Sending Love

Wow, On this one card I actually used a lot of my new items along with some I already had.  But I must say that Stampin' Up! has really went out of their way to introduce some great new items for this mini and sale-a-bration.  What a great way to start a new year!  I used the sketch from MOJO Monday to get myself started this morning and this is what I came up with.  I knew I wanted to use the new specialty designer series paper that premiers in the new mini and will be available on January 5th.  It is called Sending Love and is SPARKLY and SHIMMERY.  I just love it.  I actually cut out the flower behind the saying from one of the sheets.  Also new is the satin ribbon, Pretty in Pink.  Then I used a stamp set that is in the sale-a-bration, Whimsical Words, and yes this stamp set is free with a $50 order and you have the choice of getting it in the clear block stamps (which is new) or Stampin' Up!s regular stamps.  I used the clear block and I just love them.  It is so nice to know where you will be stampin.  And, as you can see, I used the new border punch that is in the mini to cut out the heart border.  I know you are going to love the new design of the punches.  They are so easy to use and the line up is great.  The 3 hearts were punched out by a punch that is in the idea book and catalog called heart to heart.  I just thought it went so well with the saying.  I also did the inside of the card with a new stamp set and an older one.  The new is called Vintage Vogue (in new mini) and the saying came from one of my favorite stamp sets, God's blessings.  Thanks so much for looking and hope you have a great day.  Come back tomorrow and I will share more with you.
