I am sharing another of the Hidden Gems in the new Annual Catalog. Today I am excited to show you the Scallop Notecards and Envelopes. They are replacing the White and Vanilla Notecards that retired, although they may still be available on the clearance rack.
These new envelopes are in four colors that you can match with so many of the Stampin’ Up! colors. Here is my quick little card.
I chose to try the Balmy Blue scallop card to begin with. They also are in pink, old olive and terra-cotta tile. I paired mine with a piece of Whisper White card stock that I stamped the Abstract Impressions flowers on.
I used the new Purple Posy Scallop Linen Ribbon to add some texture to the bottom. This comes in a few of the new colors and is awesome!
OOPS: I made a mistake. I used the Purple Posy Ink on this project. It is the one that there were issues with the formula. So I apologize, but it is not orderable at this time. I am so sorry!!!
My unconventional flowers are stamped in Purple Posy ink and Rococo Rose ink. The Purple Posy is full strength and the Rose is stamped off once. The Old Olive for the stems are some full strength and some stamped off as well.
The scallop notecard is 3 1/2 X 5. I cut my Whisper White layer down to 3 X 4 1/2. It is raised with dimensional also.
Thanks for stopping in today. I will have a more regular card to share with you tomorrow….I hope!! But please do not dismiss these Hidden Gems when looking through the catalog. And if you do not have a new catalog, or a demonstrator, please let me know. I would love to get a catalog to you and help you with your stamping needs.

Happy New Catalog Day!! I made that up of course, but I am so thrilled to be able to order more new products. And I am sure you are as well.
There have been quite a lot of samples of this Good Morning Magnolia stamp set. Last night I only had a few minutes to get today’s project ready. So I tried to do a quick and versatile card. I am very happy with what I came up with.
I see this layout as a group of Thank You , and just Hello type cards for a nice gift. I already have that picture in my mind with a cute decorative box to match.
I went with subtle colors for the magnolia to pair with. The speckle around the magnolia is, surprisingly, from the Birthday Backgrounds stamp set. I stamped off in Petal Pink to get the really soft splatter look. I felt that it needed just a bit of “something else”. So I added the two falling leaves. I like the way it turned out.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will return tomorrow. The complete list of products is at the bottom of the post. There are not very many items used on this one though!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around REMEMBER. This word can mean different things to different people – fond memories, respectful tributes, special occasions that we’ll never forget. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I love today’s blog hop theme. To me, Remember is the same as memories. So in looking through my stamps for something that fit that description, I ran across a perfect stamp set. It is retiring, so I love that I am getting one more use out of it.
This Jar Of Love Bundle has been a go to set for me for a while. I just love Ball Jars!! That is the memory for this card. When I was a kid, we did everything from drink, to catch lightning bugs, plant terrariums, use as fish bowls, and last but probably the most use was as a vase for flowers. My Mom loved the blue Ball jars. She kept those for flower vases or to hold candy. Those were special. I think she would like today’s use of the jar.
To get the look I wanted for the Blue jar, I stamped and embossed the jar with White Embossing powder on Vellum card stock. I then went back with the LOVE in Smoky Slate Embossing Powder. It did not turn out as I thought it would. But I like the very light result even better. I adhered the vellum jar to a jar die cut in Coastal Cabana. I put rolled up glue dots in each corner to hopefully not be seen.
I stamped and die cut the flowers in two colors on each flower. I stamped the leaves directly on the white. Some of the flowers are raised with Dimensionals and some are flat on the white. The yellow flowers all received an Artisan Pearl for the center. It doesn’t show well, but all of the flowers received just a touch of Wink of Stella to give them a bit of sparkle.
The background paper is a sneak peek from the next Annual Catalog. It is the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. It had just enough of Coastal Cabana / Bermuda Bay blue in it to work perfectly.
Thank you for stopping by today. I am last on the roster today, but depending on where you started you may not have been to number 1 yet. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the bloghop, Brian King at Stamp With Brian. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!

The next two days I am breaking out some new stamp sets. I know other demonstrators have been using them for a few weeks. I wanted to give some last minute LOVE to the retiring products first. And I will continue to do that. But I thought you would like to see some new items, and I was getting antsy wanting to play with them!!
I assume that you guessed the stamp set from the title of the page today! Aren’t these birds adorable? And the designer series paper is a WOW!!! Stampin’ Up! colored several of the pages with the Stampin’ Blends and then photographed it for the paper. Extreme Talent!!
I chose the branch full of birds and decided to make them Robins. I know the colors are not perfect, but I love coloring. You will probably see many variations of colors as I play with this set more. The Designer Series Paper, Bird Ballad, is great with birds, feathers, flowers, etc. I chose the feathers today because of the colors and it leaves white space to match the birds.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a great day and will return tomorrow. I have another new stamp set to share!

I have a very simple and quick card to share today. I have fallen back to the annual catalog for the Rooted In Nature stamp set. I wanted to showcase some of the retiring colors and thought the nature set would be perfect.

I used the Tranquil Tide and Lemon Lime Twist retiring ink colors as well as Granny Apple Green. The leaf that looks sort of Blue is the Tranquil Tide. It is really amazing how colors sort of change when next to other colors.
The sentiment is a favorite of mine. I love the look it gives. I flanked it with the Lemon Lime Twist smaller leaves and then made a tag from the Banner Triple Punch. Of course I had to add something else. So I decided on the Linen Thread. You can never go wrong with that thread!!
Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate it and as always have listed all of the products used at the bottom of the post.

If you place an order with me, please use the April Host Code of 3KNKXJFH. If your order is $75.00 (of product) or more, I will send you a small gift. If it is over $150.00 (of product) I will send you a small gift, but DO NOT use the code. 150.00 is the minimum host rewards so you get the host rewards.
One of the best deals that Stampin’ Up! has in every catalog are the Host Rewards Stamp Sets. They are basically half price sets. The downside is that you can only purchase them if you are a host or you place a qualifying order of $150.00. I know reaching that dollar amount is very easy!! LOL!! But having a party with a group of friends is even better. I would love to share some stamping with you and a few friends. Think about it please!
I am showcasing one of the Host Rewards sets today. It is the fabulous Very Vintage stamp set. I love the look of the faded/distressed cards you can make with this. I hope you like it.

I just adore the softness of this card. I paired Sahara Sand with Highland Heather and I think it worked beautifully. I stamped off with the Sahara Sand ink for the background. I stamped the doily three different times. I then stamped the flowers over top. The Highland Heather is dark enough to overcome the Sahara Sand easily.
To finish the card off, I tied a knot with the Braided Linen Trim. I am thrilled that it will be carrying over into the new annual catalog. I also stamped the flowers on a scrap of paper and punched the small butterfly from the Butterfly Duet Punch. The punch is back in stock and is also carrying over to the next catalog. I gave just a touch of bling to the butterfly by adding the smallest of the rhinestones to it.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you will return tomorrow. If you would like to check out all of the retiring products, I have the Last Chance link below. I also have a Host Code if you place an order.
