Radiant Sunflowers Bundle Sneak Peek

Hello friends!  Whew, still in the mid 90's and that's the forecast for the next week at least.  It's so hard to spend time outside when you can't catch your breath and you feel you're melting on the spot.  I want to know why you can't melt off fat while doing this!  The way I feel in the heat, I'm sure I should be at least 10 pounds lighter by now!  😆  Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way, right?  So, with a mind over matter plan, today's card is another fall themed card.  I suppose it could be used for different seasons if you changed the colors, but this card exudes a strong autumn vibe to me.

See what I mean about a fall feel?  The first thing I did with this card was to stamp this flower cluster from the Radiant Sunflowers bundle onto Very Vanilla cardstock.  This bundle is coming in September, and I can hardly wait for you to use it!  I used Pecan Pie ink for this to stay on the warm side.  After stamping, the coloring began.  

Stampin'Blends were used for this part:

Sunflower petals - Daffodil Delight Light & Dark

Sunflower centers - Pecan Pie Light & Dark

Flower - Daffodil Delight Dark, Timid Tiger Light

Leaves - Old Olive Light & Dark

At this point several extra leaves from the set were stamped with Pecan Pie ink and colored with Old Olive Light & Dark Blends.

All the pieces were die-cut with the matching dies in the set.  Now it was time to decide what to add to these flowers to make the card.  The card base is Pecan Pie cardstock that measures 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".  It's scored at 4 1/4" and folded in half.

A wide strip 5 1/2" x 3 1/4" was cut from Crumb Cake cardstock.  A sentiment from the set was used to stamp onto this strip in the far bottom right corner.  Then comes the embossing.   I'm lovin' the new Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder which was used on this to give lots of texture.

This strip was attached to the folded card front using Tombow MultiPurpose Glue to hold securely.

There are some great prints in the Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper coming in the catalog in September.  This brown-on-brown check highlighted the flowers nicely.  It measures 2 1/4" x 4".   But it needed something extra to set it apart from all the other brown tones on the card.  

I could have used a cardstock piece, but I remembered a golden yellow print from spring maybe two plus years ago now.  I had a few odd pieces of it left, so it's used here.  It measures 2 1/2" x 4 1/4".  The brown checked print was adhered to this with adhesive.  Then both pieces were added to the card front using adhesive.

The design still needed something else.  The grid from the Lily of the Valley die set was used to die-cut gold foil cardstock.  The two pieces were attached under the sunflower cluster using adhesive.  That bit of gold peeking out at the top and bottom was perfect.  The sunflowers were attached over the grids using Dimensionals.  Then the extra leaves were tucked in around the design to fill it out.

Several Gold Adhesive-backed Dots were sprinkled on the design.  Yep, they're in the new in the catalog coming out in September.

A smallish bow was made from the Crumb Cake color jute in the Neutrals Jute Combo that is also new in the catalog coming in September.  It's attached with a Mini Glue Dot.  The jute really continues the rustic feel of the finished card.

Hope this card idea gets you thinking fall.  Yes, I know there's still a couple weeks left in August for those last summer get-aways or picnics at the beach.  But this heat is so rough on me I'm really praying for cooler weather.  I do thank you for visiting my blog and hope you are inspired to give some of these products a try.  If you're looking for a demonstrator, I'd be happy to work with you.  If you are one of my customers and you haven't received your new September - December 2026 Catalog in the mail from me, please let me know so I can see what's going on.  Most of my customers really do become my friends, and I appreciate each one of you!

Happy stamping and creating,

Forever Florals with Arches

Hello stamping friends!  It's back to school time here already.  I keep thinking this summer was so short and hot we really didn't do anything.  But that doesn't make any difference.  School started this past week anyway, and football season is underway.  Normally I really wouldn't care much for football.  I hate to admit it's the one sport that really never made a whole lot of sense to me.  But since my youngest grandson is playing again this year, I'm trying to figure it out.  Wish me luck in this venture!!  That said, it is time for another post sharing what I've been stamping lately.  I've been playing with the Everyday Arches dies on different projects lately.  The shape is easy to work with and can be used in different ways on my projects.  Today's card starts with the arch shape and pairs it with the Forever Florals stamps and dies to create a soft card that makes me smile.  I think anyone would be happy to receive this card in their mailbox.

