summer mini & NEW catalog samples

I want to share with you some more cards.

For this first one, I used the Sunny Fun stamp set from the Summer mini catalog. Love those flip flops! I also used the Pinking Heart border punch, the window punch, and the modern label punch.

For this second card I used the stem stamp from the Bold Blossom set (summer mini) and the brand new Blossom Bouquet Triple layer punch for the flowers. This new triple punch is in the summer mini and is also carried over into the new IB&C. The background is Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper. I also used the eyelet border punch and basic pearls to add that finished touch.

More cards

I'd like to share a couple more cards with you. If you need further details, please don't hesitate to ask. Or just leave me a comment if you like them.

This first card uses the Strength & Hope set from the summer mini along with the Just Believe set from the IB&C (Idea book & catalog) and the Scallop Trim Border punch.

This second card used the Bold Blossom stamp set from the summer mini, along with several punches - including the new Postage Stamp punch that is also in the summer mini.

I'm back!

I have been a long time in posting. My scanner died and I have not been able to get a photo box yet. However, I have been stamping. So I got my camera out today and took several pictures. Will post a couple today and a few more real soon. I will start with cards using products from the Summer mini catalog. If you don't have a Summer mini, click on the button on the left sidebar or contact me.

This first card is a birthday card I created for my son, Brad. I used the Sail Away stamp, Nautical Expedition designer series paper, along with the Cherry Cobbler/white Baker's Twine.

This second card was created using the Strength & Hope stamp set and the Postage Stamp Punch. With the purchase of this stamp set, SU! will donate $2 to the Breast Cancer Reseach Foundation.

Please leave me your comments. And watch for my next posting real soon.

I do have the new 2011-2012 Big Idea & catalog available. You can get your copy one of these ways:

• purchase it for $9.95 (c0mes with a $5 coupon towards your first purchase.)
• host a workshop and get it FREE
• get it FREE with your first purchase of $75
• or you can click on the sidebar button to see an online copy

New Catalog will be here before you know it

Wow, I have seen some previews of the NEW 2011-2012 catalog! Although I haven't seen the actual catalog yet, from what I see, this will be the best catalog yet. Of course, I say that every year. I don't know how they can just keep getting better and better every year, but they do. SU! really does listen to us.

If you'd like a catalog reserved for you, please contact me ASAP. I will be taking orders at $5 each (which includes a page of coupons). Preordering will make sure that you get one as soon as possible. Once my original order of catalogs is gone, it takes a while to get more ordered.

As you can also guess, the retiring list is out. Click on the link on the left to see the list of those stamp sets that will be soon retiring from the 2010-2011 catalog. The stamps will be available until June 30, however, accessories are "while supplies last" basis.

I hope to be getting some samples on here real soon. My scanner is down, so I will attempt to take some pictures and post them.

So don't forget:

• check out the retiring list, so you don't miss out on those sets you still have on your wish list.
• call or e-mail me to reserve your NEW catalog
• check your calendar to see when you would like to book a workshop (hint - you will love the new hostess plan)

Happy Stampin'

My new favorite color combo

Where is the summer going? Go away humidity - give me back my energy!

My new favorite color combo is Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler (sounds like you are sitting down to a scrumpious dessert and a cup of special coffee with a friend - doesn't it?) Both cards today use that color combination.

This first card that I would like to share with you uses products from the NEW SU! catalog. Owl punch - dotted scallop ribbon border punch - 2 3/8 x-lg scallop circle punch - and the square lattice embossing folder.

This second card uses the 2 3/8 x-lg scallop circle punch and the square lattice embossing folder along with our new pearl jewels.

If you don't already have a NEW catalog, I'd be happy to see to it that you get one.

Be sure to leave me a message to let me know what you think of my new favorite color combo.
