Hello Stampers! Do you ever buy a stamp set but don’t know where to start? Do you spend hours on the internet searching for inspiration only to end up finding a recipe for dinner? Search no more and open your Stampin’ Up! catalog for inspiration. You can either use the example in the catalog for the specific stamp set, or you can find other ideas you like that you can work with the product you already own.
This wonderful card below was my Catalog Inspiration. It was quite easy. I opened the catalog to the page that has the Pocketful of Sunshine bundle and I saw this wonderful card. So why not grab your catalog and look inside for some inspiration.
Below is a video showing you the process I used to recreate this fun Pocketful of Sunshine card. Keep scrolling down to see another two cards I made.

Thanks for scrolling down. Here I show you two cards I made using the Pocketful of Sunshine bundle. After my catalog inspiration I was able to create a couple more cards. The first one below has a little pocket tag with the stamped image THX. How stink’n cute is that tag? I have to say that is one of my favorite pieces in the bundle. That little detail added to your card really makes your card complete.
This next card is colorful, bold and playful just by simply repeating the sunglass stamp in three different colors. Super quick and easy.
I had fun using the Pocketful of Sunshine bundle to create these three adorable cards. Here is another look at the card holding a gift card in the pocket. No need to look inside the card for the gift.
I hope you will create colorful and fun projects and if you ever find yourself stuck, reach for your catalogs for inspiration. This is why you should keep older catalogs. Where do you find inspiration? Comment below on ways you get inspired to create.

Happy Crafting!
