It's A Reason To Smile

I love Gerber Daisies.  Their color palate ranges from pastel to very vibrant.  A spot of cheer in my garden all summer long (as long as they get enough water!) when the other flowers have faded.

If you haven't taken advantage of the Reason To Smile promotion, there is still time.  Buy $50 of Stampin' Up! merchandise and get this adorable 2-step stamp set for just $5 during the month of July.  You choose:  wood or clear.

Vintage Papaya Collage

I hope you are as excited as I am for the new Stampin' Up! catalog, which begins today!  It is always fun to refresh your stampin' supplies with new and innovative stamps, tools and colors.

One beautiful new set is Papaya Collage, which works beautifully with the vintage style.

I have used 2 of the new In Colors here as well; Raspberry Ripple & Gumball Green.  I stamped off with the green leaflet, meaning I stamped with a freshly inked stamp, then stamped again without re-inking to get the dark, light and very light images.  I like using the edge of my scissors to rough up the edges before "daubing" on the Soft Suede, as you can see on the Very Vanilla frame.  I used my fingers on the embossed Raspberry Ripple to get the worn look.  There is a little bit of fussy cutting on the bird and rose, but not too hard.
