Moroccan Nights
This stamp set was an All Attendee give away at OnStage in April and Shelli and Sarah made some stunning cards. I kept this card simple using Dapper Denim my favorite In color. Random stamped on Whisper White and added some Rhinestones. The Sentiment is from a great Sentiment set with a Matching punch! "Thoughtful Banners"
So many Sentiments in this set and they all fit in the frames and punch, I will be using this lots!!

Labeler Alphabet
I saw this saying on a Face Book post and immediately thought of the Pineapple in the "Pop of Paradise" stamp set. SU is also offering a HUGE single pineapple stamp in the New catty available June 1st. Either would work with this saying. You could print the saying OR use this "Labeler Alphabet" set. Photopolymer so easy to line up and the wonky look is in for labeling so mine is a bit askew, but still love the look! Always Artichoke, Peekaboo Peach and Crushed Curry inks color the Pineapples.

Basket for You....New Hostess set with Dapper Denim
I pre-purchased 1 new Hostess set. This basket caught my eye and this is a bit odd color combo, but I wanted a Dapper Denim IN Color card base and some more of this Fabulous 3/8th ruched ribbon. I stamped the stripes tone on tone. Colored the Flower Basket with Wisteria Wonder, Crushed curry, Rich Razzleberry, Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzazz. Used Circle Framelits to cut out and a Circle of Rich Razzleberry to back the basket.

Painter's Palette in Sweet Sugarplum
This card uses new set Painter's Palette with a square background. Usually you would throw away this square piece of rubber, but Brandy Cox showed us this background at "OnStage". Harder than I thought, but still makes an easy background. New In Color Sweet Sugarplum is so soft and looks good stamped in shades. Full Strength, then stamp again and again before re-inking.
I fussy cut the easel and added some Washi tape and Rhinestones.

Swirly Birds sitting on the Wire
I arrived home today from the Illinois Cemetery trip and had to get busy with my pre-order of new catty products. This Stamp Set and matching Framelits bundle really caught my eye. And after spending a few days in "Birdland" the sub-division my Aunt lives in, I was truly inspired to use Birds. Blue Bird is the first street you turn on to get to her house. So here we have Blue Birds, well actually Marina Mist Birds sitting on a wire and on the nest.

Pictogram Punches
Ok this makes me really sad, but I will still be able to use this set and matching punch because I will NEVER give it up. I cannot function without this little flower. My favorite punch pack ever! Buy the Bundle and save NOW before it retires!
And here is the 4X4 paper trick we were shown at OnStage. Carrie Cudney did a demo on this technique and it will help you use up your Designer paper and if you place an order on the Hostess code I will send you some 4X4 squares to try for your self!
This paper is Botanical Gardens from the Occasions catty. I have not used ANY of this pack of paper! Or the Matching stamps and Framelits!! Shame on me! Thank goodness the Stamps and Framelits will be in the new catalog, so I can show them some more love.
Anyway back to this card. Cut the 4X4 square at an angle. Then add your paper to your card base. Your paper will be framed by 1/4 inch and the gap between leaves you plenty of room for your sentiment and embellishments. I use Mint Macaron to stamp the Vase and cut out with the Framelit from Rose Wonder. I then stamped the flowers on Crushed Curry and punched out with the matching flower from the punch pack. Added with Glue dots and added some Rhinestones. Super simple!

Remembering Kevin's Birthday
My Brother would have been 61 today. He was a Big time party planner, loved to entertain and always made where ever he was working fun for all the party occasions. He also loved flowers and did a minor in Botany in College. SO Corner Garden is a must for the Gardener in your life. I watercolored the Garden and added the Sentiment from Remembering Your Birthday. Both items are retiring and the Garden is ON SALE in Clear only!! Some clear Wink of Stella adds the shimmer.

Choose Happiness
I am going to try and make a card every day for the next 10 days using a stamp set that is retiring that I will miss! I know.....get over it!! But I want YOU to make sure you are OVER it, in case you want to ORDER it!! Stampin' Up will make stamp sets until May 22nd for the Retiring sets, so if you really want something on that list, don't delay.
This set is retiring and I will miss it greatly. This set can be used for many Occasions, today I am making a Wedding card. Soft colors in a collage background. And Rhinestones, lots of them.....
I stamped the Flowers first, Blushing Bride ink on Blushing Bride card stock. I then stamped Basic Gray for the 4 lines and Smoky Slate for the leaves. The Sentiment is Basic Gray ink on Smoky Slate card stock, punched with the Label Bracket punch, also retiring.......I hate this time of year, and then I look at the NEW catalog and SMILE!! But will still miss my favorites!
I also tried Splattering Clear Wink of Stella on this card. I think I have more on me then the card! But it is very pretty in person.
