Betsy’s Blossoms, a new stamp set in the Stampin’ Up! 2012-2013 Catalog, will charm you with it’s modern style and unlimited possibilities. It’s available for purchase when the new catalog begins June 1. Plus, I have more new products to introduce you to today!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Breaking up the pieces of designer series paper (Floral District, available June 1) gives the design an interesting twist.
- The white space between the patterned paper pieces mimics the Whisper White 1/4″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon (also new June 1.)
- The Betsy’s Blossoms’ bird was stamped in both Rich Razzleberry and Lucky Limeade. I snipped the wings from the Lucky Limeade version and popped up the wing in the foreground on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Keep embellishments to a minimum when you are using a lot of a strong pattern. A single, coordinating Designer Printed Brad gives balance without overwhelming the design.
- Oops, I did it again . . . ‘cuz I love it! I really enjoy the look of a coordinating envelope and grabbed my Stampin’ Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool and Simply Scored Diagonal Plate to “whittle” an envie that will accommodate today’s 5″ x 5″ square card.
- Click to view my Simply Scored Envelope Measurement Chart. It offers the scoop on both this envelope and how to customize many other sizes.

Hi Mary,
Love the Color combo – shows off the little bird!
Nice portrait of you. I loved your tuquoise piece in your other shot. It was very flattering. Take care thanks for sharing.
thanks for all the kind words and for noticing the new pic. i’m still not 100% on this photo hanging around . . . the background may be a bit too busy (i worry about these things). however, i felt after 4 years of looking at my old mug (and my magically lighter hair), it was time to share the “current” me.
Another brilliant creation!!

Hello, Mary: First of all, LOVE your new picture. I’ve never saw your picture at your Madison house but I would love it if you were still there!! Remember back in 06, when I told you I was going to Madison to compete in the Iron Man?? and that I would have loved to visit? That was the year you said you were moving to Tucson.
Anyway, I love the new colors, I can’t wait till I get that catalog!!
