This set, Best Thoughts, can be found in the Hostess section of the new catalog. It can only be used as Hostess Rewards and you cannot purchase this set. It is absolutely my fav of all the hostess sets. I used Melon Mambo on the flower and mossy meadow on the leaves. The butterfly is Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey. I highlighted this with our White uni-ball Gel Pen found on page 163 of the AC. If you would like this set contact me HERE to find out how you can this FREE.
If you were a member of my Wednesday club you would have also made this card. I love the new Bohemian DSP page 142 of the new AC. The colors I used match the DSP and are Bermuday Bay, Rich Razzleberry and Delightful Dijon. The stamp set is You’re So Sweet, found on page 57. 
This set also coordinates with the Mini Treat Thinliets Dies. So Cool! You can purchase this as a bundle and save 15%.
This was another card we made at Wednesday morning club. I used the new DSP Neutrals collection and the stamp set, Guy Greetings found on page 98 of the new AC. After I completed the card I felt it needed a little something more so I added the heart punched out from the Red Glimmer paper, page 149. In addition, I used the Basic Black Bakers twine, page 158. The file tab was created using the file tabs Edgelits on page 172.
I love the new neutrals DSP stack. It is so awesome. These are a couple of designs from that new item. I love a black and white card. It is so sophisticated. I used the framelits from the Mini Treat bag. The stamps set is Your’re so sweet found on page 57 of the new AC. We made this at our Wednesday morning Club.
This is my swap for our Carolina Girls Get together. I used the new stamp set, You’re so Sweet (to be released with the new catalog on June 2nd), along with the set Butterfly Basics page 26 of the OC. BTW, this set will carry over to the new catalog. WOOT WOOT! I used some of the new Bohemian DSP for the banners and the colors, Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, and Crushed Curry. Hope you like it!
I am so glad that this set, Sea Street, page 48 in the AC is being carried over to the new catty. I loved this set the first day last year when I saw it and I still love it. It is one of the most versatile sets that we carry. It goes great with the Banner Banter, page 111. I used the Bohemian DSP, new this year, inks Blackberry Bliss, Delightful Dijon, Bermuda Bay and Mint Macaron. In addition, I used the new Bohemian Washi Tape. Hope you like it.
Okay this card has 12 layers and is not one that I want to make very often but I do like the way it turned out. I cannot take credit for the composition of the layers and design because it was given to me at a private swap at the convention. I liked it so much that I substituted card stock and DSP. I do not remember who created it but if you were in the same swap and know who designed this card, let me know so I can give her credit for this beautiful design.
I created this card for our Great nice who just graduated from high school in Atlanta and is going to Alabama at Tuscaloosa. Of course, these aren’t Bama’s colors but I couldn’t resist our new DSP soon to be available in the new catalog coming out June 2nd. The mustard color is one of our new in-colors called Delightful Dijon. It does look a lot like More Mustard, if you remember that color. The sentiment is from the stamp setAdventure Awaits, page 41 in the OC.
If you are like me, you will be excited that this set, Celebrate Today, page 11 with the matching Framelits will be in the new catalog, soon to be released. Right now you can purchase it as a bundle with 15% off. Great deal and can be used for several different occasions. I used the Birthday Bash Designer washi sheets over whisper white card stock for the balloons. Inks used were Coastal Cabana and Sahara Sand. Sentiment is from Photopolymer set, Lovely Amazing You.
I used inks Night of Navy and Crushed curry on this card. Stamp set can be found on page 69 of the AC. You will be happy to know that this set will carry over to the new catalog. I, for one, am elated over that. I have used this set a ton and want to keep on using it. It is another one of those set that are always in style. I used the framelits, Apothecary Accents, page 230 of the AC, that will soon retire so if you don’t want to miss out on these framelits, I suggest you order now.
This set, Hello There, page 237, in the AC, will soon be gone. It’s funny that I didn’t see this set before now. I just noticed it and realized I have never used it. I love the font and wish we carried more of this font type. This is one of those sets where you make a very simple card look like it took a long time to create, I used Hello Honey In color. Hope you like it.
I used this In color on another baby card…got baby on the brain for some reason. Anyway, the set I used is Something for Baby with the matching framelits, page 74 of the AC. What is fabulous about this set is that it is so versatile with all the possibilities. Here I cut out all the items on this page with the matching framelits. The sentiment is from one of our Photopolymer sets, Sweetie Pie, which unfortunately is now sold out.
