Layering Love

IMG_8457Well, today is “The Sale” and New Catalog Pick-Up.  I’m having an open house to sell all of my retired items and while people are here they can pick up a copy of Stampin’ Up!’s new catalog.

Do you have your copy of the new catalog?  You’re going to want to check it out!  If you’d like a copy be sure to let me know.

Now, you can’t have a Stampin’ Up! event without stamping so I designed an easy little card for people to make.  Can you spot the new items I’ve used on it?  Yep.  The designer paper, the heart framelit and the stamp set.  Pretty cute don’t you think?  🙂

The Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper is bright and fun.  Ten of the sheets in the pack are regular double-sided designs and the other two sheets have copper embossing on them.  Very pretty.  Apparently copper is the new big thing this year.  There is copper embossed paper, copper embossing powder and copper metallic thread.  I’m anxious to try them all out!

If you recall, the squares, circles and oval framelits all retired but don’t fret!  There are new sets call “Layering” squares, circles and ovals.  It’s kind of fun because there are both plain shapes and scalloped shapes all in the same set sized perfectly for…..layering!  There is all a fun framelit set of different sized hearts called “Sweet & Sassy“.  The hearts won’t layer as nicely as the other shapes but you get 15 different sized and shaped hearts in the set.  These are the framelits I used on this card.  You may think this heart is huge but the card is actually made using the Crumb Cake Note Cards & Envelopes.

What better way to make use of these fun layering framelits than with a stamp set made just to fit them.  Layering Love is that set and the one I used on this card.  Live, Laugh, Love is kind of my motto in life.  If you can’t laugh, even at yourself, what more is there?

Have a great day!  Live, Laugh & Love!!!!
