Embellished Boquets

I am very thankful these days for all of the support I have from my family and friends.  The way I let them know that I appreciate them is by making and sending them hand made cards.  Here are two cards that I made recently using the Embellished Events (found on page 40 in Stampin' Up!'s 2012-2013 Idea Book & Catalogue).  Both cards are made with Stampin' Up!'s new 2012-2014 In-Colors (Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green).  The top card uses the new In Color Dahlias (found on page 152) to embellish the boquet of flowers, where as the bottom card uses the Brights Designer Buttons and Pearls Basic Jewels for the flower embellishments.  Which one do you like the most?

RMHC Moving Forward

This stamp image is part of Stampin' Up!'s Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC)  You will find this image along with 7 others on page 209 of the Idea Book & Catalogue.  When you purchase this stamp set Stampin' Up! donates time and money ($3.00 US) to support RMHC.  A stamp set that helps charity is just my kind of stamp set. 

I made this card for a friend of mine and surprised her by mailing it to her.  :)

Embellished Events Birthday Card

I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying the beautiful warm weather we have been having.  I think the temperature reached 34 degrees today.....thank goodness for cool basements with stamping supplies!

Here is a card I made with a brand new stamp set out of the new 2012-2013 Idea Book & Catalogue.  It is called Embellished Events.  You can find this stamp set on page 40.  This stamp set is right up my alley as it is filled with bold image crisp images.  As you probably already know that bold images is what I use most but perhaps I may need to expand my stamping horizons by also using some detailed stamp sets.  My wishlist keeps on growing every time I open up the new 2012-2013 Idea Book & Catalogue.

This card also features Stampin' Up!'s new 2012-2014 In-Colors....Summer Starfruit, Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals.

If you look really closely at the candles you will see I added some Dazzling Details to give them some sparkle.  I also added Pearl Basic Jewels on the Raspbery Ripple layer of the cake.  I love the variety of different Stampin' Up! accessories.

In-Colors Betsy's Blossoms Card

The new 2012-2014 In-Colors are quickly becoming my favs.  The Gumball Green color is very similar to Wild Wasabi it is just a couple of shades lighter and the Summer Starfruit is a bit darker than Daffodil Delight.  I also like the deep color of Raspberry Ripple and the bright rich color of Primrose Petals.  If you don't have these new in-colors already you should definetly add them to your wishlist.    You will see the words on both cards have little frames around them and were cut out into a banner type shape.  The stamp set for the words is called Itty Bitty Banners and it has a matching Big Shot product...........Bitty Banners Framelits.  I have never used Framelits before and can also tell you that these products (stamp set and framelits) will soon be a fav of mine.  With all of these new catalogue products I think I may just have to have a STAMP CAMP.  Check back soon for details......
