As promised, the card I made for you today highlights 2 of our new colors. First, the “Crisp Cantaloupe” from the new In-Colors and the “Smoky Slate”. I really like this color, and it’s going to go with a lot of colors.
I’m going to do something a little different … I’m going to show you some great new products out of the catalog first and then lead you into the card!
Let me introduce you to one of the pretty flowers (there are 6) in the “Flower Shop” stamp set found on page 94 of the catalog. I stamped this in the Smoky Slate … then punched it with the coordinating punch “Pansy” (130698). I love it when our stamp sets have coordinating punches, makes life so much easier!
Next … “WASHI TAPE”! Man is this stuff fun to play with! this is the Epic Day This & That Designer Washi Tape (131269) I used the “gray” to coordinate with my card, but there are 2 other rolls that come with it. Then I topped the flower and washi tape off with our Basic Pearls (119247).
Here’s just a little shot of the inside of my card … stamp it a couple times and add a strip of washi tape. I have begun stamping inside of my card, just because everyone opens them up to see what’s inside (even if you’re only showing a sample!) I love it!
OK … now the card!
With our yummy “Crisp Cantaloupe” and the “Smoky Slate”.
Don’t you think they look good together!
A Million and one Thanks for taking this stampin’ journey with me! You will find the “Million & One” stamp set on page 161. I fell in love with this set as soon as I saw it.
Maybe I’ll make the next card with the other stamp in that set … “Fabulous is what you are” and I believe it!

I am stoked about sharing my card with you today! WHY… you say?
Because it is one of my favorite new Hostess stamp sets …
“Simply Sketched”
This stamp set is a beautifully designed “sketch” style that just calls your name. Oh, and the greetings are so pretty! The card below is the “Make & Take” that I designed from my 2013 Spring Demonstrator Retreat! We used aqua painters to do the “Watercolor” technique on the flower.
The base is “Crumb Cake” cardstock. The pretty green “Pear Pizzazz” paper comes from the “Gingham Garden” Designer Series Paper pack. The “pop” of color is the NEW “Strawberry Slush” from the 2013-15 In-Colors.
I used the 2-1/2 inch circle punch (120906) on the flower and the “Window Frames Collection” Framelits (129021) for the mat. The pretty button came from the new “Very Vintage Designer Buttons” (129327).
OK… I can’t help it. I must share my swap card with you too! The Island Indigo color makes the card “pop” and was chosen to coordinate with the “Soho Subway” Designer Series Paper. And don’t you just love that little bird!?
Let me just say … “the picture in the catalog does not do this paper justice”. I simply fell in love with the Soho Subway Designer Series Paper (130140), it’s great for scrapbooking… and any type of card!
And FYI … the “Sympathy” is included in the Simply Sketched stamp set. Just click on the “Shop Now” button to purchase any of the items you saw here today.

When I got my hands on the New 2013-14 Idea Book & Catalog, I knew right away what I had to have! For those of you who come to my annual Kick-Off party, you know I have a “My Favorite Stamp Set Contest” … and I still will, but I couldn’t wait to share this product with you!
The BIGSHOT … just like the Lone Ranger, now has a side kick you can’t be without! Meet Tonto!
The newStampin’ Up! Magnetic Platform for Framelits & Edgelits (130658)
No more post-it notes since the magnet easily holds them in place! I can’t wait to get my hands on it, because you all know… I love my framelits!
Watch the video from Stampin’ Up! to see how easy it really works!
Now, you’ll need a cute idea to use with the new magnetic platform, here is a beautiful card that I received from one of my Star’s members Brenda Morateck! I just love the neutral color pallet on this card, it works well with the “COLLAGE” Technique she used.
The “Secret Garden” stamp set (page 94) and coordinating framelits (page 187) were used to create this card. Some of you will recognize the greeting as coming from the awesome stamp set “Lacy & Lovely” on page 117.
Hope you enjoyed today’s post, and my “Lone Ranger” reference …
You know I’ll be going to see Johnny Depp as Tonto!
