A Reason to Smile

Good evening, stampers! (or morning, or afternoon - depending when you're reading this!) 
I hope that wherever you are, you're having as nice weather as we are here - hot & sunny - perfect summer weather :)

Today I was busy making a birthday card for my BFF - but I'm giving it to her tomorrow, so I won't post it quite yet!  Instead, I'll share with you a card I made with a new, Special Limited Edition set - 'A Reason to Smile'

This great stamp set is ONLY AVAILABLE FROM JULY 1st - 31st for ONLY $5 with any order of $60 or more (before s/h & taxes) - in your choice of either wood or clear mount!!  What a deal!!

Here's a picture of what you get in the set

And here's the 'For You' card I made.  I had made it for one of my son's teachers (one of the perks of being a SU! demonstrator - I got to order mine early!) to give with a year end gift.

Recipe: Whisper White card base; 1st layer: Cherry Cobbler card stock, embossed with the 'Polka Dots' embossing folder; 2nd Layer: Whisper white card stock, stamped with the 'A Reason to Smile'  large flowers in Raspberry Ripple (back 2) and Primrose Petals, the smaller flowers in Raspberry Ripple, and the leaves are from the Papaya Collage stamp set. I 'bunched' the 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler across the bottom, and popped up the 'For You' sentiment on dimensionals.  The sentiment I stamped with the new 'Layered Labels' stamp, and die cut it with the matching 'Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies'.  I tell you - I love the framelits that match the stamp sets!!  It makes stamping and cutting so quick, and so professional looking! :)  To finish off the card, I adhered 3 small pearl accents in the left corner.

Now - if you want to own this versatile stamp set for only $5.00 - you have to act quickly!!  Here's how to order:

Only 9 More Sleeps!

Hello Stampers!

When you were little, did you count down the number of 'sleeps' until something exciting was going to happen - like your Birthday, or Christmas, or someone special coming to visit?  I did - but I'm not sure if it made the waiting any easier!

Right now, I'm counting down the number of sleeps 'til the New Catalogue goes LIVE!!
Only 9 more sleeps!! 

What are you hoping to see in the Catalogue?  The fabulous new stamps?  The In Colours?  Maybe some new Framelits or Dies for the Big Shot?  It's so exciting - I know you're going to love it!

And the Catalogue itself  - has a super new layout that's really 'user friendly',  colour and product groupings....  Well, to see it for yourself, just leave me a message here or email me at stampandcreate@shaw.ca and you can have your own Catalogue! 

In the meantime - here's another sneak peek for you - another new stamp set called Papaya Collage!

Once again I used the new In Colours - these will be around until 2014, so there will be lots of time to enjoy them!  The Summer Starfruit for the frame; Rich Razzleberry for the rose (and the 1st layer of cardstock); Gumball Green for the foliage; Midnight Muse layered over Gumball Green for the butterfly. 

Have sweet dreams, dreaming of the new Stampin' Up! catalogue - maybe I'll have time to create and post something else new tomorrow!

Until then - remember that there's only 9 more sleeps until all the Retired stamps and Accessories go away, too!  Make sure you click on my 'Shop Now' or 'Retiring Sets' buttons, and go shopping - before it's too late!

Happy Stamping!
