I am such a traditionalist and I must admit…when Stampin' Up! came out with the Photopolmer Stamps…I was like…"What the heck are these"!!! I bought the 1st one they came out with and I found it very frustrating trying to get the letters the way I wanted them…
Last week when I logged onto Stampin' Up! I saw this INCREDIBLE stamp that said "Thank You" (the one on this card) and I was doing the "happy dance"…I simply could not read quick enough to see if it was single stamp….if it was a new stamp set…and then when I found out it was a Photopolymer Stamp, I thought…I need to have this!
Can you say clean, simple, crisp, classic…just fun all the way around!
I just love this card! It will work with a standard A-2 card size but I wanted this to make a statement of WOW so I make a 5" square card! You all know by know that I adore odd shaped cards!
The colors of Whisper White, Night of Navy and Gumball Green are so classic! I admit, I was a bit hesitant to see if the color would cover with such a dark color….and honestly – this was my 1st "go at it" worked like a charm with the 1st stamp!
One thing that I decided that I love about this style of stamps…you can see exactly where you are stamping as everything is clear! Storage is minimal as well…another added plus for many of us! Click here to watch a short video on the Photopolymer Stamps! I think that Stampin' Up will continue to come out with more!
There is really not much to say about this card and how to make it…as you can see this is a super easy one! Before I used the Boho Blossom Punch, I took the Gumball Green scrap piece of paper and balled it up…rolled it around in my hands….before I punched it to soften up the paper's fibers to give the punch a softer look and feel! Then the classic pearl was all this flower needed!
Using the Simply Scored Diagonal Scoring Plate made making a custom envelope a cinch! All I did was take a 8 1/2" square piece of paper and scored it at 3 7/8" on all sides and PRESTO!!!! The liner is from the In-Color Designer Series paper 2012-1014!
That's about it! It is soooo darn easy but the wow is soooo great! This stamp set is a keeper and also a bargain for all of these great sentiments!
This has been a busy yet fulfilling week for me…you know I am computer challenged and that I struggle with this whole technology side…(I've got the designing cards and posting figured out) – it's just the technical things of the layout of the blog that gets me!
I thank you for noticing that my blog "look" has been updated and tweaked a bit! A HUGE shout out and THANKS to fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Patsy Waggoner, for helping me with this endeavor! Once again, a perfect example of the relationships you build with fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators!

Thank you Patsy for all of your hard work, time and patience with me!!! This card is for YOU , my way of a BIG thank you for your time, suggestions and professionalism you have given to me this week!

Kudos to the blog revamp. Looks so nice and professional. Still patiently waiting for the debut of your video sessions. With your graphic talent and patience, you are a natural.
WOW! Your card is so stinking cute that I just have to CASE it. I am a CAS card maker and this is the best I have seem even though it has layers.
Since I started reading your blog I have become an avid envelope maker.
Thanks for sharing your ideas, knowledge and expertise.
Good Morning Susan, Yes a beautiful new blog page. You did a great job. I can just picture you and Patsy talking about it. The Thank You card is so nice. It is so crisp and WOW. I will have to try the crumpling of the card stock before punching out those little flowers. I also have this stamp set on my wish list. Have a great weekend. Thanks a bunch. 🙂
Love the card. So dramatic! Your new blog is so inviting. Love it.
Hi, now that is a WOWSER…..it jumps out at you and just makes you smile!!! LOVE IT.
I love this card (and all your cards)……and your new blog is …..simply classic and beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration you give to all of us!
So like the new border, so Susan.
Thanks for your time to not only create
but share with us (the hobbystamper,
that needs inspiration).
Love the color combo and stamp.
Susan,
Congratulations on getting the final elements of your blog fixed! It looks terrific. I love the way your signature, and shop now button all tie together. Woot woot, as you would say.
I also just got this polymer stamp set, my first. I was not as fortunate in the full coverage and had to stamp it a couple of times. In the end I did like the crisp look.
Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs,
Michelle
Susan/Patsy– I absolutely loooovvvveeee the new header and look. It’s beautiful! –Paula H. Vacherie, LA
Beautiful and classic all around…the blog, the card, YOU!
THanks for sharing!
I’m new to your blog. Such a lovely card! I also love the classic colors you used.
Thanks for sharing,
Sue
Love all the comments! I did linger over the banner a little longer today taking it all in before zooming on to that fabulous card! I have lots of the poly stamps from a competitor. I do like them since you can see where you are stamping. Gotta thank you for the big thank you card! My husband and office coworkers are always saying leave me a big note to remind me…. So, I take a full sheet of paper and put “This is your big reminder” on it. Your card maybe think of that with the big thank you. I love the colors you chose. The little crumpling added a little dimension to the flowers on the card. The pearls were just the right touch!
A big thank you for being MY cyber friend and daily dose of inspiration!
I love the new look! I also love that stamp! I can’t wait to get my set soon!
Susan, I love your blog header, Congrats on that. Also, love this stamp set. I just received mine yesterday and am so excited to break it out either tonight or tomorrow! Beautiful blog and great card! You never disappoint!
knock me over . . . beautiful card and gorgeous new blog look!
Nice new banner 🙂
My card arrived today Susan, It is even more beautiful in person! Loved the handmade envelope with liner – hate to have to tear them to open them. You have been a JOY to work with, and I too look forward to a long and wonderful friendship.
