Sneak Peek #3: A New Hostess Set!

Good morning! Such a beautiful day here in Minnesota. I am so grateful for this nice weather!
Today I am sharing a card I made using a NEW Hostess set from the upcoming Stampin' UP! catalog called: Nuts About You.  I used the sketch at Sunday Stamps challenge blog as my card layout.  Here's the sketch:
And here's my card creation:
My actual design layout turned out a little different, but I will let them decide if my card qualifies for the sketch chllange or not. : )
There are so many cute little images in this set, I can't wait to play with all of them.  I studied this set for a long time before I actually bought it.  I wanted to make sure I could cut the leaves off of the tree as I prefer to use ink instead of markers.  And yes, indeed I could and did cut them apart! Yippee! 
Here I stamped the leaves repeatedly in Coastal Cabana, Real Red and Baked Brown Sugar to match the DSP: Fresh Prints.

And as you can see on the inside, I stamped one leaf image and made it into flowers in the grass. : )  So fun!
I wanted to make a birthday card for a friend, so I did use a different sentiment from the Gifts of Kindness stamp set.

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...
