The Summer Mini catalog begins today!!!  I'm sure you have your favorite stamp sets… I certainly do!  

Elements of Style:

The minute I saw this set, I knew it would become my best friend!  I love it.  I have a feeling we'll be using this set more often than not… I hope you like it too!

The butterfly is a single stamp – All A Flutter… it's very nice!  I hope it makes it to the new catalog in July!

I used the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz on this project.  Some of the projects have the spritz all over each layer, others on just the lower layer. 

This card shows the texture really well.  The texture matches the stamp set sooo well.  Here i used crystal effects over the butterfly.  If you'd like to do this, I'd suggest waiting until the ink on the butterfly/humming bird complete dries – or it runs.  Here I used the floral large stamp as a background and the scrolly stamp for the focal.  (This is Green Flowers Project #4… I really need to quit the green flower business!)

I love amethyst!!!

May I say Baaa Ling???  A few stampers asked me about heat & stick powder…  This project is my answer. 

Man card – oh, it's so hard to make a man card and be 'feelin it'.  Ya know???  I love this fold/layout…  There are far too many choices with this project…  Oh well.  I can't wait to see what you come up with! 

AND… as promised, Charms! 

Stampin Up introduced Simply Adorned Charms during convention in July.  WE all loved them.  A few lucky convention attendees won them… we all were SO envious!  The charms are so well made.  I thought it would be fun to make one charm design per month.  I will provide supplies to make a design for the 1 x 1.25 charm.  

If you don't have a charm, or have a different size charm and are not interested in getting this size – you can still participate in this bonus project (I will provide materials each month thru December). 

If you don't have a charm – get one.

If you are not sure you want a charm – you can still make the designs and give them to a friend that does have a charm… or get a charm and give as a gift in December. The charms are nice as a cell phone charm (little ones) or, stampin basic supply tote decoration.

If you like a different size charm more than this size – you can still make your design and punch/cut to fit once you get home. 

The charms are well constructed.  The front has beveled glass.  The back is flat.  The closing latch mechanism is both snap and magnetic. They come with a green SU logo piece of cardstock that doubles as a perfect template for getting the exact perfect size paper…  It also comes with a thin piece of foam for any design without bling or embellishments… so the designs fit snug.
