These little piggies are so cute! I had fun playing around creating cards with them.  

This first one even used up a scrap of Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper I had on my desk.  I love when that works out.  A little coloring with my Blends and this piggy is in her happy place! 

This one was an experiment.  With my Blends I added pink on top of the grey and at first I wasn't sure what I thought of it but it really looks like a dirty pig! 

I paper pieced the balloon for some added color. If you are a fan of animal sets this one needs to be in your collection.  

I hosted another Stampin' Game night last week and these are the cards we made. A few people joined over Zoom so the projects had to be ones that could be completed with stamps they had at home (no stamped images allowed in class packets per company policy). 

As you can see, the new Decorative Circle punch is amazing! Use it as a focal point, a backdrop or to stamp a sentiment on. You can't go wrong. This first card also features the Happy Forest Friends paper. 

The Sweetest Cherries Bundle was one of the game round prizes so I had to use it on one of the cards! This card could be used for so many occasions and I loved using the bright new In Colors. 

This card is our fun fold from the evening.  The middle section opens up to reveal your message. 

The Lasting Label punch is another one you need for your collection.  I paired it with the Design a Daydream Host Designer Series Paper Pack.  The patterns and colors are awesome in this huge (48 sheets) paper pack.

Also, make sure you don't overlook the Limited Edition stamp set.  Not only is it just what you need to meet the Angel Policy (if you sell your handmade cards that feature SU! products) but the great sayings like this one are a must for your collection! 

The final card used the beautiful Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper paired with the Uniquely Artistic stamp set. 

The new Solid Faceted Gems are my current favorite embellishment. Everyone who attended received a pack as their attendance prize. 

Which project is your favorite?  They are all different for sure! 

It's time for another Monday Montage.  I have to admit summer isn't even officially here but I feel like it's flying by.  The boys are out of school but one started his job and the other is off to camp so we are busy again. 

I'm still having fun playing with new products from the Annual Catalog. The Cottage Rose bundle is a favorite but one I've only used a couple of times so far. 

I always like the look of using colored pencils on colored card stock.  Here I stamped in Memento Black on Sahara Sand and colored with a white and Old Olive colored pencils. I cut out a number of die cuts on white, vellum and Old Olive card stock and tucked them behind my focal point.   

Don't miss the Stylish Shapes dies as well. I use them all the time! Add a big white twine bow and some rhinestones and it's complete.
