Hello Stampers! Isn't this poodle just the cutest? This image comes from Stampin' Up!'s Birthday Delivery Designer Series Paper. What's really cool is that this pet poodle can be die cut from the paper with a die; no fussy cutting required! The same goes for a host of other images depicted in the paper. The Birthday Delivery stamp set includes a bunch of "characters" that can be stamped and cut with the dies, as well. So many possibilities and so cute -- especially for kids' birthday cards.

Hello Stampers! I hope you take the advice from this card created by Shelley McVey using Stampin' Up!'s Crafting Forever stamp set.

Shelley uses a number of elements from Stampin' Up!'s new Annual Catalog to put this card together, including the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Pak and the In Colors of Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, and Fresh Fig. Now, off to my craft room to create some cards for this week's class!

Hello Stampers! Wishing you and your family and friends a fun and safe Fourth of July. I've had the good fortune to spend the weekend with my sister and her sweetie in Durango, Colorado. I got the chance to meet my new "nephew," an eight-week old Boston Terrier. We also rafted down the Animas River, a first for me, and yesterday, we rented a pontoon for a cruise on Navajo Lake in northern New Mexico. It's been a great spending time with family and trying some new things. Back home in a day or two to gear up for Christmas in July stamp classes. Enjoy! Kim Meet Reggie! Navajo Lake, New Mexico
