Summer Mini product suites ...

Did you see the product suites in the Summer Mini Catalog?  Each one has a distinctive look and style, with stamps and accessories.  These collections of products are designed to coordinate together so you can spend your time creating instead of coordinating.  And they're not just in the mini catalogs; they appear throughout the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog, too!

I just love the masculinity of the Nautical Expedition Suite, don't you?  This card* would be perfect for any man in your life ...

*Card handcrafted by Stephanie Luman

The ship image, from The Open Sea Stamp Set (Wood - #123030; Clear - #123032), was stamped on Vellum Cardstock (#101856) then a stylus was used on the backside to add "wind" to the sails.  The Nautical Expedition Designer Series Paper (#122343) and Cherry Cobbler/White Baker's Twine (#123125), two other products from the suite, were also used.

To order your Stampin' Up! products, visit my online store or contact me at padrybala@fuse.net for personal assistance.  And don't forget the "Buy 3 Get 1 Free" Designer Series Paper sale currently in progress (ends August 31st).  It includes Nautical Expedition as well as many other designs so it's a great time to stock up on your favorites!

Wood - #123015 - $11 Hostess - $18.95 Value

Clear - #123017 - $8 Hostess - $13.95 Value

Playful Polka Dots ...

The time left for Stampin' Up!'s Summer Mini Catalog is growing short.  Your last chance to order is just two weeks away.  With that in mind, the next several posts here on Stamped Sentiments will feature products from the Summer Mini.  First up is the Playful Polka Dots Simply Scrappin' Kit ... You'll find everything you need to easily embellish and preserve your summer memories with the bright colors and playful designs in this kit.  It's so handy, you'll have more time to make more memories!  Kit includes three sheets each of 12" x 12" double-sided paper; two sheets each of 12" x 12" textured card stock; three 12" x 12" self-adhesive die-cut image sheets (two 6" x 12" sheets are connected to create each 12" x 12" sheet).

But if you'd rather use your kit for cardmaking, that's quite alright.  In fact, that's what I've done for this project ...

This decorative box contains eight unique 3" x 6" notecards along with a supply of our Whisper White Small Open-End Envelopes.  Here are just a few of the card designs ...

Would you like to see more of these card designs?

Simply include the Playful Polka Dots Simply Scrappin' Kit (#122346) and a package of the Whisper White Small Open-End Envelopes (#107286) on your next Stampin' Up! order placed by visiting my online store or contacting me at padrybala@fuse.net for personal assistance.  I'll then send you photo's of all eight cards plus the template for the decorative box so you can recreate the entire project on your own.*  But remember, August 31st is the last day to order from the Summer Mini Catalog so don't delay!

*Only half of Playful Polka Dots Simply Scrappin' Kit used for featured project.  Additional supplies needed are Rose Red 8-1/2" x 11" Cardstock, Scallop Border Punch, Paper Snips, Sticky Strip, SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals

Blossom Bouquet birthday ...

Here's a quick and cute birthday card ...

Stamps:  Swirls & Curls Verses (Hostess Set - Summer Mini)

Paper:  Cardstock - Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise; Designer Series Paper - Brights Patterns Stack

Ink:  Classic - Rich Razzleberry

Tools & Accessories:  Punches - Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer, Cupcake Builder; Paper-Piercing Tool; Mat Pack; Clear Rhinestone Brads; Adhesive - SNAIL, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin' Dimensionals

This was my first project using one of Stampin' Up!'s new layering punches.  I chose "Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer" (#122464) for this card, but there's another one called "Doily Triple Layer" (#122465).  Both are pictured here ...

Create three coordinated punch images with just one punch.  Images look beautiful layered together or separately, giving you more creative options!  Simply move the easy-to-use front lever to the image you'd like, then punch.  Three-images-in-one punch body also saves on storage space.  Instructions are included.  So get ready to punch, punch away!
