Before you give me…"The Boot"…as I said that today I was going to do the pro's and con's of envelope lining….I realized that it was silly to do so before the new catalog is out as there is no way that I can "link" you to the items and also show you pictures of the new envelope framelit!

The new catalog launches on Thursday, August 1st and being that Thursday is the Pals Paper Art Challenge…I will do my envelope chat on Friday….sorry but I hope you understand and I also hope you enjoy today's post….I think it is really cute and fun!

I was SUPER happy that in the new catalog, the Bootiful Occasion Stamp Set is carried over as I love it and think it is just FUN!!!

On Friday, at my "other" job there was a Burgers and Bull theme party where we had a fabulous array of all different types of burgers and a mechanical bull! I wanted to send the "Guest Chefs" a thank you for sponsoring this fun evening!

Being a bit "square" – I pulled out the Square Framelits to make this fun happen! Please play around with these gems…I am super happy that Stampin' Up! continues to come out with more and more framelits! WOW – it makes it easier for all of us!

It is literally amazing with all of the different options you can do with mixing and matching different sizes to create the look that says "YES"!!! The best tip I can give you is….just pull out some scrap paper and play!

After stamping with Soft Suede, I "free hand" cut the boot out (without the sentiment) – set it aside to stamp the sentiment first! This simple "thank you" comes from the beautiful stamp set, Regarding Dahlias!

Tip….when you look at stamp sets….look at the BIG picture before you make a decision. At first glance…you focus on the big flower…when I first saw this stamp set… I was not super fond of the flower as it was SOOOO big – but I love the sentiments and I know that I would use them over and over….THEN I fell in love with the flower after seeing other ideas using them!

Adding Stampin' Dimensions to the back of the "BOOT" made it pop to first class fun!!! I thought come Regal Candy Dots would be a perfect bling that is masculine and fun!

As always….it's lining time! Love the effect it gives  – the In Color Designer Paper was the perfect choice to make the card come to life! Using "my method" of lining was a cinch! (remember to check back Friday for the post on envelope lining!)

I hope that you enjoyed this "thank you" square card! The dimensions of the are is 5 1/2" square….and you know I love square cards!
