Do you like to color?

Have you checked out the new Stampin' Up Occasions catalog yet?  What a fun way to get motivated to play with some new products and projects, and distract yourself from the winter weather!  There is a versatile stamp set in it that I wanted to share; it is Party with Cake (photopolymer set only $20 for 12 stamps).  It is perfect for coloring with Stampin' Up markers and making a few (or a lot of) cards:

Here are some a projects you can make with this set:
