The JustBelieve stamp set is one of my all time favorites since it makes me think of the little violets popping up in the yard and fields right now. I love seeing that little hint of color among all the green.
Here is a great card I received from Donna in a swap and it uses one of my favorite retiring colors, Baja Breeze.

Wow, its Friday already – the week has really flown by. Today I’m going to share with you a new video showing you my Oh, Hello Pop ‘n CutsTreat Box that I recently did with the Blue Mountain Stampers during our monthly TEAM meeting.
I love the way this little Pop ‘n Cuts Treat Box turned out. It is a quick and easy project since you start with our Card BasePop ‘n Cuts Die (item 130099). And the little box is really good sized so you can get a lot of great chocolate or other goodies into it. Hmm…I’m thinking it may be a great Treat Box for my daughter’s upcoming graduation party. I’ll have to get back to you on that one.
So without further ado…. here is my latest video – Pop ‘n Cuts Treat Box

Wow, sorry I didn’t get to post yesterday but I spent the day with my daughter touring KSU so she could make a final decision about which college she wants to attend. The traffic was awful to get there, but the campus seemed lovely. Not sure that this has helped her since now she has to make a decision again. I’m trying real hard to stay neutral as she decides what is best for her future.
So what does this have to do with stamping? Well all of this had made me think of my old friends from school and when I see a tea pot I think of my old high school friend, Margie, and all the good times we had together over tea. So the image in the From My Heart Stamp Set makes me think of my friend and smile. I love both the images and sayings in this set. How about you? I think they’re all great and work wonderfully with our Framelits.
Here is a great card that I received in a swap using the From My Heart set. I really like the way that Susan used the Comfort Café’ Designer Series Paper with this image. And can you see the shimmer around the image? It’s been sponged with our Frost White Shimmer Paint (item 116854) and then again around the edges with Midnight Muse.
Supplies:
Stamp Set: From My Heart (item 126555/126557)
Inks: Midnight Muse
Paper: Comfort Café’ (retiring item126898), Midnight Muse (item 126843), Cherry Cobbler (item 119681), and Whisper White (item 100730)
Accessories: Cherry Cobbler ½” Seam Binding (item 120992), Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies (item 129021), Pearl Basic Jewels (item 119247)

With the new Color Refresh right around the corner I wanted to share with you this great card I received in a swap that uses our retiring colors More Mustard and Bravo Burgundy card stock.
I love the way that Teresa used our Delicate Doilies Stamp Set (item 125590/122592) to create the pattern on the butterflies. Isn’t that a great use of the Delicate Doilies stamp set?

Need a great male card? The Open Sea stamp set is wonderful for making masculine cards and here is a great card that my friend Bonnie gave me recently during one of our demonstrator gatherings. I really like the way she used our Stampin’ Distressing Tool (item 127562) from the Spring Catalog to distress the edges of the card stock.
Did you notice that this card was created using our Not Quite Navy Ink and Cardstock that are being retired? Although I’m excited about the upcoming Color Refresh, I’m going to really miss Not Quite Navy. It’s always been one of my go to colors for masculine cards. I’m sure I’ll find myself reaching for our In Color Midnight Muse more and more when Not Quite Navy is no longer available soon.

Pretty in Pink has been one of my favorites since I started stamping. How about you is it one of yours? I was rather sad to see it on the retirement list (click HERE to see more about the Color Refresh), but am excited about the new colors too!
So today I thought I would share a card that I made using the Pretty In PinkDesigner Series Paper from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack (item 117152). With four of our Subtles Collection colors saying goodbye it’s a great way to get them all and in 4 different patterns!
I love the stamp set I used to create the focal point on this card, Papillon Potpourri (item 123757/123759). After all who doesn’t like butterflies?
Stampin’ Up! just announced that they will be packaging their wood-mount stamp sets in NEW Wood Mount Cases! Yippee!! I was so excited about this news because these NEW Wood Mount Cases are similar to our clear mount cases so they will fit perfectly together on your shelf. Needless to say this makes the organizer in me squeal with delight – uniform and “modular” in design. They will also have the images and stamp set names on the spine to make searching for the set you want even easier.
I know you’re asking when these will be available- Well the NEW Wood Mount Cases will become available as of May 31st when the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog goes live. AND extra Wood Mount Cases will also be available just like our Clear Mount Cases currently available now!
Wait it gets even sweeter – because there will be a template for you to create your own labels if you want to transfer your older sets into this sleek new organization system of cases.

I fell in love with our Stampin’ Spritzers when they came out last summer. Have you had a chance to use them yet? If not you’ll want to check out this great project today using the By the Tide stamp set (item 129117/129120) from the Spring Catalog that uses our Stampin’ Spritzers.
Stampin’ Spritzer (item 126185) are inexpensive and soo much fun to use! And Stampin’ Spritzers just seemed like a perfect way to create a wonderful background for these water images. Watch my video to see how I created this card.
Although this project uses two of the colors that are currently on our Color Refresh Retirement List (River Rock and Not Quite Navy) there is still time to get yours. (Remember that when colors retired they tend to go quickly so don’t wait too long to place your order.)
