Can we say “obsessed”!!!! That is how I feel about the stamp set “Remarkable You”.  I was not necessary overwhelmed with this set when I first strolled through the catalog.  But, all it took was for me to use it one time and my feeling changed completely.  I am truly obsessed with this stamp set.  I can not get enough of it.  Can I say it any other way.   This is a must have for sure!!!!!Remarkable You

The simple sketches are strong enough to stand on their own. Yet, they pair very will with just about any sentiment.  The images are perfect for water-coloring or just simple coloring with your Stampin’ write Markers.

I really, really want to CASE this card.  The stamp set is “Awesomely Artistic”  It’s it lovely?  It’s it pretty?  This set will be so very verstial with all the different images you get.  The dragon fly has such great detail.  I love the dots that will make it easy to add splashes of color to any background.

Awesomely Artistic

Background stamps can be overlooked very easily.  Stampin’ Up! has a lot of great background stamps.  I have picked two to share with you today.  When you look at the background stamps in the catalog remember you are getting a lot of bang for you buck.  Also, they are images that you will be using over and over on all sorts of different projects.

“Brushstrokes” background stamp is on my must have wish list.  It will be perfect for making bold watercolor like images with out actually having to watercolor anything.

“Definitely Dahlia” was on my original order from this catalog.  It is a large dahlia that measures 4 3/8 by 4 18.  I am inching to make something using this large dahlia.  I am drown to the detail of this stamp and how it almost appears to be hand painted with  watercolors.

The “celebrate” is one of the new embellishments Stampin’ Up! is offering this year.  They are great little wood pieces.  “Expressions Natural Elements” are 3D wood veneer words.  The words are Congrats, Thanks, and celebrate.  They defiantly add a lot of pizzazz to any card or project.

Stampin’ Up! really knocked it out of the ball park with their new Designer Series Paper.  I love the all!!!! Truly I do 🙂 Each set has paper that makes me smile.  So, I am going to share just a few with you.   First up is “Bohemian Designer Series Paper”

Bohemian Designer Series Paper

I have used this paper for many backgrounds on cards.  The fabulous designs are very modern.  The color combinations are spot on to make any projects shine. This paper coordinates with Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss, Island Indigo, Delightful Dijon, Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla.  If you love the modern feel of this paper then check out “Bohemian Borders”  Stampin’ Up! truly makes it easy to coordinate stamps, paper, and color.  This is one of the many reasons I LOVE Stampin’ Up! so much.

“English Garden Designer Series Paper”  is so very lovely.  It just completely makes me smile and wish I had a garden that looked like this paper.  This paper coordinates with Blushing Bride, Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Soft Suede, Whisper White.   And if you are like me and are in love with the watercolor look of this paper don’t forget to check out the stamp set “Garden in Bloom”.   These two are a perfect match for each other!!!!

“Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper” is soft and beautiful.  I am overwhelmed by how gorgeous this paper is.  It features three colors Basic Black, Sahara Sand, and Very Vanilla.  I think that it is named perfectly. Because this paper is truly “Timeless Elegance”  For even more elegance checkout “Timeless Love” stamp set.

Day two of Share the Fun Catalog Stroll

Posted by on Jul 6, 2015 in Catalog | 0 comments

Though most of us have not really started planning for Christmas.  The “Santa’s Gifts” photopolymer stamp set is on my must have list.  Annual15_p068_a_alt

I just love the Santa and the reindeer and can not weite to play with this set.  My next order will defiantly have Santa’s Gifts in it…  Especially since on August 29th  I will be hosting a Workshop featuring  Santa’s Gifts.  That day we will be making 10 Christmas Cards and gift tags for the Holiday Season.   If you love this set come join us on August 29th and make your own homemade cards.  Register For Santa’s Gifts Workshop Here

Santas Gifts

Did I mention the sentiments in this set are perfect for the inside of a card.  I think the little bird is just asking to be on a card!!!!

The next item up is a great little set that immediately made me smile.  “Pretty Thankful” is just one of those sets that I see so much potential.  The two frames are amazing.  Simple line sketches that add a little class to any design.  I adore the little xo!!!

Annual15_p079_cOne of my absolutely favorite thing in the catalog is the “Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack”.  I adore the designs in this stack.  In the Paper Stack you get 48 sheets (4 each of 12 designs)  of 6 x 6 paper.  I have this paper stack and use it all the time.  Over the next few weeks I am sure you will see many cards featuring this paper.  That’s how much I like it.  This Paper stack pares perfectly with “Pretty Thankful” stamp set.

If you don’t have a “Envelop Punch Board” it is a Must Have Tool.  I seem to make odd size cards and the Envelop Punch Board is a life savor for envelopes to match.  I  am looking forward to combining the 6 x 6 paper stacks with the punch board to make unique envelopes.

Gift’s from the Garden” is so much fun to play with.  I have this set and I am looking forward to sharing with you the card’s and other projects I have made from this set.

Annual15_p081_a

This set includes 9 rubber stamps.  Wood mounted rubber stamps are my favorite to work with!!!  This set has so many cute images that are perfect for the gardener in your life.  The polka dot boots and gloves are especially a favorite.  “Gift from the Garden” would be perfect for tags and more on all your homemade items or homegrown vegetables

I was very excited when I saw “The Wilderness Awaits” stamp set.  It is full of great animal pictures.  But, the hound picture is a particular favorite because of our own Fox Hound Daisy Mae.  The hound image looks just like her when she is on the hunt and happy 🙂

Annual15_p087_b

If you enjoy water-coloring this is the perfect stamp set for you! all the images are screaming to be water-colored… When you get this set listen carefully and you will hear the scream …..or maybe, not.  Let me know if you here it!!!  Either way, this set will be a great addition to man up your card making.

The Wilderness Awaits

Are theses images not beautiful or what?  I love the fox and the hound (obviously) The mouse is very endearing.
