Yay!! Yesterday I got to play with my new Stampin’ Up! toys. What fun I had. *big grin* I was able to make three cards all of which are SUO (Stampin’ Up! Only).
The first card was made for Beate’s Inspiration Challenge #23. This room was the inspiration piece. And here is the card that I made for it.
I used two of my new stamp sets, “Nature Silhouettes” and “On Your Birthday”. I also used some of SU!’s new Designer Series Paper “Manchester”.

Now I couldn’t wait to use my new “Alpine” Ribbon Originals. Oh don’t you just love this chocolate chip felt ribbon complete with stitching.
I combined it with the new 1″ wide chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon. Two more new sets, “A Flower for All Seasons” and the beautiful Merry Christmas sentiment from “A Cardinal Christmas” were used. “Holiday Treasures” is some of the most beautiful designer paper… EVER!! Yup I used some of that, too.
The third card today uses the new set “Starring You”.
This card is made with the new In Color “Baja Breeze”. Wow I love this color! The designer paper is the new “Patterns”. The new 1-3/4″ circle punch was used for the black circle behind the main image/sentiment. The stars were stamped with SU!’s “Classic Backgrounds”. Although this is not a new set, it was the first time I have used it. To make the little star embellishment I stamped a single star on some whisper white card stock. Then I took the small star punch, centered the stamped star and punched it out.
Oh yay! It was a fun day!! Hope you get some stamping time in, too!!

Love the stripes and sentiment!! Love the red/pink houndstooth with the poinsettias too!! And the Baja Breeze/black….so striking!! Fabulous collection today!! WOW!!

But your cards are lovely!! Thanks for showing off all the new stuff! 😀
Wow! You’ve really been busy! I love those felt flowers on the first card, the ribbons on the second and the colors of the third!

Your inspiration card totally rocks, Susan!! Your other cards are so wonderful as well!! I know it can be really tough to keep it SU only with Dew Drops, Copics, Nesties, etc. out there. Good for you!!
Each one of these cards is a wonderful creation, Susan! Oh, heavens, I just love the first one. The colors and design just feel so GOOD to me!
Susan, all three of these cards are fantastic! Boy, you’ve been super busy! You really nailed Beate’s challenge, your card is gorgeous!
Oh, Rainy, three gorgeous cards! I really like the unique clolor combo on the first, how you did the brads, oh well, the whole thing. On the second is just plain elegant. The thrd is a great card for a special male. TFS
All three of these cards are so different, and they’re all great! I love the streamlined effect of the first one, the red and country feel to the second, and the masculine look of the last one. Bet you had a lot of fun creating them all. 😉
Awesome website..so glad I found it! Beautiful stuff!