The base for the card is the lovely Hydrangea Hue which is one of my all-time favorites.  A layer of the denim-looking print in the Paper Medley Designer Series Paper was cut to match.   The measurements are 3 7/8" x 5 1/8".  There needed to be a little more definition between this layer and the card base.  

A layer of 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper was added.  This measures 4" x 5 1/4".  This creates a very skinny frame around the denim print that shines nicely when the light hits it just right.  It's surprising just how much this skinny layer adds to the overall design.  (If I would have been thinking ahead, I would have die-cut a smaller layer from the inside of this pearlized paper to use later on another project.)

The layers were all attached together with adhesive between them.  This keeps them flat and the rest of the card stands out more.

Next was die-cutting the Basic White arched layer.  The 5th largest Everyday Arches die was used for this.  After cutting, one of the sentiments in the Forever Florals set was stamped near the top with Hydrangea Hue ink.  I really like the four sentiments included in the set and have used them often.

The Forever Florals die set has two different sizes of just tiny flower dies.  Both sizes were used to die-cut Basic White cardstock.  Then they were used again with 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper to cut several pieces.  There is also a multi-leaf stem in the die set.  This was used to die-cut 3 stems in Peaceful Pine and 2 cut from Soft Sea Foam cardstocks.  All these pieces were arranged and adhered to the bottom of the arch.

The arch was placed onto the card base, but it looked too plain.  It just needed something to break up the large amount of background.  The Lily of the Valley set has a die that makes this pretty trellis look.  It's die-cut from Basic White Thick cardstock.  After cutting, it was attached as shown flat onto the card front.  The arch was added to this using Dimensionals to hold in place.

A few of the 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies in Hydrangea Hue were scattered on the design for a little extra interest.

That's it for today's card.  Seems like I ended up pulling in bits of different sets to create this card.  Sometimes you just need something a little extra to make a design work.  Hope you give this idea a try.  This Hydrangea Hue color makes up into such pretty cards.

It's still August and Stampin'Up! still has its selected cardstock and Designer Series Paper sale going on.  Visit the store to see what is on sale.  Getting ready for Christmas card making, I just ordered several 12" x 12" Two-Tone Cardstock colors that were on sale.  Can hardly wait to get started on some of the ideas I have rolling around in this brain of mine.

Happy stamping and creating,

Sharon

Time for Another Layout

Hello friends.  While meandering through all the interesting Pinterest card ideas, I kept seeing cards that had a similar layout.  This is something that I've used through the years and thought it was time to get it out and try it with current ideas.  I love having layouts that work well through the years and always look fresh and current because of the colors and papers used.  I think this is definitely one of them!  This layout also works well with either a landscape or portrait style card.  Let me show you what I mean.

We'll start with the portrait style card.  This card features the Valley in Bloom Designer Series Paper.  The print is cut to measure 4" x 3 1/2".  Then this piece is cut into 4 pieces with each piece measuring 1" x 3 1/2".  You want to keep these strips in the correct order for constructing your card later.

Next is a layer that measures 4 1/2" x 3 1/4".  This lets the under-layer show on each side when finished.   I used Basic White cardstock for this layer, but you can use whatever works best for your design. Position each of the DSP strips on the layer until it looks right.  Then each strip is attached to the base layer as shown.  Can you see how the DSP ends overlap the white layer on the sides, and the ends of the white layer show at the top and bottom?  That's the basic look you want from this layout.

For the card, Cloud Cover cardstock was chosen as the card base because it blended nicely with the DSP print, and it keeps the whole design sort of 'misty' looking.  It measures 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and is folded in half.  The white layer is attached to the card base with Dimensionals to enhance the design look.

A sentiment from the Simply Leaves stamp set was used.  I just love this sentiment not only because of what it says, but the two fonts used on each of the sentiments in this set make them really stand out.  It's stamped on a long 1/2" strip of Basic White cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink.  After stamping, the ends were trimmed closer to the words and given a fishtail cut with paper snips to finish it.

The design just needed something more to make it special.  Then I remembered the geometric die that's part of the Lily of the Valley die set.  I die-cut it from Basic White Thick cardstock so it would be a little sturdier.  It's added to the card front with touches of adhesive.  Then the sentiment is attached over this with Dimesionals.

