The title of today’s post comes from the card I have made, but it could be thought of as remembering the outgoing catalog and looking forward to the new! I know both of those are in my thoughts!! Here is today’s card.
Rose Wonder, 140697
I love how this card turned out. I have to say it is a CASE from my Up, Upline Pam Morris. She swapped this card at On Stage and I loved the simplicity and awesome layout. Thank You Pam !!
All of the products, except the Rose Wonder stamp set, are on the retiring list. So Sad 🙁 I also want to say that I am sending this card to a fellow demonstrator who is going through a really hard situation right now. Please say a prayer for her.
There is not really anything to describe on this sweet card except to say I love everything about it. I really hate to see these Very Vanilla doilies, the ruched ribbon, and this beautiful Falling In Love DSP go away. I highly recommend this DSP if it is still available on the retiring list.
You can click on any of the products below to go to my online store and order up these beauties!
Thank you very much for stopping by today! I love to hear from you and would be honored to help you in your stamping endeavor!
I am behind on trying out the new Eastern Beauty bundle. And I have to say it is amazing! At first glance I thought it really was not my style. But the more samples I saw using the set made me rethink my opinion. So after getting my hands on it and playing… Oh My!! I love it !! The set is so versatile. Here is my first adventure with the Eastern Beauty Bundle.
Eastern Beauty Bundle, 145308
I really like how this turned out and this design could be used for so many different occasions. I don’t know if you can see from the picture, but the petals of the Powder Pink flower are popped open a little. That is from the Eastern Medallion Dies that are part of the bundle. There are 14 pieces to the bundle! I still have not played with the majority of the options. I have seen where other demonstrators have die cut and circle punched several sheets of possibilities. Once June 1 arrives I am sure you will be able to find all of these on Pinterest.
As you can tell my card was very simple with stamping the circles in Powder Pink and Berry Burst. I then stamped and Die Cut the flower. The strip of Lemon Lime Twist DSP was just to tie everything together and balance it out. And like i said earlier, this layout would go with many different sentiments for almost any occasion.
Thank you for stopping by today! We are winding down on the current catalog and the Retiring List. There are some great values to be found there. But you only have a couple more days, it ends on May 31st.
If you do not have a current Stampin’ Up ! Demonstrator and would be interested in a new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog, drop me a note and I will be happy to send you one.
Below are the products I used today. You can click on the card or any of the products to go directly to my online store.
This is my first post that is not a card! Oh MY !! But who does not like to receive cute little treats, especially chocolate. And this is a really quick pouch to make so if would be perfect for a little treat for a group and can be decorated to match the occasion. Here is my Delightful Daisy Treat Pouch:
Daisy Delight Bundle, 145361
Is this not Delightfully Cute ? HaHa…. I received the prototype for this little treat pouch at a swap and there was no name, so I cannot give the original maker credit. (Always put your name on your swaps!)
Too bad you cannot really see the beautiful Delightful Daisy DSP that is the band around the pouch. It is gorgeous!! I will give you the measurements for everything and show a picture of the inside piece. But trust me, this is super quick and easy if you were making multiples !!
The base of the pouch is done in Powder Pink card stock and measures 6 1/2 X 2
Score from each end at 3″, then punch each end with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch
The Band is done with the Delightful Daisy DSP and measures 5 1/4 X 2
Score the band at 1/2, 1, 3 , & 3 1/2. Use your bone folder to score each fold to assure it lines up properly
Add the Tear Tape to the very edge of the end opposite of the 1/2″ score.
Lay the band down with all folds folded and you can see that it overlaps perfectly. Peel off the tape and adhere.
Lay your nuggets down on the pouch and fold the top over then hold it and slide the band on.
Decorate the front as you like!!!
Wasn’t that quick and easy ? Here is a photo of the pouch, or the card stock that is scored and punched.
Delightful Daisy Treat Pouch
Can you see how technical this is???? I am really being silly. This is one of the easiest treat pouches I have ever made. So please give it a try.
For the Daisy on the front, I stamped the daisy twice in Powder Pink and punched out with the daisy punch. I sponged some Daffodil Delight to blend it with the DSP. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Birthday Banners Set in Powder Pink and just snipped the ends to make a banner. I used glue dots to adhere the daisy and a dimensional in the center of the daisy to hold the banner. Then just slide it over the top of the pouch and tie a bow. The bow is more for securing the candy during transport so they do not slide out the top!! We cannot have that!!
I hope you will try making these cute things and use your creativity to decorate the front. Thank you for stopping by today! I do not have the product list as they are all new items and I was having technical difficulty getting the pictures. I will figure this stuff out eventually! The main thing to remember is the Daisy Delight Bundle !!
Today’s card is one I shared with my stamp club on Sunday. I used the Window Shopping stamp set in a different way. Here is my card.
Window Shopping, 142920
For this card I stamped the two background pieces in Calypso Coral and Smoky Slate ink and then punched them out using the 1 1/4 circle punch. I then used the 1 3/8 circle punch to make backdrops for the stamped images in Calypso Coral and Smoky Slate card stock.
The Designer Series Paper is a retiring paper stack named A Little Foxy. It is cut to 5 1/4 X 1 and layered on a Calypso Coral piece cut to 5 1/4 X 1 1/4. After I placed the circles, I stamped Make A Wish in Smoky Slate ink and added the little cupcake from the stamp set in Calypso Coral.
For some added touches, I placed a Metallic Enamel Shapes heart in the center of the Smoky Slate circle. I also tied a bow using the Thick Baker’s Twine in Calypso Coral.
I hope you like this simple but a little different take on this card. The DSP and the Baker’s Twine I used are retiring. If you like any of these items, you can click on any of the product pictures listed below and it will take you to my on line store.
With all of the graduations going on now, I had a request for a Thank You card from a graduating senior. To say I was pleased is an understatement!! The card was for a favorite Aunt who loves to garden. This is what I came up with.
Helping Me Grow, 140764, $26.00
I used bright colors and a single stem from the Helping Me Grow stamp set and I do like the way it turned out. I hope the recipient does as well. Below are the card details.
The base is Melon Mambo cut to 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 and folded in half
The Whisper White layer is 5 3/8 X 4 1/8
The Wild Wasabi layer is 5 1/4 X 4 and embossed with the Petal Burst Embossing Folder
The smaller Melon Mambo is 4 3/4 X 2
The smaller Whisper White is 4 5/8 X 1 7/8
The flower and sentiment are stamped with Basic Black Archival Ink
The flower is colored with Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzaz markers
Clear Wink of Stella is added to the flower petals
