One of the new stamp sets in the book is called Zoo Babies and it's super duper cute. It's perfect for decorating gifts, cards, tags and scrapbook pages.

Last month we had a Inky Divas Get-Together to celebrate one of our demonstrators who is moving from Ottawa to Newfoundland this week and of course, we can't have a gathering with some fun cards to make.

Here are the Inky Divas who attended this Good-Bye party for Marlayne. One of my favourite part of being a demonstrator is the wonderful ladies who have joined my Inky Divas team. There are so many wonderful ladies (and a few men) and they have truly blessed my life over the last 11 years.

Hi stampers! Today I thought I'd share with you a really fun VIDEO that was shared on the Stampin' Up! youtube channel. This adorable project was made by the very talented Sara Douglass. She shows us how to make the flower featured on page 25 of the catalogue using Creped filter paper!

1. Using Fun Flowers Bigz L Die, cut Creped Filter Paper (six layers for Tangerine Tango petals, and two layers for Daffodil Delight petals)
2. Load Brayer with ink from ink pad, roll color onto smooth side of creped paper. Repeat this step until desired color saturation is reached. May need to ink both sides of filter paper.
3. Layer flowers in staggered order.
4. Attach together with stapler or pierce center and use a brad.
5. Scrunch flowers from top down to get desired look.
6. Punch 3/4" circle from Old Olive Cardstock. Pierce center.
7. Prepare floral wire and thread through Old Olive Circle.
8. Attach to back of flower using hot glue.

Wasn't this project great…time to get your own creped filter paper!!!!

At my big events like MEGA STAMP DAY, the demonstrators bring their card ideas to share. Today I thought I'd share one of the cute cards shared by Janet Sanii.

It's hard to see from the picture, but, Janet used the Simply Scored Tool to add score marks to the edges of the Whisper White Cardstock. The greeting comes from the Lacy & Lovely stamp set, you can get this set is wood OR clear and I love the font of the greetings in it!

For the butterflies, she used the Bitty Butterfly Punch in 4 of our new In Colors.

Did you know that you can see all the products for our IN COLORS HERE in the online store?!

To finish off the butterflies, Janet used our Rhinestone Jewels to add that final touch of bling!
