Hello there! It's kind of a fun week around here! There's so much going on...giveaways, coupons, new products...you name it, it's going on here this week. :-)
First off, I have a winner for the Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstock giveaway. Judy was the lucky winner...
This new card stock looks fabulous and as I am starting my retirement on July 1 I Plan to make more cards than ever and would like to have this new Bazzill product to work with. Appreciate the chance to win this!

Judy, congrats on your upcoming retirement! I sent you an email. :-)
For my project today, my fellow Go-to Gals and I are helping to introduce some products from the brand new Stampin' Up! catalog! Stampin' Up always has such classy products and the latest release is no exception.
For my cards today, I played around with a new paper collection called Comfort Cafe. The colors are so rich and warm and homey.
I fussy-cut that pretty floral vine from a piece of patterned paper. The "thanks" sentiment was stamped with the Morning Post Alphabet.
My second card is a quick and easy Father's day card using the same set of product...Comfort Cafe papers and the Morning Post alphabet.
I love how this paper collection can go both feminine or masculine, depending on which prints you choose...there's a great assortment. I'm really loving that trendy chevron print! The pretty background woodgrain cardstock is from the Natural Composition cardstock collection.
Thanks for stopping by today and a big thank you to Stampin' Up! for letting me play with some of their new goodies. Now be sure to swing by my fellow Go-to Gals to see what they've cooked up using items from the new Stampin' Up! catalog!
(Jennifer McGuire's not playing today, seeing as she is rather occupied with her very new, very sweet little baby girl!)

I found out about SU through Papercrafts Magazine years age. Imagine my frustration not being able to buy anything because of living in The Netherlands. Luckily there are ways to buy now it and I just ordered some goodies from the new catalog. That alphabet is on my wishlist.

Great cards Betsy!! Love those new letter stamps and all the paper is awesome. I never think to cut out patterned paper - I need to start doing that. Thanks for the inspiration

OK, WOW! I love alphabets and I have a gazillion and I was considering this one and boy am I leaning in now! And your fussy cutting is incredible! I love the DAD card too - perfect marriage of papers, colors, and stamps.

Beautiful cards, Betsy!
I was staring at the first one for a long time, trying to figure out how you stamped the flowers.... and then I realized you cut them from patterned paper!
