And here is today's card - simple and fun, using some brand new Designer Papers along with a funky flower. Keep Calm is from a brand new hostess set you can earn. There are some beautiful new sets that you'll want to use over and over again.

Petal Flower Card

I think this 5-Petal Flower punch is so much fun - this time I punched it out on the card front and then added a flower made from the same punch. Dressed it up with a button and ribbon and a simple card is born! Tomorrow is the last day to order it! Click here to get that taken care of.

The sentiment banner is die cut using the Bitty Banners Framelit Die - available June 1st! I once again punched the banner from the card front and then flipped the cut out piece of card stock, stamped a sentiment and adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals.

And the inside using Betsy's Blossoms stamp set for the leaves and flower. Shooters about that wonderful grey fuzzy area - it happens to be in my lens! It always shows up at the most inconvenient times. Couldn't photo fix it for the life of me! I did okay on the others tho', me thinks. The actual card looks fine - smile!

Wow - You're the Best!

Just a quick card this evening using Floral District DSP. Love the bright, sunny colors! Perfect for the person who really is a "Wow, You're the Best". How grateful we are to have those kind of individuals in our lives!

Are you ready for the 2012 Stampin' Up! catalog - it debuts on June 1st! It's full of goodies - contact me to receive one in the mail.

I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. We had beautiful weather, good friends, good times!

Laughter....

A simple card today, as a reminder that "laughter is by definition healthy!"

Whether it's laughing at something funny or learning to laugh at yourself - try to add a little laughter to your life!

I stamped the largest flower from Betsy's Blossoms behind the DSP flower for a little added interest. I'm lovin' the new Apothecary Framelits - available for order June 1st!

Fun Flower Package

I had a couple of thank you's to send out that needed something extra with it - like some of our great product. I chose some Designer Buttons to hide between the layers of this flower!

  

                                                                                                                                                                  

  

 I began by cutting a large scalloped circle using the Big Shot! and the Scalloped Circle #2 Die (only available until May 31st!). I then adhered a Shaker Frame filled with Designer Buttons! It was topped off with two flowers created with the Fun Flowers Bigz L Die and a Brights Designer Button. You could fill it with anything - brads, ribbon, candy, die cut flowers....

Here's a side view - now you'd never have a reason to actually look at it like this but

I wanted to show you to help explain how I sandwiched the pieces.   

And another color scheme!

And There's More!

So, what do you think of this new paper? It's one of the all-new Floral District Designer Series papers. Pretty, isn't it?

It teams up with Rich Razzleberry, Baja Breeze and Daffodil Delight. I think it's great and look forward to using it many, many times!

It's a little hard to see in this picture, but the card also sports a brand new die cut - a rectangle with a place on each end that's perfect for tying ribbon through. It's one of the  new dies in the Apothecary Accents Framelit collection.

Stay posted - there's more coming every day until you've seen all this paper has to offer!
