A clean & simple (or kwik & kool as I like to call it) congratulations card I made using a few of the single stamps, Butterfly Accent and Fine Flourish. I also used the Well Scripted stamp set.
All three stamp sets are currently not available for purchase, but I'm crossing my fingers that they will appear in the 2010 - 2011 Idea Book & Catalog (released July 1, 2010).
I did use one of the old In Colors, Pacific Point, that will make it's return in the new catalog. I am very excited about the "comeback"!!

My cousin recently had a baby boy... I decided to make her a set of thank you cards to send out for all the wonderful gifts I'm sure she'll receive.
Using the stamp sets Fox & Friends and Thank You Kindly, I quickly put together 3 styles of thank you's.
I packaged them up inside one of Stampin' Up!'s new clear mount DVD style cases (above). They fit perfectly inside along with envelopes all ready to mail out.
Coming soon: More sneak peeks from the upcoming Summer Mini catalog!

As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I am allowed to take part in a pre-order about one month before a new catalog is released.
The next catalog to be released is the 2010 Summer Mini. Customers will be able to order from it beginning May 1, 2010.
I pre-ordered a few things and played with my new order on Friday. On this card you'll see two sneak peeks ... one is the stamp set called Watercolor Trio and the other is Smooch Spritz in the color Gold Glow.
Watercolor Trio is not a set I would usually go for, but I loved the samples in the new catalog so much that I decided to go outside of my comfort zone. I can see so many possibilities with this set and look forward to exploring and creating.
The Smooch Spritz adds a bit of bling - the splash of gold was the perfect finishing touch on this card. I love it!
It's the first "official" holiday without my Mom. She always had a way of making every holiday extra special. But we'll be thinking of her and sending her love all day long.
I wish all of you a Happy Easter filled with family, love and warm memories.
Here are a few birthday cards I made over two weeks ago ...
Both cards use the Vintage Vogue and Well Scripted stamp sets. I wanted to use the Vintage Vogue set and give it a more modern twist. I did so by using the Bold Brights color family by Stampin' Up!
Excuse my short post as I am still adjusting to the loss of my Mom. I hope that stamping and blogging will be a creative outlet for me as I go through this incredibly difficult time.
