Happy You Hostess Stamp Set

My card today was made with a brand new hostess set ... it's the Happy You hostess stamp set on page 204 of the New Stampin Up Catalog.  

I used Baja Breeze and Certainly Celery Markers (notice how once Pear Pizzazz retired I went back to Celery ... I hope they bring back Pear Pizzazz!!).

I stamped the image with Black Stazon ink ... onto Whisper White card stock and then cut it out with the 1-3/8 Circle Punch.  I popped it up on the Scallop Circle I cut out with the 1-3/4 Scallop Circle Punch.

The strip on the side measured 1 x 5 and then I scalloped one side with the Scallop Edge Border Punch.

This card was made with our Note cards on page 182 of the current catalog and on page 160 of the new catalog.

I'm thinking about making this my June thank you card .. what do you think?

Starting on June 1st you can earn the Happy You stamp set (plus more) FREE with an order of $150 or more. Let me know if you need help placing an online order and ... please remember that in order for you to receive hostess benefits with your orders ($150 or more) you will need to go to my Stampin Up website through my blog ... if you go through stampin up dot com ... you will not get hostess benefits.

Coming next week ...

1. New Catalog Product Shares .....they will include Ribbon, Designer Series Paper and DSP Samplettes.
2.  Ink Pad Club - The new ink pads are AMAZING!!  And ... although you don't need them ..our colors are staying the same ... you will WANT them.  Your stamps are going to be so much easier to ink up!!  We'll start in June and I'll need six members .... you'll also receive hostess benefits ($25 in FREE Product).

Thanks & have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Pennant Parade is the May Stamp Set of the Month

The Pennant Parade stamp set is the Stamp set of the Month for my Stamp Kit of the Month Club and this is the third card.

I used Crumb Cake for the base of the card and I embossed it with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

The Happy Birthday Wishes is from the Petite Pairs stamp set and I stamped it with Crumb Cake ink and then cut it out with the 1-1/4 Circle Punch.  I attached it to a Pink Pirouette 1-1/38 Circle.

The cone was made with the Pennant Parade stamp and the ice cream is made with the Cupcake punch.

Click here if you'd like to see a video on how I made these cards.

Thanks for all the emails and comments regarding Brooke over the weekend!!  She has officially graduated and we're counting the days until she moves into her dorm at the  Kansas City Art Institute on August 17th.  (I'm dreading her leaving and she's so excited!!)
