So In Love

So In Love, So Detailed, Valentine, Stampin Up, susanstamps.wordpress.com

Valentine’s Day is only a week away.  If you haven’t started yours yet, here is a simple and easy card to make.  I know I have said this before, but again, the best thing about Stampin’ Up! is all the products coordinate.  They have stamp sets with matching Thinlits or Framelits.  They have Designer Series Paper and cardstock that all coordinate.  They have embossing folders you can mix and match with.

In this case I used a bundle called So In Love.  It includes a stamp set by the same name and Thinlits called So Detailed.  Both the stamp set and the Thinlits are very lacy and elegant.  To make this card, I only had to cut our the lacy wrap and stamp on it in the middle.  Then I just ran a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock through my Big Shot using the Happy Heart Embossing Folder.  Then it was just a matter of putting it together.

Have you started your Valentine’s yet?  Better get a move on!

So Detailed Thinlits Dies

So Detailed, Stampin Up, susanstamps.wordpress.com

So Detailed Thinlits Dies are in the 2017 Occasions Catalog.  They are a set of three dies.  Two of them are belly band dies which means you wrap them around cardstock and tuck each end underneath.  You can make them slide off if you don’t attach them directly on the card stock.

In this case, I decided to cut off the ends that normally wrap around and just place a piece of Sweet Sugarplum cardstock underneath it.  I took one of the hearts that get cut out when using this die and glued it next to the sentiment.  The Designer Series Paper is called Floral Boutique.  Each piece is Whisper White and Night of Navy.  It is very elegant.  The sentiment is from All Things Thanks.

I was looking through my camera yesterday and found this picture of Madelyn on Christmas Day.  She makes me so happy.  Can you tell?

A Stamp Off Color Challenge

Stamp Off Logo Clean

Today Jackie, Buffy and I are doing a Color Challenge.  I am pretty sure Buffy gave us this challenge since it uses some of her favorite colors.  I do have to admit, they are not my favorites but Blushing Bride has grown on my so I am using it much more than I used to.

So Detailed Thinlits, So In Love, Stampin Up, susanstamps.wordpress.com

I used some new products from the 2017 Occasions Catalog to make this card.  The stamp set is called So In Love.  The background was made using the So Detailed Thinlits.  This stamp set and Thinlits are available in a Bundle so you can save 10% by purchasing both.  I cut the background out three times and then pieced them together to look like they are all one.

Sneak Peeks

As you already know, I attended OnStage Local in Secaucus, New Jersey last weekend.  One of the great things we got was a copy of the upcoming 2017 Occasions and Sale-a-bration Catalogs.  I can’t show you what is inside these fabulous catalogs but I can show you the covers.  If you look carefully you will see some of the new products that will be in them.  You will be able to order from both of these catalogs beginning January 4, 2017.

Another fun thing we did at OnStage Local is make ‘n takes.  We got to make four of them.  Here are the cards we made.  The first card uses an awesome birthday stamp set and has matching Thinlits.  One of the Thinlits makes a pop up on the inside of the card.  It is just the cutest!

The third card uses some new Designer Series Paper that you can color.  Color?  Oh yes.  There is something in the catalog to color with!  Yay!  dsc03591

The last set of cards use a wonderful Valentine’s stamp set and matching Framelits.  One of the Framelits makes the cute little envelope you see in the middle card.  Plus, it makes the arrows, lined heart and so much more.  The stamp set has 27 stamps in it and the Framelits have 14!!
