Number of Years

It’s been a very blustery day here in North Georgia and the yard is sopping wet from all the rain we’ve had today. The bands of rain coming through earlier today have been pretty intense. The power of nature always amazes me. Just a few minutes into the downpour and I watched the muddy red “rivers” form in the fields around us and our yard as the water headed to the lower ground and the creek that is close by. Hopefully as you read today’s post your dry and safe.

Anyhow on to the fun stuff!. Today’s cards use the Number of Years stamp set (140653) found on page 11 in the Occasions Catalog. While they both use the same set they are two very different cards.

This first card was given to me by my friend Anna. It’s bright and cheerful and for some reason reminds me of sock hops for some reason. (Odd I know LOL!)

I love the color combination of Basic Black and Melon Mambo. Anna used the Large Numbers Framelits (140622) to create the focal point on the front. You can get both when you order the Bundle (140811) at a 15% discount.

Open the card and you’ll get a surprise – It’s a fancy fold.

Anna also used our Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper (138445) and the cute little Party Punch Pack (140608) too!

This second card was created by Kate and uses the flower images from the set.

I LOVE the soft background Kate created. It’s soft and subtle.

Wild about Flowers

Check out this great black & white card that I received in a recent swap from Trudy using the Wild about Flowers stamp set (138728).

Wild About Flowers (2)

Black & White cards are great for beginning stampers or if you haven’t built a larger collection of supplies yet. And Stampin’ Up! has made it easier than ever since you have the option of the classic black & white Designer Series Paper package, Everyday Chic!

The Wild about Flowers stamp set is a great choice, since it covers some different occasions that aren’t normally found in a lot of our sets. You won’t be sorry when you choose this stamp set since it is classic and gives you lots of options. And Two Step stamp sets are great for easily adding color to your images.

Asking yourself, how  didTrudy made that great frame around the image? Well it’s our NEW Tags & Labels Framelits Dies (138282). This set of Framelits Dies contain 4 different shapes in several sizes – so you have lots of options in just one set.
