Stampin' Up's Sealed with Love for Valentines Day

Do I really need a new valentine's set? Was my first thought when I saw the new "sealed with Love" bundle in the 2017 Occasions Catalogue.
Well, after our club this week, I can say "yes!" with full confidence!
It's SO SO fun.
Here is the bundle (you can also just by the stamp set, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the envelopes and other shapes that come with this set):

We couldn't just make ONE card this month, because it was much too fun.
here's the first card:

Card Stock: tip top taupe

blushing bride

pool party

Stamp sets: sealed with love

gorgeous grunge

To make the white strip we just used the stamp from gorgeous grunge. 

This one was really fun to make, because for each of the 12 mini envelopes you could do something different in them.
I got this card idea from Jennie Thompson (you close all the envelopes and give it away that way:)

We used Crumb Cake and the more typical valentine's colors for this one.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stampin' Up's Occasion Catalogue 2017

The new occasions catalogue is out, and I have to say, I truly think they outdid themselves this time.
There are so many things I love!!!! Especially the bundles.

For starters, the balloon pop up thinlits dies ($44.00) #142753 is super affective for a young birthday card.
Here's a card made with them:

Pretty fun! Thanks Jeanie Stark for the great idea.

And who cannot love the cupcakes and carousels suite.  The Stamp set carousel birthday is SO SO cute! And only $23.00 for the clear set! (#142832.
Here's the images:

love this by Wendy:

And obviously I HAVE to get the air balloon bundle, "life me up" for $59 for 16 stamps and 15 dies for my big shot.

The options are truly endless!

I love the sealed with kiss bundle and the basket bunch bundle, but will be highlighting those later on.

And there are several other things I LOVE in the new catalogue, but NONE as much as the "Chase Your Dreams" Stamp set... because they have the Disney Castle!!!!!!!
Oh my word, so so excited.

There aren't too many images out there yet with it, I'm not sure the Disney Freaks like me have caught on yet!
Here's one I found:

What's your favorite part of the new catalogue?

Beautiful You

Every once and a while stampin' up puts out a new stamp set that i'm like: Do i like it? hate it? Hate to love it? Love to hate it?

There's one that didn't catch my eye at all when I was first flipping through the new occasions catalogue (more about that later this week!) and yet it seems to be EVERYWHERE on pinterest, blogs, and google.

So I'm dying to hear what you think.
Here it is: $34.50 for 13 stamps.

Here are some projects I found using it:

 And a whole class based on the one set

Now I'm dying to know. Love or Hate? Comments welcome :)