I will add here that is you are interested in purchasing the photopolymer stamp sets that are announced throughout the coming months, it’s a good idea to jump on it immediately and purchase it because they will only be available for 6 months after they are released. They go very fast.
From what I have heard from everyone, customers and fellow demonstrators, is that this in color is going to be missed the most, and I agree. If you look back at some of my past posts you will see that I used this color a lot. Here I used it in a baby card with the set, Something for Baby, page 74 of the AC and the matching framelets, Baby First. We can all breathe a sign of relief because both of these items are being carried over to the new catalog, soon to be released on June 2nd.
Well we all know that graduations are just around the corner and we all have someone, family, friend, neighbor who is graduating. Several sentiments from this set, Adventure Awaits, page 41 of the OC, can be used for many Graduates. I love them all and hoping this set carries over to the new annual catalog. I did a water wash on the shimmery card stock with Coastal cabana and Island Indigo. I used the Framelit from Apothecary Accents (soon to retire) on page 230 of the OC, to cut out the sentiment.
Well this is another card for Father. It could be Father’s Day or Happy Birthday. I used the very masculine stamp set, Guy Greetings, page 41 in the OC. In addition, I used the Adventure Bound Paper Stack found on page 40. I colored the silver button with a red sharpie.
I used shimmery card stock and stamp embossed the image in white. I colored it with Aqua painters using Island Indigo and Coastal Cabana. I used Wild Wasabi for the leaves. This is such a beautiful set, Indescribable Gift, page 35 of the OC. I love the sentiment from Painted Petals, page 19, also from the OC.
Some of my favorite new In-colors are Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey. I am so glad they will be around for another year. Although I am sorry to see our beautiful pastel in-colors leave I am excited to see what the new year will bring. I used the stamp set Four Feathers with the matching framelits, both carried over from the HC. See page 49 of the OC. I colored the gold button with Crumb cake Blendabilities and used Linen twine for my bow.
Here is more of the washi Tape sheets found on page 11 of the OC. I used the Pansy Punch to cut them out. The center of the flowers are the Itty Bitty Epoxy stickers found on page 28 of the OC. I colored them with Blendabilites. However you can color them with any alcohol pens like Sharpies, Copics or Blendabilities. The border on the top is from the set Chalk Lines, page 114 in the AC.
I really like Pink Pirouette and Sahara Sand together. I used the berry Basket and cut just one part of it out to create this card. I used the set From the Garden, page 20 OC, and the Handpicked Framelits, same page. I used the DSP, Something Borrowed. I punched all the flowers out with various punches and embellished them with both Candy Dots and Rhinestones. I filled in with the incolor sequins. Hope you like it.
You can purchase this set and the framellits as a bundle and get 15% off. That price is good through June 2nd.
You guessed it, this is the little Baby Bumblebee, missing the wings and antenae (page 39 OC). Don’t you just love this card? Shelli our Co-Founder of SU created this card for Leadership and I pretty much cased the whole thing off the video. I did have to change a few things around only because I didn’t have everything she used, but I think it came out stinkin’ cute anyway. I also did the little girl because I didn’t want you to think that I had preferences to either sex. LOL
The DSP and the buttons are Sweet Dreams and can be found on page 39 of the OC. Colors used were Lost Lagoon and Crisp Cantaloupe with Sahara Sand.
This is the first year that I missed Leadership since I became a Manager. I love to be there in person because you learn so much at these events.
This set has the best sentiments and I love the script they used. You have probable noticed how much I have used this set. It is the Photopolymer set for March 2015 and still available #140594. I embossed the vine (Bordering Blooms, page 162 in the AC) with Pool Party EP. The beautiful accessories on this card can be found on page 39 & 43 of the OC. I colored the heart button with Alcohol Inks (Sharpies).
Not too early to start thinking about those May graduations coming up. I used the Stamp set, Celebrate Today found on page 11 of the OC. I also used the matching framelit dies also on same page. You can get both of these items for 15% off regular price by purchasing the bundle. Such a great deal for such a versatile set.
I created this card with the stamp set From the Garden found on page 20 of the OC. I used the matching Framelits also on page 20 to cut out the images. So much fun. Right now you can get this as a bundle and receive a 15% discount. Pretty versatile set.
In addition, I used this month’s new photopolymer set, Lovely Amazing You #140594 for the sentiment. Love the font on this set.
Last Thursday it was 82º and it was so beautiful outside. I said “Thank You Lord for this beautiful weather.” However, the next day the temp drop 40º but I know it’s not going to stay cold for very long. Spring and Summer is my favorite times of the year. I can’t take the cold weather….I need heat!
