Stamping 1, 2, 3
Today’s cards are all about the matter of breaking into my new SU! colors and Razzleberry Lemonade paper, using a stamp set that hasn’t seen the light of day for a while, and getting a wedding card done in the process. I put together some layouts hoping to make good use of the paper and stamps, and used one main image on the first card, a pair of images on the second, and a group of three on the last card — hence, Stamping 1, 2, 3.
These cards really didn’t take long to make since the stamping is so simple with the solid images. I’m going to need to learn how to stamp more quickly or make simpler cards. You see… I have a new man in my life and he’s a sweetheart. He will require some attention, though. More about that soon…
But first… this is a wedding card. I thought I’d do something young at heart for the young couple. It may not be the type of wedding card I’d ordinarily make but, after all, it’s for them, not for me. The stamp set on all three cards is Priceless. The sentiment on the wedding card is from the retired set, Happy Harmony. Colors are Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo.
There’s more of the same colors and papers on this card, but with the addition of Rich Razzleberry for the flowers and card base. The sentiment is from the Smarty Pants set:
The third card uses some of the more muted papers from the collection, as well as Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie ink in addition to the Rich Razzleberry. Cards 2 & 3 were made with easy mailing in mind. They’re not too lumpy, and will require no extra postage to mail. They’ll go into my little “cards for sale” basket at work.
Well, that was fun! At least it was for me… I hope you enjoyed it, too. See you again soon!

The wedding card and the butterflies card is beautiful!
Fabulous cards. I love the new colors- of course I ALWAYS love the new colors, even the ones some people don’t like at all. I bought a sample package of cardstock and have nearly used it all. I’m particularly fond of the Soft Suede. Soooo, you have piqued my curiosity – does the new man in your life have 4 legs?
Leslie, I love all of these cards. You are so clever putting simple themes and great DP’s and colors together. I like the idea of stamping the butterflies and then placing a cut-out butterfly on top. Simple, but I never think to do that and it really does a lot to add the dimension. You also do such clever, simple things with ribbon. Thanks for sharing these great cards. Can’t wait to hear about the new man in your life. I’m guessing it might have 4 legs and fur, but I’m eager to hear about whoever it is.
Like all the cards-great designs. Guess I need to get a sample pack of paper. I have held back because I am more a pastel, jewel color person. I think the suede and razzleberry I would like. The razzleberry dp is pretty and the colors all look good on your cards! tfs
Gorgeous cards…..I am loving these new SU colors more and more! Love how you did those butterflies! New man…hmmm, I am thinking its a poochie maybe??
Wow, these cards are so bright and pretty. I think I like the last one best, which is odd as those aren’t really my colours. I love it when I see an old set that I haven’t used in a while brought out and made to shine.
You have really made this set shine!
Beautiful cards Leslie! My Priceless set hasn’t been out to play in way too long either! I think I’ll drag it out today. Thanks for the inspiration!
Leslie ~ Your cards here just make me smile! I love the colors you put together!! As for the new man in your life…hurry…I wanna know!!!
Ooo, ooo, ooo!!!!! Fantastic cards! They’re just so happy! This paper is on its way to my house — I love how well it goes with the SU! colors! Thanks, as always, for the inspiration!
Leslie – your cards are wonderful! The butterflies card is wonderful with the popped up wings and the tiny row of piercings. Now about the new man in your life – I’m guessing he’s of the feline variety…

Oh Leslie these are so vibrant and cheery! I really like the new incolors and they do go perfectly with the lemonade papers! Great cards and easy peasy see…. :0) Now on to this new man in your life…. Did you get a puppy? hee hee

Great cards! I need some of that paper now! LOL
All three are so beautiful, Leslie, and you’ve convinced me on that paper (which I keep thinking I may add to my order…then change my mind last minute). Just beautiful!!
I’m thinking your new man is a fur baby…and I can hardly wait to “meet” him. ☺

All 3 are beautiful! I haven’t played with these papers…couldn’t warm up to them but you’ve changed my mind!

I’m so glad you used this set. I have it and haven’t used it in ages. Actually, I’ve never done much with it except use the swirl. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Oh my Leslie! What a wonderful set! Gorgeous colours, and I love the addition of the green. So bright and fresh…love them all! Can’t wait to hear about your new man…is he cute?
Wow, these are all so bright and fun! Love the wedding card! I have three coming up so I’d better get started on some cards! I love the sweet whimsical touches, like the hearts and butterflies! These are so pretty!! Oh, and the new man? Can’t wait to hear about him!
