Today’s card is a mix of current and upcoming products. I love how Stampin’ Up! products work well together regardless of old or new.
Paper and Colors
I knew which stamp set I wanted for this card, but needed some direction with the color and flow. Turning to my DSP is always my next step. The colors and patterns are wonderful. Yesterday I shared with you the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. (You can see that card HERE!) And today I have gone back to the Fitting Florets for yet another piece of that gorgeous paper.
This one is very bright and happy. And it led me to this finished product. The Night of Navy and Balmy Blue are a perfect match. It is the unexpected Polished Pink that is the surprise and the star!
Stamps
Beginning with the Polished Pink and hearts was a fairly certain thing. The stamps used are from the upcoming Country Bouquet stamp set and punch Bundle. Did you notice Punch Bundle? They are my favorite type of Bundles because they are less expensive and so quick and easy. The two hearts are on one stamp but punch with one punch due to the layout. That is an extra bonus. Personally I also love the distressed, or I suppose Country, look of the hearts. A bit of a softer look.
Punches
I went a bit heavy with punches for this card. The background of the focal layer is the Decorative Circle Punch. Then the leaves and flowers are from the Boughs Punch. And last but not least is the sentiment layer of the Label Me Fancy Punch. But as I mentioned before, they are so easy to look at your punch stash and decide what works best.
Hopefully this card works for you! I love the mix of the dark and bright colors. So to finish it off, I went with a few of the 2021-2023 In Color Opals in Polished Pink. They are scattered on the boughs and a larger one on the sentiment layer. And to finish the sentiment layer I chose one of the 2022-2024 items. It is the Twine in those In Colors. This one is Starry Sky, but against the mix of Night of Navy and Balmy Blue, it works perfectly.

I have a pretty card to share with you today that all of the products are still available. It is from the Framed and Fitting Florets. However the paper is only available until the 4th of January. When the Mini Catalog goes live, the paper goes away. And it is beautiful paper!
Papers
As I said in the beginning, I think this paper is one of the prettiest available right now. And it is still available. The Fitting Florets Designer Series paper has great colors and patterns. I have paired a floral and a check with this Evening Evergreen card base. The brightness of the blue flowers surprisingly to me plays very well with the Evening Evergreen darker shade.
Stamps
The stamp set and bundle will carry over to the upcoming Mini Catalog. They are the Framed Florets Bundle. Although I did not use the dies on this card, they are amazing as well. The flowers are a match to the paper. And I decided to color it by copying the paper. I used Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends with a touch of Night of Navy for a darker shading.
Plus the sentiments in this set are the kind I love. They have a mix of fonts in them. You can see that from both the front and inside sentiments that I used. These make me happy! And to finish the card, I added a scattering of the Iridescent Pearls that I colored with the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend. The iridescent shine comes through even after being colored!
Layout
This is not a new fold, but one I changed just a bit. The card base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored on the 8 1/2 side at 1 1/4 and 4 1/4. Normally I would fold the small score back to the front. But on this card I decided another gift card holder, or cash holder, was called for. So I folded it to the inside. You can see that from the second photo. I have a PDF of this card for you.

There are still 90 Items on the Clearance Rack. Plus quite a lot of the

Today’s project is a group of simple gift tags. It uses my favorite tags dies the Celebrations Tags Die set. I went with the rustic look for these.
Tag Dies
It seems every project I make to post that the products sell out before I post. The problem with Last Chance items I suppose. But if you were lucky enough to get the Celebrations Tags Dies, that is the base of this project. The tag and the hearts are from that Die set. I chose a somewhat rustic look for this set of tags with Real Red, Shaded Spruce and they are paired with the Kraft paper. The tag and the hearts are both from the die set.
Stamps and Punches
To make quite a few of these tags, I wanted fairly quick and simple. So I opted to stamp a lot of the Joy on a strip of Thick Basic White card stock in the Real Red Ink. This simple little word is loved, and is from the Handmade Wishes stamp set. Sadly, another that is sold out. After checking my punches, as they are my Go To for quick, I found there was one that fit perfectly. This sweet little punch is named Best Label Punch. It is from the Annual Catalog and is Not sold out!! At least one!
Finishes
However the gold twine is also sold out. I am so sorry! Things are moving quite quickly now. But the Heart Pearls are also still available! Although any little embellishment would work for a bit of bling on the hearts.
Thank you for visiting in this busy time of year. I hope I have given you some inspiration, even if not with these same products.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s December Blog Hop! We have created wintry projects to share with you today – snow, sleds and mittens are sure to be found in our lineup. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My Winter card is a young deer enjoying the snow and trees. It is the Best Time of Year! I went back to the Annual Catalog for this project.
Stamps
Today’s card is another one stamp set card. All of the stamped images are from the Peaceful Deer stamp set. And since it is in the Annual Catalog, it is not going away until at least May! I do love this set. There are so many ways to use these trees and different deer. I focused on the special deer with the sweet saying. And the sentiment layer goes along with that one.
The colors used are Soft Suede for the deer. Evening Evergreen was used on the all of the trees. And Pool Party for the snow flakes and at the deer’s feet. The sentiment is stamped also in Evening Evergreen.
Papers
I was searching for a complimentary paper to the scene I was creating when I found not one but two pieces. Actually they are the front and back of the same piece. That is a winner / winner!! Of course the papers had the Soft Suede of the deer, but they also directed me to the Evening Evergreen for the trees. Soft Suede is not one I use very often. However I am really loving how it brings out the pine cones.
Finishes
Between all of the trees and the busy papers the card has a lot going on. I still needed some bling and to settle the scene. So out came the Festive Pearls in the soft green. It seems similar to the light in the pine cone paper as well as matching the Pool Party snow. Those are scattered around the scene. But I also added a darker twine from the Essentials Bakers Twine Combo Pack. Twine works wonderfully with more rustic colors.
