If you remember this post, I mentioned that I loved the “hello” greeting in the My Friend stamp set (Wood 122585, Clear 122587).
Although this is a simple, monochromatic card, the swirls on the image make it special.
For this card, I stamped the image in Poppy Parade ink and layered onto Whisper White and Poppy Parade cardstocks and Pocketful of Posies designer series paper. The only embellishment comes from the Poppy Parade Glimmer Brads from the In Color 2010-2012 assortment.
This card was so quick and easy to make but I’m sure the recipient will never know.
Hope you like it!

You are going to love these!
The new In Colors (from top to bottom) are Island Indigo, Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral, Pool Party and Lucky Limeade.
These colours will be available for two years and have great matching accessories including Designer Printed Brads and 3/8″ Ruffled Ribbon.
For this card, I used the new Pennant Parade stamp set (Wood 122740, Clear 122742). This set is so much more than pennants. Can you spot the Christmas tree and ice cream cone?

I bet you didn’t even know that Stampin’ Up! includes a free chair with every order. Actually, neither did I.
It was a busy day at my house as I was unpacking items for my retired sale last week and the the kids were supposed to be vacuuming and dusting. Fortunately, my camera was close at hand and I was able to snap this picture of my daughter, Alex before she even noticed I was in the room. We really do have comfortable furniture but apparently sitting in a Stampin’ Up! box and reclining against the vacuum is much better.
So, place your order today and receive your free Stampin’ Up! chair! While supplies last!

My habit is to always show my husband, Phil, my cards after I make them. I think I do it because I just like to have a second opinion.
When I shared this card with him today his response was “well, that’s simple”. I guess I achieved my stamping goal today!
For this Simple Saturday card, I wanted to highlight the new Lace Ribbon Border Punch from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalogue. By using the punch in place of a stamped image as the focal point it was easy to create the card in only a couple of minutes.
I stamped a greeting from the Curly Cute stamp set in Basic Black Classic ink and used Basic Black and Crumb Cake card stocks along with the Neutrals Patterns DSP Paper Stack.
Have a great weekend!

This card features both new and retiring products. The 5/8″ grosgrain ribbons are all on the Last Chance List including the Early Espresso ribbon (119955) that I used here, one of my favorites. If you are a ribbon hound like me, check out all of the retiring ribbons including some reduced by 25% by clicking here, then on accessories.
Only 4 days left to order retiring products!
I used the Flower Fest stamp set (wood 122278, clear 122280) for this card with Rose Red, Regal Rose, Daffodil Delight and Early Espresso inks. I love the bold images in this set for layered stamping. I coloured the center of each stamped image with a sponge dauber and the same colour of ink.
I also used the new Lace Ribbon Border Punch to make a baroque looking border for this card. This punch is definitely one of the first items you will want to order from the new 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalogue.
Catalogues will be in the mail tomorrow or as soon as Canada Post cooperates. Included with the catalogue are monthly coupons and Ink Crowd tracking sheets. Start watching your mailboxes.

Today’s card is one of the projects we made last night at Viola’s workshop. Thanks to all of the ladies who attended. I had fun meeting each of you and sharing our time stamping some projects.
This card is a great masculine card using some of the Summer Mini Catalogue products – The Open Sea stamp set (wood #123030 or clear #123032), Early Espresso Baker’s Twine (123124) and the Nautical Expedition designer series paper (122343).
One of the topics we discussed last night at the workshop is that we tend to buy alot of floral stamp sets and seem to not have a masculine set when we need it. My favourite two sets for masculine cards are Lovely As a Tree (115026) and this one, The Open Sea.
Do you have male influenced stamp sets in your collection? If not, purchase one today so you are ready to make great cards for the men in your life for every occasion.
