Happy New Year! I wish you much happiness in 2013 and a fresh start on all your resolutions (new and old)! My Stampin’ Pretty resolution is to find time to do more “1 Minute to WOW!” videos. Do you have a paper crafting resolution? Perhaps you’ll mail more of those pretty handmade cards in your stash? Leave me a comment below. I would love to hear!
Today’s masculine birthday card uses a Sale-A-Bration stamp set called “Feeling Sentimental.” The set will be available FREE with a $50 product order during the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration Promotion (Jan. 22 – March 22).
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- NEW! The vintage bicycle image (Feeling Sentimental stamp set) comes to life when heat embossed with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Emboss Powder.
- Three Cherry Cobbler Brads (Regals Assortment) line up to accentuate the corner.
- NEW! Stampin’ Up! will be introducing a Stampin’ Distress Tool in the Spring Catalog (begins Jan. 3). It helped me rough up the edges for a “worn” look in a snap!
- NEW! That snazzy snippet of patterned Crumb Cake Designer Series Paper is from the Stampin’ Up! Spring Catalog’s Parker’s Patterns Designer Series Paper (available Jan. 3). It’s an excellent candidate for masculine cards and beyond!
- Clean and simple (CAS) meets vintage! I sponged More Mustard Ink on the edges of my layers (even the designer series paper) to give it a vintage finish in seconds. Thanks, Ann Schach, for the suggestion!

My goal is to have balance in my life…spiritual, physical, mental….stampin up products provide the creativity that adds to my joy….Take Joy as Tasha Tudor would say
I wasn’t sure how I felt about this stamp set Mary, but as usual, seeing what you did with it, made me certain that I too need this stamp set! Great color combo too!
pretty card. love the bright colors, yet vintage feel! my stamping resolution is to actually USE the stamping stuff I buy and stop “collecting” it. 🙂
My resolution is to increase the size of my stash.
I do so love making cards and sharing them with family and friends.
Happy New Year! Will look forward to more of your great 1 minute tutorials!

My resolution is to take time to really enjoy the art of stamping and scrapbooking on a weekly basis by putting it on my calendar…like a date with my craft room.
My resolution is to have an organized craft room so Incan enjoy paper crafting more! I plan to do one small job in my room each day to help keep it organized! Thanks for sharing all your great cards!
Happy New Year! Thank you Mary for a wonderful year of inspiration. 2012 ended with a cleaner craft room. I donated a paper stash to a fellow stampers classroom and put everything in it’s proper place. My goals for 2013 are to use what I have collected, share more and just enjoy!
As a new person to stamping. For 2013 I want to learn more and. Be able to share more cards with friends and loved ones. Also to he able to share with my church family as they send cards to shut ins, missionaries, and men/women who are in the military serving our country.
Thanks for sharing

WHAT!!?? Do I see distressing and sponging? I think this MUST be a new year! I love this effect, Mary! My resolution is to talk about SU more and increase my business….as well as use up some of my stash!
Happy New Year!
Hi Mary,
For this new year, I resolve to use more the pretty embellishments, I have stashed away!! I don’t know why I don’t use them more, I love them all (I think I’m hoarding them just to look at them)…I need to share them with my card recipients!!
Thanks for all you do to help inspire us all!
Have a blessed New Year!
Jill