Of course, the design needed just a bit of subtle bling.  The 2026 - 2028 In Color Dots in the Peaceful Pine color were used here.  They're very subtle, but the bit of iridescent shine on them gives the card a soft glisten.  Just what I wanted for this card.

The inside of the card has a white cardstock layer.  There is a 1/2" strip of a different Valley in Bloom print was added to the bottom of this layer before attaching inside.

Now you've seen how this layout works in portrait style cards, let's see how the same layout works for a landscape style card.

This time, my DSP layer comes from the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper.  The design pictured is bigger than the 4" x 3 1/2" that is needed for this layout.  It needed a little creative cutting - some off the top, the bottom, and the left side to get the correct dimensions. Then the piece was cut into 1" strips for the design.

Again, I used Basic White for the backing layer which measures 4 1/2" x 3 1/4".  The strips were arranged on this and attached with adhesive.  This was attached to the Pool Party card base with Dimensionals.

The sentiment used here is from Fragrant Layer stamp set.  It's stamped with Misty Moonlight ink onto a 5/8" wide strip of Basic White cardstock.  It's trimmed close then fishtailed with Paper Snips.   It's added to the bottom of the design with Dimensionals.

The inside of the card is a layer of Basic White cardstock.  It has a 1/4" strip of the same DSP (but the striped back side) added to either side of the white layer.  They're attached with adhesive.  These strips came from the area on the left side of the front design that was too wide.  Never throw away those scraps.  You never know when they'll be the perfect accent to the card!

I made another card with this same layout.  At least it was the same until I cut the white layer wrong.  After thinking about it, I decided to share my boo-boos too.  This is how learning happens.  If everything came out perfect the first time, I guess it means I'm not stretching myself enough and trying different things.  Besides it's only paper and I can try again!

So the mistake was only cutting it 4 1/4" long so the DSP comes right to the edges instead of the white showing at the edges.  I thought I'd still put it together as I'd planned and see how I liked it.  

For this one, I used Hydrangea Hue cardstock and the beautiful Delicate Dreams DSP which is currently unavailable.  This paper is just beautiful.  I guess lots of people agree on that.  It will be coming back in stock, so watch for it.

This sentiment comes from the Lily of the Valley set.  I don't remember the name of punch I used - sorry.    The ink color is Hydrangea Hue.  The label has just a hint of the blue around it.  I used a marker tip to run around the edges.  The label also has a spattering of the same marker for added color.  

Did you notice the small strip of ribbon that's tucked under the label?  For the bling this time, I added some of the retired Brass Butterflies to flit in the design.  Thought they were a good size and the new ones got lost in all the busyness of the print.  

I still think the first version of this layout is great.  Not so crazy about the mistake version.  I should have just set the wrong-sized cardstock aside and recut to the correct measurements.  But I had to try.  You never know whether an idea will work if you don't try it.  This mistake is ok, but not as eye-catching as the first version as far as I'm concerned.  It's something I don't want to do the wrong way again.

I'm so glad you stopped by today.  Let me know what you think about this layout.  I think I should use it more often.  What do you think?

Happy stamping and creating,

Sweet Lily of the Valley Card

Hello friends!  Have we all recovered from the 250th Anniversary celebrations?  I guess it's time to get back to work here.  I had some cards lined up to share with you, and then things got a little busy with holiday celebrations and I never did sit down to write the posts.  That means I need to play catch up and start sharing these ideas that are piling up here.  Today's card features the Lily of the Valley stamps and dies and a lovely pastel plaid from the Valley in Bloom DSP.  I wish I could buy a whole pack of DSP in just this Peacock/Lost Lagoon plaid.  I just love it!  In fact, there's so much about this card that I'm happy to be sharing all this goodness with you.

Here it is - a study in darker pastels.  The whole card started with a piece of the plaid Valley in Bloom DSP that was left from a different project.  It measures 5 1/2" x 2 3/4".  It is the perfect shape to make a panel down the center of the card.  I decided the card base would be Lost Lagoon which measures 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".

