Happy Summer, everyone!

Well, people... it's officially summer!  Yippee!  The temperature should be a little better for the next few days, before we go into rain again for the weekend.  Ugh!  Who needs rain on a weekend?  


I know you came here wanting to see a card that will inspire you to stamp, so here you go...

This is another card I received as a swap on the recent cruise... this one is by Kim Vogel.  If you look on pages 44 and 45 of the new catalog, you can see all the new products in this product suite, called Affectionately Yours.  The colors in this DSP are Crumb Cake, Cucumber Crush, Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron, Night of Navy, and Watermelon Wonder.  There's also a touch of metallic copper in this DSP.  To bring out the copper in the paper, there's  some copper embossing powder and Copper Metallic Thread.  There's also a great stamp set (Love & Affection), some coordinating embossing folders, and some fun washi tape. 

 Stampin'Up!'s coordination of products is one of its true strengths.  Where else can you go to purchase stamp sets, card stock, ribbon, printed paper, washi tape, and embossing folders, dies, and punches that all go together perfectly?  Yes, you can shop at M's and get bargain card stock that's pretty flimsy and accessories that don't match,  so your cards are not going to have that professional look like you get with Stampin'Up! products.  

While I'm in the transition phase between homes, of course I won't be holding classes and events. But you can always order Stampin'Up! products through me.  Just send me your order via email and I'll get back to you promptly with your shipping charges and total.  
Thanks for checking in with me today!  I hope that Monday is going along well for you!  Please come back on Wednesday for another classic card!
Hugs and summer happiness,
Susan
