I am totally smitten with this gorgeous NEW Rooted in Nature Suite available in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. It reminds me so much of a classic favorite I have in my collection which I am sure is a favorite for many others as well...Lovely as a Tree Stamp Set. The details in the stamped images are simply stunning and there is so much versatility also with all all occasion sayings.

I really liked May's Paper Pumpkin Kit, Manly Moments. It includes 5 regular cards and 5 tri-fold cards with lined envelopes to match, lots of stickers, embellishments and banners and a new color Mossy Meadow Ink Spot plus lots of sentiments for all the guys in our lives. I loved the outdoorsy look of the cards. My alternate project this month was a gift card holder as well as a nice masculine themed card. I hope the person in your life that you make it for appreciates your time and thoughtfulness to make them something special.

What a stunning vibrant color set of Thank You cards! I think the Watercolor Wash and Floral Statements "Thanks" stamp make this technique so easy.....but yet it looks so difficult.
The Watercolor Wash Background Stamp is only available until June 1st, 2018. I think this is a gorgeous addition to a stamp collection for simple easy backgrounds that look amazing! So, if you would like to purchase this background stamp it comes in wood mount and clear mount...you need to order it soon...only 2 weeks left!

This is an amazingly easy 2 step card to make. The 3-D look of the tulips is stunning and so very easy to line up. The tulips look beautiful in every gorgeous Stampin' Up color I have ever used. This is a great versatile stamp set that is only available as a Host Reward and by just adding different sentiments could be used for a variety of projects, Blank, Happy Birthday, Mother's Day, Thank You, Hello, Get Well and I could continue on but I think you get the idea. There are no sentiments in this stamp set. Ask your demonstrator how you can earn this lovely stamp set now. June 1st, 2018 will be the deadline to earn this one for free.