I guess that is why I just had to have this new Berry Basket Die, page 21 of the OC, the stamp set, From the Garden, page 20 with the matching Framelits. I used the DSP Something Borrowed, page 42, Baked Brown Sugar Card Stock and the white gel pen. This keeps the thought of spring around the corner.
You can get this beautiful DSP or this fantastic stamp when you spend $50 on merchandise through the end of this month. In fact with $100 order you can get them both. The paper is Best Year Ever on page 4 of the SAB catalog and the stamp set, Big Day, is on page 12. Contact me HERE if you need a catalog.
I have lost track of how many cards I have designed with this set. It has to be the most versatile set ever. I used Pink Pirouette and Crumb Cake. I colored the pearls with Pink Pirouette Blendabilities. This is one of the cards we made at the last camp. Everyone loved it, hope you do too!
WARNING: I had something happen with this set. The little stamp that says New York is gone. I think I threw it out with the trash when I cleaned up the dinning room table. It is so small that it is easily missed so be careful when you are stamping with these little stamps, especially if they are photopolymer. I love this set so much I will buy another one because I have to have that missing stamp.
I was inspired to make this little treat box that was posted on Stampin’Connection by Demo Andrea Brewster. I changed it up with the sentiment but used her same colors. Thanks Andrea for your creative use of this die cut.
This set is so versatile, Butterfly Basics and I love that you can get the matching thinlits as a bundle for a 15% discount, see page 26, OC, for the details. Colors I used on this card were Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss.
I created this card using the beautiful DSP, Something borrowed found on page 42 of the OC. Other items from this card can be found in the same catalog. Balloon and framelits on page 11, Artisan Embellishment kit page 27, Sahara Sand ribbon page 43, and Sweet Dreams Washi tape, page 39.
I created this Easter card with the set called Happy Easter Bunny, page 35 of the OC and he is a happy little guy and so stinkin’ cute! I used Blendabilites and DSP called Best Year Ever, page 4 of the SABC. You can get this DSP FREE with a $50 purchase before tax and shipping. I used the ribbon, same page that mathes this DSP. It also has matching buttons. Both the Ribbons and Buttons you can get FREE with a $50 purchase. Such a Deal!
Did you know that you can choose as your FREE item from the SABC a package of Blendabilites? You can read all about it and the colors available on page 20 of the SABC. Contact me here if you do not have an SAB Catalog.
This is one of my favorite stamp sets in the OC. You can find it on page 26 and it is also a bundled set that if you buy both the set and Thinlits you get a 15% discount. Details are listed on page. I think my favorite image in this set is the honeycomb. It is right up my alley. I love textured images. It also has great sentiments, like this one about the caterpillar.
The colors I used on this were Mossy Meadow and Calypso Coral. I embossed the background paper with the EF Spring Flowers Textured Impressions, page 19 of the OC.
I made this card, again, for another friend that I do water aerobics with. I made it extra large so we could all sign it. I love to color this image with blendabilites in all different colors. Using different colors, on the animals, every time I use this stamp, takes the boring out of multiple stamping. I like to make up these get well cards in advance so that I can just pull one out when the need arises. At my age, every one around me, including myself, are not always 100% healthy all the time. However, at the risk of repeating myself, being sick beats the alternative. LOL
We made this little bag with the new Thinlits Mini Treat Bag found on page 9 of the OC. I used the DSP Typeset from the AC and the in-color wide bakers twine also from that catalog. The stamp is colored with Stampin’write markers, topped off with one of our lovely embellishments, Something borrowed. The hearts down the side of the bag are cut out with the same thinlits dies above, a combination of very versatile thinlits come in this package, not just the mini bag. Unbelievable buy for the money.
This is the neatest set, Celebrate Today found on page 11 of the OC. I used the DSP from SAB catalog (Best Year Ever, page 4) to go with it. I embossed in white, the balloons with a matching stamp and added Island Indigo with Coastal Cabana to deepen the color on the background. The balloons are cut out with the matching framelits, also found on page 11. You can get this stamp set and framelits at a 15% savings if you purchase the bundle. The DSP you can get FREE with a $50 purchase of merchandise before shipping and taxes.
This is a really cool masculine card. I love this set on page 12 SAB, that you can get FREE with a $50 purchase. I used the Back to Black DSP and embossed with white embossing powder and then colored the embossed Celebrate with Pool Party Blendabilities. Hope you like it.
