Today’s card showcases one of the single stamp sets that immediately caught my attention when the Annual Catalog debuted. It is the Amazing Year set. My favorite stamps are ones that can “stand alone”. This set has two of those, plus some great sentiments.
Stamp Set
The Amazing Year stamp set is such a great value and is wonderful for newer stampers. It allows us to make a card using just one stamp set. This one can have two different focal stars with a variety of sentiments. And this lovely bouquet has it’s own little attached sentiment on a tag.
Paper
There are two different pieces of DSP used on this card. Both are from the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper. The striped was a hit with me immediately. It reminds me of the old pillow ticking material. And the flower bouquet is stamped on a second piece of the DSP. By looking closely you can see the lines which appear to be from an old and faded ledger sheet. Stamping on DSP is something that we sometimes forget about. A perfect piece of paper as this is a great reminder to give it a try. It just stands up and begs to be stamped on!
Colors
Most of the colors used came from the Abigail Rose DSP. The Early Espresso is not a color that I used very often. But it is in most of the sheets of that DSP pack. So it was called to duty with the card base as well as the ink for stamping the bouquet. The color is just a bit softer than Black would have been. The colors for the flowers were the Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. Of course that came from the striped DSP piece. And the final touch is the strip of t he Natural Finish Ribbon. It blends perfectly and grounds the bouquet layer.
Measurements
The card base of Early Espresso is cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. For the layer I chose Crumb Cake. And it is cut to 5 1/4X 4 with the Striped DSP layer cut to 5 X 3 3/4. Finally the focal layers are cut 2 7/8 X 3 3/8 and 2 3/4 X 3 1/4. A last touch is the one Petal Pink Sold Faceted Gems.

Before I share the new Starter Kit promotion, I want to let you know that I will be on vacation for the next week and a half. But I will be posting again beginning on May 23rd, as long as all goes well. I could not talk my Hubby or the Kitty children into doing cards and posts. That is just not right. LOL!!!
So while I am away, I hope you will take a look at the awesome Starter Kit promotion. The new In Colors are all beautiful. It is tough to pick a favorite from this group. But with the promotion, you can get a bundle of In Color products. They are all listed in the promotion information below. And even though I will not be posting, I will be periodically checking email throughout the day. It would be really hard to totally disconnect!

AnToday’s card is a little bit of a Fun Fold paired with Symbol of Fortune Designer Series Paper. And the wonderful Flowing Flowers stamp set.
Today’s card is my entry as part of the design team for the Make My Monday Challenge. Springtime is the theme of this challenge. And these flowers with butterflies say Spring for me. You can join our challenge as well. Simply click on the icon and you will be taken to the blog.
Paper
The beautiful DSP is the star of this card. It is the Symbols of Fortune Designer Series paper from the Mini Catalog. This flowers and butterfly piece is my favorite piece of the pack. And the piece for the layer on the right hand side is the back of the first. I went with a very neutral Crumb Cake for the base and pulled the Evening Evergreen for the layers. There are several color options available to be pulled from this beautiful paper.
Stamps
With the gorgeous paper on this card I wanted a simpler stamp for the focal layer. My choice is a favorite from the Mini Catalog and it is the Flowing Flowers stamp set. That gorgeous, yet simple, flower is all the card needed. By using the Calypso Coral with the flower it allowed another complimentary color. And the simple “Hey” is from the Best Year stamp set. Just the tiny word was enough of an added punch.
Embellishments
To add a bit of sparkle for the flower the Iridescent Rhinestones for the center fit perfectly. And to mimic the sweet butterflies of the paper, one of the beautiful Brushed Brass Butterflies is flying in. These little guys add a touch of elegance to any card.
Measurements
This fun fold can be used vertically or horizontally with the focal layer moved around as well. With the focal layer placed a bit higher normal it shows the most of the butterflies on the paper. The Crumb Cake card base is cut to 5 1/2 X 7 1/2 and scored at 3 1/4. This allows the side strip of DSP to show. The Evening Evergreen layers are 3 X 5 1/4 and 1 X 5 1/4. And the DSP is cut to 2 3/4 X 5 and 3/4 X 5. The smaller strips are adhered to the inside White layer which is 4 X 5 1/4. Finally the focal layer is cut 3 X 3 and 2 3/4 X 2 3/4.

As awesome as the New Annual Catalog is, there are still great products available in the current Mini Catalog. I have combined the sets Catch You Later, Bragworthy, and Artfully Layered together for a fun card.
Stamps
These monkeys are so fun! I immediately think of hanging out with friends. So that is the direction I went. And of course the sentiment takes it the same direction. Yes, I did use three different stamp sets to create this fun card. The monkeys and sentiment are from the Catch You Later stamp set. It is full of similar fun images and sentiments. And the background I created was using the Artfully Layered set with the large leaf and smaller heart leaves.
And to share the third stamp set, the Bragworthy set, here is a view of the inside. It screams “Old Friends” to me!
I realize that this sentiment does not fit everyone. But it definitely works with me and my friends! This stamp set includes six unique and fun sentiments for different occasions.
Colors
To carry the outdoors theme I wanted a green color. But instead ended up with a blue / green by using Bermuda Bay. This is an awesome color that I use often. And to pair with the monkeys’ colors, I added the layer of Crumb Cake. For the stamped backgrounds I did tone on tone for both Bermuda Bay and Crumb Cake. The Crumb Cake images are stamped repeatedly before re-inking.
Embellishments
To give some added emphasis for the sentiment, I used the Double Oval Punch for a bit of an extra layer. And as a more masculine “bling”, I used the New Brushed Metallic Adhesive Dots. By adding one to each of the focal layers it brings them together. And I know I generally do at least three of my blings. This card just did not like adding a third one.

For today’s card I am focused on just one of the New In Colors. It is the Sweet Sorbet. And it is as sweet as the name sounds.
Papers and Colors
Stampin’ Up! has outdone themselves again with some of the gorgeous new DSP. This paper is Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper and it is outstanding! The faded looking images remind me of playing with leaves, construction paper, and the sun as a science project. Although their version is so much better! This is the new Sweet Sorbet In Color. You can see the darker shade of it towards the center of the print. And this pack of paper has all of the New In Colors included. It is a must have in my book.
Since the faded look in the papers is more Vanilla than White, I went with Very Vanilla for the tag and layer. And the lovely Sweet Sorbet is the card base. The full strength color was too dark on the tag, so it is stamped off for the Fern you see. However, it matches the lighter shades of the paper even better.
Stamps, Dies, etc
Surprisingly this is the same stamp set as yesterday’s card, Nature’s Print stamp set. And the little fern on the tag is the same one from that card. With this paper I did not want to cover it up with stamping. That really is a dilemma sometimes with the papers we have! Instead I went with one of the smaller of the Tailor Made Tags Dies. It was large enough to hold the sentiment and part of the Fern.
To finish this sweet card I added a bit of the Sweet Sorbet Metallic Ribbon to the tag. Not only does it add some shimmer but it adds yet another shade of the color. Each of these new colors I have played with have been my “current favorite”! And now this Sweet Sorbet is my Favorite!!
