Marvelous Possibilities

Mary & Debby’s 2013/2014 Stampin’ Up! CATALOG OPEN HOUSE Cottages of Willow Ponds Community Room 101 Willow Pond Trail, Lino Lakes June 13, 6:00 – 9:00 pm     We have our Stampin' Up! Open House tonight, and I have been so busy making samples.  I did not want to show off the cards that I have been making, as I did not want to spoil the surprise for those of you who will be attending.  This however, is a sneak peek of one of the Make-n-take cards that we will be making tonight.  Isn't it adorable?  I was taken by this stamp set from the moment I laid eyes on it in the new catalog.  I think it is the Scandinavian design, the simplicity, and the gingham that really drew me in.  The stamp set is called Kind & Cozy, and you will be seeing a lot more from me using this set.  The paper I used is Gingham Garden DSP, and just wait til you see these darling gingham and calicoes. Sure hope that you can join us tonight...

Thought I would share with you the card I made for our demonstrator's swap this week.  I love playing with new products from our new catalog, and that was the subject of our swap.  The base of my card is the new Strawberry Slush color, which is about the yummiest pink I have ever seen.  I used print paper from the Gingham Garden DSP, and a new stamp set Label Love.  You can get a matching punch called Artisan Label Punch, and bundle it with the stamp set for extra savings.  I used the punch to make little banners down the side of the card, too.  I love that our new catalog has lots of Bundles available with stamp sets, matching punches or embossing folders, etc.  We all love to save a little money when we get things that coordinate.  So, if you like what you see, let me know, and I will be glad to order for you.  Hope you are enjoying some lovely summer days, and find a little time to smell the flowers.
