| There are 6 Framelits Dies in the Hearts Collection, 2 are larger than the one I used here and 3 are smaller. The Designer Series Paper in the background (both on the card & behind it) are part of the new Twitterpated package. This is the largest stamp in the Take It to Heart set and is perfect for coloring. |
 |
| This is another fun stamp from the Take It to Heart set. I love the way the ruffled ribbon makes it "pop" and the Cherry Cobbler dazzling details adds a fun touch. The large Paper Doily sizzlet was cut from Blushing Bride cardstock and the new Blushing Bride smooch spray makes it shimmer. The sentiment continues inside with "...begin with you!" and is one of nine sets in the Petite Pairs stamp set. |

| I love this Spice Cake DSP. If you love it too, be sure to order some before the Holiday Mini Catalog sales period ends on January 3rd! |
 |
| I think the Just Add Cake DSP is a perfect match for a teacher. |
 |
| Here is a close-up |
 |
| This set is done using the Paisley Petals DSP |
 |
| The Mocha Morning Specialty DSP is simply yummy! |
 |
| Don't you think? |
 |
| The star topper is made following the instructions found here |
 |
| The lacy ornament is made by scoring a 11" strip of Whisper White every 1/8" before punching it with the Lace Ribbon Border punch. Accordion fold the delicate strip and connect the two end together with Sticky Strip. Create the rosette by pressing down the center and gluing it to a 1" circle on the back. The center front is punched from the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch. I sprayed the ornament with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz before adding the Pearl accent center. |

| Here is just a sample of some tags & cards I have been busy making. I have been going through a lot of Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler card stock lately. The ornament shapes are from the Delightful Decorations stamp set and punched with the coordinating Ornament punch. The snowflake shapes on the lower card are also from the Delightful Decorations stamp set and punched with the Boho Blossoms punch. I have shown you the Stitched Stockings stamp set & punch before and the upper card showcases it again along with the fabulous Very Vanilla Velvet Ribbon. |

| This week I made several of these gift boxes filled with 3"x 3" notecards and a decorated candy. I will keep them with me to give new friends who want to know what Stampin' Up! is. Yes, there really are people out there who don't know! I love the Button Buddies stamp set paired with sentiments from Teeny Tiny Wishes. |
 |
| The leaf is stamped in Versamark ink on Glossy White card stock and heat embossed with the new Pewter embossing powder. I used my Aqua Painter and Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie & Old Olive re-inkers to color the leaves before cutting them out. The background stamped leaves and greeting are stamped in More Mustard on Very Vanilla card stock. |

| I used strips of the Spice Cake designers series paper along with Cherry Cobbler and Pear Pizzazz card stock cut in widths of 1", 1.25", 1.5", 1.75" & 2". For the larger sizes two 12" DSP or, 11.5" CS, strips are attached end-to-end with Sticky Strip after scoring. It does take a lot of scoring at every 1/8" but the Simply Scored makes it so easy! Folded rosettes are glued to 1.25" or 1.75" circles of CS using Crystal Effects and weighted down for drying time. I found that I had some container lids the larger rosettes fit into perfectly to keep them in the correct shape while drying. Embellish to your heart's desire and attach to a wreath form with a hot glue gun. I cut about a 10" circle from chipboard weight backing of a package of Specialty Designer Series Paper. Enjoy! |
 |
| I bought this bag at convention. It was specially made with the Designer Fabric to hold... |
 |
| Our new Simply Scored! Stampin' Up! thought of everything when designing this. Notice the score tracks every 1/8"? The rulers read top to bottom, left to right AND out from a zero center. The Place Markers are simply genius and the double ended Stylus glides smoothly over the paper without tearing! |
 |
| I used both the Designer Series paper and fabric to cover this notebook and customize the pen & binder clip. |

| Finally, here is a fall card. I used stripes of fabric instead of ribbon, the leaf and acorn stamps are in the new Gently Falling set and Warmest of Wishes comes in the stamp set of the same name available to hostesses. I'm still clinging to summer but the Spice Cake Suite is really helping me make the transition to fall. |

| Total relaxation! |
