I'm still in that "Candy Store" with excitement of the new catalog! I feel like having a count down until I can share EVERYTHING with YOU! Please know, my customers will be receiving their catalog next week (fingers crossed) and you can start looking and letting you mind go wild….remember the Catalog goes live to order on June 2nd!
Here is a sneak peak of a card that was made my a new stamp set! This is a KEEPER of sets and one that will definitely need to find a way to your home…as it is very fun and forgiving!….What do I mean by that? Well…there are many different stamps in the set that You can stamp "hear and there" and you will always look good…as the sentiment says…."You are a fabulous work of art" (Isn't this font fun!!!!)
You know me…the "maker of cards for a purpose"…well this is going to be for my precious god-daughter! The minute I saw this stamp set I know that I could make her a card the was fun, yet youthful…very colorful and this sentiment is her all over!
I know that many of you were sad that the Water Color DSP is going "bye-bye" but this stamp will allow you to creat your own fun! You can see below in the photo how I just stamped it using Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Daffidil Delight! (YIKES – sorry for the bad picture!!!!)
- The card size is a regular A-2 but scored at th 5 1/2" side making it a vertical card and then the layer in which the heart is cut out is 5" X 4" ( the piece that I stamped on was a scrap – just make sure that it is wide enough to stamp the image!)
- Before you adhere the cut out piece to the stamped piece, take the paper piercing tool and the Occasions Paper Piercing Guide and have fun! This is something that I forget to do….but when I do – I love it! Just adds the fun splash to make a card to to a quick WOW!!! Corner round the upper edges with the Envelope Punch Board before you adhere it to the Melon Mambo piece…5 1/4" X4 1/4"
- I stamped the sentiment in Black Staz On Ink and naturally I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig as I wanted to to be a perfect placement!!!! LOVE this font!
- I POPPED up the whole piece with Stampin Dimensionals….(these are one thing that I never skimp on…they are such a great value and the effect they give is WOW….always make sure that you support the middle of your card….who likes a "saggy" card!?!?
Doesn't it look so clean and crisp this way!
Doing little touched like rounding corners….adding dimensionals….making clean and sharp cuts (always keep an extra blade for your stampin' trimmer) as there is nothing more frustrating than cutting a bunch of paper to only find out you need to change your blade and you do not have a spare!
- Last….envelope time!!! Woot-woot – my favorite…..I did a double whammy today! The liner was from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack with the must have envelope liner framelit! The outside….I simply stamped with other stamps that are in this set….to make the mailman smile!
Well….what do you think? Super cute set…right? This is the set that they gave us at the Preview Party and everyone was thrilled to have it! It truly is so versatile and one that will be easy to use…and also one that you will be able to "fill in here and there"
I am sure that you have seen the cover of the new catalog….and if not – here you go….have fun playing "eye spy" – I haven't actually looked real hard to see how many new products are on there…..have fun looking at it! (click on it to make it BIGGER and get your reading glasses out)
From the comments and emails I have had yesterday….it looks like you all are getting my daily posts!!!! WOOT-WOOT – you have no idea how happy I am with having that behind me (fingers and toes crossed)
Please share the Simple Stampin' fun with your family and friends and if you do not have a Stampin Up! Demonstrator, I would LOVE and be honored to work with you! If you do not have a SUD, I will be more than glad to mail you a current catalog…..please email me and I will be in touch with you….
Have a GREAT day and until tomorrow…..

Great card. Love the stamping you did behind the heart. WOW! I love the Stamp-a-Ma-Jig too. Can’t wait to my in an order for the new catty. 🙂
What a great card for your god-daughter! So sweet! I love the “Work of Art” stamp set … thank you so much, Susan!
Love the card. I when I first saw the image, I thought it was the Ikat stamp.
The new stamp set combines some new images and great font. Thanks for the Framelits idea. I always forget to use it like that.
Such a fun and cheerful card! That sentiment is great!
I can’t wait to see the new catalog. *Sigh.* I hope to see the French one in July when it comes out, which is BEFORE I will get my mail in NC. I plan to go online on June 2 to look at the catalog online, but it isn’t the same.
Thank you for sharing your work of art!
Cyberhugs to you!
Love it! Great card. TFS
Double woot-woot – I received the second one of your blogs by Email! This card is just that crisp and clean and oh, so fun! I love it. Now, I gotta get the heart framelits as well as the piercing pack too! Is there no end to what I need or want?!? Work of art, indeed! Since my first love was needlework – I have always loved Bargello so these chevrons are a natural love for me! If that envelope doesn’t make the postal carrier smile, I don’t know what would! Have a great weekend. It is Tulip Time here and there are zillions of people passing by! I hope to go check out the basset hound this weekend too!
I was asked to make a card for co-worker who is moving and will be missed from our workplace. I could not get to sleep last night because my mind wouldn’t stop thinking of something to create. I was so mad that I had lost sleep about it, until I turned my computer on today and saw your post of such a simple card, ‘a heart’ and sad ‘that’s it’!
I will create the words ‘You Will Be Missed’ on my silhouette and create the heart as you did on this card. Thanks so much for the simple, great idea. And I hope I get more sleep tonight since I now know what to make, thanks to ‘YOU’, Susan! Love your card!!
Cute card. Love the cheery colors you used and the piercing around the heart. Have a great weekend.
What a great card. Love it! Makes me happy!
