I have commented a few times regarding the Peony stamp set and that it is my favorite flower. Today’s card is a bit of an elegant version using that stamp set. I rarely do cards on the elegant side. I hope you like this one.
The only item from the Peony Garden Suite that I did not use is the Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon. And it would have worked with this card. I just didn’t think of it.
I really adore this Dainty Diamond 3D Embossing Folder. It is pretty regardless of which side of the embossed paper you use. It is another folder that is a bit on the more subtle side. I like that very much.
The small peony flower is just so pretty. I stamped it with Gray Granite Ink and colored just the highlights of the blossom with Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend. The leaves were colored using the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend. It is die cut and then raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment is from the stamp set and it stamped in Gray Granite as well. I stamped it towards the bottom of the card stock and then punched using the Label Me Lovely punch. The added touch is the Elegant Faceted Gem.
I wanted a bit more for grounding the sentiment and flower. So I used a 3 X 3 piece of the Peony Garden DSP. I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round the corners and then layered the Square Vellum Doily on top. This could be placed square or diamond angle. I liked the diamond better.
Thank you so much for stopping in today. I hope you like this card and will leave some comments. Please return tomorrow for another new project.

I have been using quite a few of the new In Colors in the recent weeks. However, I keep coming back to Misty Moonlight. Blue has always been my favorite color, and this is a perfect blue. I discovered in making today’s card that it pairs wonderfuly with Seaside Spray. That was my favorite color from last year’s In Colors. Combining my two favorites gave me a happy stamping day.
I really had no idea where I was going with this card when it was started. I had the negative of the black circle from Friday’s card on my desk. I decided I had not done any sponging lately so picked it up. I used the Seaside Spray for the inside of the circle. I then added Misty Moonlight to the outside. It sort of reminded me of a foggy full moon. From there the idea of the globe finished the card.
I added the globe by stamping it with the Misty Moonlight. I knew I wanted to use this sentiment and have it mimic all the circles. So I stamped it and die cut using the Stitched Shapes dies. I love the stitching detail. For the background, I found a Layering Circle die that fit perfectly. The finishing touch was the Misty Moonlight ribbon.
Thank You for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful day.

One of the stamp sets that I knew immediately that I would purchase is the Pampered Pets. I purchased the entire Suite of products. I love all animals, but especially cats and dogs. And these products are all adorable. So I am sharing a card with them today.
I just love the look on the kitty’s face! It is a happy face. In sharing this card, I am also playing along with the Case This Sketch Challenge. I changed the orientation of the card, but it is still the same layout. Here is the sketch:
I used quite a few products for this sort of plain looking card. The cat is stamped and die cut using the matching dies. The background circles are cut using the Layering Circles Dies. I cut strips of the Real Red and Basic Black for the heat embossed sentiment.
The sentiment is on one stamp. I used the washi tape technique again to stamp the two lines individually. They are stamped in Versamark Ink and then heat embossed with White Embossing Powder. The Real Red strip is punched using the Lovely Label Punch.
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and are able to get some crafting time in.

I mentioned last week that I love sketches as a means of beginning a card. I have one of those cards to share again today. It is from the FabFri sketch challenge.
Here is the sketch I used:
This sketch challenge has a very simple appearance with a sentiment across the front. I especially loved the slight angle to the layers. I gave mine a bit more angle though. For me, the simple look said DSP or embossed layers. So I used both.
I began with my favorite of the new In Colors of Misty Moonlight. Actually you could almost say I have an all Misty card, with the exception of the white. The DSP has the Misty Moonlight in it and I used Misty Moonlight Ink for the sentiment and feather.
My back layer is the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder on Whisper White card stock. The gorgeous DSP is the In Good Taste Designer Series paper. There are so many different versions of texture in that package.
For the sentiment, I used the Tasteful Touches stamp set. The words and the feather are both from the set. My initial plan was to fussy cut the feather and raise it. But I played with the layout a bit and decided to have it attached. I compromised and fussy cut the feather while leaving it attached to the sentiment layer.
I added one of the 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots to the center O of the “So” in the sentiment. I also used, for the first time, the new Stampin’ Seal as my adhesive. I really like it. It runs smoothly and it doesn’t take much of a snap to break the thread. Before you had to make a very sharp check to brake the thread. This takes very little movement. So far it is looking good!
Thank you very much fro stopping by today. I hope you will return tomorrow for another new project.

Good Friday Morning to everyone. I am so loving playing with my new products! I have a card to share with you that is almost all new items. And I am in love once again!
Can you see the details in the stamped leaves? That is not a trick, or great photography. That is the awesome detail in the stamps. This was one of the stamp sets I was going to pass on. And then I saw it demonstrated at one of our On Line Events with Stampin’ Up! . The details was so intense that I knew I had to have it. When I stamped this center leaf in Pretty Peacock I was amazed. Pictures do not do it justice. It is the Forever Fern stamp set. Of course I had to get the Bundle, but did not use the Dies today.
Okay, besides me being in love with the details of the stamps, here are the rest of the products I used. I stamped the various leaves in Pretty Peacock, Mint Macaroon, and Shaded Spruce Inks. The sentiment is also from the Forever Fern set and is also stamped in Pretty Peacock.
Both stamped images are die cut using the Tasteful Labels Dies. I used the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper as the background. And yes, I did use the “other” side, as usual. The ribbon grounding the stamped images is the Just Jade woven ribbon. I added a few of the Holiday Rhinestones for added texture and bling. I am thrilled with all of the “bling” that carried over into this catalog. Almost every color has a matching bling now!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Please come back on Monday to see what new products I have to share. Also, next Wednesday is the monthly Pals Blog Hop. That is always a great way to see quite a few awesome projects.

When I mentioned yesterday that I would be up early to make my new catalog order, I obviously did not read the “Go Live” time. 🙁 It is not until 12PM Mountain Time. So for those near me in the Eastern Time Zone, we do not go live until 2PM. That is so sad. I was all excited to get up early and get my order in. It just means longer anticipation.
For today’s card, I am doing a little bit of #simplestamping. The card I made could not get any simpler. That does not mean it is not a cute card. I personally love it.
I have showcased two New items. The main sentiment layer is one of the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Card Pack pieces. That is a mouth full!! But these cards are so pretty. If you are not familiar with the Memories & More line of products, They are on pages 154-155 in the New Annual Catalog. They can be used for journaling, photo backgrounds, and cards, as well as scrapbooking. The sentiment is from the Lovely You stamp set and is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
The base of the card is one of the Whisper White Note cards and Envelopes. I cut a piece of the new Just Jade card stock to fit the dimensions of the card. But that left extra space on each side of the M&M card. So I placed it over to the left, with equal edging. I then added a piece of the Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon on the extra space on the right hand side. Easy Peasy!!
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you have your wish list ready to go. If you do not currently have a demonstrator, I would love to take care of your crafting needs.
