Jun 2, 2017 | Cards, In Colors |
Are you ready to meet the next In Color from the new 2017-2019 Collection!
I’ve been creating with the new In Colors and this brand new Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack. It’s a 12×12 stack with 2 double-sided designs in each of the 5 new In Colors. I’ve almost used up a full pack of 40 sheets!!
Here is the next In Color I’ featuring today:
Fresh Fig is deep and moody. In this framed project you can see the card stock and ink plus the ribbon and some designer series paper. There is also some watercoloring on the background and inside the embossed images.
Here is a card I made:
This card uses the Fresh Fig cardstock and ink. One of the Fresh Fig prints from the Fresh Floral Designer Series Paper Stack and the cute little Fresh Fig Bitty Bow. These are little felt bows already tied and with adhesive to quickly add a little fun to your project.
I’ve also used the new Colorful Seasons stamp set and the Stitched Shapes Framelits – remember those from the end of last year – they are in the new catalog too.
Here is a peek at this project in all 5 of the In Colors.

May 31, 2017 | Cards, Masculine, Retired List |
It’s the LAST Day!
Today is the LAST day that you can order from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog and 2017 Occasions Catalog. At midnight tonight they officially retire! Do a quick check and make sure you have not missed anything.
It’s one more day until the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog begins! Ordering begins June 1st at 2:00 PM ET (12 noon MT). If you don’t have your new catalog yet let me know.
Here is my last Something Old project for you:
A clean and simple card made in Neutral colors for Father’s Day. But you can easily change the greeting for some other occasion. I used the Crazy About You Stamp Set which has a big variety of words in it. The card stock is Tip Top Taupe which is one of our retiring In Colors. And the embossing folder – I’m so sad – I loved those big polka dots. The Neutrals Designer Paper stack is also retiring.
And today’s something new project –
It’s the Daisy Delight Bundle which has been extremely popular among the demonstrators during our pre-order. Yes one of the perks of being a demo is we get the chance to order some products early. I made this card for a swap and punch lots of daisies. It’s the daisy punch that has been so popular and won’t be available right on June 1st – but will be back in stock later in the month. Those gemstones (see it in the center of my flower) are so much fun – I’ve been using those up too – they come in two colors – gold and clear.

May 30, 2017 | 2017 Occasions Catalog, Big Shot, Birthday, Cards, Retired List |
Only 2 more days!!
Just 2 more days until the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog and 2017 Occasions Catalog officially retire! Don’t miss some great products – Gorgeous Grunge is one of my most used stamp sets and the Star Framelits and star punch are retiring – that one still baffles me. So if you want the stars get them now.
2 more days until the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog begins! Ordering begins June 1st at 2:00 PM ET (12 noon MT). If you don’t have your new catalog yet let me know.
Here is another Something Old project for you:
This uses the Cool Treats Suite from the Occasions catalog. This sweet is perfect for summer! And luckily the stamp set and the framelits are staying – but the two bundled together will retire – so save 10% by ordering them as a bundle now. The fun Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Paper is also retiring. The Watermelon Wonder is one of our retiring In-Colors and it is in this paper – I used the card stock to make the little strawberries – aren’t they the cutest! Some other items in the suite are the washi tape and Sprinkles Embellisments – those will be retiring too. If you go to the Stampin’ Up! FB page the Artisan Design team had a bunch of projects with this suite.
And today’s something new project –
How about this fun, bright, birthday card! It features one of our brand new In-Colors called Lemon Lime Twist! I used the card stock and a piece of the new Fresh Florals Designer Paper Stack for this card. This new color on the Basic Black just pops! I also used a brand new bundle – Happy Birthday Gorgeous Bundle – it’s one that you might overlook in the catalog. It includes this awesome Happy Birthday Thinlits die – I love the font and the size of it. And there is a stamp set that you can use with it – that’s where the word BELATED comes from. I think I need a whole big stack of these cards since I’ve missed lots of birthdays since the beginning of the year.
Remember to SHOP NOW for the retiring items and make your shopping list for new items to order in June. If you live local be sure to come to my Catalog Kickoff Party & BOGO Sale on Saturday, June 17 – visit my calendar HERE.

