As soon as I saw the Summer Afternoon stamp set from the 2012-2013 Stampin Up! catalog, I knew I had to get it. The swing immediately reminded me of the one I used to sit on everyday during my vacations in Cape Cod — it was surrounded by flowers and overlooked the ocean.
In this card, I used some of the new 2012-13 In Colors – Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit and Primrose Petals. The other stamps that come in the set are also great – reminds me of lazy summer afternoons. This stamp set will be available starting on June 1st when the new catalog comes out. Want to know how to get it? It is a hostess stamp so you can get it by hosting a qualifying workshop or placing an online order of $150.
