I have made a few cards with this bundle since us demonstrators were able to order it early :).  Here is my latest and favorite so far

thoughtful branches thank youI embossed the hydrangea image on vellum with white embossing powder, cut it out and then layered that on a plain white flower. I wanted to stamp the sentiment in black but thought it was a bit harsh so I added the black mat and think that pulled everything together nicely :).

This bundle is available only during the month of August and “while supplies last”.  It is so pretty, I believe it will sell out very FAST! So please please please, do not delay and get your order is as soon as you can!signature2

The Floral Phrases bundle is so elegant!

As soon as I saw the Floral Phrases bundle, I knew I NEEDED it!  Does that ever happen to you? Surprisingly I didn’t get it on my first order, though. There were just too many things I wanted to order immediately from the new catalog!  I needed to pace myself :).

But I finally got it and made this card:

I used the new In Color, Sweet Sugarplum as the background and ink. Doesn’t this look elegant?signature2

My favorite stamp set in the new catalog is . . .

Baby Bear!

Isn’t he/she adorable!?!

It is hard to see in the photo, but in real life the hat, bowtie, and HAPPY sparkle with Wink of Stella.

My SIL’s birthday is July 4th so I wanted to make a cute but patriotic birthday card for her.  I am quite please with how it turned out.  And who doesn’t love a cuddly teddy bear!?! My MISTI came in handy with these stamps!

New In Colors!

Beginning June 1, 2016, you will be able to order our newest In Colors!  And they are gorgeous! I created a set of thank you cards using them and am in love!

In color thank you card setAren’t they fabulous!?! And I used a new stamp set called Swirly Bird, which IMO is a MUST HAVE set.  Be sure to get the bundle with the unique thinlits. You won’t regret it.

The new colors are Peekaboo Peach, Emerald Envy, Flirty Flamingo, Dapper Denim and Sweet Sugarplum.  Even the names are fabulous!

If you don’t already have a demonstrator and would like a new catalog, just let me know and I’ll get one in the mail to you 🙂

I will miss Blackberry Bliss, won’t you?

Every year, I am sad to see the In Colors retire.  But this year, I am more sad than ever before!  I LOVE Blackberry Bliss! Have you stocked up on Blackberry Bliss items if you love it, too? Better hurry before it is all gone!  Some of it already is sold out 🙁 .

So today I made a few cards with Blackberry Bliss.

the best day ever

Thankfully, the botanical blooms and coordinating framelits will be returning in the next catalog!

I can say, however, that the new In Colors that will be replacing the retiring ones are quite lovely!  But nothing compares to my beloved Blackberry Bliss. signature2
