New Catalog Inspirations, Part 1

I love when Stampin' Up! adds such gorgeous ideas for cards and projects to their catalog.  I've found inspiration from several examples in our new catalog.  The catalog goes live in a week now, so I hope you go ahead and get your copy now, so you can be studying it.  Today's card is actually using a stamp set that carried over to the new catalog.  I love the way they showed it.  Here's my take on it.

My color story:
- Pool Party
- Lemon Lime Twist
- Dapper Denim

I love this color story!  If you take a look at the 'labels' at the end of today's post, you will see that I used a lot of products.  This makes it easy to create a really nice design and a card that you'll love when it's all finished.

A Treat That's More Than A Treat

What can you put in a cute little mini treat bag besides a treat?  You can put a darling little card in it!  I confess that I've had this thinlit set for several months and didn't get around to playing with it until a few weeks ago.  Oh well... better late than never.  I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to make it and I can't wait to try making some more, using other DSP designs.

Because it was my first time making the little treat bag and because I thought the DSP was so stinkin' cute, I didn't even do anything extra to the treat bag.  When I make future treat bags, I will try out various ways to decorate them.  I used the star from the thinlit set to cut a window in the note card (after stamping the adorable stamp on the front) and then placed DSP behind the window.

There are a million ways to use this set of thinlits AND the You're So Sweet stamp set.  I've just barely gotten started:)