It needed something to layer in between.  I remembered the new Luxe White Specialty DSP.  I hadn't really inspected it when it came, but I thought there might be something in there that would work.  Oh my, I didn't know what I was missing by ignoring this paper.  It's simply gorgeous!  The sheets all have a pearl-white print on white background.  Beautiful.  I chose the lily of the valley print and added a layer behind the plaid.  I like the difference between the elegance of the white-on-white print and the relaxed comfort of the plaid.

Next was choosing the focal images.  There are both single and double leaves in the die set.  I used the double leaf with the matching stamp to make leaves of Lost Lagoon cardstock.  The single leaf die has detail lines that give lots of interest.  I used this one to die-cut one Peaceful Pine leaf.

There's a single stem die of Lily of the Valley that I used to cut 2 stems from Basic White Thick cardstock.  The Peaceful Pine Light Stampin' Blends was used to color both of the stems, but not the flowers.

The stems and leaves were arranged on the plaid print leaving a little room at the bottom for a sentiment.  They all are attached only near the bottom of the pieces so there is some movement on the card.

Not sure if you can see how the pieces stand away from the card somewhat.

Also, this is a good picture to get an idea of how pretty the Luxe White Specialty DSP really is.  It's subtle until the light hits it and then it really shines.

The sentiment is from the Lily of the Valley set.  It's stamped with Lost Lagoon ink onto a left-over piece of the Valley in Bloom DSP that's about 1" wide.  The soft background on the DSP doesn't detract from the little flowers.  (I tried white for the sentiment first, but it pulled your eye away from the flowers)

Not sure where the sentiment is from.  I always hang on to all my sentiments and go through bunches of stamps every time I'm finishing a card.  If I don't write it down, you know what happens.  It's one of those many things that are just floating around in my brain that I'll probably never find again!  So just go through your stash and find a sentiment that fits your needs.

The flower at the bottom is also from the Lily of the Valley set.  Both of the sentiments and the flower are stamped with Lost Lagoon ink.  I also added this same flower on the bottom corner of the envelope it's being sent out in.  Love coordinating it all!

Just one little last look at this pretty card.  As I look at it now, I realize there were no embellishments added to the design.  It doesn't look like it's missing anything, so this is how it's staying.  Seems like there have been several cards lately with no extra bling.  Am I going to lose my status as one of the bling brigade?  I'll have to make sure I sprinkle some extra bling on the next card I make.  😄

Have you had a chance to look through all the new goodies that are available in the new Online Exclusives area of the SU! store?  I'm sure you'll fall in love with a few of those items just like I have.

Thanks for stopping by for another dose of creative juice.  I have so much fun sharing these ideas with you.  My fervent hope is that you find a little inspiration in my posts and they help keep you inspired to create something special yourself.  And don't forget to send those ideas on to brighten someone else's day.  We're here to encourage one another and do good. Have a blessed day.

Happy stamping and creating,

Lily of the Valley Quick Cards

Hello, my dear friends!   I'm still struggling with my health each day.  Several of you got in touch with me and let me know you're praying for my crazy heart to settle down and behave itself.  It surprises me how worn out this makes me when it's not beating in rhythm.  But life goes on, doesn't it?  Just very much slower! 

Lately I've spent some time weeding through card layouts that I've saved over the last many, many years.  It's been fun trying out a few to decide if I like them enough to save the idea.   Several days ago, I made two cards with a similar layout that is another easy idea to have on hand.  Thought today I'd share this with you.  I'm having so much fun playing around with one layout and making small adjustments for a different look.  It's amazing what a change in cardstock color will do to a card.  Let me show you what I mean.

This card follows the original layout that I'd saved.  Plus, it uses one of the new DSP designs - Valley in Bloom. (Yes, this will be one of the last sneak peaks as May 5th is almost here.  Woo hoo!) Isn't it beautiful?  I love lily of the valley flowering plants, and the DSP is absolutely gorgeous in my opinion.  With this card layout, I only stamped the sentiment.  Everything else about the card focuses on the DSP.

The measurements for this layout are as follows:

card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"  folded in half

DSP layer - 2 3/4" x 5 1/2"

cardstock layer - 3 5/8" x 3 5/8"

DSP layer - 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

sentiment - your choice size and shape

The card base for this one is Garden Green to pick up the darker greens in the DSP.  The strip of DSP going across the card is actually the backside of the focal piece.  I really liked these together.  The watercolor style print against the mini geometric print was an interesting contrast.

