With Love and Care

Here are some cards that I made with the hostess set from the summer mini called Love & Care.  Perfect Plum is the color I used. 

I used the first edition and subtles dsp.  Some different punches as each one was slightly different between the modern label, scallop border, scallop circle, word window, etc.  Some had ribbon, some had rhinestones, some had brads, etc.  I used the stamp and write markers to color the flower with perfect plum and old olive and stamped them twice without reinking on the first edition dsp.  Also used very vanilla cs.  A fun card that you can put pretty much any greeting on.  Below is a peek at how I did the inside on some of them. 

Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for stopping by!  Back to the hay fields for me for the day!  Hoping the rain will stay away!

New Catalog Time!

Well, once again, it is time for a new Stampin' Up! year.  July 1 unveiled the new IB & C.  Here is a picture of the cover--isn't it beautiful??

You can view it or place orders online at http://www.rheastamps.stampinup.net/   Now onto a bit of creativity to inspire your stamping thoughts.  This card is made with one of the new stamp sets called My Friend.  So fitting to share with all my stamping friends out there. 


I used perfect plum and basic gray for cardstock along with vanilla.  I used a piece of vanilla on the inside as well to cover the basic gray base.  Also showcased in this card is a new punch called lace ribbon border.  I absolutely love this punch.  I added a few rhinestones for bling and the taffeta ribbon is in basic gray as well but this is a discontinued ribbon so if you still have some you are in luck otherwise I would use the perfect plum 3/8 inch taffeta which is new in the current IB&C.  We have lots of new ribbons and colors; be sure to check them all out.  Thanks for stopping by today.
