I created this using a lot of scraps and left over stuff. Although the colors in this are Pool party and Calypso Coral, they do look a lot like some of the new in-colors. Funny how they are now two of our new CORE colors. Interesting!
I love this new stamp set “Best of Brides and Babies” which is one of the 25th Anniversary’s “Best of” sets. You can purchase this for $14.95. They are new sets comprised of old retired stamps along with 1 new one, offered every month for a year. You can get a FREE stamp set from the catalog valued at $14.95, just by saving 6 of the little “25” stickers that come with each set. Contact ME to find out more. 
Note, the flower made with the clay mold in its natural white color.
You are going to love this clay which is a new product that SU is offering in the new Catalog starting June 1st. It is soooo easy to use. It is made by filling the molds with the clay and they pop out ready to use on your project. Here I colored it with one of our new in-colors, Strawberry Slush. Look for a lot of this in my samples, I am sold on it!
This is another stamp from the Best of Brides and Babies set. In addition, a new set (Label Love) that is being released with the new catalog that comes with a new Artisan Label punch. So cool!
Okay this is one of the clean and simple cards that so many people like. If you have been following me long enough you know I am not a CAS stamper. I just keep piling on, 1 or 2 layers are never enough for me.LOL I think this is a great masculine card! What do you think?
Not only do these colors sound delicious they are beautiful together. You are going to love our new in-colors. I know you are going to be sick of seeing these two colors by the time the catalog comes out…or maybe not!LOL
I love these new incolors. I used Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantelope together and the new Artisan Punch.
I really feel like I didn’t use this gorgeous DSP enough and now that it is retiring, I am scrambling to use it, especially since I have sooooo much of it. It lends itself to vintage technique that I am so fond of.
I have really enjoyed using this stamp set with the matching punch. There is so much variety with 11 stamps in this set. You can purchase this after June 1st from the new catalog.
This card was created using the embossing folders on page 5 of the Spring catalog. I sponged the card with Soft suede ink.
As part of our 25-year anniversary celebration, we’re bringing back some of our favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release-one set per month-during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each “Best of” set will also include a never-before-seen image!
As a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, we’re including a collector’s card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set. Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95! Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014.
You will be able to get this set FREE by hosting a party in your home or mine after June 1st. You are going to love all the beautiful free stuff you can get in the new catalog. I love the washi tape. Contact me to get yours.
This is another one of those hostess sets you are going to be able to get FREE hosting a workshop or a book party from the new catalog. Just lovely images! Also there will be a pansy punch in the new catalog that cuts out this blossom perfectly! Are you getting excited yet?
I want to wish every Mother out there a wonderful Day filled with love and family!
I just realized how much I have gone to this background paper for Mother’s Day. It is amazing how much the background changes when the base card color is changed.
We just traveled to TN for my Granddaughter’s First Holy Communion and this is a card I made especially for it.
This is a card I designed for the Artisan Design Team contest and then decided I didn’t like it well enough to enter it. What do you think?
I created this card with a new Hostess set to be released in the new catalog coming out in June. This set has so many beautiful images that you can water color. I just love it! In addition, this is the new DSP called Gingham Garden.
These flowers are also from the secret Garden collection. You can get them with the dies in a bundle and save some money. Page 17 in the Spring Catalog.
This set was part of a bundle that I got for free from SU for being a Manager. It came with the embossing folder, matching DSP, and the coolest matching punch. Love it!
I love vintage and you know if you follow me that it is one of my favorite techniques. This color is summer starfruit and I love how it looks when it is sponged with Soft suede.
Love this paisley DSP that comes in the Print Poetry book on page 16 of the Spring Catalog.
I am going to be posting some cards that you can copy for Mother’s day. Hope you like them. Hugs, Patti
This is a little sneek peek at one of our new stamps and matching embossing folders that will be sold as a bundle, if you prefer, in the new catalog to be released on June 1st.
This is one of the colors we will be saying Goodbye to in June. I really never used it much. It is one of those colors that is not quite dark enough and not quite light enough for me.
You can get this set with various sentiments by hosting a workshop or a book party. It cannot be purchased but is one of the sets offered as hostess benefits. I love all the various sentiments and they all go with “wishing you a”…. I used the bird builder punch and the big shot on this card.
This is one of those sets that are being retired. As you know I will be selling all my retired sets as of May 1st. So anything you see that you may be interested in, please put it on your list and check with me first to see if I have it before paying the full price for it online.
I love using this little sizzlet whale die. It is so stinkin cute. Since this card is made with Melon Mambo, I know just the little girl I am going to send this to.
I embossed this in black and used More Mustard, Daffodil Delight and Elegant Eggplant inks. I am finding lots of images to color with More Mustard now that it is going to be gone in June.LOL
I really love the colors from this big promotion. I love the stickers and everything that is included in this bundle. It is not just for making memories. Even after you make a memory book from it, you have tons of supplies left so why not used them on cards? That’s what I did here.
This is another card with the Cross my Heart set. Hope you like it. I used two of our in-colors with this, which are Pool Party and Calypso Coral, both of which SU is converting to our core colors. I am so happy because I use these colors all the time. Actually, out of the in-colors from 2012 we are keeping all of them except Lucky Limeade. WooWhoo!
Hello Stampers, Even though I will be gone I will try to post every day so you don’t think I fell off the face of the earth.
This card I created with the Cross my Heart stamp set in the Spring Catalog. I did use this set a lot for Valentines Day but I forgot about it. I spotted it on the shelf and decided to create a couple of cards with it so you can get some ideas of what to do with it.
I used Cajun Craze, Tangerine Tango & soft suede to water color these flowers and used my Aqua Painters. Hope you like the effect.
I know you must be sick of hearing me say how much I love this Tea for Two DSP. But it is soooo pretty. Every single sheet is gorgeous! I have already gone through 3 1/2 packs of it. I also love to use this Honeycomb embossing folder with this paper.
This paper is great for resist technique. No need to emboss as it is already embossed. Just add ink by sponging, daubers, or a brayer and the results are so striking! Love this card stock. It is sold on page 162 of the Big catalog.
I wanted to try my hand at cutting out the Fabric for this dress with the Big Shot. I actually had to design a blouse to go with the jumper from the pop up Bigz XL Die. I have so much of this beautiful fabric and I really need to start using it. I hope you were one of the lucky ones that picked up this gorgeous fabric at 50% off in March.
