Peggy Noe Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator
This card was inspired by a friend of mine, Lynn Hoyt, a fellow Pal. It uses this delicate doily stamp from the new Happy Day stamp set. Isn’t it a sweet stamp? As Lynn did, I stamped it repeatedly in our new 2013-15 In Colors which will be premiering May 31st! Aren’t they pretty?
A little Thank You from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set adds the greeting.
Hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend! Get ready for our big Catalog Debut next Friday the 31st of May!
Oh Boy! What do you think of this brand new stamp set? It’s called Happy Day and it’s in the new catalog – AND, it will be available in 8 days!! So far, this is my new favorite stamp set!
You’re seeing today just one of the six gorgeous stamps in this set. I’ll be showing more of the stamps in the next week, but all I can say is — put this at the top of your wish list!!
AND—what do you think of the black polka dot paper? It’s part of an amazing new designer series paper called Modern Medley. Here it’s paired with Summer Starfruit card stock which contrasts beautifully with the black and cream (Very Vanilla).
Pretty Pointer: Simple is sometimes better. On this card I could have added more embellishments but it really makes a statement just as it is. Try it every so often!

It’s so kind of you to stop by! I’ve been wanting to use these colors together, so today was the day to play. Summer Starfruit and Basic Grey play off one another and make the white really stand out. Geometric shapes are super popular right now, but I had to give them a feminine edge
Delicate Details Lace Tape lines the bottom of the card and really contrasts with the hexagon shapes. It’s fun to use this tape — it’s sticky and goes on very easily. I cut out one of the little circles and put it under the butterfly at the top left. Very versatile stuff! Give it a try – just click on the photo below.
That little butterfly and the two lower hexagons are from the This and That Designer Series Paper. It really blends perfectly with my theme colors. I love to have a color theme for my cards.

Know anyone going on a trip? This would be the perfect card! I have a friend who is leaving for an amazing trip overseas, and I want to give her a special card to send her off. The Fan Fair Designer Series Paper is perfect for this occasion. Even the pretty blue script on the small panel is part of this versatile paper. Unfortunately, I just checked the retired list and apparently it’s sold out! Yikes! I’m so glad I had a bit of it to use for my card.

Thank you for joining us for the May Pals Blog Hop and our annual retirement party! It’s time to say goodbye to stamps and accessories that will not be available in the new 2013-14 Stampin’ Up!catalog.

So enjoy the farewell tour for our favorite retiring products – and remember you have until June 3rd to order from the retiring product lists.

We can’t have a retirement party without including Elements of Style! This has been one of my favorite stamp sets! It has a beautiful flowery background stamp that I’ve used so many times. For today’s card I stamped the background stamp onto the First Edition Designer Series Paper, to also pay tribute to the retirement of this very neat paper. (I’ve tried to pack in as many retiring items as possible!). The gorgeous hummingbird is also part of Elements of Style. Here it’s been inked up with a Raspberry Ripple Stampin’ Write Marker.
Also wanted to highlight another stamp set that I’ve loved: French Foliage. This set has the cutest little water droplet stamp – I just love it! So I stamped it on the Very Vanilla banner with the flagged end.
The leaves are made with the Little Leaves Sizzlits die. They ARE staying around But the card stock I used is being retired. It’s Lucky Limeade and it’s been a great color. Just had to use it on this card.
Be sure to order any of these retiring items by June 3rd. Here’s a list of the supplies used on this card:

A dear friend of mine is having her first grandson this week. We are all waiting for that call that the baby has been born! It’s a very exciting time, and I want to have a card ready right when the baby arrives!
I’ve seen these darling little baby carriages on cards, but never made one myself. Well I found out it’s very easy! The Oval Framelits work perfectly for the carriage. The tea lace doily just adds that sweetness of a newborn…
The colors are modern and fresh. And the Oh, Baby stamp from the Ciao Baby stamp set adds a little smile