For my framing layer, Basic White really made the little bell flowers stand out nicely.  The focal DSP print was attached to the white cardstock with adhesive.  Then these were attached to the card base with Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Lily of the Valley stamp set.  It's stamped with Garden Green ink onto a 3/4" strip of Basic White cardstock.  The right end was finished by flagging it.  This is attached flat to the card on the left side with a Dimensional under the right end to level it out.

The pretty sparkly new bling was added for an accent.  These are from the new Shimmering Dots pack.  Pretty, aren't they?

I haven't finished the inside yet as I'm not sure what sentiment I want to use.  It always depends on the person the card is being sent to, right?

The next card is very similar with a good number of changes though.

The first big change you notice right away is the cardstock base is different.  This time I went with Granny Apple Green which was one of the colors listed as coordinating with this DSP.  Just that change alone brightened the look of the card immensely.

The strip of DSP across the card base was slimmed down just 1/8".  It was attached to the card base with adhesive.

The focal piece of DSP is from the same piece of DSP as the first card.  The DSP page I used is one of the two border prints in the pack.  This time it's trimmed a little smaller - 3" x 3 1/2".  This meant that the layering piece was also smaller at 3 1/8" x 3 5/8".  This card has Garden Green cardstock for this layer to give it a bit of dark to balance the bright.  By making these changes, a good deal more of the background cardstock is visible which makes the entire card have a lighter feel.

This time the sentiment comes from the Friendly Foliage stamp set.  I love the font used here and this is one of my basic sentiments used for cards.  It's just versatile and seems to cover so many applications.  It's stamped on a Basic White strip that is 1/2" tall with Garden Green ink.  After stamping, the ends were flagged to finish the look.

The same pretty bling was used on this card as the last.  I just love the colors in the Shimmering Dots pack.  They are this Granny Apple Green that I used, Coastal Cabana, and White.  All lovely colors that I'll be using a lot!

Looking at this card with the slightly smaller dimensions, I was thinking it would work well for a portrait style card also.  That will be something I need to try soon!

Here's one more look at the two cards.  This time they're together so you can easily the differences.  Let me know if you try out this layout and add it to your rotation of layouts.  I find there are some layouts I gravitate towards more often.  My old standbys.  But then again, it's fun to pull out another idea you haven't played with in a while for a change of pace.

I can't wait until May 5th when you too can order these fun new stamps and dies and get your hands on these gorgeous new designer papers.  You're gonna love them!!

Thanks for stopping by today.  I really appreciate that you spend some of your precious time with me.  Give these template ideas a try.  It's always a good idea to have some basic layout templates to work with when you get some creative stagnation going on.  They really are a great starting point to get you stamping again!

Happy stamping and creating,

One New In Color at a Time

Hello friends!  I'm so excited about the five new In Colors that are coming soon.  I couldn't have come up with anything better if they'd asked me personally to choose new colors.  Which they certainly did not!  As far as I'm concerned, they all are just yummy and will be so much fun to use.  Today's cards were made focusing on the new Hydrangea Hue color.  It's a pretty blue that leans a little towards periwinkle blue.  Plus, I used a new Online Exclusive bundle and a new May-August 2026 Catalog bundle that you might not have seen yet.  Oh my, so many goodies to choose from and it was so hard to decide what I wanted to use first.  So, you're getting a mish-mash of new, some old, embossed backgrounds, and much more with this post.  Let's get started, shall we?

Isn't this Hydrangea Hue color just gorgeous?  It's used here in ink, cardstock, ribbon, and even the tiny butterflies.  I'm almost on Hydrangea Hue overload here!  But I love it.  Let me give you a quick rundown on making this card.

Start with a Basic White cardstock base that is cut at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" and folded in half.  Next is a layer of Hydrangea Hue that measures 5 1/4" x 4".  Then a layer of Basic White is cut at 5" x 3 3/4".  This is embossed with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder.  This gives such a pretty and tactile design that is very versatile.  There's only one problem I have with this embossing folder.  I have a hard time deciding which side of the embossed cardstock that I want to use!  Such a tough problem!

