I didn't realize I didn't have any sympathy stamp sets until I need one (good excuse to buy more stamps, right?). The elegant font used for the sympathy stamp in Teeny Tiny Wishes went well with the Delightful Daisy Suite. Since the sentiment is so small I used the bow from the Bow Builder Punch to make it stand out a little more.

I'm going to miss the Balloon Adventures stamp set from the Occasions catalogue. It includes a couple of large sentiment stamps which I've used often. I thought I'd squeeze out a few more cards before it retires.
The boots are from Country Livin' and I used Timeless Textures around the outside edge. The classic labels are attached to the front of the card with dimensionals and the ends were wrapped around the back of the card.

This card is a combo of some stamp sets that were carried over into the new catalogue. The boots are from the Country Livin' stamp set and the sentiment and back ground stamp are from the Beautiful You stamp set.
Supplies used: Pink Pirouette, Basic Black and Smokey Slate Ink, Melon Mambo Marker, Rhinestones. The black card stock was an embossed piece I found in my scrap bin. I think I originally used the retired Chevron Folder to emboss it.

Stampin' Up events are always so much fun and this one was no exception. The upcoming catalogue is a pretty good one. Lots of products that I really really want and can't wait to try. This Little Piggy stamp set was one of the sets we were given at OnStage. Of course the now retired SAB ribbon was perfect for it but there's a white ribbon trimmed in silver in the new catty that will work well too.
I used the watercolor pencils and an aqua painter to colour the image. The die cut flower and leaves are from the Swirly Scribbles dies and I added some clear Wink of Stella to give it some glitter.

I haven't played with my watercolour pencils in a while. They work well with the Mediterranean Moments stamp set. For some of the areas that I wanted a little brighter I coloured on the watercolor paper after it was wet.

I'm missing these chicks already. Wouldn't it be great if this SAB set made it into the next catty. I stamped the bottom of the Cajun Craze mat with one of the stamps from Timeless Textures and used a couple of strips of washi tape.

The Love Sparkles stamp set reminds me of barbed wire fencing so I thought it would go well with the cowboy boots from the Country Livin' stamp set.

I love the anticipation of new Stampin' Up products but there's always one product I secretly wish would somehow make it into the next catalogue even when I know it won't. A girl can dream. Right?
The Falling In Love Designer Series Paper has been one of my all time favorites. It makes such pretty cards with very little effort. I had the girls from work over for a card night and this was one of the cards we made. Most of them were new to stamping. We used some of the Falling In Love DSP I'd been hording as well as Very Vanilla Lace Trim, Gold Foil Sheets and Embossing Powder, Pearls and the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies

When I saw the little rectangle envelope from the Love Notes Framelit Dies I thought it looked a lot like crayons. I left one side flap open for the tip of the crayon and closed the other 3 flaps. The scribble is from the Sealed with a Kiss Stamp Set. It's like this bundle was screaming for someone to make a crayon card.
I used the Labeler Alphabet Stamp Set to make the sentiment and the rest of the stamps are from the Sealed with a Kiss stamp set as well.

Another OnStage sample made with the Sending Love Designer Series Paper, Ignore the sideways hearts. When I cut the paper I was planning to make a horizontal card and completely forgot until I had all of the elements glued into place. I hoped it was far enough away that no one would notice the direction of the hearts on the display board.
