I hope you all have received the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog. I think it is awesome!! I was thrilled with the carryover stamps and the new ones are wonderful. If you do not have a catalog, and do not have a demonstrator, please let me know. I would love to get one of these new catalogs to you.
Today I am sharing another of the new stamp sets. It is the Sailing Home suite of products. You do not need to be a sailing fan to love this set. I have seen some gorgeous samples with it. My card today is very simple layout.
I used the Sailing Home Bundle and the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper. I love this sentiment. It would work for many occasions, or just a Thinking of You! The stitched look around the sentiment shape was a surprise to me. LOL! I guess I had not looked very closely at the photos in the catalog.
The rope and anchor are part of the dies. I love the embossing on the rope. The anchor has the required loop at the top so you could tie rope through it. I simply pushed the end of the knot through the hole to give that appearance. Easy Peasy!!
The CLEARANCE RACK is getting an update today with some Price Reductions included. Be sure to check it out.
Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate you visiting to see my projects. I will NOT have a project for tomorrow, but will be back on Monday. I hope you have a great weekend.

I have been using the well loved retiring products for a while with only a sneak peek of new items. Today I have another new suite to share. And the paper is AWESOME!! I know, I tend to love all the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper. But if you have not seen the Perennial Essence DSP, be prepared to be in awe! The piece I am showing today is beautiful but not close to the prettiest of the pack.
I wish I could paint like this DSP. It is a beautiful watercolor. You almost hate to cover it up with anything. I was sweating when I stamped the sentiment onto the DSP. I love the unexpectedness of that. But I am always saying a small prayer to not mess it up!
The flower is from the Floral Essence stamp set. I stamped it and colored with the Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Combo. It is fussy cut with my sharp Paper Snips. The vellum leaves are just perfect for the softness of the DSP I believe. This suite of products has , not only the Perennial Essence DSP, but Perennial Essence Vellum! A definite WOW! There are several soft shades of vellum that match the DSP. This is definitely a suite where “I Want It All!”.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you like this card. It is a bit different than my usual cards.

I mentioned yesterday I was saying goodbye to some of my favorite DSP today. Yes, It is the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper. It such fun animal prints, but also really bright sides as well. I love both sides. Thankfully the Animal Outing Bundle will be carrying over……..BUT it will no longer be a bundle in the new catalog. So if you do not have it, get it before June 3 and save yourself 10%.
If you follow my blog, you know that I love bright colors most of all. This Designer Series Paper is right up my alley!! I love to color, but the beautiful giraffe is not my coloring (I wish I was that good!). It is cut directly from a piece of the DSP. The dies and paper pair up exactly for ease of card making. Or I can imagine in a scrap book for the “wild child”!!
I layered the same piece of DSP . The Berry Burst that is attached to the Lemon Lime Twist base is the back side of the top layer of DSP with the cute birds.
I was afraid my little giraffe would not show up enough. I raised him with dimensional, and then grounded him with the strip of Lemon Lime Twist Ombre ribbon. The sentiment is stamped on white and punched with the Tailored Tag Punch. I love using that layer in the up and down direction. The added bling is from the Glitter Enamel Dots.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you will return tomorrow for a project with new products!!

Today I am sharing a couple of cards that I have made previously for occasions such as Memorial Day. We owe our freedom to those brave soldiers who were not able to retire from the military or be appreciated for their service to our country.
Ribbon of Courage, 143855
This card was from last Memorial Day. You can click HERE to see that post.
All Things Thanks, 143097
This one was a July 4th post quite a while ago. But it fits the bill for today just the same. You can click HERE to view that post.
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you have enjoyed a weekend with family and friends. Please think of our military and especially those who did not return home.
I hope you will return tomorrow for a new project. I will be saying goodbye to one of my favorite designer series papers. The stamp and dies will be staying around though. Does that give you a hint???

I have a quick card to share that got a laugh from my Stamp Club last weekend. I had given it another name though. I named it “Kick Butt”. They saw the humor. This card is for those days that you really have to get up and get going.
I believe most of us can relate to this card in some way. For me, I am trying to get into better shape and spend several mornings a week at the park walking the trails. I feel like raising my arms and cheering when I am finished each day. Can you relate in some way?
The hardest part of this card is stamping the image to show behind the window. I punched the circle with the 2 1/4 Circle Punch. I then adhered the white piece on the inside of the card and made a small tick with a pencil to the top of the circle. Since this set is photopolymer, it was easy to insure my background went a bit above that mark. Then I knew where the silhouette needed to be. Easy Peasy.
For a bit of depth to the front, I chose to stamp and then punch the Tailored Tag Punch and I turned it longways instead of side to side. The sentiment may not be appropriate for everyone, but I love it. It is the only thing raised with dimensional.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have an awesome Memorial Day Weekend. Please remember those who gave their life for us.
