Confession time and I must say….when I discovered it – I laughed and thought  – oh well….life happens! Yesterday I vowed to myself to stay away from the computer as I have lots of baking to be do and that did get accomplished….but when I went to post – I see that my post did not go off yesterday as I forgot to hit that final schedule button!

I guess you could say, "I had a bye day" Here you go as I shared with you that I was going to highlight some of my all time favorite stamps from the annual catalog….and today these 2 stamp sets are winners in my eyes…love, LOVE!

Remember at the end of the blog you will see the products that I am using and all you have to do is "click on it" and PRESTO….it can be yours! Today is also the day that stampin up offers a new batch of goodies! – Click here to see them! My favorite this week…..tough one…I adore the framelits as they are such time savers….but both of the stamps being offered are wonderfull as well!

Let's get to it…..this is a great card that is clean and simple yet fun! I love the fresh feel it gives and wowzers, you can use so many different sentiments – oh so versatile!

This is a note card size and the FUN paper is a NEWBIE on the block starting Janurary 6th (and YES – I will be doing a paper share) so you will be able to get a full sheet of this paper as it is from a paper stack called Stacked with Love ….so fun! (You are going to love it)

Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog

I have blogged before with this stamp set and I really think that this is one that is just practical to the max and I must admit, the 1st time I went through the catalog, I totally overlooked it! I think it is great that you have a punch that works with it!

 

The crushed curry did not photograph well….it loks sper bold here but in real life, it is a great color with the DSP and Night of Navy! A very lassic color combination!

When I do a layout like this….I stamp the flower on the cardstock and then I also stamp it on a piece of scratch paper and POPPED it out…this way if you look from the side view….your bases are covered!

 

I highly reccomend using the Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement!

 

I also used the Labels Framlits to create the focal backdrop and then used stampin' dimensionals to "LIFT IT UP" This is an easy yet effective way to jazz up a card!

 

I hope that you can see that not only this is a great layout – but these are 2 great stamp sets that I definitely think will get great mileage….I call these KEEPERS!

 

Please feel free to email me, and yes I have learned my lesson and will have my laptop open! Enjoy the day, make memories and get ready for the BIG Holiday!

 

Until tomorrow!
