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.

I have a project to share today that is using a Bundle that I said I would not purchase. Do you see how long that lasted? Yes, as soon as I began seeing samples, from other demonstrators that had gotten it in their preorder, I was sold.
The Celebrate Sunflower Bundle is fabulous!! If you can see in the photo, their is a very detailed stamp which matches two different dies. The first cuts out the stamped image. The second is the detailed sunflower outline I have layered on top.
I stamped the image in Mango Melody Ink and the detailed die cut is from the new Bumble Bee card stock. The leaves are stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink on Just Jade card stock and die cut as well. I stamped the sunflower again on scrap to get the center only. I used Stampin’ Write Markers in Mango Melody and Crushed Curry. I also “flicked” Soft Suede marker for the speckles. There is a die for the center as well. The detailed flower is secured with adhesive around the center. The center is raised using a Stampin’ Dimensional.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you are enjoying the new products. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

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. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I have a host code listed on the right hand column, if you are on a computer, or below if on phone or tablet.

I cannot believe the time is almost here for the new Annual Catalog!! It goes live tomorrow. So I wanted to share my favorite of the “retiring” items. I know I will miss quite a few, but this DSP is probably my favorite ever. I love purples and bold. Can you guess which one it is?
I suppose the title was a bit of a hint. Yes, It is the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. Thankfully the Painted Poppies and matching dies are going to carry over into the new catalog.
For this card I showcased my favorite two pieces of the DSP. And that was hard to narrow it down to just two. But since I love purple, I went with the Purple polka dot, which is a mixture of Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bushel. The top layer has those colors as well as a couple of green and a touch of blue.
I focused with the Blackberry Bushel and Rich Razzleberry for the flowers of my stamped image. I stamped in Rich Razzleberry and used the speckled stamp to stamp the center areas with Blackberry Bushel. The leaves I stamped in Old Olive and colored using the Old Olive Stampn’ Blends.
The sentiment is from another stamp set that I am thrilled is carrying over. It is the Inspiring Iris. That is a wonderfully flexible stamp set.
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you have your order ready to go for tomorrow morning, or middle of the night if you are a light sleeper 🙂 !!

I am playing along with a sketch challenge today. In looking through my stamp sets for the one to use, I ran across one that I have not used in quite a while. It is carrying over to the new catalog so I did not feel too bad for having snubbed it lately.
Yes the stamp set is Rooted In Nature, and it has the matching dies of Nature’s Roots. This is for the Case This Sketch challenge #374. It is a Retro Challenge, so the sketch has a different number on it. And here is the sketch.
I really think this is a great sketch. It leaves a lot to the imagination. The background could be very busy or very clean. I went with the clean look. And that is very different for me!
I used two of the new 2020-2022 In Colors, Cinnamon Cider is the card base, and Bumble Bee is the background layer. I embossed the background using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I love the little bit of definition that folder gives.
The tree is from the stamp set. I colored it using my Shaded Spruce and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers. Markers are the must have for coloring directly onto the rubber. The tree is cut out using the matching die.
The sentiment is one solid sentiment from the stamp set as well. It is stacked on top of each other and I wanted to spread them out to give more focus on the sentiment. So I used my sharp Paper Snips and cut each word out and then glued them down.
The embellishments are from the 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots. You know how much I LOVE and use little embellishments like this! I chose to go with the Cinnamon Cider ones here.
I hope you will give this sketch a try as well. I could do another one that would totally different.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a good Monday!

Today I have a card giving you a sneak peek of the new Jar of Flowers stamp set. It is so pretty. I grew up around the Ball Jars used for canning. My favorites were the older blue ones. My Mom used them as flower vases, so anytime I see flowers in a jar I am reminded of those.
I picked a variety of colors for my flowers. I love mixed bouquets rather than just one color. I believe this set, and the different flower bundles you can create, will be perfect for mixed or single color arrangements. All of the flowers are colored using the Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the floral part with Gray Granite Ink. I think of it as a neutral that just highlights the outline. Smoky Slate Ink works in the same manner.
The jar is stamped using Bermuda Bay , with the water line in Coastal Cabana. I filled in the water area with the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends. To highlight the jar color, I chose the Bermuda Bay card stock embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder as the layer. The Tin Tile seems to go well with the jar.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have an awesome weekend and will return on Monday. It is hard to believe that it will be June 1st. Wow!! Time has been flying by. The new catalog will be LIVE next Wednesday!!! Do you have your wish list ready?

Below are links to the two Retiring or Last Chance Lists. Keep in mind, a Bundle may retire, but the stamp set and dies or punch can still carry over. So look for the individual item. Also, all of the Stampin’ Blends are not retiring. It is only that in the new catalog, they will be sold in the combo pack only. The only ones retiring are the 2018-2020 In Color ones.
You may also click on the Shop Now on my Menu bar and be taken to my online store. There you can see all of the Retiring / Last Chance items as well as all other products.
