Wishing endlessly for this!

I have loved photopolymer stamps for a loooong time! I was so happy when Stampin' Up! started carrying them. One of my favorites--Endless Birthday Wishes--sold out quickly, and I've been waiting and *wishing* for it to come back in stock. Now it's here! Great sentiments AND images! Great for birthdays, of course, but also for so many occasions. Any party, celebration, or congratulatory card. Lots of potential. Take a peak.

So what are you waiting for???? Click here to order your Endless Birthday Wishes! Please consider using the hostess code 72NASQQK. Thanks!

Paper Pumpkin Bonus card

This card is made with parts of the July Paper Pumpkin kit, with just a few extras! I used the Banner Punch on leftover bits of the Paper Pumpkin Designer Papers, then stamped the "party" stamp to create an invitation (or birthday!) suitable any time. A great side benefit of the kits is that you accumulate great stamps and ink spots (the miniature version, no longer available in the catalog) to use in other projects.

Moonlight Birthday Wishes

My Mixed Bunch set hasn't been getting any love, and I thought it would look beautiful in Blackberry Bliss ink! I stamped it three times on Sahara Sand and punched it out with the Blossom Punch. I crinkled the flowers a bit to give them dimension. The print is from the Moonlight Stack, and that yummy Blackberry ribbon is one of my favorite new things!

Paper Pumpkin again

In case you thought that June's Paper Pumpkin was only about pinwheels and Independence Day, here is a sample using a couple of the stamps for something totally different!

I have a serious symmetry issue. I like everything straight and even. So I thought I'd be a little crooked for this card! I stamped the stars from Paper Pumpkin on Lost Lagoon cardstock in Lost Lagoon ink. It makes a nice contrast with the polka dots.

Project Life Birthday

I'm not much of a scrapbooker. I wish I were, though! So I bought a BUNCH of new Stampin' Up! Project Life products, and maybe one of these days I'll work up the courage to actually scrapbook with them. :-)

In the meantime, I've been making cards! This sheet is from the Everyday Adventure Card Collection on page 189 of the new catalog. I love the pattern, and it was easy peasy to add a sentiment from Blooming with Kindness (p 56) and a few ribbons to make a fun accent. The orange colored twine is actually the Gold Baker's Twine colored with the dark Pumpkin Pie Blendability marker!

It's really very simple to make cards from this collection, so if you're a cardmaker like me, grab a set and let the creativity flow! And maybe someday, we'll scrap something.
