6. Big on You (p. 24). Big and bold sentiments are a hot trend and this stamp set evolves into a quick card a snap!
7. Crazy About You (p. 31). “Crazy about You!” Think of all the sentiment possibilities this enormous collection of sentiments offers. The flower images coordinate with the Stampin’ Up! flower medallion punch, 1 3/4 scallop circle punch. Save 15% when you bundle with the Hello You Thinlits Dies.
8. B.Y.O.P. (p. 33). Let’s face it. When giving gift cards, everyone is happy (and no returns hassles). B.Y.O.P. (“buy your own present”), is a charming way to deliver a gift card with a dash of panache.
9. Adventure Awaits stamp set (p. 41). Where the boys are! This set coordinates with Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack (very unique and trendy). Perfect for Father’s Day! Save 15% when you purchase Adventure Awaits and Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack as a bundle.
10. Sophisticated Serifs Photopolymer (p. 44). Before you say “whoa, Nellie” on the $45.95 price tag (remember it’s 65 stamps), think about the possibilities that will make this photopolymer (clear for easy placement) alphabet stamp set a tremendous value. Mix and match two sizes of letters to create words, whip up a stash of monogrammed note cards for quick thank yous or produce custom note card gift sets.
MY 5 FAVORITE PAPERCRAFTING TOOLS
1. Happy Heart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (p. 9). Simply delicious heart texture for Valentine’s Day or any excuse for “love.”
2. Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Die (p. 9). This set of Thinlits Dies is a Stampin’ Up! home run! It crops an easy-to-assemble mini treat bag a well as oodles of additional shapes and words to pop up and play with.
