Oh, will you look at this cute set!!! I have got to get some ink to rubber! This is the hostess set I picked for my pre-order and I have only inked the snowflakes to use on the journaling block of a 8? x 8? page I did in June. I need to get something substantial done with it!
Have a great weekend!
Cindy
Wow! These are all absolutely fabulous!
What fun and vibrant holiday cards! LOVE them all, Mary! Just beautiful! Hope we can hook up and say hi at the Convention SCS dinner! 🙂
These are all so great! Like Tiffany I’m having a hard time doing anything Christmas yet! Thanks for the inspiration though – may have to ink up these cuties!!
These are fabulous Mary! Love you color combo! {SMILES}
Mary, Your cards are just beautiful. So glad that you’re able to post when you’re in the middle of moving-madness. I so enjoy the way you balance simplicity with a vibrantly-colored composition. Keep posting, Jill
Love the Bermuda Bay and Ruby Red combo!
And I also wanted to add that I just was commenting yesterday this was my favorite new catalog item, and WOW there it is.
Thank you!!!
wait, is the Boho Blossom punch still available?
I will look and see.
I don’t think I had ever ordered that, and I wanted it. (Of course with the Boho Blossom set…)
Me likey!
I especially like the snowman card.
Very cute! I love your combination of ruby red with soft suede and bermuda bay.
Oh my word these are just gorgeous. I am so glad I got this stamp set, you have given me some awesome inspiration. I too am a punch maven, this is why I couldn?t resist this stamp set.
Eeee! SO cute! The snowman is my fave…I’m a sucker for the guys in white! 😉 Love this color combo, too–may have to use it for my Christmas cards!
Colors are fabulous! I’m ready to get stamping on my Christmas cards after seeing these!
Wow! So beautiful!
Yes, I am a punch maven (though I’ve never heard the word maven—have to look it up). I love the cards and the little extras that make them more! Thanks for sharing. Mary Jo
is there something in the catalog that you don’t own?
Those are beautiful ideas! 🙂
Beautiful and cute, as the case may be! Creativity par excellence! I love each of them.
Just too cute……great ideas!
Thanks for showing Christmas sample cards using the “In” colors.
Great Ideas Mary! As always you inspire me!
Great job. I may have to case some of these.
very cute!
This is one of the sets that made my wish list for this catalog. I love using punches for fast and easy cards. Mary you are the best!!!
Wow Lady, what you do with Stampt Sets. I see them in a whole new light. I cannot wait to get my hands on this set. Your the best. Hugs!
Beautiful! Thanks for the heads up on the Boho Blossoms punch matching the snowflakes. Makes this fun set even more loveable!
I almost have to agree with Tiffany on the Summer being so short. This year it has rained soooooo much here in RI. Only 5 days in June it didn’t rain! and so far July has been wet. Last weekend was beautiful. We are now back to rain. I am checking for the development of webbing between fingers and toes! But I am going to start my cards next week, even possibly this weekend!
Whoa! Someone was busy!
Love your color choices with these! I gotta get this set!
I LOVE this set, and you did a beautiful job with it.
Bought this set – so it’s revealed . . . I’m a punch maven too! Great showcase of what you can do with this set. One is just as beautiful as the next.
I can’t bring myself to make Christmas cards yet. Maybe in August. Summer goes by too fast.
