Happy Monday! Today, I wanted to share a video tutorial on putting together a little gift set using the retiring Stampin' Up! set, Have a Seat (wood, clear) seen HERE as posted last week.
Simple, fun, and functional...the Stampin' Up! way! Can be masculine or feminine! Enjoy and let me know if you have questions! Need a New Stampin' Up! Catalog FREE? ...Call me! 409-719-2853...Lisa
Father's Day will be here before you know it and this card made with Stampin' Up!'s retiring Mocha Morning Specialty Paper<--while supplies last... and Autumn Splendor stamp set make a masculine combination.
"Dad" is stamped with the Broadsheet Alphabet (wood, clear)stamp set and Soft Suede Classic was the ink color of choice for this card.

OK...yes, I DO LOVE paper crafting. But, the ease of digital scrapbooking with My Digital Studio has me "hooked"! ...pun intended :) since the photos above were taken at Bass Pro Shop!
So, it's like this. I always have my camera (iPhone) with me so there is never an excuse to not capture the moment. Once at my computer, I can pull up My Digital Studio, pop in the pics, add a few embellishments and brush stamps...done. Then, the big decision is whether to have the pages printed or to preserve in total digital format. Either way, it's completed in a few steps. Love it!
Now, am I totally abandoning my tradtional scrapbooking with paper, embellishments, buttons, etc.?
No way!
But, I have an option and that is awesome!
If you haven't taken the leap yet and tried the digital scene...you can do so, risk free for 30 days. Find out how here!
See what a new MY DIGITAL STUDIO crafter has to say about using this digital software!
I have to admit that each year when Stampin' Up! reveals the new In Colors, my reaction is ..."oh, ok,hmm..." But, this year, I've already fallen in love with the new colors! I guess my best way to describe them is regal and rich. {The Regals are my favorite color collection. :)}
To give you a little peek, I've created some simple little note cards in each color with some side by side comparisons.
First...
It's a rich, dusty pink (center heart and base) with a Rose Red heart on the left and Regal Rose heart on the right.
Next...
This color has a fun lemon-lime feel! The heart on the left is Lucky Limeade; on the right, Daffodil Delight.
And now on to...
A deep, dark raspberry!...Here with Cherry Cobbler on the left and Melon Mambo on the right.
Here's a fun one!...
I love this green! Here it is flanked by Garden Green on the left ans Wild Wasabi on the right.
Last, but not least...
Beautiful, bold blue! See how it compares to Night of Navy on the left and Not Quite Navy on the right.
Get ready for these colors to steal the show in designer papers...all I can say is "wow"!
Do you see one here that you can't wait to use on a project? Leave a comment here and let us know your favorite!
The welcoming charm of the images in Stampin' Up!'s Have A Seat make it quick and easy to put a little thank you note together. As you can see here, I couldn't stop with just one! So I decided to make a little set of four to give as a gift.
Have a Seat (wood, clear) is one of the many retiring sets that will no longer be available from Stampin' Up! after May 31, 2012. I have to admit, this is one I'll hold on to...it's just fun for any kind of note.
Check back on Monday for a video tutorial to see how to create an easy envelope for these little note cards. Tomorrow, I'll have a sneak peek of the NEW 2012-2014 In Colors!
See you then!

Stampin' Up! Upsy Daisy is a perfect set for this watercolor look technique in today's video tutorial. I had to dust off my Watercolor Crayons and after making this card...can you say "perfect for Mother's Day?...I refreshed my memory on how much I really love to use these!

Good Monday to everyone! Today I'm sharing a really beautiful Stampin' Up! set that will be retiring at the end of this month, Vintage Vogue I also had a few Beau Chateau Side Notes and Designer Paper that added a special touch to this friends card.
