I just love HAPPY CARDS...

doesn't this card just make you smile and feel HAPPY?

I think there are 8 layers on this card if you count the little DAHLIA in the center of the scallops and doilies.

I die cut 2 layers with the Delicate Doiles, then stamped the big flower image from Betsy's Blossoms in Primrose Petals and punched it with 2 punches for all these fun layers. See below for all supplies.

add a pretty edge accent with the Finishing Touches Edgelit!

and don't forget the pretty butterfly accent!

2012 new Catalog Product Shares

On Tuesday I shared a cute idea with you for using the NATURAL COMPOSITION SPECIALTY DSP (PG 162) from Stampin' Up! and the adorable LITTLE LABELS PUNCH PACK.  Today I have another tip to share with you for using this GORGEOUS paper!

WATERCOLOR ON IT!!

The gorgeous new Natural Composition Specialty DSP has glossy raised patterns on it.. almost like it was embossed in versamark and clear embossing powder!!  So I decided to try watercoloring because the glossy raised portions will resist the ink.. anyway.. it turned out really neat!!!

I used my Aquapainter (pg 178) and the ink in the lids of my classic ink pads to do the watercoloring.

After I cut it into pieces, i added it to a couple cards featuring the new POSTAGE DUE stamp set (pg 108) (one of my very favorite items in the new catalog!)

I stamped the Postage Due image onto WATERCOLOR PAPER with Soft Suede (above) and Raspberry Ripple (below)... just for a neat texture.

 For close up images of the Little Punch Pack embellishments on these cards, SEE THIS POST.

 STAMPIN' UP! SUPPLIES ON THESE CARDS:

• Aquapainter #103954, pg 178
• Natural Composition Specialty paper, #126917, pg 162

Summer Smooches from Stampin' Up!

Just ONE of the fabulously cool things about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is that we get to PRE ORDER new products .. such as this super cute Summer Smooches suite of products!! 

Yesterday, demonstrators were able to preorder adorable fabric, designer paper, a stamp set, and so much more!  The colors are bright and fun and the theme is flowery and adorable!!

Would you like to join my Luv 2 Stamp Group and the Stampin' Up! family as a demonstrator (for only $125)?  I'd love to chat with you about the benefits of joining us.  You can also read more info here. 

 

I wanted to send out CONGRATS cards to the top 10 demonstrators in my group for their sales achievements so I used the MY DIGITAL STUDIO Summer Smooches download we could preorder yesterday and then I embellished the inside of the card with the coordinating new stamp set (we were given that stamp set in San Antonio at the Managers Reception in January).

You might remember the absolutely cutie patootie bag we got at Leadership showcasing this Summer Smooches fabric... soooooo stinkin' cute!

(for more projects made with this fun fabric, see this previous post.. scroll down below the card samples)

CUSTOMERS... never fear.. you will be able to preorder this adorable suite of products in April!!  Then you will see it again in the New Catalog on June 1!!

YES>>> I did say June 1 !!!! :)

Thanks for checking in with me today .. have a great weekend!

Check back Monday for a fun video!
