors, Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo, will be staying and not retiring! This is exciting news! I can’t wait to see the new colors. I will post more information later today but here is a chart that shows you the new collections!

Sunflowers

I love my new banner! Michelle Laycock from Laycock Designs just finished designing it for me. It is so much fun to have something that is so pretty!

Here is my card for today. It is a 3×3 card that was inspired by Dawn Olchefske. You can check out the larger cards that she made here. She always has such nice things on her site.
I used our watercolor crayons and an aqua painter to color in my image. The stamp set is A Flower For All Seasons. I used my Big Shot and textured impressions folder to acheive the raised frame for my sunflowers. In the next few days I will post other 3×3 cards that I made. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sweet Treat

Here is a card I made using the Sweet Treat cups. Sorry if it is a little hard to see on the white background. I found the idea for this card from Mary Fish who does beautiful work. You can see her card here. I just changed a few things. She uses the small and large oval punch but I only had the large oval. I think it turned out nice. Next time I will sponge the petals a little bit more. I have never liked the look of sponging but after this card I am definitely hooked and will keep trying it out.
