Did you see my Stampin’ Sunday video with the beautiful Pretty Prints DSP? Here are a few more cards I made last week to show off at my catalogue launch! Be sure to tell me in the comments which one is your favourite!

For this card, I used the Shaded Summer stamp set and the co-ordinating dies, Summer Shadows. These dies were first offered as a Sale-a-Bration item earlier this year, and now they are back in the new annual catalogue! I love the way these dies allow me to create layered flowers in whatever colours I want – and the stamp set has such a lovely array of sentiments. On this card, the sentiment is stamped on a shape cut out with one of the new Stylish Shapes dies, one of the terrifically versatile new die sets. If you look closely, you’ll see an iridescent rhinestone sparkling in the centre of the flower!

After I’d made that card in the Coastal Cabana colour, I had to try it again with the Blackberry Bliss and Evening Evergreen papers (the paper pack also includes Calypso Coral, but I didn’t have any of the co-ordinating cardstock on hand).

Then I wanted to play with one of my new stamp sets, Limited Edition. This is a fabulous stamp set with lots of cute and charming imagery – and most importantly, it will keep you in compliance with Stampin’ Up!’s Angel Policy. The policy states that when any crafter, whether demonstrator or customer, wants to sell the handmade products they’ve made with Stampin’ Up!’s copyrighted imagery, they must include the stamped text of “© Stampin’ Up!”. This stamp set includes six different stamps with that text, as well as some other lovely messages like the one below, which is my favourite!

Here are a couple more cards using the same layout and stamp set. Again, the dies are Stylish Shapes. You can sure see the beautiful images on the paper in this simple layout!
