It’s the Triple Treat Flower stamp with a neat technique using the Big Shot.
The stamp is one of the A la Carte stamps in the catalog. And it’s retiring today – May 31st. It’s the last day of our catalog. The neat trick on this card is the Framed Tulip Embossing Folder. I found the card idea on Pinterest and a link to the blog with the technique. With the little embossing strip folders this would be much easier to accomplish.
Here are the supplies –
Card Stock – Basic Gray, Calypso Coral, Pool Party
Classic Ink – Calypso Coral, Pool Party
Domestic Goddess Designer Paper (R)
Triple Treat Flower stamp (R)
Daffodil Delight Grosgrain Ribbon (R)
Designer Printed Brads
Fancy Flower Punch
5-Petal Flower Punch (R)
Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Framed Tulips Embossing Folder
I’ll be back later with more. I can’t believe it is already May 31st.

So here is one more card for you for today – this one is a card idea from Mary Brown – that would be Mary from Create with Connie & Mary – I was on their design team a while back for some of their online classes. The link should be in my side bar on my blog. I know they are doing weekly challenges and I need to try to do some of those. This was one of Mary’s cards for one of the challenges and I thought it was so cute. I have just now started using the Domestic Goddess Designer Series paper and there is only one more day that you can order it from the catalog. Why did I wait so long? Well I guess I should show you the card –
I always forget about the little Floral Fushion sizzlit die – and for a few dies I thought it was on the retiring list – but its not – phew….. but of course some of the other supplies used for this card are on the list – you have the rest of today and tomorrow to place an order from this catalog. Then on Friday June 1st will be the transition to the new catalog – we can start ordering at 2 pm our time.
supplies –
Heard from the Heart stamp set (R)
Card stock – Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Basic Gray, Whisper White
Basic Gray and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Markers
Domestic Goddess Designer series paper (R)

May 28, 2012 | Big Shot, Birthday, Designer Series Paper, Retired List, Uncategorized, Under the Stars |
Would this be so cute to give to your favorite person just to say “you’re great!”?
And what is inside this little box is a mini bag of Gummy Bears. Hmm – did I already share this project? I feel like I already talked about Gummy Bears before. Well I used the smiling bear from Under the Stars stamp set – it’s retiring – darn – it was great for smores projects and camping related, summer fun type of stuff. It would go well with one of the new sets in the catalog.
I left the box open and cut the little tabs off – I added a piece of designer paper inside and glued it to the open back. Another piece is glued on the front. And a third piece was stamped with the bear and then I cut out the stomach and glued it onto the bear image that was stamped on the Crumb Cake card stock. The bear is added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Here is the supplies and those that are retiring are marked with an (R).
Stamp set – Under the Stars (R)
Big-Shot Machine, Box #2 Bigz XL Die (R)
Card stock – Real Red 12″ x 12″, Crumb Cake
Ink – Jet Black StazOn
Designer paper – Big Top Birthday (R)
Real Red Satin Ribbon (R)
Have a good day – I’ll be back later with another project. Oops – I meant to post this Tuesday morning – but it went out Monday night. So I’ll really be back with another project later on Tuesday.
May 21, 2012 | Big Shot, In Colors, Tags |
Concord Crush has been one of the Stampin’ Up! In-colors for the past 2 years and now it is retiring. I made these tags earlier this month to add to my customer orders –
They feature Concord Crush – card stock to cut the Elegant Bird Big Shot die (the die will be in the new catalog), ink to stamp the Simply Soft flower image on the bird (that’s a hostess set that will be retiring too), Designer Series Paper (this In-Color stack is retiring) punched with the Scallop Circle punch (the punch is staying). The tag uses the Three Little Words stamp set (it’s retiring) stamped in the Concord Crush ink and punched with the Modern Label punch (the punch is staying). The tag is added to the center of the flower with one of the purple Rhinestone Brads found in the Ice Circle assortment (yes, those are retiring too). Tie it on to a bag with some white Baker’s Twine.
The 5 In-Colors that are retiring are Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait, and Blushing Bride. And the other things I mentioned as retiring are only available for a little while longer. Order soon if you want any of these.
Thanks,

I wanted to try some other Designer Series Paper besides the Summer Smooch with the Petite Purse Die. My workshop girls from last week – wanted to see the die so this is what I came up with.
I used the Attic Boutique Designer Paper from the Occasions Mini catalog and look how cute it turned out. This particular paper is not shown well in the mini – it only shows the two strips and the background but in the corner is also has the flowers so it makes for a funky little purse.
To decorate the front I punched with the Boho Blossoms punch and stacked all three flowers together and put a Rhinestone brad through the center and secured it to the front of the purse. The Daffodil Delight print is the backside of this paper so if you wanted you could have turned it around and had the Daffodil print on the outside of the purse.
These would be cute for a bridal shower which is what I was thinking of when I selected the paper to try. The Occasions Mini has ended now but guess what there are some items in it that have been carried over and it sounds like some will be in our new catalog.
These are the stamp sets still available – Bordering on Romance, Loving Thoughts, Mixed Bunch, Tea Shoppe, Apothecary Art, Love & Laughter, Mouthwatering, and Baby Prints. Some of the other products still available are the Big Shot items – Framelits, Dies, Sizzlits, and folders, Dazzling Details, the Baker’s twine and Seam Binding, the Twitterpated fabric and designer paper, Blossom punch, Simply Scored, the pearls, the scented embossing powder, and the cookie stamps.
I can’t wait to see what other exciting new things are in the catalog!
Have a great weekend – I have stamp club tonight, then Kyle is coming home tomorrow for a week before he leaves to go to California. Tyler is already home – so a year of college done. I’ll try to post this weekend about the birds in the backyard – I do have updates for you – I just have had a chance to get them posted.

I love this butterfly idea that I saw at Leadership with the Hat Pin from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini catalog. This is my second card using this idea. I also used the new Framelits – the labels collection – Love them!
So here is a quick list of what I used on this card –
So Saffron card base – stamped half with En Francais background stamp with Soft Suede ink
Crumb Cake Seam Binding
Framelits Labels – Early Espresso, Very Vanilla (stamped with Apothocary Art) – color the stamped image with So Saffron Stampin’ Write marker, sponged with Soft Suede
Beautiful Butterflies Die – cut one from Pool Party card stock and one from Attic Boutique Designer Series paper. I used the 1/16 inch punch to put a hole above and below the smaller butterfly and stick the hat pin through the holes. Add a string of Rhinestones over the center of the small butterfly. Tie a piece of Linen thread around the top of the hat pin. And the butterfly with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Occasions Mini Catalog is ending soon – April 30th!
Have a great day!
