SU! MDS ANNIVERSARY CARD

Here is my Anniversary Card to Bill - 
It's a SU! MDS original commemorating our recent trip to Marco Island.

 

20 YEARS AGO TODAY!

My sweetheart and I said I do 20 years ago today.  I remember it as if it were yesterday.  Wow!  20 years!  It's amazing - same man, same love, same big ideas!  What will the future hold for us?

Happy Anniversary Bill!

SU! DIVA DAY PROJECTS ARE SO COOL!

I earned DIVA DAY from my upline Janet Wakeland.  One of the perks of DIVA is to be able to go to her STAMPWORLD and have almost free reign of her stamp room.  It's so cool to be able to go when there is lots of NEW SU! out!  Janet usually has some DIVA projects and then we have playtime.  These 2 projects were designed by Janet for the DIVA's.  So cool!

This is a really neat GIFT CARD holder.  We used the BRAND NEW SU! DIE for the BIG SHOT OVAL ACCENT BIGZ CLEAR!, the TOP NOTE Die and the NEW DSP called COMFORT CAFE.  The colors are so rich!  We also used the NEW CLEAR FACETED BUTTONS by SU!  They look like glass!  They are awesome!

Here;s the inside of the card.  We used the new Layered Labels framelits for the inside to hold the gift card.  I really love this idea.  I need to give some gift cards now that it is the end of the school year, so this is a great way to present them.

This next card uses the NEW TINY BANNER FRAMELITS for the BIG SHOT for SU!  These are so adorable.  I could die cut these all day and just make tons and tons of cards and gifts with these. They are just too cute.  I think Janet said that she saw this idea on PINTEREST.  Are you following me on Pinterest?  There's a link up in the above right hand corner.  I have tons more ideas to share with you there.

I love the use of the SU! BAKER's TWINE also.  The rich razzleberry button is adorable too.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON - THE ORIGIN

In the post earlier today, Lisa Chatterjee designed a KEEP CALM card.  This is one of SU!'s NEW HOSTESS SETS that you will be able to earn for FREE from SU! starting June 1st.  Here's a GREAT VIDEO sharing the origin of the KEEP CALM message.  ENJOY!  And Keep calm!

NEW SU! CARDS BY LISA CHATTERJEE

My dear friend Lisa Chatterjee made these BRAND NEW SU! cards using BRAND NEW SU! stamp sets and papers and colors.  These are just gorgeous!  This first card is called WORLD TREASURES.  I love this peacock.  Lisa did an amazing job coloring it in and dazzling it with SU! dazzling diamonds glitter.  Certainly Lisa is a faithful friend and a treasure.

 This is the inside of the card.  Do you recognize the NEW SU! IN COLORS?

Lisa also made this card using the new tiny banner framelits everyone has been talking about and also used the NEW SU! HOSTESS stamp set CARRY ON.  I know this stamp set is going to be coveted by a lot of you out there. This is one of the hottest sayings out there right now!  Keep Calm! I love that sentiment!  How many phrases can you think of that go with the Keep Calm phrase?

Gorgeous cards Lisa.  Thanks so much!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

CHOCK-FULL OF CHEER - SNEAK PEEK SU! CHRISTMAS

Here's a NEW card design using NEW SU! designer paper - BE OF GOOD CHEER - and a BRAND NEW SU! IN COLOR - GUMBALL GREEN.  I used a BRAND NEW SU! set called CHOCK-FULL of CHEER, which will be out in a few short days (June 1st, to be exact).  I made this card at SU! DIVA DAY at Janet Wakeland's home this past Saturday.  My dear friends Lisa Chatterjee and Sandi Haertig accompanied me to this great day where we got to use so many BRAND NEW STAMP sets, papers, embellishments, ink colors and more.

I really love the mittens and I colored them with the NEW GUMBALL GREEN ink  as well as Cherry cobbler color.  The Merry Christmas sentiment is also a part of the stamp set.  If you look closely at the white ornament behind the mittens, we have a BRAND NEW SU! EMBOSSING FOLDER coming out June 1st also!  Whoo hoo!  It's exciting!  It's like Christmas!  That's why I decided to make a sneak peek Christmas card and I love the results!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

Today is my dad's birthday.  We are wishing him a really happy one!

LAYERED LABELS CARDS USING NEW SU! IN COLORS

I used the NEW IN COLORS for 2012-14 on these cards.  These are samples that we made at SU! DIVA DAY at Janet Wakeland's home last Saturday.  I love the NEW colors and the ribbons that coordinate are just too cool.

MIDNIGHT MUSE.

GUMBALL GREEN.

SUMMER STARFRUIT

RASPBERRY RIPPLE.  Notice the faceted clear button - BRAND NEW from SU!

 PRIMROSE PETALS

MARCO ISLAND - NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT

Lucky us!  We are vacationing in Marco Island Florida this year.  This is where we are headed.  Can't wait!

Yes, the water is this blue and it's this clear.  This is truly an island paradise.

Here are some more photos of this island paradise.

 Some of the BEST SUNSETS in the world are seen on the beach at Marco Island.

 I love walking along the beach at sunset.

Isn't this just gorgeous?

This is one of 2 amazing resort pools.

This is the other.  There is a huge waterfall off to the right toward the back and then the GULF OF MEXICO is just behind the pool.  The waters are pretty calm so you can wade in the water for hours, and of course that is what we shall do.

CIRCLE CIRCUS-MEET THE NEW SU! 2012-14 IN COLORS

SU! has announced a BRAND NEW SET of IN COLORS for 2012-14.  They are really awesome colors and I'm so excited to have my hot little hands all over them to create.  Here's a GET WELL SOON card I mailed off to my sister.  I used the stamp set CIRCLE CIRCUS.

I LOVE these NEW IN COLORS.  They are SUMMER STARFRUIT, PRIMROSE PETALS, GUMBALL GREEN,  MIDNIGHT MUSE AND RASPBERRY RIPPLE.

They are really cool colors.  The GET WELL SOON sentiment is really a cool font stamp from the DELIGHTFUL DOZEN stamp set.

Here's the envelope that goes with this card.

This past weekend we were able to sample the NEW COLORS and make a book mark using the NEW SU! HOSTESS SET CARRY ON.  It's got some cool sentiments that really go along with the current times.

And here's the back side where we get to see how the cardstock and ink colors compare.

Just click on any photo to see the design a little closer.  These colors are so cool and trendy.  I am really happy stamping with them.

Way to go Stampin Up!  Look for more with these NEW IN COLORS now and when the NEW IDEA book goes LIVE on June 1st!

MAKE AND TAKES FROM THE REMARKABLE MEETING

Here are the SU! make and takes from the REMARKABLE team meeting Saturday.  We used BRAND NEW SU! papers, embellishments and papers coming out June 1st.  Thanks Janet Wakeland our leader, for sharing her stash with us!  She received a lot of the NEW SU! on the SU! incentive trip to Disney this past April.

I love the NEW little BANNER framelits SU! has.  We used a few of these on our make and takes.  Also there are some NEW FACETED CLEAR BUTTONS coming out.  You can't see all the facets on the button above, but let me tell you they are so cool and they look like glass!   This stamp set is called WORLD TREASURES. 

Here's another banner - congratulations!  This would make a great wedding card or anniversary card, or even a graduation card.  Lots of uses!  I love this bird.  Do you see the tiny pearl in her eye?  The roses are just gorgeous.  We used IN COLORS on this card, SUMMER STARFRUIT, PRIMROSE PETALS and MIDNIGHT MUSE.  The names are so cool, don't you think?  This stamp set is called PAPAYA COLLAGE.

This card uses a BRAND NEW EMBOSSING FOLDER by SU! for the BIG SHOT called FANCY FAN FOLDER.  I love it.  I used it earlier in the week on the other CHRISTMAS CARD I made.  The flourished FRAME is a NEW FRAMELIT that coordinates with the LAYERED LABELS stamp set.  OMG!  So many BRAND NEW cool things to play with!

Here's a style card I haven't done in awhile.  The fold is moved over a little bit to the right and partially embossed.  I haven't made this style card in some time so it was fun to try it again.  I really like this card because it showcases one of my favorite NEW DESIGNER PAPERS called FLORAL DISTRICT.  The Get well soon sentiment is from DELIGHTFUL DOZEN and the cute little umbrella is from a BRAND NEW HOSTESS set called CARRY ON!

This last card uses the NEW stamp set EVERYTHING ELEANOR which I have uses a bit in the past week on different samples.  This one is really simple and elegant.  I added a rose pearl to the center.

We also made a NEW SU! IN COLOR bookmark that you will see tomorrow.
