Apothecary Accents | Stamp, Scrap & Create with Me

Wow, I spent the last couple of days immersed in paper work for taxes and hope I’m through the worst of it now. What a bummer – I sure wish there was a “tax fairy” who could just wave their wand and have it all tied up in a neat little bow for me. How about you? I thought at this point you’d enjoy a little tax humor – maybe you can relate.

Well on to something a bit more fun – stamping! I got to play a bit in my classroom today and here is what I came up with using the Peachy Keen Stamp Set from the Occasions Catalog. I thought this card would be a bright and cheerful hello for a friend who is a bit under the weather.

What do you think? Would it cheer you up?

I love the Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper from the Occasions catalog with it’s retro colors and fun patterns. I find myself reaching for it a lot and for all different kinds of projects too – that reminds me I probably need to order another package!

Here is a card that I made recently using the NEW Layered Labels stamp set and the Comfort Café Designer Series Paper from the 2012-2013 Catalog. I’ve used the embedded embossing technique to add texture and make it look “quilted”.

Have you had a chance to see all the new goodies yet in the NEW 2012-2013 Catalog? Some wonderful new products have just been introduced and this card shows you a number of the NEW items. The Layered Labels stamp set coordinates with our NEW Apothecary Accents Framelits. I just love how easy it is to use the Framelits don’t you? You stamp first and just line up the frame over the image the way you want. The combinations are endless. I’m so glad that Stampin’ Up! has introduced several new Framelits and Edgelits in the NEW 2012-2013 Catalog!

Getting together with my stamping friends is soo… much fun and so I’m sorry to say I won’t be able to join them this month. I did however make this swap to share for when they get together today. My husband, Larry is being sweet enough to take them for me while I’m gone so I’ll look forward to seeing what they have made when I return home from my visit with my sister. I’ll try and share some of them when I can.
