The Artfully Aware stamp set was inspired by one of our Demonstrators, Janet Wakeland and she shared her story of how she and the Stampin’ Up! artists created this set during our November OnStage in Orlando. I was deeply touched by her story of her mom’s struggle with Alzheimers. I think most of us have someone we love who is or has struggled with this awful disease and now you too can make a difference in someone’s life with your thoughts of encouragement and support when you choose this set.
Here are some beautiful cards made with this set.
This set also coordinates with our Support Ribbon Framelits Dies, so you’ll have endless options to create.
I love getting together with my team at our monthly meeting and sharing. We have a lot of fun together learning new things and sharing. Today’s projects were all part of our team swaps.
This first card uses the Serene Garden bundle (148395) and the emboss resist technique.
Simply use our Versa Mark Ink Pad and White Embossing Powder stamp the image and then use a Sponge Dauber and Gorgeous Grape Ink (147099) to create this lovely soft background.
And how about this fun square card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set (142924) and Thinlits Dies (142749).
It’s fun fold pops open making it extra special.
And this fun project is a 3d that holds a bright and cheerful nail file. The holder was created with our Envelope Punch Board (133774).
And the A Good Day stamp set (145870/145873) was used for this fun 3d not only were stamps used for the sentiment, but also to create a background to match the nail file using the Granny Apple 147095/147163) and Melon Mambo Classic Inks (147051/115662).
And this final card was made using the Lasting Lily (Sale-a-bration 149717) stamp set and our Wood Textures (144177) and Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper (148554).

Today’s card is bright and cheerful – perfect as we just had some beautiful weather here in North Georgia and the early daffodils are starting to peak their heads out of the ground. However, today we’re back a normal winter day.
Today’s card is my February Thank You card that I created to send out to all of my stamping friends who place an order with me.
The two step stamp set, Vibrant Vases is easy to use and because of the bold images you won’t have a problem lining things up when stamping. It’s also perfect for the Stamparatus if you prefer to go that way.
And did you know that this stamp set coordinates with the Vase Builder Punch (147040) found in the Annual Catalog? That makes it a great way to make this punch even more versatile.
I’ve put together a quick video tutorial for you along with a PDF.

This first card is bright and cheerful – and it is done in one of our favorite new colors Granny Apple Green. Check out the background, it’s the new Dot to Dot Embossing Folder (148533).
And this next one used our Layering Circles Framelits Dies (141705). While the ribbon is currently unavailable you could use our beautiful 1/4″ Double Stitched Daffodil Delight Ribbon (144116) in the Annual Catalog for a bold pop of color!
This next card uses our Watercolor Paper and Aqua Pen to add color to the frog. And do you recognize the paper? It’s our Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper (146902). And the beautiful ruffle is our Lemon Lime Twist 3/8″ Mini Ruffle Ribbon (146947). I love this stuff it ties lovely!
And finally I love how this one uses our Tea Room Specialty Designer Series Paper (146894) fly pattern – how perfect is that? I love how Stampin’ Up!s products all work together.

The Flowering Desert stamp set can be found in the Occasions Catalog and is perfect for those of us who love succulents and cactus.
These plants are beautiful and as some one without a green thumb perfect for me since I tend to forget to water my plants. lol. I remember as a child my Aunt who lives in Arizona gave us our first cactus and I can remember my mother’s excitement as the little babies came along. She would carefully transplant and our collection grew. I’m not so sure my little brother has the same memories tho since he had a run it with her favorite one summer. Ouch!
These cards today use the Flowering Desert stamp set – so why not check them out?
