This Simple Saturday card is a “sort of” sneak peek from the new Summer Mini Catalogue. For the first time that I can remember, Stampin’ Up! has carried a stamp set over from a former mini catalogue. The stamp set is Bold Blossom. And there ia a really good reason why the Bold Blossom stamp set was carried over. Look how well is matches the Doily Triple Layer punch (and the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch as well).
The Bold Blossom stamp set had been a favourite of mine from the minute I received it. The price point is great – $15.95 for Wood and $11.95 for Clear. Plus it has four great images that work well together. Click here to see the set.
For this card, I topped the flower stem with punches from the Doily Triple Layer punch. I layered the three different punches and attached a Tempting Turquoise Glimmer Brad to the center to hold them together. Next, I scrunched them up a bit so the different layers were visible. The name Doily seems to fit this punch well as the designs of the punch are very pretty and delicate.
Have a great weekend and happy stamping!

More new stamp sets and accessories!
This card features another new Summer Mini 2011 Catalogue stamp set – Pretty Postage. This set of four images – a heart with 24-7, a floral (I think it’s actually a raspberry) with the word sweet, happy birthday with a tiered cake of candles and this thank! thanks! thanks! image.
Plus, a Postage Stamp Punch to match.
I made this card with the Beyond the Garden designer series paper I also used here and the new Tangerine Tango embossing powder and white Baker’s Twine. I love how the embossing powder makes the image “pop”.

One of my favourite stamp sets in the past was the now retired Mixed Bouquet. I loved the modern flowers and the variety of shapes and sizes in that stamp set.
So, I was thrilled to see Flower Fest in the upcoming Summer Mini 2011 catalogue because it reminds me so much of my old favourite. And Flower Fest features a big improvement – the flowers in this set all fit one of Stampin’ Up!’s punches. Yeah!
I wanted to create a clean and simple card for an upcoming class so I decided to stamp the flowers in Poppy Parade ink and then punch them out with the 1-3/8″ circle. I created a card of Crumb Cake cardstock with a layered Pear Pizzazz Top Note die.
I added layers of Poppy Parade and Whisper White cardstock with a polka dot patterned paper from the In Color Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack. This paper is so versatile that I leave it out on my desk because I reach for it so often. Check it out on top of page 175 of the Idea Book & Catalogue.
To finish the card, I added Poppy Parade 1/2″ Stitched Ribbon and a greeting from another new stamp set, Happy Greetings.

Today’s sneak peek features several new products from the soon to be available Summer Mini Catalogue.
This card uses a flower stamp from the new set Fabulous Florets stamp set plus lots of new accessories – Melon Mambo embossing powder, Beyond the Garden designer series paper and the Flower Garden embossing folder. Trust me! There are lots of great new stamp sets and accessories coming soon.
To make this card, I stamped the flower with VersaMark ink and then heat embossed with the Melon Mambo embossing powder. The center of the flower was coloured in with a Wild Wasabi marker. The flower was cut out with the Circles #2 die for the Big Shot (this die is a must for layering wit the 2-1/2″ circle punch) and layered onto a punched 2-1/2″ Basic Black cardstock circle.
Next I layered a Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi patterned paper from the Beyond the Garden paper pack onto Basic Black cardstock and created layering pieces of Melon Mambo cardstock embossed with the Sqaure Lattice folder and a greeting from the Fabulous Florets stamp set both also layered onto Basic Black cardstock.
Before assembling the card I embossed Wild Wasabi cardstock with the new Flower Garden embossing folder. This folder is so pretty as a background or as the main image on your card.

I promise you. You are going to want this punch. In fact, you can add it to your Summer Mini Catalogue wish list right now!
All of these blossom punched shapes came from one punch, the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch. It is really three punches in one. Depending on the setting you choose from the sliding lever, you get one of three unique punched shape or shapes. So cool!
I made this card using Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery cardstocks, one of my favourite subtles colour combinations. After adhering the punches to the Whisper White cardstock, I used the Inlaid Embossing technique on the card with the Square Lattice embossing folder for the Big Shot.
A really quick and easy card thanks to the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch.