May 25, 2017 | Cards, Paper Pumpkin, Wedding |
Are you ready for a new set of ideas for your monthly Paper Pumpkin kit?
For today’s post I’m joining in with a group of talented demonstrators who have created some other ideas using items from the May 2017 kit. One of the wonderful things about the Paper Pumpkin community are all the different ideas that everyone comes up with. So join us today as we bring you some more ideas for this month’s Sprinkled with Love Paper Pumpkin kit
If you aren’t a Paper Pumpkin subscriber you can sign up HERE. Sign up by June 10 to receive the June kit. AND if you are a brand new subscriber use the promo code – STARTHERE – and receive 25% off each of your first three months – that’s the June, July and August kits!
On to my card for today – this one is a clean and simple card. I used a few things from the Paper Pumpkin kit along with a few supplies from my craft room.
I decided to use one of the little envelopes as “paper” and die cut it with the Stitched Shapes Framelits using the largest of the circle dies. You could cut 4 circles from each envelope. And probably get two more if you didn’t cut full circles or moved to the one size smaller in the set. I cut full circles because originally I thought I was going to use the full circle but ended up just using a portion of it. And if you don’t have the Stitched Shapes or other Circle dies, use a punch.
I glued my circle onto a layer of Very Vanilla card stock (mine is 5″ x 3-3/4″). I added that onto a Soft Suede card base (11″ x 4-1/4″, score at 5-1/2″). I stamped the greeting on my card using the Soft Suede ink – you could pick which ever greeting you want. Then use 24″ piece of the gold twine and tie it around the front of the card and tie in a little bow.
To finish I took three of the vanilla flowers from the kit and stamped the centers and then added a pearl. Each one is on the circle with a dimensional.
I think it turned out to be a nice elegant card – it could be a wedding card even – it is wedding season now.
If you live local to me join me for some stamping this week – Friday 5/26 – Card Makers Class and next week Wednesday 5/31 for Paper Pumpkin Craft Night. You can find details and RSVP on my website HERE.
Be sure to hop along and see the rest of the ideas. Next up is Kimberly Morris – check out her creative ideas.

May 22, 2017 | Cards, watercolor pencils |
These cards are so totally cute! They use the Bella & Friends stamp set with the new Watercolor Pencils.
I just love how they turned out. I stamped the images in black archival ink on a Shimmery White scalloped circle – cut out with the Layering Circle framelits dies. Then used the watercolor pencils to color and blended them with an Aqua-painter.
The banner is from the Tasty Treats designer paper – it’s on the retired list and on sale. The little heart is punched from the Owl Builder punch – it’s also on the retired list – so hurry and get it before it sells out. I love the little heart with that saying.
TIP: here is a little tip for you if some how you get a tiny smudge on your card – use the little heart to cover it.
Some Whisper White Baker’s Twine is tied around the top to finish it off.
Be sure to check out my calendar of events on my website and if you live local to me I hope you will come to a class. You can make this card in my Card Maker’s Class this Friday.

May 12, 2017 | Cards, Graduation, Retired List |
Graduation season is here are you ready with your Graduation cards. My two oldest are done with school and graduations and my youngest still has another year of college – so in my mind I wasn’t thinking that I needed any graduation cards this year. But I was wrong! I actually needed a whole stack – I still had extended family and friends with kids graduating from both High School and College. I created this card and was really pleased with how it turned out. I decided to stick with a black/white/gold theme since I had various schools and both boys and girls – this theme would work for them all.
I used several retiring products on this card – probably things you already have on hand. And then snuck in a little sneak peek on the envelope – that’s a new stamp set coming out June 1st!
Here is a list of the products I used and the retiring items are marked with (R):
- Thick Whisper White card stock
- Basic Black card stock
- Whisper White card stock
- Whisper White Medium envelope
- 1″ circle punch
- Banner Triple punch
- Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper (R)
- Gold Sequin Trim (R)
- Mini Paper Clips Combo Pack (R)
- B.Y.O.P. stamp set (R)
- Basic Black ink
- Happy Birthday Gorgeous (coming June 1)
A tip on making this card – punch the various patterns into 1″ circles and randomly attach to the Whisper White layer – letting the circles hang over the edges in places. Trim off the over hang and uses those pieces to fill in gaps along the edge.
I used just the black & white side of this paper but you could mix in the pink sides too.
Have fun – or use this idea with a different paper – bright colors perhaps and make a birthday card, or soft colors and make a baby card. An easy and versatile design.
Have a great day!
