The "occasions mini catalog" has so many great stamp sets and products that I found it difficult not to spend all my money buying everything in it! On an earlier post, I featured the "Wagon Full of Fun" stamp set. This time I'm featuring the "Soft Summer" set. This is one of those two-step stamp sets providing both the outline and "colored-in" images, which make the designs pop. Of course, you could always stamp just the outline and then use your aqua painter or blender pens, but this is much easier and gives the same effect as water colors. The words are part of this set, too. For the first card, I used pretty in pink, rose red, certainly celery and always artichoke markers to color directly on the stamps. I've had the spiral punch for some time but just haven't used it. For some reason I thought I needed to use it with words only, but I've seen more and more samples using it along the edges of cardstock for special effect
