Can it really be time to be thinking about the holidays? For those who like to get a head start, Stampin’ Up! has adjusted their holiday catalog schedule this year in your favor! The holiday catalog customer sales period begins August 1, a month earlier than in previous years. While we wait for the catalog to begin, it’s my job to show off the new products (one of the pleasures of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator) with lots of fun samples . . . starting with today’s clean and simple (CAS) card!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Meet Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper. It salutes harvest time with fresh and fun patterns. Colors include Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Island Indigo, More Mustard, Lucky Limeade and Raspberry Ripple. I discovered that Sahara Sand (my card base and card stock for the pear) coordinates pretty nicely, too.
- The pear stamp and little stem are from the new Perfectly Preserved stamp set. They were cropped with the Cannery Set Framelits Dies (also new) that coordinate with the stamps. So quick and crisp!
- The Sahara Sand card base is 4 3/4″ x 3 3/4″. The strip for the sentiment measures 5 1/2″ long and allows the card to fit in a standard (A2) envelope.

I’m so glad I joined your site, I so look forward to your beautiful cards. My niece has been in touch with you, she also owns a Pug. You’re not to early to think about fall, in my store (Michaels) we have Christmas out!!!
thanks for the nice feedback about my new “do” and photo 🙂 Erica . . . yes, i cut the card down to a smaller size and the banner goes the “distance” to fit in an A2 envelope. hugs, m
Beautiful card…I have a question about the size. Are you cutting the card down so that with the banner you will still be able to fit it into an A2 sz. envie, or are you folding the banner under the card base?
Thanks.
So pretty! Love this one! I hadn’t looked at those papers twice, but now I’m thinking I might want to select this as one of my free paper packs for recruiting! It’s so pretty!
Once again, a beautiful and simple card from my fav artist! I do love fall colors and papers. BTW…love your new B&W picture of you.
I love all of your cards Mary! You’re my first stop in the mornings, each and every morning with my cup of coffee!! I absolutely love this new picture of you! I love the Black & White along with the softness it brings to you, the image! So far it’s my favorite! Have a Fantastic Friday! 🙂

Ok I’m sold, I need that paper NOW! I love autumn (even though I live in Florida where we don’t have the autumn beauty), autumn colors, autumn smells…and this paper screams autumn. It’s at the top of my list even before I’ve seen the catalog.
