Jun 4, 2012 | Cards, Designer Series Paper |
The new Stampin’ Up! catalog is here and I have placed orders for my Stamper’s Club, my Open House guests and myself. I can’t wait for UPS to come later this week to deliver all the fun new stuff. Remember the sneak peek we got a couple of months ago – the Summer Smooches Suite – well its back and featured in the new catalog on Pages 80 and 81. It is so very bright and cheerful. Here is a card idea – I got the “sketch” (the layout) from somewhere online so it may look familiar.
The background is Real Red, then there are strips of Lucky Limeade and circles on the end of each strip. There is a strip of the Summer Smooches Designer Series paper on each and then a stamped circle using the Bright Blossoms stamp set. Each flower has a mini silver brad in it and the card is finished with a piece of the Daffodil Delight Seam Binding.
This card will be part of my Card Maker’s Club so come join me at the end of the month if you would like to make one.
My Open House yesterday was lots of fun and so was Stamper’s Club on Friday night. I have to get pictures of all the projects so I can post this week. I’m off to the post office to mail awards for the STARZ group and then to get Ryan from band practice – he made the drum line as a snare drummer this year – I’m very excited for him – he had tried out for this last year and didn’t get chosen, but this year he did.

June 1st is here. The much anticipated early arrival of the new Stampin’ Up! 2012-2013 catalog is finally here. We will be able to start ordering from later this afternoon (2pm eastern time). This morning Stampin’ Up! is transitioning from the old catalog to the new one so the ordering systems are all down for the morning. Later today the online store will be up and links on my website and blog will be added to the new catalog.
My Stamper’s Club is starting tonight with the new catalog and on Sunday I’ll be having an Open House – come join the fun – Details for my Open House are on my website and at the bottom of this post.
Along with this new catalog we have 5 new In-Colors – and here they are –
Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, and Summer Starfruit. You need to come see them in person at my open house and try out the new Firm Foam ink pads.
And here is a new card for you – it features new products from the Patio Party product suite and 4 of the new In-Colors.
New Designer Paper – Patio Party, two new stamp sets – Make a Cake and Itty Bitty Banners, and the new Bitty Banners Framelits!

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)
Silver Mini Brads
Eyelet Border Punch (R)
Big Shot Die Cut machine
Floral Fushion Sizzlit Die
Have a good rest of your day!
May 30, 2012 | Cards, Pocket Silhouettes, Retired List, Thank You |
These projects that I’m showing you this week are from classes that I have had this month and some including this one will also be in my Card Maker’s Club class which is today (Wednesday). I really like the softness of this card – the idea came from one I saw on Pinterest (so many great ideas not just for crafts but recipes too).
The base of the card is Sahara Sand and then the four panels on top are Perfect Plum, Baja Breeze, Sahara Sand and Basic Gray. Each one is stamped in VersaMark ink with one of the flower images in the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set – this one is on the retiring list. I sponged all the panels and the strip across the front with Sahara Sand ink. There are two brads on the left and the sentiment on the right side of the strip. I made this a thank you card but it would work for a sympathy card too.
I also wanted to mention that I have a New Catalog Open House on Sunday! Come see the new In-Colors and try out the new ink pads. I have catalogs, Make-n-takes, snacks and more. Bring a friend and come see me. Details are on my website.
I’ll be back later –
