WELCOME BACK "GREAT FRIEND"!

I am thrilled that an "old favourite" stamp set of mine, from last year's Spring Mini Catalogue, has made its way into Stampin' Up!'s brand new Idea Book & Catalogue.  "Great Friend" is a beautiful set of 5 stamps, for only $31.95.  I've missed being able to use the gorgeous butterfly from this set. I also love the frame (that frames this card's sentiment) - it's a very easy shape to cut around.

While I'm impatiently awaiting delivery of my new colours of card and ink (that might be a couple of weeks away still), I thought I'd use some colours I love from the core range.  Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla go beautifully together; I've popped them onto a Crumb Cake card base.  I need to get out of the habit of telling everyone I use a lot of Kraft card, and embrace the name change!!  Don't you just love the Very Vanilla and Basic Black "Newsprint" Designer Series Paper I've used on this card?

Stamps: Great Friend, Wonderful Favourites

Card: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black textured

Ink: Soft Suede and Rich Razzleberry stampin' pads, Versamark inkpad

Other: Newsprint DSP, clear embossing powder, Pewter Build-a-Brad, 1/2" circle punch, Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon, sponge daubers, Sticky Strip, paper snips

I have worked out my class schedule for September.  If you live in Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs, and would like to use lots of new catalogue products to make some cards, please check out the "Classes" tab at the top of this page!  I'd love to have you join in on a few hours of stamping, talking, and eating with new friends!
