STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • SNEAK PEEK:  I used three of the four new Blendabilities Marker colors that will be available Jan. 6.  Wild Wasabi (chick), Pink Pirouette (bunny) and Bermuda Bay (bear).

  • SNEAK PEEK:  Instant WOW! factor.  Check out the Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers on each card.  They are designed to coordinate with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and 1/2″ Circle Punch.

  • Cool discovery!  I used the Hearts Border punch for a wee heart that works with the smallest epoxy heart sticker (bunny).

  • The finishing touch is the perfect sized envelope liner for the Stampin’ Up! 3 1/8″ Square Envelopes.  They were created using the Stampin’ Up! Envelope Liners Framelit Dies (3 sizes), Big Shot Machine and Magnetic Platform.  The liner dies are 25% off HERE through Monday, Dec. 15!

  1. As I mentioned on the video . . . I’m not a big fan of whimsical stamps. However, this said spoke to me. The images are like adorable illustrations, both fun and tasteful!

  2. My favorite critter is the bear! I love your comment about the striped shirts worn in the 1960s. My thank you so much for your video. I enjoy the tips that you give. When I first saw this stamp set I was not impressed, but after your video and tips, I am liking it more.

  3. I thought that was one set I didn’t need or like. But, you are such an enabler – I need this to make these adorable cards! The little bear is my favorite. Thanks for telling us it was a chickk – my imagination was not working on that one! But, best of all, thanks for the tip about placing the stamp on the diagonal. I just ran and tried it on something else and it was much easier to place inside the bubble with no distortion! I love 3×3 cards and that liner gets the most use! I had totally missed the epoxy stickers – they will be fun to use. thanks Mary!

  4. Hi Mary,
    Ever since I saw them, I loved them. I know I will be using this quite often and I am waiting for them to arrive this coming week. I really like how you did the small cards and I actually ordered the envelopes with something else in mind, but now this is quite cute and I will consider making these as well… Loved how you colored the hearts and stars too.

  5. P.S. I struggle with lining up sentiments on stamped images with the clear block. Awesome tip on putting the stamp on the block diagonally! I thought it was just me! Thanks again!!!

  6. Oh, I LOVE what you did with the Epoxy stickers! That really brought them to life with the card stock color!!! LOVE your video and that stamp set. It’s one of the first ones I picked out of the catalog. Thank you so much for sharing with us! I LOVE to learn!!!

  7. At first, I had no feeling towards this set but, after seeing your cards, I definitely have changed my mind. I think I like the bunny best but all of them would work for some kind of gift set. Thanks for all the sneak previews.

  8. It is a toss-up between the bunny and the bear, but I think my heart goes for the bunny! Thank you, Mary, for all of the Occasions & Sale-A-Bration previews! Also, thank you for always keeping us updated on what is up and coming with Stampin’ Up! Such as with the new blendabilities. Much appreciated! As you know, we customers don’t have the privilege of seeing things ahead of time normally, but thanks to you, we do!

  9. The bunny is precious, but when I see the bear I instantly think of my two grandsons. My heart goes to the bear.
    Thanks for the cute ideas!

  10. That bear is darn cute! I wasn’t impressed with it in the catalog, either. But seeing your card may just have changed my mind.

  11. You know, I was really not impressed with this set upon first viewing in the catalog but that bunny will make some really cute Easter cards! I didn’t know about the flexibility of use for the epoxy stickers. Thanks.
