The way time flies it seems, I decided I should get with Valentine Cards. It will be here before we know it. And I am enjoying the two heart stamp sets in the new Mini Catalog that just debuted. The matching heart punch pack with scalloped and straight cut hearts are fabulous. Here is a look at a quick and easy Valentine card.
The colors in the gorgeous DSP are Flirty Flamingo and Real Red. I went with the Flirty Flamingo as a backdrop and focal point on the heart. I also used the new Heart Doilies behind the Flamingo heart. The doilies are adorable and come in both colors also. They will fit perfectly in the heart shaped tins in the suite of products. I will share a project with those soon.
I stamped the sentiment inside the heart and then punched it from the DSP using the scalloped heart punch. I layered it onto the doily heart and raised them with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The strip of card stock was just in place of a ribbon as something to ground the heart. This is a quick and easy trick when you may not have a matching ribbon or just want to use a scrap of DSP or card stock.
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you will stop back tomorrow for another new project. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the page.

The list below is the CARRYOVER List. Items from the Holiday Catalog that will carry over to the 2020 Holiday Catalog. They will not be orderable between the two catalogs however.
I am sharing the Painted Poppy Bundle today. I saw it at Stampin’ Up! OnStage in Atlanta last month, and I have seen other demonstrators’ cards. Playing with it myself was still amazing! The stamps and dies, as always, are awesome.
Poppies are very popular this year. I have been seeing them everywhere. I was looking at the little pocket calendars at Dollar Tree the other day and there were a couple with different poppy designs.
The border across the bottom is only half that size. I stamped it twice. For the large poppies, I die cut the solid flowers usig the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series paper. The coordinating color is Poppy Parade (wonder if that was planned a while back/) so of course my outlines are in that color.
The leaf is cut from Mossy Meadow, another coordinating color for the DSP. I secured it under the large flower and left the top part free to move around. The sentiment is from another new stamp set, Positive Thoughts. All of the sentiments are wonderful. I used Old Olive card stock as the dividing layer as well as the Old Olive Stampin’ Blend for the border flower stems. I liked the lighter color to pair with the Poppy Parade.
Thank you for stopping by today. I have a candy treat to share tomorrow.

I am going to attempt to share only Fall and Thanksgiving cards this week. Christmas is almost upon us and I don’t want to skip over Thanksgiving. Although, I believe most of us have done that already.
I am thrilled with how this card came together. My “Go To” Fall designer series paper has been the Come To Gather DSP. I love every single piece in the package. And both sides of each piece! This is a print that I do not believe I have used previously.
The stamp set is the Country Home from the Annual Catalog. I was thrilled that it carried over and it pairs so well with the Gathering Leaves in the Holiday catalog. Everything except the “LOVE” is from the Country Home stamp set. I stamped and then used a variety of Stampin’ Blends to color the arrangement.
The beautiful LOVE is from the So Many Stars stamp set. There is a LOVE in the Country Home set, but this one had previously caught my eye. I really adore the font of this one.
Thank you for dropping by today. I hope you will return tomorrow for another new project.

UPDATES:
The new Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer has been revealed!! It is available for order by Demonstrators on October 1. Here is a picture of it. I will be giving you my opinion after the beginning of the month. I cannot wait and I hope you will be just as excited! The trimmer will be available for customer orders beginning on November 1st. WooHoo!!
CHRISTMASTIME IS HERE SUITE BUNDLE: This can be ordered as a Suite Bundle with everything pictured, or individually to get just the pieces you want. The products will be available on November 1 for customers to order.
The Tea Together and Tea Time Dies were never a bundle but are a super pairing of products. It gives a very classic scene for a card.
I paired the sweet products with the softest of the Stampin’ Up! colors. It is the Purple Posy. Sadly, there are still failed results for the Purple Posy Ink. So Stampin’ Up!, with their great care for quality, has decided to give up on the Purple Posy Ink. All of the other Purple Posy products will still be available. The Stampin’ Blends works beautifully as you can see in the tea cup.
I stamped the tea cup in Highland Heather and then colored parts with the Purple Posy Stampin’ Blend Light. The flower is stamped in Smoky Slate and colored with the Purple Posy, Light Highland Heather, and Light Old Olive Blends.
The tag is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Birthdays and is puched using the Classic Label Punch. After punching, I put the one end back into the edge of the punch to make the flagged end.
The background designer paper is from the In Color Designer Series Paper for 2019-2021. I used two different patterns of the Purple Posy DSP.
Thank you very much for checking in today. I hope you will return tomorrow for another new project.

A challenge I recently participated in was to do a Single Layer Card. That means to stamp directly on the folded base of the card. You can add an embellishment, but no other layers. These can be hard to do when you are accustomed to multiples layers plus a sentiment layer. I found a great stamp set to use though.
I chose the Memorable Mosaic stamp set and used the Weeping Willow looking tree. I love the definition these stamps give. I stamped the top with Mint Macaron Ink and it looks like it is two different shades of color. It is not, it is the stamp itself. LOVE!!!! The tree trunk is the same way. It is stamped in Soft Suede Ink.
The sentiment is from the stamp set Here’s A Card. I love that wording. I believe I will turn this card into a 3 X 3 with the same sentiment and use them as Random Acts of Kindness cards to hand out.
The only embellishments are the Noble Peacock Embellishments. The color compliments the Mint Macaron of the leaves.
Thank you for stopping by today! Don’t forget the Flash Sale that is today only!!! You can go directly to my online store HERE.

When looking through the stamp sets for a birthday idea for a stamping friend, I found the perfect set – or sets! What is better than It Starts With Art and Crafting Forever. A win / win.
This card does not scream “Birthday” so it could be for any occasion needed for a crafting or stamping friend. I was thrilled with how the two stamp sets paired so well together. I may have even gone a bit overboard on all the cuteness.
I used the It Starts With Art Bundle (stamps and dies), along with stamps from Crafting Forever. I used the Button Embossing Folder as the background. The embossed and die cut button is from the bundle and has a bow from Baker’s Twine as the string. The ribbon looking strip across the bottom is from the bundle as well.
Before I go, I wanted to give you my thoughts on the New Paper Cutter. I LOVE IT!!!! And I am not just saying that because I want you to purchase it when it becomes available to customers. The cutting blades are awesome. They are very sharp and require no pressure when sliding the blade. I have had to work on that part. The only thing to get used to is the bar itself. It locks into place when it is closed. I had to play with it a bit to figure out how to easily open it. But I think it gets easier the more used and as I get used to the proper way to open it.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you are having a good start to your week. Please come back tomorrow for another new project.
