Stampin' Up Sunday: to a wonderful friend

Happy Sunday!

I need to do Stampin' Up Sunday's with all the SU stuff that I've been slowly accumulating.  

I'm like a lot of crafters, I started off with Stampin' Up around 2003'ish.  I jumped in, with both feet and probably should have signed up to be a demo then but didn't, but was always my then SU Demo's best customer.  After awhile, I started to notice other stamp companies and eventually stepped away from Stampin' Up.  

Fast forward to 2014, and I'm smitten with Stampin' Up again.  Their designs are fun & fresh and they have started to incorporate photopolymer.  That is key for me, I'm only buying the photopolymer sets.  

Check out one of their newest sets, 

You're Wonderful

Chuckling at my photo, my girl is home for the weekend and she was photobombing.  I always use the portrait lens but decided to post this one anyways, it makes me smile...Love having my girl home.

I adore the swoopy font of the wonderful and look how wide it is {my card is A2, 4.25 x 5.5}.  Such a gorgeous set and all is good in the world since I reinked my embossing pad...sheesh, what a huge difference that makes!

My card base is actually Stampin' Up Pink Pirouette.  I then layered the glorious Gold Fancy Designer Vellum Foil on top.

I added a Your Next Stamp Gold Nugget Gum Drop to the center of the largest bloom.  

You're Wonderful
