Because I Care...

I have NOT had much time for stamping these days! And WHY?! you might ask?! Well because I have been ORGANIZING my craft room and making room for NEW colors, NEW stamps, NEW cardstocks and paper and NEW accessories!!!!! Seriously...the new catalog is AMAZING and I can't wait to show you! As demo's...we can pre-order a selection of items before July...and so I have the new colors in my hands now. :) And "Because I Care" about you...I made a card today using some NEW colors! :) Here you go...

I used all five of the new core colors (Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, and Early Espresso) and I LOVE them! I also used my new Crumb Cake (formerly Kraft) ink pad to do some sponging. I had a TON of fun with this card! Here are some close-up's...The background was embossing with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and Big Shot. Then I used the Bitty Buttons, the Itty Bitty Bits stamp set, and the Punch Pack...all from the Summer Mini catalog. Then HOW TO DIE FOR is that Marina Mist 1/8" taffeta ribbon. I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!!!! Seriously...it's SO WONDERFUL!!! (Can you tell I am SO EXCITED?!??! :) ) Anyway...one more side close-up... I popped that last layer up on dimensionals. Oh...and the "Because I Care" sentiment is from a NEW hostess stamp set! :)

Thanks for visiting! I hope you enjoy!!!
