Stampin' Smiles,
Alphabet stamp sets are such a good thing! Stamp whatever you want to say in any color you want to use. Talk about versatility.
My "so tweet" pages use the Cheep Talk stamp set and Schoolbook Serif Alphabet stamp set. I just love when a stamp image other than a letter can be used in place of a letter. The flower from Cheep Talk was stamped in Pumpkin Pie and a Tempting Turquoise button from the Fresh Favorites I button assortment was added to the center. Aw, so tweet.
A couple of little touches to take this for ordinary to special are the fishtail ends on the title, the cut-out and popped out birds, and something new, I used the perforating blade on the Cutter Kit to do a scrolling border around the edge. It is subtle and pretty.
My colors are Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green and Whisper White. Can't say I have ever used that color combination before, but I like it.

Stampin' Up! had a 3" x 3" Circle Circus card sample in one of the demonstrator only Stampin' Success magazines using this basic design. Adapting it to a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card was a breeze. What a bright and cheery card. Who wouldn't love to get this in the mail?
The colors are Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White. The large flowery circle was punched out with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch. I used my Circle Scissor Plus to cut out a circle to layer on. The Pumpkin Pie circle was made with the 1" Circle Punch.
A Silver Brad and a bit of Pumpkin Pie Striped Grosgrain Ribbon gave the card the finishing touches.
You can order Circle Circus and the In Colors online now by following the link www.stampinsmiles.stampinup.net!

Stampin' Smiles,
Well, I moved on from my Christmas in July cards before I was done. It dawned on me when I posted the video using the Stampin' Up! Branch Out stamp set yesterday. I had forgotten to post my Branch Out Christmas card! It is one of my favorites.
My stampers all hesitated thinking this was too hard. But, it is so simple! I stamped the tree in Soft Suede, made a mask for the pun with a piece of card stock punched with the 1-1/4" Circle Punch and then sponged Brocade Blue Classic ink all over. Hint: I did not pounce with my 1/4 Stamping Sponge, but instead rubbed the ink into the card stock. It allows me to get great, full coverage that is not spotty.
The bird was stamped in Real Red Classic ink after the sponging was done. This was to make sure my bird was in the moonlight.
The White Gel Pen is the extra little something I write about so often. Don't you just love the snow on the branch tips and on the tire swing?
The Merry Christmas greeting at the bottom is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and also stamped in Soft Suede. Now, wasn't that a lot easier than you thought too?
The Branch Out stamp set is on the Stampin' Up! Dormant List. That means it is not pictured in the 2009-2010 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog but is available to purchase through my online ordering website www.stampinsmiles.stampinup.net. Go there now to order this great stamp set! If you don't, you will forget about it because it isn't in the book. You know the saying, out of sight, out of mind.
Stampin' Smiles,
Branch Out is a great stamp set that was only pictured in the Spring-Summer 2009 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. While you will not find it in the Stampin' Up! 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog, it is still available for purchase until June 30, 2009.
Enjoy the video! Nothing earth shattering technique wise; it just made for a pretty August CD calendar.
