Everyday Occasions Cardmaking Kit

Guess what I did last night?  I watched "The Voice" with my daughter (while my hubby was out in the field) and made 20 cards!  Yep, I made 20 fabulous homemade cards!  It was so easy with the new Everyday Occasions Cardmaking Kit from Stampin' Up.  Everything you need comes in one box.  You get a seven-piece Occasions Stamp set and clear block, cardstock and envelopes for 20 cards, twine, buttons and clips, full-color brochure w/tips and tricks, die cut paper embellishments, stampin' dimensionsals, Stampin' spots (mini ink pads) and a cool, storable gift box!  I just grabbed the box and went with it...I couldn't believe I could make 20 cards in one evening and I figured they cost me less than $1.50 per card!  And I still have pieces left over, plus a wonderful stamp set to use over and over again!  And ink too!  Did I mention how much I LOVE this new product from SU?  What's great about it is that is is good for beginners but also a nice way to sit down and stress-relieve for an evening and not have to think.  It's all there ready for you!  The cardstock and embellishments are all pre-cut and heavy good cardstock to use.  The brochure is nice to keep for future layout ideas for cards too!  It is item number 134797 and sells for $29.95.  Don't miss out on this one!!!!

Magnificent Fall!

I love the colors of fall.  I recently made a few cards and I simply love how the new stamp sets I have purchased recently worked.  I used Magnificent Maple, Tape It (one of my favorites), Gorgeous Grunge and Four You.  I used Tangerine Tango, Soft Suede, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze.  Pretty simple card.  Enjoy!

Flower Shop Birthday Card

I made this fabulous card for my sister's birthday.  I used the wonderful in colors and the new stamp set Flower Shop with the coordinating punch.  This set and punch are sold as a bundle or can be purchased individually in the new catalog.  And if you noticed the background is something new...a sneak peak from the new upcoming Holiday catalog.  It's called Pretty Print Textured Impressions embossing folder and it's gorgeous.  The picture really does not do it justice.  Enjoy!

More new cards made with new goodies!

Here are four more recent cards I made with new stuff from the new catalog!  I have been having a blast!  I will edit this post later with details on the cards.  Enjoy!

Chalk Talk Birthday Card

Here is a stunning new card made with the new stamp set Chalk Talk and coordinating framelit set.  Mosiac Madness embossing folder was used on the Strawberry Slush cardstock for the backround.  I just love Strawberry Slush and Black together.  Makes for a very stunning card!  Enjoy!

Secret Garden Happy Birthday

Here is a card I made for my mom's birthday.  I used Secret Garden and the new in colors.  LOVE these new colors!  They are so pretty and blend together well.  I cased this card idea from another demo.  I also used the Delicate Designs embossing folder with the coordinating edgelit framelit.  Banner Greetings was used for the sentiment.  Enjoy!

Regarding Dahlias Anniversary

The Dahlia image in the Regarding Dahlias stamp set is quite stunning and makes for a fabulous card in an instant.  I embossed the flower image w/gold powder and used the brushed gold paper for the card base (although it does show up very well in the picture).  Enjoy!
