Hand Delivered Hostess Set


With the new annual catalog in your hands already, and ordering from the new catalog beginning Friday, June 1, I wanted to share with you one of the new Hostess stamp sets from the new catalog.  Knowing that your new catalog order will likely be a large order, you'll love this select set, only available with an order over $150.00.  

Hand delivered is such a cute little set you'll find useful for all sorts of celebrations.  I put together two quick cards to give you ideas, but you're sure to come up with many, many more uses for this set.  Use it for graduations, birthdays, weddings, thank you, and Miss you.   
  
     



The first card today uses Coastal Cabana, one of the returning colors, as a base card.  Then I added a layer of Rich Razzleberry.  Then the image layer is Whisper White. 

I stamped the image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then colored the books, skirt and shoes with an assortment of Blends Markers.    

  


  



The sentiment is one of the seven different sentiments included in this set.  It is stamped in Black Tuxedo Memento ink.    



Take a look at both card below to see how similar color themes can work as separate cards or as sentiments for the inside of your cards.  This set was so much fun to play with today, I found it hard to stop and post my cards!   




This set is only available with a $150 order (minus shipping and tax). Add it to your wish list as you're putting together your new catalog order.  Find this on page 229 of your new catalog.  Its valued at US $21.00, but with your $150 order, you can purchase this cute hostess set for US $13.00  Don't miss it!

Rose Garden Thinlits are on sale on the Last Chance List

  • Classic Rose Wonder Stamp Set is retiring
  • Make dramatic cards using the Rose Garden Thinlits
  • Grab your seat for this week-end's Card Class, Sunday, May 27, 2018

Save now on the Rose Garden Thinlits


A fast Friday post before the long holiday week end, features  a retiring set.  The Rose Garden Thinlit and the Rose Wonder Stamp set have been a staple in my stash.  It is so easy to make quick cards with this set.  It was perfect for a fast card today.  Although this set is retiring, the thinlits are on sale in the Last Chance section of my store.  You'll love the savings, as you put together your final order before the current catalogs ends on May 31.  Its time to make sure you've ordered your favorite retiring stamp sets, thinlits, cardstock, reinkers and stamp pads.   
  
     



Today's fast-Friday card uses an Old Olive card base.  Then I added a layer of Whisper White.  Then, a print from the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper pack, which  works well for any season.

I then backed a piece of Whisper White cardstock with a piece of Multi-purpose Adhesive sheet, and used the Rose Garden Thinlit to cut out the rose and leaf as well as the sentiment shape.  I'll remind you again that this Thinlit set is on sale now.  If you love it, don't miss getting it at this great value.  Click here to see your savings. I love how easy this die cut adhered to my card front using the adhesive sheets.  You can also use the Fine-Tipped Glue, however, for the speediest card, using the Adhesive Sheets save so much time, that you'll wonder why you haven't purchased these handy sheets before now.  

    

  


  



I used the Rose Wonder Stamp set to stamp the boarder on the sentiment label and a sentiment from this wonder, versatile set to stamp the Thank You.  I popped the sentiment up on Dimensionals before adding it to the card.    

It was a busy day, so I was very happy this card came together as quickly as it did.  This is another set I'll likely keep long after its retired since I find it to be one of the most useful sets for so many different occasions.  Don't miss it!
