Snuggles and Smooches for Him and Her

Sometimes it's hard to get a touchy-feely look for both guys and gals with the same stamp set, without it looking effeminate, but I think Snuggles and Smooches does the trick. All I did was switch out the color palette, and it was a done deal.

And I LOVE how the big heart coordinates with the Sweetheart Punch, and the medium one coordinates with the the heart in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack--brings everything together so fast! Although this set was released just before Valentine's Day, it makes sweet cards for your cutie pies, any time of year! Check out all the images in the set:

The Snuggles and Smooches stamp set is available only in photopolymer (fabulous for easy image layering), so make sure you've got some Clear Blocks to use with it.

Stampin' Supplies: Snuggles and Smooches stamp set, Whisper White card stock, Tempting Turquoise ink pad & card stock, Soft Sky ink pad & card stock, Island Indigo ink pad, Melon Mambo ink pad & card stock, Pink Pirouette ink pad & card stock, Rose Red ink pad, Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Sweetheart Punch, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.

Guy Greetings: Happy Birthday Like a Sir!

When the Guy Greetings stamp set meets the Mustache Die, the monocle comes out...and I imagine if this card could talk, it would also have a stuffy British accent... (Note: the Mustache Die is retiring, and currently 50% OFF, so get yours NOW. If it doesn't come up when you click that link, it could be sold out already, sorry!)

I didn't even know this was a thing, but when I showed my daughter this card, she texted me back and said, "Like a Sir!". I thought she was just being naturally clever, but apparently she'd had a little help from the interwebs. "Like a Sir" comes from a meme I somehow missed, probably because I don't spend my life on tumblr. Hilariously enough, I made this card for my son...who plays Minecraft...and I found THIS "Like a Sir" parody when I was looking up the meme. So, for the inside of this card, I'll now have to write "Celebrate Like a Sir!". Ahhhh, synchronicity.

Stampin' Supplies: Guy Greetings stamp set, Mustache Die, Typeset Designer Series Paper, Vellum Cardstock, Basic Black Cardstock, Very Vanilla Cardstock, Transfer Adhesive Sheets (to attach vellum), Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad (of course, because a sir wears a tuxedo!), Ornate Tag Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, 1" Circle Punch, 1/8" Basic Black Tafetta Ribbon (different from the one shown), 1/8" Gold Ribbon, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals.

By the way, the mustache and monocle design was not my original idea. It was shared by a fellow demonstrator, on a demonstrators-only gallery called Stampin' Connection, which is hosted by Stampin' Up!. Just another of the exclusive perks you can enjoy when you Become a Demonstrator!

Stampin' Up!'s Butterflies Have Landed with a SPECIAL OFFER!

These pretties went on back order a long time ago, and then all the dock strikes happened, and the item number was pulled and unavailable for ordering. Sad face. Very sad face. But now, THEY'RE BACK!!! Not just coming, but HERE, and available for order!!! To celebrate, Stampin' Up! is offering two very special,
SPECIAL OFFERS, through April 30, 2015:

Order the Butterflies Thinlits Dies (shown above) at 15% OFF!!!

Order any Butterfly Basics Bundle* (already 15% OFF) and choose one
FREE item from the selection below:

Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (item 138633)
Best Year Ever Accessory Pack (item 138634)
Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper (item 138635)

*The Bundles include the stamp set in your choice of wood-mount, clear-mount, or photopolymer (in English, French, or Spanish), and the coordinating
Butterflies Thinlits Dies.

Just for reference, the two larger dies stand alone, but the smallest butterfly die coordinates with the butterfly image in the stamp set, to make a perfect cut-out. There is also a smaller butterfly in the stamp set that can be punched out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch. The circular date image can be punched out with the 3/4" Circle Punch, and the tiny solid flower image is perfectly framed by the round label in the Little Labels Punch Pack. And on a final note, if you ARE getting the coordinating stamp set, I recommend photopolymer for this one, because it makes layering the images SO much easier!
