The title of today’s post is Family. This comes from the adorable Honeybee Home stamp set paired with the Heart & Home DSP. A beautiful pair!
Stamp Set and Dies
I did use a stamp set and a die set, but they are not a pair. However, the two work perfectly together. The sentiment and flower stamp are from the Honeybee Home stamp set. For the great design of the sentiment layer, I went to the Hippo & Friends Die set. These are an awesome mix of layering dies that are in addition to the hippo and his friends. I think they are must have for your layering die needs!
Paper and Colors
As is usually the case with me picking colors, I chose from the gorgeous DSP. Today I used the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper. I love the soft colors in the top layer of DSP, and how the green layer compliments it perfectly. All of the paper and stamping colors come from the top DSP layer.
To tie all of the layers and colors together, I chose just a wrap around of the Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon. It grounds the sentiment layer. And to help that layer stand out just a bit, I used the Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Write Marker to go around the edges. There is the smallest of an embossed ledge around the layer. By running the side of the marker around a couple of times, it goes onto that little ledge and adds a bit of a divider between the layer and the DSP. I finished with a trio of the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.

I am very much enjoying breaking out the new stamps from the Mini and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs. Today’s project is created using the Crane of Fortune, and a bit of imagination.
Stamps
The star of this card is the beautiful Crane, and maybe the flowers. They both have awesome detail that I love from the Stampin’ Up! design team. The flowers are stamped first and then partially masked to get the greenery added around it. To give just a bit more detail for the crane, he is stamped and die cut using the matching dies. He is then adhered flat but it is enough of a raise that you can tell.
To finish the card the All Day Your Way was chosen. This stamp is included in the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set. The set is all sentiments and are made with this fun font. That was a must have for me!
Paper , etc.
The card base is Just Jade with a layer of Smoky Slate. Cranes tend to be either gray or white, so he is stamped with Smoky Slate. Just Jade was used for the greenery and Petal Pink for the pretty flowers. The sentiment is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and punched using the Label Me Fancy Punch.
For a bit of a change, I layered some of the Cotton Ribbon Combo ribbon behind the sentiment layer. There are several of the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels spread around also. The ones in the greenery are very difficult to see in the photo. It appears they blend very well.

I have another quick and easy card for you today. This one is all in the stamped image! Can you say “Oh My”?
Paper and Color
This card layout is the same as yesterday’s card. My go to layout for multiples or quick and easy is White on White with a raised top White layer. First, it is very quick to do, and most everyone has White cardstock. The bit of Pop comes from the color of the images. I went with Just Jade for the tree and Misty Moonlight for the sentiment.
Stamp Sets
The star of this card is that amazing tree image. It is from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set. There are three different images and all are as equally stunning as this tree. The definition and shading are just a WOW! To keep the simple theme going, I went with just a sweet sentiment that would work for most any occasion. It is from the Artfully Layered stamp set. You know I am crazy about great fonts and the ones in this stamp set fit the bill perfectly.

It’s a New Catalog Debut today with Stampin’ Up! The January – June 2022 Mini Catalog is Live now. And to sweeten the deal, It is also Sale-A-Bration time once again. That is the best time of year. Stampin’ Up! always has great Join promotions for the SAB events. For this SAB it is 2 FREE stamp sets from any live catalog! This is Amazing!!!!
My card for you today is a Thank You card made with one of the new sets in the Mini Catalog. I always say that I do not need another flower. LOL!!!! This one is awesome.
Flowing Flowers
This flower is so delicate looking I believe. And the detail from the built in shading and definition is perfect. I also LOVE the font in the sentiment. All of the sentiments in this set are similar. It is so Now in that style. Plus this set is a perfect way to make a quick card or multiples. This is my last month customer Thank You card and were really easy to make. The only item not from the stamp set is the splatter, which is from the Gorgeous Leaves set.
Paper and Color
For quick and easy, I went with White on White for the card style. Just the addition of a few dimensionals really makes it look special. To get a soft look from the flower, I went with a Pale Papaya background splatter. Then added Calypso Coral for the flower itself. My go to color for a sentiment, when not using Black, is Smoky Slate. I love how these colors are all fairly soft looking.

January snowflakes with a supple shimmer. Sparkle and bling create beautiful snowflakes that are neither cold or wet!
Today’s project is a mix of Old, New and Retiring products. This project is for the Make My Monday Challenge where I am on the Design Team. This challenge is simply Snowflakes!
I mentioned above that this is the Make My Monday Challenge. You are welcome to play along. And you can visit the website by clicking on the icon below.
Retiring Products
As I said, I have a mix of going away, coming in, and current products in this card. The Retiring Products are the Snowflakes and sentiment. They are from the Merry Snowflakes Bundle. It is all in the details as they say. And these snowflakes have detail galore! Also they cut beautifully even with the glitter paper!
The Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder is from the Mini Catalog which expires at the end of today also. It is going to carryover however. That is awesome because it gives great detail to a card. And since I have Zero Musical ability, it is a way for me to add some.LOL!!
New Products
The gorgeous Supple Shimmer Specialty Paper is coming in the January-June Mini Catalog which debuts tomorrow. (If you have seen the paper in a catalog, the shimmery white/pool party color is shown as a blue in the catalog photos. This is the real color of it.) I love that there are two different colors of the shimmer paper. And as you can see, it cut wonderfully using the snowflakes dies. That is a definite Win!
Current Products
I used Blushing Bride as the card base to match the pink of the Shimmer paper. It is paired with Pool Party, which pulls the blue of the second shimmer paper. To also go along the pink theme, I used Polished Pink ink to stamp the sentiment.
The sentiment is die cut using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. These are a staple to my die collection as they fit most any stamp with one die or the other. There are quite a few in the set. And for the last touch of bling, I added a variety of sizes of Rhinestones. You just cannot have too much bling with snowflakes. They are a jewel all by themselves.
Before I go, I want to say I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday! I had an unexpected physical issue and have been missing in action since mid December. No Christmas cards went out, no posts, etc. I haven’t even delivered some gifts! But all is well, or getting there.
That said, I wanted to offer you one more chance at my Product Shares. I will place the order tomorrow….So today is the last chance. If you reach out and can pay with Paypal, or are local, I can get you added to the list. Click on my SHOP at the menu bar and then Product Shares. There is a form to complete which will notify me.
