As awesome as the New Annual Catalog is, there are still great products available in the current Mini Catalog. I have combined the sets Catch You Later, Bragworthy, and Artfully Layered together for a fun card.
Stamps
These monkeys are so fun! I immediately think of hanging out with friends. So that is the direction I went. And of course the sentiment takes it the same direction. Yes, I did use three different stamp sets to create this fun card. The monkeys and sentiment are from the Catch You Later stamp set. It is full of similar fun images and sentiments. And the background I created was using the Artfully Layered set with the large leaf and smaller heart leaves.
And to share the third stamp set, the Bragworthy set, here is a view of the inside. It screams “Old Friends” to me!
I realize that this sentiment does not fit everyone. But it definitely works with me and my friends! This stamp set includes six unique and fun sentiments for different occasions.
Colors
To carry the outdoors theme I wanted a green color. But instead ended up with a blue / green by using Bermuda Bay. This is an awesome color that I use often. And to pair with the monkeys’ colors, I added the layer of Crumb Cake. For the stamped backgrounds I did tone on tone for both Bermuda Bay and Crumb Cake. The Crumb Cake images are stamped repeatedly before re-inking.
Embellishments
To give some added emphasis for the sentiment, I used the Double Oval Punch for a bit of an extra layer. And as a more masculine “bling”, I used the New Brushed Metallic Adhesive Dots. By adding one to each of the focal layers it brings them together. And I know I generally do at least three of my blings. This card just did not like adding a third one.

For today’s card I am focused on just one of the New In Colors. It is the Sweet Sorbet. And it is as sweet as the name sounds.
Papers and Colors
Stampin’ Up! has outdone themselves again with some of the gorgeous new DSP. This paper is Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper and it is outstanding! The faded looking images remind me of playing with leaves, construction paper, and the sun as a science project. Although their version is so much better! This is the new Sweet Sorbet In Color. You can see the darker shade of it towards the center of the print. And this pack of paper has all of the New In Colors included. It is a must have in my book.
Since the faded look in the papers is more Vanilla than White, I went with Very Vanilla for the tag and layer. And the lovely Sweet Sorbet is the card base. The full strength color was too dark on the tag, so it is stamped off for the Fern you see. However, it matches the lighter shades of the paper even better.
Stamps, Dies, etc
Surprisingly this is the same stamp set as yesterday’s card, Nature’s Print stamp set. And the little fern on the tag is the same one from that card. With this paper I did not want to cover it up with stamping. That really is a dilemma sometimes with the papers we have! Instead I went with one of the smaller of the Tailor Made Tags Dies. It was large enough to hold the sentiment and part of the Fern.
To finish this sweet card I added a bit of the Sweet Sorbet Metallic Ribbon to the tag. Not only does it add some shimmer but it adds yet another shade of the color. Each of these new colors I have played with have been my “current favorite”! And now this Sweet Sorbet is my Favorite!!

I just finished placing my order from the Annual Catalog! With a mile long list, almost everything that is new, it took me a while. Hopefully you are ready to place your first order as well.
Today’s card is from one of the new bundles available. I feel the new Nature’s PrintsBundle will be a hit with the wonderful leaves and great dies. Especially the frame and sentiments.
Bundle
The Nature’s Prints Bundle is a beautiful leafy set with some awesome sentiments. It reminds me of Forever Fern, which has been very popular. As you can see in the photo, this is my type of sentiment. I love the mix of fonts. And this is such a sweet thought for someone. Of course having matching dies is awesome. These two pieces are stamped and then die cut. Both are layered directly onto the embossed layer.
Embossing and Colors
The Fern 3D Embossing Folder is part of the Suite of products that includes the Nature’s Prints Bundle. This also includes the gorgeous Sun Prints Designer Series Paper. Since I did not have the paper available, I went with a similar color pallet. For the embossed layer I used Gray Granite. It shows the embossing well. And the embossing has some “highs and some lows” which helps with the depth
The card base is Pacific Point which pairs great with the Gray Granite. To carry on with the color, I stamped the sentiment in Gray Granite as well. And it is die cut using a frame from the Die set. Again, since I did not have newer DSP, I went with the Brights DSP from last catalog in Pacific Point. The strip measures 3 1/2 X 1/2 and it is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The gem is the just retired Blue Gems, but I am sure there are new ones to use now.

I have used both the Cup of Tea Bundle and the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper on this card. And added in some of the New In Colors! The Cup of Tea Bundle has been a very popular one with the Demonstrator Preorder.
In Colors 2022 – 2024
This card has two of the new In Colors that debut in the Annual Catalog tomorrow. Personally, I am in love with the Parakeet Party ( the layer) and that was very unexpected! But it is not far ahead of this gorgeous Starry Sky. The tea cup is colored using those same colors in the Stampin’ Blends. Surprisingly when seen in person, the Parakeet Party is a shade lighter and brighter than Granny Apple Green. And the Starry Sky is similar to a Royal Blue.
Cup of Tea Bundle and DSP
The In Colors carry over to the gorgeous paper in the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper. And the Tea Theme is wonderfully represented. All of the colors as well as the art is amazing. There are two different cups along with a matching cup die included in the bundle. And the flowers that I have inside the cup are soft and happy ones.
The greenery and flowers are stamped using Parakeet Party Ink along with Fresh Freesia flowers. For the Tea Cup, I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with the Stampin’ Blends to match the cardstock. It is raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals for depth.
A Second Version
This card features the same products with the exception of the card base color. The star is another of the New In Colors and is Tahitian Tide. And as you can see Parakeet Party pairs well here as well. The sentiment used on this card is from the stamp set. But the one on the first card is from the Hello Beautiful Stamp set in the Mini Catalog.
Measurements
The card base on each card is cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. The Parakeet Party layer is the same on each and is cut to 5 1/4 X 4. For the Basic White layer they are cut to 5 1/8 X 3 7/8 each. And the strip of DSP is each cut to 5 1/8 X 1 1/2. The DSP is layered flush with the bottom of the Basic White.

SUPPLIES:
This will be updated once the new Annual catalog goes live.
I have combined three great products for today’s card. The star is the Wildlife Wonder bear paired with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder and New Horizon DSP. A simple and pretty card.
Stamps
This beautiful bear is from the Wildlife Wonder stamp set, as are all of the stamps used here. The details on the bear really give the illusion of movement. And the shadow at the base adds to it. For a bit of realism, and depth, I added the single wildflower. Of course the sentiment is one of the stars. And if you know me, you know that I love a mix of fonts. This one is perfect and a great size.
Embossed
The Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder has always been a favorite. It adds subtle texture. But if stamped on prior to embossing it gives the look of a canvas. On this card I went with the Thick Basic White, stamped and then embossed. And it is raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give more depth to the card.
Papers
Even though the card base is Thick Basic White and the focal layer is White, this card shows quite a bit of color. That is from the New Horizon DSP. And I promise that I did not use most of a piece of this beautiful paper to only hide it behind the front layer. I would never do that! This piece had some punches cut from it. And I actually thought ahead to position the punches further inside so it could be used as a layer. That is unusual for me to actually think ahead!! Plus I used one of the cut off pieces as the strip which backs the sentiment. It is a great extra touch of color.
Please do not forget that the Last Chance products are winding down. Additionally we have been notified that all of the Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends are back in stock. They are part of the All Together early release shown below. Because of this that special has been extended through the end of May! Woohoo!
