Do you have the new Summer Mini catalog?  It’s full of gorgeous new stamps, and I think it has a nice focus on masculine and travel themed images.  We get a little carried away creating things for our feminine selves, don’t you think?

Stampin’ Up! didn’t forget about the Girly stuff though.  One of my favorite new products – and there are a few – are the two new Triple Layer Punches.  I snapped up the Blossom Boquet in my demonstrator pre-order last month, and now I’m struggling with whether or not I NEED the Doily.  Ha!  Silly Maui Stamper.  Who doesn’t need another punch?  Go ahead, raise your hand.

I’m not going to go into detail on these – but they’re all done with the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch.  The stems are from the XL Two Step Bird – and no doubt about it, you NEED that one!!  I just did like the name said and layered everything together, then added some Crystal Effects in the little windows – you can see it best in the one on the far right.

One thing I do have to add – that Soft Suede Polka Dot ribbon is in the Clearance Rack right now for $3.99.  Need I say more?

Here’s what I put inside – and don’t laugh, ok?

This is one of those sad, sad stories about projects that aren’t completed on a timely basis.  This is Avon hand cream – and luxurious cream it is – yes, I confess – in Christmas packaging.  Just didn’t get to it!  Very embarassing, I know.  Better late than never, and I certainly didn’t want to wait until Christmas 2011!