Did you notice the interesting die-cut labels?  They are from the Forever Florals Bundle that is a new Online Exclusive item, and it's going to be one of my favorites for all the cards I send out.  Love the sentiments (which I did not use on this card).  Anyway, the larger label was cut from the center of the Hydrangea Hue layer before the layers were added to the card base.  After die-cutting the label, the layers were attached to the card base using 'green glue'.

The smaller label was cut from Basic White.  For this card, a sentiment from the Notes of Spring set that was a Product of the Month in March was used.  As of today, it's still available.  If you haven't gotten this yet, just place a $75 order before tax and shipping and you can get this for $5 in the US.  The sentiments alone make it worth getting and the animals in the set are just adorable.

Moving on, the flower stem stamped on the label is from a new set called Forever Florals.  The leaves are stamped with the new Peaceful Pine In Color ink pad.  Gorgeous color!  The flowers were stamped on a Basic White piece with Hydrangea Hue ink then die-cut.  

The flowers were attached to the stem with touches of "green glue".  Then the labels were attached to the card front with several Dimensionals.

The design needed a few more touches.  The Hydrangea Hue ribbon was tied into a bow and added at the bottom corner of the labels.  It's attached with two Mini Glue Dots to hold it securely.  There are three of the new 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies.  These are such an adorable added touch to the design.  They come in all five In Colors plus white and two different sizes.  You can bet these will be showing up on many of my cards in the future!

While making this first card, I was cutting two of everything so I could make another card.  But I started making changes as soon as I had this one done.  Keep on reading for the next version using even more new goodies.

Here we go.  Similar with lots of changes.

First change was the embossing folder.  This time it's the Eyelet 3D embossing folder.  Love this design on the card.

Next change was turning the Forever Florals labels on its  side to be wider instead of taller.

Then check out the beautiful Lily of the Valley sentiment and image from the new bundle coming in the next catalog starting in May.  There are six sentiments in the set which will fit many needs.  And then the lovely lily of the valley images in the set.  Oh my, one of my favorite flowers ever!

The sentiment was stamped with Hydrangea Hue ink onto the label.  The flower was stamped with the new Basic Black Hybrid stamp pad onto a Basic White scrap piece.  This left a nice clear image.  I used the new Stampin' Blends in Hydrangea Hue to add a shadow on the little bells and Peaceful Pine both Light and Dark on the leaves.  Love these colors together.

Before putting the pieces together, the white label was spattered with Wink of Stella for a slight shine.  Then more Wink of Stella was brushed on each of the bells and set aside to dry thoroughly.

Thought it would be interesting to add both a strip of ribbon and a smaller strip of cardstock to the side of the card as an accent.  The ribbon is just under 4 1/2" in length and the Peaceful Pine is 3 3/4" long.  They are each attached with adhesive.

Then the labels were attached over them using Dimensionals.

The lily of the valley was die-cut with the matching die.  Then it's attached to the right edge with Mini Dimensionals.  I wish the shimmer on the card would show up better in the pics.  Guess you'll have to take my word for it that it's lovely.

The final touch to the design was adding three of the 2026-2028 In Color Dots.  I was so pleased when I saw these in person.  I can never tell how thick these embellishments are in the pictures.  These have a nice low profile, so it won't require extra postage for mailing.  That is a big plus in my book with all the cards I mail for the shut-ins at church.

Here's one last look at these cards that focused on the new favorite 2026-2028 In Color - Hydrangea Hue.  I hope you love it as much as I do.  And both of the bundles I used here - Forever Florals and Lily of the Valley - are fabulous and easy to use.  So happy with my new items for creating!  (Doing a little happy dance here!)  Next, I need to move on to another one of the new In Colors.  Did I mention that I just love them all?  I really do!

If you're one of my customers, you should be receiving a copy of the new May-August 2026 Catalog in the mail soon.  If you don't have it by the end of the month, please get in touch so I can send one out to you.  It will be interesting to see how the new catalog timeline works out.  There will be three new catalogs each year.  No big annual catalog and no mini catalogs.  Just these three mid-size catalogs - one every four months.  And don't forget the Online Exclusives.  Did you know that new items are added every couple of months?  There will be more new items coming in May.  Make sure you check it often to see if there's anything new.

Thanks for stopping in today.  Hope you're as excited by these new In Colors and stamp sets.  There will be more ideas coming soon.

Happy stamping and creating,

Sharon
