For my Saturday Sample, I'm sharing a clean and simple card.  It features two of our new in colors, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizazz, a new core color, Early Espresso, as well as one of the new stamp sets, Wordplay.  And the new design elements don't stop there!  The designer series paper is the absolutely gorgeous Greenhouse Gala.  The little scallop rectangle is the new Scallop Rectangle Clearlit.  What is a Clearlit?  Well, it's like an embosslit with a clear window.  That means you can place your stamped image exactly where you want it. Pretty neat, huh?  And it's only $7.50.

Friends Never Fade

We had a great time at two events this past week: Hostess Appreciation on Tuesday and New Catalog Open House on Saturday.  This is the Make & Take we did at both events, and I'm loving this Daffodil Delight!  It is so fresh and pretty.  It is so aptly named as it reminds me of the fields and gardens full of daffodils in England in the spring (we spent 9 years in England and enjoyed every moment). 

This is a simple Stamps, Ink, and Paper card (with a little Dazzling Diamonds for just a touch of shine).  I love how our Designer Series Papers (in this case, Greenhouse Gala) are such a great way to create a color palette for a project.  Here, I took the Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizazz, and Daffodil Delight combination directly from the Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper. 

And Stampin' Up! has given us another winning combination of Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper and the coordinating stamp set, Friends Never Fade.  The possibilities are endless, with this great duo of products, for projects with coordination, flair, and sophistication.  Stampin' Up! makes it easy for us to look great!

Greenhouse Gala

For my Saturday sample, I have something brand new to show you.  I am loving this new Designer Series Paper, Greenhouse Gala.  It is just gorgeous and reminds me of the lovely William Morris wallpapers that were such a part of the Arts and Crafts movement.  Here, I have paired it with our fabulous new embossing folder, Vintage Wallpaper.  There are two more really new elements to this card.  Can you spot them?  My card base is the new In Color, Pear Pizazz.  And the stamped greeting is from a great new set called Perfect Punches.  What an appropriate name!

This is one of the cards we will be making in our clubs this month.  Would you like to learn more about my clubs?  Email me at candy@sweetstamper, and you can be my guest at one of my club meetings this month.  I can't wait to stamp with you!
