Bright Blossoms

I can't seem to get enough of Stampin' Up!'s Summer Smooches, can you?  If you know me, I tend to only make cards that are quick and easy.  Life is too busy for me to spend more the 10-15 minutes stamping a card.  Here's another one that fits into that group---Notice too that you can simply cut the Decorative Lable Punch in half for this card.

Supplies:  Stamps-A Word for You, Summer Smooches; Cardstock-Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper; Inks- Lucky Limeade Pad, Island Indigo Marker, Lucky Limeade Marker; Accessories- Decorative Label Punch, Summer Smooches Fabric Designer Bras, Dimensionals, Paper Piercing Tool, 1" Square Punch (to make the tail on the greeting)---Susie :)

Brights Blossom Bookmark

Every month Stampin' Up! sends their demonstrators a great magazine full of ideas and tips.  For March, they had the "how to" on making this bookmark.  This card was inspired by the design from Mary Fish's website (one of my favorites) and tweeked it using the new products from Summer Smooches--which is a sneak peek from the upcoming 2012-13 catalog coming out in June.  Summer Smooches will be available to you beginning April 1st.  Not only did I use products from Summer Smooches, but also the new Simply Scored Diagonal Plate (do you have yours yet?).  Notice too that the background  is done with the Stripes Textured Imbossing Folder--you can get this item FREE with a $50 order during SU's Sale-a-Bration (end 3/31/12).  My Inkyfingers group had fun making this at our monthly meeting.  See all the Summer Smooches Details.

Supplies:  Stamps--Mixed Bunch, Loving Thoughts; Ink--Early Espresso; Cardstock--Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper; Accessories--Blossom Punch, 1" Circle Punch, Tangerine Tango Dotted Ribbon, Brights Buttons, Itty Bitty Buttons, In Color Brads, White Baker's Twine, Paper Piercing Tool, Dimensionals, Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Simply Scored Diagonal Plate, Sticky Strip.

Smooches to You!!

Do you love Summer Smooches?  Great announcement from Stampin' Up!  Beginning on April 1st (no, it's not a joke), SU is going to share a NEW SUMMER SMOOCHES SUITE with you from the NEW 2012-13 Idea Book & Catalog.

These are the stamps and brads that will be available in the Summer Smooches Suite.  There will also be Designer Series Paper and Daffodil Delight Seam Binding.  There's also some new fabric, digital downloads, and Big Shot die.  Isn't it just beautiful?  The colors are bright and fun!  Mine has arrived and I'm ready to start playing with it.  One of the fabulous things about being a demonstrator is that I get to order these types of items a month early so I can get plenty of samples made.
