Last Call for the Best Of Anniversary sets

I was reminded that the end of this month will be the last chance to purchase the Best Of anniversary stamp sets from last year.
2013 was SU's 25th anniversay and each month they brought out a new stamp set that contained stamps from over the years that were the most popular in their catagory.  The price is right on these, so if you would like any of them, now is the time to buy.

Also, Sale ABration is ending the end of this month, so why not get your Best of Sets and get your freebies as well from the Sale A Bration  brochure?

 

So, just to inspire you a bit, I decided to do a quick card using some of the Best of sets. This combines, Best of Flowers, Best of Butterflies and Best of Birthday stamps.
To check out all the Best of sets, go here:

Also used are Deco Label Framelits, Organza Ribbon (Remember this one can be recolored too) and Candy Dots.

Stampin Up PALs Paper Arts sketch challenge

This card will be going out to a very special lady, she's having some health issues and I just want her to know she has me in her corner. It always picks you up when you get a hand made card, it lets you know that the person who made it went out of their way and really cares.  One of the reasons I love what I do, and I'm able to help other people make great cards too.

Every so often I just have to make a card using this years incolors. In my opinion they are the best incolor set to come out ever.  Not only is each color gorgeous, but they flawlessly combine no matter which ones you use together.   If you are color challenged, it's the perfect set for you and you can get all of them, all 5 ink pads plus paper for the price of the 5 pads.  The paper ends up free.

I used Baked Brown Sugar for my base card, then the Strawberry Slush DSP from the Incolor paper stack.    Layered on the Baked Brown Sugar using Core'd ations, running over it with a piece of sand paper first.
I used the Labels collect framelits to put my sentiment on and frame it, using the Perfect Pennants stamp set from the Occasions mini catalog.  The butterfly is from the Best of Butterflies stamp set. It is one of a monthly set that came out during the 25th anniversary year for SU in 2013 and will be available until next month.
 Thanks for stopping by, hope I was able to give you a bit of inspiration.

It's mojo monday round or square week.  I am loving the new Modern Medley DSP (designer series paper) and I love the pop of color when you use a color with black and white.

I started with a new incolor, Coastal Cabana, a layer of Modern Medley stripe, then Whisper White.
I used a sponge and ink pad to color the Organza Ribbon.

The decorative label punch made my banner bottom.

10min Fast and Fabulous card for May15.

Here is my wed 10 min card for today.  I decided to use the new Smoky Gray for a base. And Midnight Muse for the contrast, just 2 colors. 
Layered the midnight muse piece just a bit smaller then the base card, the cut the white a bit smaller then the Midnight Muse.

Tip, if using ribbon, leave your layers unattached until ready for the ribbon to be done. I put a piece of scrap paper on part of the white and stamped using Smoky Gray and the florish from Elements of Style, stamp the sentiment, Friendly Phrases.

Wrap the ribbon, Midnight Muse 3/4" Stitched Satin  ribbon.

Stamp and cut Butterfly out of White, you can use one that fits one of the punches or fussy cut or do as I did and use a Framelit, I cut top and bottom off the framelit.

Layer butterfly using Stampin Dimentionals. Or if you like, you could just stamp the Butterfly just below the ribbon.

Colors:
Smoky Gray
Whisper White
Midnight Muse
Supplies:
Elements of Style (120045 Clear)
Best of Butterflies (133345 Clear)
Friendly Phrases (126151 Clear)

And so, here I am, freshly back from the Stampin Up regional at the home office in UT.  What a day we had!  I hope you all are looking forward to the new catalog cause it's seriously fantastic!

So, this morning I had gone to bed early as I was soooo tired from my weekend. It was over 500miles each way, up on friday, back on sunday and a big late day in between.
I hope your monitor shows the Perfect Plum better then mine is, when I cleaned up the photo it just wouldn't come up looking plum for me, but that is what it is. I paired it with Pool Party and Basic Gray.
The stamps are from the Best Of sets, Best of Butterflies and Best Of Flowers, the 25th anniversary sets.
SU is doing one a month, they are a great price and while it is the best of from older sets there are some new ones in each one as well.  If you buy each one in the month it is brought in, after 6 of them you can get a free set.
